I'll be the first to admit it, I'm weak when it comes to the power of the gift with purchase! There have been times where I buy things I don't really like just to get the gift with purchase (GWP).
It's like a high! A thrill you get as you're walking away from the makeup counter which lasts up until you get home and realize that you hate the colors that were included in the gift with purchase and the item you paid for was an impulse buy that you wouldn't have otherwise included in your collection.
Then you feel deflated and are stuck with a drawer full of lipsticks you're never going to use! Trust me, I know this feeling!
Barneys is notorious for giving the very best gift with purchase bags in the industry. So, I ordered Nanadebary Bronze which I wasn't crazy about at first but grew to love just to qualify for the GWP. Here's what came in my GWP bag:
