I received a gift from a pharmacy

While we were away on the weekend, I had to buy a new lipstick as I’d forgotten to pack mine. I don’t wear it unless I’m going out so it’s not really on my list of priorities.
I went to a pharmacy, chose one I liked and took it to the counter. I had to wait a short while to be served which didn’t bother me but when it was my turn, for some reason they gave me a gift coupon to scratch and I ended up with a palette of eye- shadows. So that was a nice surprise.
I might end up giving it away so I already have several which I rarely use as it is. But it was nice to be given a free gift.

Now that is a good customer service story! People that wait patiently in line deserve rewards sometimes!

That is a fun gift. I haven't worn eye shadow in forever, but if I won some, I might have to start..lol. Congrats.

I rarely wear it either and I already have a couple of sets so I might pass this one on.

That’s a nice surprise. I have a lot of lipsticks and the funny thing is i hardly use them. Even when i go out i don’t put on lipstick. I only do when I’m in the mood too. But I’m a makeup addict. I love buying eye shadows, blush, etc but i dont put on makeup especially these days.

I never wear makeup anymore. But then I rarely go out anywhere so it would be kinda silly to use it. I do have some around "just in case" but I don't know in case of what, lol. Gifts are nice, kind of lifts the spirits no matter what.

You're right. A gift can be very small but it still lifts the spirits. I can't see myself using these so I'll gift them on to a friend.

Pretty has makeup but never wears it. I'm not even sure she kept it when we moved three years ago.
Some people don't need makeup to look beautiful. I'm sure you're in that category, too.

@JudyEv You're welcome... I'm sure nobody would have noticed if you hadn't worn any.

@DaddyEvil I'm sure you're right! I'll try to remember that next time.

What a nice surprise to get in addition to your new lipstick. Even if you don't use the eyeshadows you might find someone to gift it to.

@JudyEv what shade of lipstick did you get?

@Marilynda1225 It's called Pink Primrose. I'd call it a 'soft' pink - nothing special or outlandish.

That was nice of them and you got a free gift, not very often that happens. Maybe save it and give to someone for a christmas gift ?

@JudyEv Glad I could help. I'm starting to shop around early this year with shelves being bare right now i have a feeling christmas is going to be harder this year.

That's a good idea and I think that that is what I'll do.

That's a pleasant surprise. I enjoy getting such free gifts. If we don't find them useful , we can always gift it to others.
