Birthday freebies are always exciting, and for beauty enthusiasts, the birthday gifts from Ulta and Sephora are highly anticipated. Like many, I eagerly await my birthday month to see what these beauty giants have in store. This year, I decided to dive into the Ulta birthday gift experience, and here’s everything you need to know to make the most of your Ulta birthday perks.

Ulta Beauty’s birthday gifts are a fantastic perk for members of their Ultamate Rewards program. Unlike some retailers, Ulta truly treats its members, offering a free gift each quarter to celebrate your birthday month. These gifts are typically sample-size or mini versions of popular beauty products, allowing you to try something new without committing to the full size.
In the past, Ulta Birthday Gifts have included a variety of exciting products. For instance, one popular gift was the Lancôme Monsieur Big Mascara mini. This volumizing mascara is a cult favorite, known for delivering dramatic lash volume and intense black pigment. Receiving a mini size as a birthday gift is a perfect way to test out a high-end mascara and see if it lives up to the hype.

Typically, Ulta birthday gifts are available for redemption throughout your birthday month. To claim your gift, you’ll generally need to be an Ultamate Rewards member and have a valid birthday associated with your account. Ulta usually sends out a birthday coupon via email, which you can then redeem online or in-store. It’s worth noting that sometimes, like in my experience, you might need to wait until you receive the specific birthday coupon before you can redeem your gift. Patience is key to unlocking your beauty birthday treat!
While Sephora also offers birthday gifts, the offerings and redemption processes differ slightly. Sephora Beauty Insiders also get a birthday gift, often with a choice between a skincare or makeup set. In comparison, Ulta tends to offer a single gift option each quarter, but it’s consistently a desirable product. For example, Sephora’s gifts might include Tarte makeup sets, like a mini blush and lip paint duo. These are also great gifts, but the surprise element of Ulta’s quarterly gift reveal adds to the excitement.

To maximize your Ulta birthday perks, ensure you are signed up for the Ultamate Rewards program and that your birthday information is correctly entered in your account. Keep an eye on your email for your birthday coupon as your birthday month approaches. Ulta often announces the quarterly birthday gifts in advance, so you can get a sneak peek of what might be in store for you. Being an Ultamate Rewards member also unlocks other benefits, such as points for every purchase, which can be redeemed for discounts on future purchases. Plus, higher tier members, like Platinum and Diamond, often receive even more exclusive birthday bonuses and offers.
In conclusion, Ulta birthday gifts are a fantastic way for beauty lovers to celebrate their special day. Keep an eye out for those birthday coupons and get ready to treat yourself to some amazing beauty freebies from Ulta! Don’t forget to check the Ulta website or your email to discover the current birthday gift offering and enjoy your birthday month beauty haul.
