So...what's the catch? You are only allowed to receive, while supplies last, a maximum of ONE free cosmetics product from ONE of the Manufacturer Defendants. You must also fill and sign a form to verify that you purchased Department Store Cosmetics during the class period, May 29, 1994 through July 16, 2003. No rainchecks will be issued, and this offer is only valid while supplies last.

What do you want to pick up? I'm thinking maybe the Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Body Lotion...
