I visited Belks this weekend and saw that Estee Lauder has free gift totes and make up with a purchase. It started yesterday - March 30, 2009.

This is brick and mortar only as far as I can tell. They do have other specials online.

Depending on the dept store, the purchase price seems to be between $28 - $32. Many single items fall in that range.

The gift includes two small clutch or tote make up bags. The colors are rather dreadful I think - dark blue with lime green. But, they are nice little bags.

The make up can be selected with either warm or cool tones which is nice, since sometimes the gift colors don't work so well. Most people could wear one of the two color combos.

Make up gifts include a full sized lipstick, small mascara, eye colors (2) in a little slide box with a mirror, small thing of moisturizer, and tube of make up remover.

With a bigger purchase ($55 here at Belks), there's a large tote - the size of a pocketbook. You get all of the above plus the bigger bag that is mostly blue as far as the color.

Not sure how long the promotion lasts.

The products are nice, so if anyone needs make up or wants to try out some new ones, it's a nice free gift.
