It's time to stock up on your beauty necessities (or those products you've been dying to test out). Beauty.com has partnered with Cushnie et Ochs for its latest gift-with-purchase makeup bag, which is stuffed with over 15 prestige samples. The up-and-coming design duo, Carly Cushnie and Michelle Ochs, channeled their Fall 2012 collection for the faux-leather pouch with an exposed black-zipper detail. The simple design makes it a great clutch for your phone, credit card, and lip balm, too. You'll get their cool-girl style free with any purchase of $100 or more, and the various must-try samples — from brands like Fekkai, Bliss, and Origins — make it even more of a good excuse to shop.

We all need a pretty cosmetic tote that's perfect for packing, and this one happens to come stuffed with beauty samples. As part of Lela Rose’s annual partnership with Beauty.com, the designer has just launched her latest offering: a vibrant clutch in the Peruvian-inspired Cajamarca print from her Spring 2011 collection. Starting now, customers who shop the site and spend over $100 will receive the chic, airy bag, along with 14 deluxe samples from brands like Tarte, Bare Minerals, Urban Decay, and Borghese. The samples are limited, so take advantage of this sweet deal by heading over to Beauty.com now.

For its gift-with-purchase makeup bags, Beauty.com has collaborated with a long string of designers: Chris Benz, Peter Som, and Marchesa, just to name a few. Now, Charlotte Ronson has joined that list with her "Lolita bag." Free with any purchase of $100 or more, the clear zippered pouch features black lace overlay and black patent trim as a nod to Ronson's Fall 2010 collection. Inside, $125 worth of beauty samples await. If you're looking for even more justification, think of it like this: using shopping math, the freebies practically make the $100 spent a wash.

From a floral Shoshanna makeup bag to a Rachel Roy cosmetics case, Beauty.com is always rolling out designer gifts with purchase. This time around, with a purchase of $100 or more, the website is offering up this Lela Rose Feather Painted Linen Beauty Clutch filled with 16 high-end samples from brands like Urban Decay, Rene Furterer, Caudalie, and Bliss.

This clutch, featuring a print from Lela Rose's 2010 Spring collection, reminds me of something my forever-stylish, cool aunt would have paired with a late '70s/early '80s wrap dress and roped wedges. So if you're in the market for some new makeup, here's your opportunity to make your shopping experience all the sweeter.

In an alternate universe, designer Chris Benz and I are best buds. We sit around drinking coffee while talking about how underrated 764-HERO was, and whenever I look schlubby, he loans me a beautiful piece from his next collection.

Sadly, we do not live in that universe. Fortunately, the one we do live in is filled with Benz-y beauty goodness. Last month saw the launch of Chris & Tell, his lipstick collaboration with Lancome; the creamy coral shade sold out nationwide in a flash. Now, he's teamed up with Beauty.com to create a wee travel kit (it's free with a $100 purchase). The turquoise "suitcase" comes with luggage labels, so you can customize it to your heart's content. Inside, there's $130 worth of full-sized products and samples from brands such as Origins, Skyn Iceland, Murad, and Phyto. So until that alternate universe switches into reality, beauty goodies will have to fulfill my Chris Benz dreams.
