It's my birthday this week, and my Sephora Birthday Gift came in the mail yesterday! But that got me thinking. Sephora can't be the only beauty store that gives away birthday freebies – so I decided to look around and find out exactly where you can score free makeup and skincare birthday gifts in Canada. Through my search, I found six different stores and brands that offer birthday treats. Some of them are free products, extra samples or coupon codes for discounts off an order. And to help you keep them all straight (and know which ones you want to sign up for), I'm laying out exactly where, when and how you can claim these presents, starting with the most famous one: the Sephora Birthday Gift. 1. Sephora By now, you've probably heard of the Sephora Birthday Gift, and that's for a good reason. Every year, Sephora launches new sets of minis from some of their bestselling brands.

Whether you're a makeup artist or a complete rookie, it pays to sign up for beauty rewards programs. After all, most are completely free to join, and they give you the chance to collect and redeem points, score extra savings and even receive free makeup samples. Each beauty loyalty program is a little bit different, so I thought I'd give you a rundown of the five programs I absolutely love. I tried to mix it up and include ones that will give you rewards for buying skincare, makeup and haircare (as well as general beauty supplies), so after you sign up, you should be covered no matter what you need. There are so many loyalty programs that could have made this list – like PC Optimum, which lets you earn and redeem points when you shop at Beauty Boutique. However, I decided to stick with rewards programs that are exclusive to makeup and skincare brands and stores. 1. Sephora Beauty Insider Earn points for every $1 you spend AND access exclusive sale events Let's start with … [Read more...] about 5 Beauty Loyalty Programs You Need to Join in 2018

With the holiday season only a few months away, you might be starting to think about your Christmas shopping list. And I don't know about you, but every single year, I end up trying to find a gift for someone who's tough to buy for, has no idea what they might want or is genuinely just better at picking out their own presents – and that's where gift cards come in handy. While physical gift cards mean you'll always have something for your friends and family to open, they're not always practical – especially if you're buying a last-minute gift. And in cases, like that, e-gift cards are you best friend. So what is an e-gift card? Well, they work just like a regular gift card, but you can purchase them online and email 'em right to the recipient – which means you don't have to buy any gift wrap or pay to ship any presents. And whenever you can't find the perfect beauty gift set, beauty gift cards are a really safe bet. That's why we put together a quick list of places … [Read more...] about Our Guide to Beauty Gift Cards You Can Buy Online

In anticipation of the holiday season, different beauty brands are already releasing this year's holiday collections and gift sets.
