Happy Birthday!

'Twas the night before my birthday and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a ...wait, what was that?!?

I got an email 2 weeks ago from Ulta wishing me a Happy Birthday and I was pretty excited to see that they were giving me a FULL sized CK One mascara (no purchase necessary- valued at $18). My girlfriend Kristen and I made a trip to Charlottesville so I could get my mascara and of course I ended up spending a ton of money! The mascara though is AMAZING. The wand turns so the comb expands and contracts! That honestly could amuse me for about an hour. No clumping, full lashes, no stickyness...I give it a 10/10.


This got me to thinking...

How many of you know where to sign up to get the free stuff for you birthday?!? I thought I might try to lend a hand and give you the scoop!




Birthday present: CK One full size mascara

How to get it: Create an online account or go in store to sign up to become an ULTA member. It's free and you can gain points on all purchases you can redeem for more fun stuff throughout the year. 





Birthday present: Free mini Make Up For Ever's best selling Rouge Artist natural lipstick and Smoke Extravagant mascara.

How to get it: Sign up in stores or online. Here's the catch... You have to BUY something to retrieve your gift. The upside to that though is if you buy something, you also get your gift and then you pick which other samples you would like to receive. Last year, I got the tanning lotion I reviewed, plus the birthday gift, plus FIVE samples...all for $5.00.



Birthday present: A complimentary Personal Blends, Pure-Fume Spirit or body care product valued at $25

How to get it: Sign up online or in stores! You receive a voucher within 28 days of your birthday that you can bring into the store to redeem. No purchases are necessary and if you get 5 friends to sign up for the birthday program you can get a coupon for a travel sized body lotion. P.S, sign up through my facebook link so I can get one and review it for you guys!



Birthday present: Based on availability and changes frequently. I just signed up so I am not sure what the current offer is. Who cares? Smashbox...hello!?!?

How to get it: Sign up online. You also receive offers each Tuesday and Thursday on other special items!




Birthday present: The website doesn't specify WHAT it is, but it's a $10 value.

How to get it: You have to become a member and pay their $10 fee. (Boo) You do get special rewards and invitations though. (Yay)



In my opinion- your best bet is Ulta. They are the only company that is giving away a FULL size product for free. (Certainly you can sign up at ALL places...like I did!)

So, it's officially my birthday now (took me awhile to finish this!) What other free things can I look for today (food, drinks, etc?) 

Cheers!
