No unfortunately when the store runs out that's it. They only shipped a certain amount per store so once it's gone, it's gone. First day my store ran out at 7pm! But then again some stupid person was letting kids like 7 yrs old sign and get stuff, I thought that was ridiculous.

I tried to go the first day but there was a line wrapped around the building! so, I didn't even bother, then I learned they ran out the first day and it was the product of their choice so I was kind of glad i didn't waste my time in line.

I got a 1 oz Clinique moisture surge from Nordstrom. I didn't bother going anywhere else. The line was fairly short and went quick. I wanted a Lancome mascara though ;\
One thing that bothers me is that I'm sure there are people who have never even purchased cosmetics in their lives and are getting the products. I'm sure that means less available for those that really were eligible, but then again, the department stores didn't even make an effort to even tell people what was the purpose of the free cosmetics. I think everyone just pretty much heard through word of mouth by mallgoers that if you get in line, you get something free.

Me and my mom went to the macy's and sak's downtown and both of them were completely out. But the counter at the mall by my house at macy's still had a little bit left. They were offering the Clinique moisture surge or some serum from Estee Lauder. We both opted for the Clinique moisture surge. This was on friday.
Today my dad wanted to go see if he could get one too since he's been buying the galatee confort sp? from Lancome for my mom for as long as I can remember during gift time. But they were totally out. Maybe I'll have him check out the new Nordstroms tomorrow but there prob out too.
Just a little extra something something: My first makeup memory was "attempting" to do my makeup when I was little with the GWP things Lancome gave out that my mom had but never used lol.

I forgot to ask this, but does this whole class action suit going to mean cheaper prices for cosmetics for us?

They showed the lines around here and they were hundreds long. The stupid stores were supposed to keep it one per person but they didn't bother and let everyone have what they wanted, so they were out in a matter of a couple of days. From what the news reporter showed, I didn't see anything I particularly wanted, but still.

Yeah there wasn't really anything on the list of free items that I really wanted or needed. It was just nice to get something back since they've been ripping us off for years. It's the least they could do.
The first macy's I visited said that they were completely out of free product a day and a half after it started.

I was wondering that too. Last year, we started seeing MAC giving discounts for the first time and I heard Nordstrom doing a buy 2 get 1 free with mascaras. I wasn't sure if it was because of the economy or because of the lawsuit.

^^ Yea, I was totally surprised when MAC had their first F&F sale and when they offered a free sample of the zoomlash mascara with every online order.
I think as of now it might be a mixture of the economy and the law suit. But I really hope that these stores become more competitive about their pricing so us customers can save a bit. It's about time where I'm able to go to different stores and check out prices before just buying something at any store because the prices were all the same and it didnt matter.
I asked a SA at Sak's and another one at the Lancome counter at Macy's and both said they weren't sure. But these companies did have to sign some kind of agreement with the government where they agreed to no more price fixing so maybe they will change prices? Or maybe there sneaky asses will find a way around it or something.
