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.

This palette is nice, I have to buy one soon, I am almost out of my favorite colors in my 6 colours palette. I think I am going to buy single colours.

I have several palettes but rarely use them so I might save this to use as a gift one day.

@JudyEv I have several that I also never use. My niece gave me some, but I am picky with colours.

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

I've never seen or heard of this practice before so it was quite a surprise.

I threw out a lot when we moved. Some of it was years old.

That was a nice surprise for you. I do not wear lipstick since I have to wear a mask when I go out.

@JudyEv I will sometimes wear it at home if we are having our son and his wife in.

There isn't much point wearing lipstick if you have to wear a mask.

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 rarely use much make-up at all. I suppose I have about four different lipsticks now.

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.

Thank you for the kind words. I rarely use make-up but we were going to one of the special events so I thought I needed some lipstick.

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.

Because of the value of the eyeshadow, I got the lipstick for practically nothing.

A surprise gift is always nice. I wouldn't mind, despite not wearing eye shadows. I received fake eyelashes once and didn't know what to do with them. I gave to my friend who loves wearing make up.

I will give these away one day. I don't need them as I have several such items and I rarely wear eye-shadow anyway.
