January 20, 2009 is a HUGE day in the USA. Not only is President Barack Obama taking his rightful place in the Oval Office, but beginning that day, as part of a wicked class action settlement, major department stores will be handing out $175 million worth of free cosmetics! Joy comes in the morning! All we have to do is show up at any of the stores listed below and fill out a short form stating that you bought something there during the period of 1994-2004. And I mean really, who hasn't? No prior proof of purchase or receipt required!
Products will be distributed for a maximum of seven days, while supplies last, on a first come, first served basis, so get there early!
The stores that will be participating in the settlement product distribution are:
- Bergdorf Goodman
- Bergner’s
- Bloomingdale’s
- Boston Store
- Carson Pirie Scott
- Dillard’s
- Gottschalks
- Herberger’s
- Macy’s
- Neiman Marcus
- Nordstrom
- Parisian
- Saks Fifth Avenue
- Younkers
Each person can request a maximum of ONE free cosmetics product from ONE of the Manufacturer Defendants listed below, which totally sucks because I was planning on heading straight to Short Hills Mall and going from Neimans to Nordstrom to Saks to Bloomies, filling out forms and collecting my free products! Oh well, one will have to do.
