Macy's Perks: Free Gift Sets

Shopping at Macy's for cosmetic products has its perks. At Macy's, brands like Clinique, Lancome, and Estee Lauder offer free gift sets with a purchase of their products. Ever so often they will switch up the gift sets to offer different samples. I was so surprised to learn of this neat little trick. I wrote about this amazing discovery in my Smart Shopping: Tips and Tricks post. While I was there browsing, I witnessed about four back to back purchases from different customers, all trying to get their free gift sets with purchases. I just had to join in on the fun and experience this hype, at least once. I ended up purchasing from Clinique and Lancome. At Lancome, they had a special event at the end of April. If you make a pre-sale purchase, a minimum of $25, not only do you get a free gift set but you also get a free makeover! I totally signed myself up for one of those. Now that I know about gift sets, I've got my eyes peeled for these special deals.

Listed below are my two gift sets that I received, if you're curious as to what these gift sets look like and consist of.
