I know I break the rules of tossing makeup every six months; I do have lipsticks that are years old. I promise I won't recommend it as long as I get to keep doing it.

(As a child I got my mother's left over unwanted Clinique bonus items. I guess there's some nostalgia in there.)
lol... i could almost have written your post... except that i don't spend $24 every two years... i did, however spend $26 on clinique foundation (for our wedding) and get the free gift... kept some of it and passed the rest on to 17 yr-old SIL... guess i have nostalgia there too... my grandma (who mostly only used the skincare products) would pass on the free gifts to mom who would then give them to me.... that was how i got most of my make-up... in fact, i still get make-up from them.... and i break the rules of tossing too... especially with my quality make-up, which i've noticed does tend to last for awhile...

princess perky,
definately love the cutco... i bought a small set when i was working for them because i wanted the discount even though i didn't have much spare money... unfortunately we still have junk frying pans that we are forever replacing... i intend on replacing them with something better someday...
