The Absolute Best FREE Ulta Birthday Gift 2021: Complete Year of Gifts [By Month]

I don’t know about you but I’m excited for 2021 and what Ulta has to offer for birthday gifts. And let me tell you, Ulta is not playing games this year. Discover a roundup of the best free Ulta birthday gift in 2021. Ulta seriously has some goodies up their sleeves for those of us looking forward to the free UIta birthday gifts.

We all feel even more special when we get birthday gifts from friends, colleagues, and family. But free gifts do have their perks. And with Ulta, there are no strings attached.

Introduction

The November 2021 Ulta Beauty birthday gifts are this Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Hair Mask or the Clinique Quickliner for Eyes Intense in Intense Ebony (SKU 2582829). Here’s a snapshot of the 2021 list of Ulta birthday gifts:

And if your birthday comes later in the year, you’re probably standing on pins and needles silently praying that this year’s Ulta birthday gift will, of course, be better than last year’s freebies.

Like 2020, these 2021 birthday freebies are available to all Ultamate Rewards members in all three tiers: Member ($0-$500 annual spend), Platinum ($500 annual spend), and Diamond ($1,200 annual spend). Join here it’s free!

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.

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:

This Ulta Birthday Gift 2021 is available to all Ultamate Rewards Members, Platinum, and Diamond members.

February 2021 Ulta Birthday Gift

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.

This February Ulta birthday gift is available to all Ultamate Rewards Members, Platinum, and Diamond members.

March 2021 Ulta Birthday Gift

It’s out! Ulta’s March birthday gift is this Mario Badescu Facial Spray (retails value of $10) and Lancôme Hydrogel Melting Rejuvenating Sheet Mask. There were high anticipations waiting for this birthday gift to drop.

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?

March birthday freebie is available to all Ultamate Rewards Members, Platinum, and Diamond members.

2020 vs 2021 Ulta Beauty Birthday Freebies

Want to see how well this year’s birthday gifts stack up against the 2020 goodies? Watch this space! ;)

Be sure to bookmark this page to see every month Ultamate Rewards birthday gifts as they are released. Check out the 2021 Sephora birthday gifts for all the free goodies from Sephora this year. Find it here.

How to Become an Ultamate Rewards Member

Anyone can signup to become an Ultamate Member. It is free to join and only requires s few personal information and your birthday. To get the Platinum tier status, you’ll have to spend $500 in a calendar year (January 1st – December 31st).

And to become a Diamond member, you’ll have to spend $1,200 in a calendar year. That’s a huge chunk of money if we’re keeping it real. But a girl has needs.

If you shop almost exclusively at Ulta Beauty, getting to the Platinum status might be a walk in the park for a makeup fanatic or professional makeup artist.

Not an Ultamate member yet? Scoop the benefits of the 2021 Ulta Beauty Ultamate Rewards tiers below and join for free here.

It is also worth noting that all tier status accrue points per dollar spent at Ulta, you get a free birthday gift, and get 2x points in your birthday month. Platinum and Diamond members also get an Ulta $10 birthday coupon to spend during their birthday.

The main difference between the Ulta and Sephora freebies is that your Ulta Beauty goodie must be claimed in-store (you can now claim certain Ulta birthday gifts online!). Sephora freebies can be claimed online with a purchase.
