How to Get FREE Stuff on Your Birthday – Birthday Freebies! (Free Makeup, Free Food)

(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 44 Birthday Freebies you can score for your birthday. And I personally tested a bunch 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  I pulled out any outdated Birthday offers that were no longer a true freebie, and I’m updating this post regularly by also adding new freebies to those still available from the video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!

3. Free $10 from The Body Shop

😔 Their shops are closed

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”
  • Check the box “Yes I want to join”

How to Claim The Body Shop Birthday Free Gift:

• The Free $10 Reward will show up under “Vouchers” online. You can login to check if the $10 is there because 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 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 Mini Strength and Length Mascara and Mini Ageless Phyto-Retinol Eye Cream Set that retails for $20.50!

How to Claim BareMinerals Birthday Freebie:

• You need the actual Birthday email from BareMinerals to claim the Freebie.
• Birthday emails containing the Free product coupon is sent out on the 1st of the month
• If you signed up after the 1st, there is currently no way for them to resend the email, even if you contact customer service. (It used to be you can just show your license in-stores, but they have since changed this policy)
