(Click on the video above to watch the Birthday Freebies video. Or if you don’t see the video, click here to watch it on youtube. If you liked the video, click here to Subscribe to future videos.)

Hey Guys! These are the 41 Birthday Freebies you can score for your birthday. And I personally tested 20 of these a couple of years ago for my birthday. Hope you enjoy!

In this video, we’re covering a HUGE list of places where you can get Free Gifts and Free Birthday Coupon for on or around your birthday. Anything from Free Makeup, Free Shopping and Free Food!

Every Birthday Freebie deal in this video I was able to test and confirm myself (at the time of this recording). And every freebie offer had to pass a strict true freebie test where you didn’t need to buy something in order to get the freebie (ie. Buy 1 Get 1 Free coupon). I pulled out any outdated Birthday offers that were no longer a true freebie, and I’m updating this post regularly by also adding new freebies to those still available from the video above!

I will go into detail about how to sign up and claim each of the freebie offers.

FREE Makeup!

1. Free Makeup from Sephora!

Choose between two Birthday Freebies: Free makeup kit or Free Skincare kit. The birthday freebies are Sephora changes once a year. You can see the current Birthday Freebie items here.

At the time of this writing, I was able to get the Kat Von D Beauty kit – came with eyeliner, setting powder and lipstick sample.

How to Sign up to Sephora Birthday Freebie:

How to Claim Sephora Birthday Freebie:

You can redeem at any point during your birthday month. If your birthday is at the start or end of the month, you can also redeem 2 weeks before or 2 weeks after your actual birthday date.
You don’t need an email. Just walk into any Sephora stores, including Sephora inside JCPenney , give the cashier your email or phone number associated with your Beauty Insider membership and let them know you would like to redeem your birthday freebie.
If you have an issues (ie. Wrong birthday set in your account). Open up a chat with Sephora customer service to get it corrected.

2. Free Makeup from Ulta

Ulta offers Free Full-Size makeup as a Birthday gift to its Ultimate Rewards Members each year with a special code sent in email. You want to make sure your birthday is actually set in your profile.

The actual Birthday Freebie item will change every few weeks. At the time of this writing, I had gotten a Free Tarte Liquid Lipstick. They had 4 shades to choose from.

If you did not receive this email, call customer service, and they can force sent the email to you containing this code.

3. Free $10 from The Body Shop

The Body Shop offers one of my favorite Free Birthday Gifts to its members: $10 to Spend on Anything in the store! YAY! There were a ton of stuff to choose from that were $10 and less in stores (Lipstick, Bodywash, Matte Clay foundation, travel size lotions, tea tree oil, bath sponges, and tons of accessories).

You do not need to pay tax on the amount the reward covers, so if you find something for exactly $10, you leave paying $0. I had tested with a $7 item to see how taxes were treated, and there was no tax. The Free Gift coupon worked on products under $10.

How to Sign Up for The Body Shop Birthday Free Gift:

Sign up to Love Your Body Club for Free
Make sure your loyalty card is linked to your online account by checking the following:
- Click “My Accounts” and “Profile”

How to Claim The Body Shop Birthday Free Gift:

The Free $10 Birthday Reward will show up under “Vouchers” online. You can login to check if the $10 is there. You may not receive an email about it.
You don’t need to print or show anything. Once you know your $10 Birthday Reward is in your account by checking that it’s listed under “Vouchers”, go into any Body Shop store. Simply give the cashier your phone number at checkout and they can apply the Freebie to your transaction.
As of 2021, to be eligible for the reward you should have purchased at least one item from your account before your birthday month. If you did not receive a Birthday Freebie Voucher during your birthday month, chat with customer service to get it fixed.
The Birthday Voucher Reward is supposed to expire after 30 days. However, my replacement reward had a 3-month expiration.

4. Free Makeup from BareMinerals

BareMinerals offers a Free Full-Size Makeup item for reward members of FAB (Friends and Benefits). The actual makeup item can change from year to year. Currently, the Free Birthday Gift item is a Free Full-Size Loose Mineral Eyeshadow that retails for $15!
