Last week when I was doing some Mother's Day shopping I stopped at the MAC counter and was informed that the following weekend (today) they were having an event. With the event they were giving away gift bags/boxes with free samples with a purchase. For MAC I don't think there was a minimum purchase amount, so I just got 2 lipsticks and a lipglass I had been eyeing. I prepaid and all I had to do was pick it up today. Glad I did because it was a zoo. Makeup chairs everywhere in the beauty department, so many people. Ugh. I like to shop in peace and quiet, when I can have an associate's undivided attention.
So the box the samples came in is pretty cool, a super sturdy matte black box. I'm actually glad I got this over a bag because for my trip to Cali, I could put my travel makeup in the box and not be super worried that it will be damaged at the airport. It is really really tough. I listed the samples below, and I got a few Gucci Guilty because they know it's my current fave and I'm not ready to shell out a ton of money on perfume when I don't wear it too often.
The items I picked up were MAC lipstick in Viva Glam II (satin finish-a light brownish purplish color) and Creme Cup (a cremesheen finish--a soft, light pink) and a lipglass in Viva Glam V. There are sample pics below.
Free samples from my gift box:
- Thierry Mugler Alien eau de parfum
- Gucci Guilty eau de toilette
- Diptyque Eau Rose eau de toilette
- MAC Mineralize Volcanic Ash Exfoliator (super excited to try this--heard good things)
- MAC Zoom Fast Black Lash Mascara
- MAC Tan and Rose Pigment
