Ulta Birthday Gift 2021 for Ultamate Rewards Members by Month
The main change this year is that you can now claim your Ulta birthday gift online. As far as we know, the membership status this year remains the same. The annual spend to qualify for Platinum status is $500 just like 2020.
New This Year:
- Ulta is giving birthday celebrants the option to get a free gift online
- Must add birthday gift to shopping cart + apply the coupon to get the gift for free
- Coupon cannot be stacked online (can be stacked in-store)
- The free gift excludes shipping and handling if claimed online
January 2021 Ulta Birthday Gift
If you thought that Ulta went above and beyond with their Lancôme Lash Idôle Lifting & Volumizing Mascara in December 2020, you’ll be stoked about this month’s birthday gift.
As a matter of fact, January birthday celebrants get not one but two birthday gifts. The January 2021 Ulta Beauty birthday gifts are the Lancôme Advanced Génifique Sheet Mask and Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara in travel size.
Although I have not tried this product yet, Lancôme Advanced Génifique Sheet Mask promises noticeable results in just 7 days because it targets the 10 key signs of aging. Now if you ask me, I would say that’s a bold claim but the nearly 5,000 customer reviews seem to back this product.
You be the judge with this January Ulta birthday gift. Looking for a great alternative to the Lancôme Advanced Génifique Sheet Mask? You might love these two options:
- Dr. Andrew Weil For Origins Mega-Mushroom Relief & Resilience Advanced Face Serum
- Clarins Double Serum Complete Age Control Concentrate
- Clarins' innovative dual technology successfully combines 21 potent anti-aging plant extracts
- Uses a hydrolipidic and biomimetic double formula to optimize the performance of the skin's five vital functions: hydration,...

February 2021 Ulta Birthday Gift
I don’t know about you but I’m super excited about this Ulta February 2021 birthday gift. If my memory serves me right, it has been a hot minute (if at all) that Ulta included a Dermologica product as a birthday freebie.
February birthday celebrants can enjoy this Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant, a retail value of $14. Add this goodie to your shopping and apply your exclusive Ulta birthday gift coupon code to get this for free.
Or stop at any Ulta store to claim your gift. I recommend calling in advance to ensure your local Ulta has this birthday freebie as not all Ulta stores get their birthday supply before the start of the month.
With a near 5-star review, it’s no surprise that some people believe that the Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant is the “best microfoliant on the market.” This holy grail product is serves as a cleanser and microdermabrasion. Just add a small amount to wet hands to create a creamy paste before application.
Need a great alternative to the Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant? You’ll love these similar products:
- Image Skincare Iluma Intense Brightening Exfoliating Powder
- Josie Maran Argan Exfoliating Cleansing Powder
- It quickly penetrates into the skin for a non-greasy feeling
- Gently cleanses and exfoliates all skin types

March 2021 Ulta Birthday Gift

Although not all March birthday celebrants have received their birthday coupons, it’s promising to know that this best-selling facial spray is indeed the goodie for the month of March. Just like February, you can choose between this month’s rotating gift or go with the tried-and-true Lancôme Hydrogel Melting Sheet Mask.
So what’s the big deal about Mario Badescu Facial Spray? Glad you asked!
If you’re in dire need of an early morning pick-me-up, this most-wanted facial mist will get you the glow you need in no time. Aloe, herbs, and rosewater were purposefully added to this mist, not just for a nice smell but to give you a hydrating boost.
And that’s not all, it’s oil-free, vegan, paraben-free, gluten-free, and sulfate-free. What more can we ask for from this little slice of heaven?
