Posted: 07.21.2003 La la la la la - she's got the look Cosmetics companies have agreed to give away $175 million dollars worth of products to settle a price-fixing lawsuit -- that's according to lawyers involved in the case. The settlement, which must be approved by a federal judge, involves some of the country's largest cosmetics manufacturers and retailers. The giveaway is expected to take place in about a year, and would involve products specially manufactured for the occasion, according to lawyers involved in the case... Sure, cosmetics can be a rip-off, but just because they never go on sale, people sued? I'm not sure I understand. I mean, you can find discounted cosmetics online and it's not like they never have those gift-with-purchases. But, still... free. I love free. ¤ ¤ credit: Joelle | 07.21.03 at 02:18 PM | link--this ¤ ¤It didn't make much sense to me either... It's not like you don't have the choice of shopping drugstore vs. department store (although companies like Target and L'Oreal were named in the suit as well). But I've definitely earned my freebies over the years, and you can bet your sweept bippie I'll be in line to get 'em! ;-) ¤ ¤ credit: robyn | 07.21.03 at 02:56 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Excellent! Free make-up! Woo hoo! And after the pain that I've experienced by losing my favorite Lancome eyeshadow and buying a ton of stuff online that I *hoped* was it (but, alas, was not), I'll need something to ease my trauma. ;) ¤ ¤ credit: Kymberlie R.

Still...free is free and I'm in need. Of course, we'll be waiting forever for it to happen. ¤ ¤ credit: Da Goddess | 07.21.03 at 11:01 PM | link--this ¤ ¤yah. im bummbed Clinique isn't on the list..but still...that some high end free stuff right there :) ¤ ¤ credit: ruthie | 07.22.03 at 05:52 PM | link--this ¤ ¤
