Sephora 2014 birthday gift

[Ciel]

Sephora's Twitter account (Dec. 26 conversation) indicated that the freebie this year will change from last year's Benefit item (I recall option of mini lip gloss too last year). Must be a subscriber to Beauty Insider loyalty card well before your birthday as freebie notice will arrive by e-mail within 2 weeks of birthday.

Thanks for posting! Their website says the gift will be "Make Up For Ever" Rouge Artist Natural Lipstick and Smokey Extravagant Mascara. Looks really pretty...too bad I have to wait until April haha

Ooh, you KNOW already! Thanks for sharing the news.

This is a nice reminder for everyone, thank you! I got an email about it today(ish) -- I have never taken advantage of this excellent annual offer before as I have disallowed myself the mere entrance into a Sephora store with any manner of money at my disposal because that money, in only a matter of moments, will be splayed across their counters as I bliss-weep into my tiny bag of tinier pots and exorbitantly-priced brushes and am asked brusquely to perhaps not return next year ...

This February, for that nice little set they've got going ... I'm gonna brave it!

I absolutely loved the birthday gift from last year, I would never think of using a highlighter on my face but I learned some really cool techniques to elongate my nose and the benefits mascara was such a great sample, I actually bought the full sized product. They are definitely worth it and they're free.

I'm pretty excited to try this year's birthday freebie!

Do they have an option for men? I think they did last year?

[freebienewbie]

for this you have to redeem in store?

[kunal]

thanks for this info.

To collect your birthday gift, you need to present your Beauty Insider member card and the e-mail printout of the gift offer to the store staff at cash. That is how Sephora tracks who redeems their offers.

As for gift options for men, you should inquire. I have not seen a men's beauty gift equivalent. Think it's worth asking about on social media or through Sephora website! After all, Sephora does carry items for men-maybe they have a sample/travel size of an item.

I read this online:

"Sephora is offering its male Beauty Insiders a reason to celebrate with an exclusive gift from JACK BLACK. The deluxe-sized sample of JACK BLACK Performance Remedy™ Turbo Wash™ Energizing Cleanser for Hair & Body contains rosemary, eucalyptus and juniper berry for a refreshing sensory boost any time of day."

Thanks for settling that matter, me@t k@tie!

I know this isn't exactly about this thread, but does anyone know if there's a thread or forum where all of the birthday freebies are posted? I did a search, but all that came up was a thread that hadn't been contributed to in over a year. I've got another beauty birthday freebie that I wanted to share with everyone.

No, there is not a current thread for birthday freebies. The one you found is likely the last one posted trying to provide updated freebie offers for birthdays. The original one was about 3 years old (relative to my joining SC about that long ago).
