Ulta refreshed its birthday gift lineup for July, August, and September, replacing every gift from Quarter 2 with an all-new selection of viral beauty favorites from brands like OLE HENRIKSEN, Moroccanoil, Rare Beauty, and more. If your birthday falls during the third quarter of 2026, these are the birthday gifts currently available to choose from!

 

NARS Ulta Birthday Gift (Online Only)

NARS – Insatiable Liquid Blush in Orgasm Fantasy Deluxe Sample (0.17 oz / 5 mL) — ~$21 value. This lightweight liquid blush delivers highly pigmented, buildable color with a second-skin finish and up to 16 hours of wear and hydration. Orgasm Fantasy is a peachy pink shade, and at 5 mL, this deluxe sample is more than half the size of the full-size blush. This gift is online only. Grab your gift here!

 

Ole Henriksen Ulta Birthday Gift

Ole Henriksen – Pout Preserve Hydrating Peptide Lip Treatment in Citrus Travel Size (0.25 oz / 7 mL) — ~$15 value. This peptide lip treatment is designed to deeply hydrate, visibly plump, and smooth dry lips while strengthening the skin barrier. Citrus is basically the brand’s original clear shade, and it’s one of my absolute favorite lip products because it conditions lips without ever feeling sticky. Grab your gift here!

 

Moroccanoil Ulta Birthday Gift

Moroccanoil Treatment Hair Oil Deluxe Sample (0.5 oz / 15 mL) — ~$7 value. Infused with argan oil, this multitasking hair treatment helps smooth frizz, detangle, speed up drying time, and add shine while protecting against heat. I think it’s one of the most universal gifts in this lineup because it works beautifully across so many hair types. My 4C hair loves this stuff! Grab your gift here!

 

Isima Ulta Birthday Gift

Isima – Súperbomba Triple Repair Peptide Hair Mask Deluxe Sample (1 oz / 30 mL) — ~$5 value. Shakira’s new peptide-powered hair mask is designed to repair damage, strengthen strands, and nourish every hair texture and type. I haven’t tried it yet, but a repair mask is always practical and could even be a great treatment for wigs and extensions. The do-my-hair-at-home babes know! Grab your gift here!

 

Hero Cosmetics Ulta Birthday Gift

Hero Cosmetics – Mighty Patch Duo Original & Invisible Travel Size (12 patches) — ~$7 value. This set includes six Original hydrocolloid patches for overnight blemishes and six Invisible patches that blend in more seamlessly during the day. I’ve used these and genuinely love them! They’re one of my favorite acne patch options for protecting pimples while they heal. Grab your gift here!

 

Rare Beauty Ulta Birthday Gift

Rare Beauty – Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in Hope Deluxe Sample (Dewy Finish) (estimated 0.05 oz / 1.43 mL) — ~$5 value. Rare Beauty’s OG viral liquid blush delivers highly pigmented color that blends effortlessly and lasts for hours. Hope is a nude mauve in the dewy finish, and while it runs light on deeper skin tones, I think it blends out beautifully for a soft, natural flush. Grab your gift here!

 

Tarte Ulta Birthday Gift

Tarte Maneater Volumizing Mascara Travel Size (0.16 oz / 5 mL) — ~$15 value. This volumizing mascara is designed to lengthen, lift, and curl lashes with a long-wearing formula that resists flaking and clumping. It’s a product we’ve seen in Ulta beauty gifts before, but I still think it’s a great travel mascara that performs well…even on my short, sparse lashes. Grab your gift here!

 

Smashbox Ulta Birthday Gift

Smashbox – The Original Photo Finish Smooth & Blur Primer Deluxe Sample (0.17 oz / 5 mL) — ~$6 value. This silicone-based primer smooths the look of texture and fine lines while helping makeup glide on more evenly and last longer. It’s an OG for a reason, and I still think it’s a great option for anyone who loves a long wearing blurred makeup look. Grab your gift here!

 

Quarter 2 – Ulta Beauty Birthday Gifts 2026

Ulta refreshed its birthday gift lineup for April, May, and June, replacing every gift from Quarter 1 with an all-new selection of skincare, haircare, and beauty products. Since Ulta rotates birthday gifts throughout the year, these were the options available before the latest update.

Take a look at the previous birthday gift lineup below.

Dermalogica Ulta Birthday Gift

 

Dermalogica Dynamic Skin Recovery SPF 50 Deluxe Sample (0.24 oz / 7 mL) — $12 value.  A lightweight moisturizer with SPF 50 that protects without feeling heavy. The texture is thin with no white cast, making it a great option for melanin-rich skin.

 

Tatcha Ulta Birthday Gift

Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream Deluxe Sample (0.17 oz / 5 mL) — $7 value. A rich moisturizer that gives skin a soft, glowing finish. It’s a small sample, but a little goes a long way if you’re just testing the formula.

 

Elizabeth Arden Ulta Birthday Gift

Elizabeth Arden Retinol + HPR Ceramide Capsules Deluxe Sample (7 count) — $12 value. These single-use capsules combine retinol and ceramides to smooth and support the skin barrier. The pre-measured format makes them easy to use, especially if you’re new to retinol.

 

Maelys Ulta Birthday Gift

Maelys B-TIGHT Lift & Firm Booty Mask Deluxe Sample (estimated 0.5 oz / 15 mL) — $8 value.  A targeted body care treatment designed to firm and smooth the skin. It’s a more niche option, but interesting if you’re into sculpting-focused products.

 

Verb Ulta Birthday Gift

Verb Ghost Oil Deluxe Sample (0.54 oz / 16 mL) — $5 value. This lightweight hair oil smooths frizz and adds shine without weighing hair down. It also works well as a finishing oil for type 4 hair, especially for adding shine without buildup.

 

Polite Society Ulta Birthday Gift

Polite Pout Glossy Lip Balm in Birthday Frosting Travel Size (0.16 oz / 5 g) — $7 value. Back again from Q1, this glossy lip balm makes another appearance in the birthday lineup. This Ulta birthday exclusive shade is described as a shimmering golden pink, giving lips a soft wash of color with a glossy finish.

 

Quarter 1 – Ulta Beauty Birthday Gifts 2026

Ulta kicked off 2026 with a lineup of birthday gifts for January, February and March, featuring a mix of familiar favorites and a few new additions. Since Ulta rotates gifts throughout the year, these were the options available before the latest update.

Take a look at the previous birthday gift lineup below.

Fresh Beauty Ulta Birthday Gift

Fresh Soy Face Cleanser Deluxe Sample (0.5 fl oz / 15 mL) — $4 value.  A longtime cult favorite and a familiar Ulta freebie.  If you’re already a beauty regular, there’s a good chance you’ve tried this cleanser before through a gift with purchase.  It’s gentle, reliable, and a safe pick for most skin types.

 

Kopari Ulta Birthday Gift

Kopari Pink Guava Hair & Body Mist Deluxe Sample (1 fl oz / 30 mL) — $10 value.  A fun, sweet fragrance option that works for a wide range of preferences. The scent is light and tropical, though it doesn’t last very long on the skin IMO.  Still, it’s a playful choice and an easy, low-commitment way to try the brand.

 

Eva NYC Ulta Birthday Gift

Eva NYC Therapy Session Hair Mask Deluxe Sample (3.3 fl oz / 100 mL) — $10 value.  This marks Eva NYC’s first appearance on the Ulta birthday gift list (from what I can remember). While I haven’t personally tried this mask, the brand has several popular hair products, making this a solid option for anyone looking to switch things up.

 

Olaplex Ulta Birthday Gift

Olaplex No.7 Bonding Hair Oil Deluxe Sample (0.25 fl oz / 7.5 mL) — $7.50 value.  She’s back again. This mini version of their No.7 Bonding Oil has appeared as a birthday gift before, but it remains a strong choice if you already know and love the formula. Lightweight, smoothing, and easy to use.

 

Peach & Lily Ulta Birthday Gift

Peach & Lily Ginger Melt Oil Cleanser Deluxe Sample (estimated 0.5 fl oz / 15 mL) — $7 value. Peach & Lily showed up on Ulta’s birthday list last year and for good reason.  This K-beauty oil cleanser is gentle, effective, and great for breaking down makeup without stripping the skin.

 

Lancôme Ulta Birthday Gift

Lancome Lash Idôle Curl Goddess Mascara Deluxe Sample (0.07 oz / 2 mL) — $8 value. This is a new product (launched December 2025) from Lancome! The brand is known for reliable mascara formulas, and this one looks tiny but its still generous enough to get real use out of especially if you’re looking for that “1.5x curl boost and +800% volume” (according to the product description).

 

Milk Makeup Ulta Birthday Gift

Milk Makeup 2-in-1 Cream Blush & Lip Tint in Werk Deluxe Sample (0.1 oz / 3 g) — $12 value.  A popular Milk Makeup staple—but it’s worth noting that on brown and deep skin tones, this shade can read very sheer and subtle. Still, it’s a well-known product and an easy way to test the formula.

 

Polite Society Ulta Birthday Gift (Q1)

Polite Pout Glossy Lip Balm Deluxe Sample (0.16 oz / 5 g) — $7 value: This glossy lip balm is designed to soothe and hydrate dry lips while adding a sheer, juicy wash of color.
