Sephora’s annual free birthday gifts are a collection of five high-end products that fulfill the birthday wishes of any beauty lover. The gift has been part of its Beauty Insider loyalty program since the program launched in 2007.
Tower 28 Everyday Must Duo
Tower 28 offers two new products: a half-sized SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray and the travel sized ShineOn Lip Jelly in Pistachio.
The facial spray is a clinically proven and derm-approved hypochlorous acid spray, calming irritation, reducing bacteria and supporting the skin’s natural process. According to Sephora, it “keeps post-gym breakouts at bay, reduces redness and soothes stressed skin.”
Tower 28 described the ShineOn Lip Jelly as “the shine of a gloss, the comfort of a balm + a touch of color.” The shade Sephora offers in the birthday gift collection is Pistachio, a “semi-sheer, milky nude pink.”
Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Skin Spa Trio
This trending trio from Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare includes a sample-sized version of the DermInfusions ™ Blur + Repair Cream, DermInfusions™ Fill + Repair Serum Packette and a three-pack of Alpha Beta® Universal Daily Peel.
The Blur + Repair Cream is advertised as a lightweight, ultra-hydrating cream that “blurs” fine lines, firms skin and reduces redness.
The Fill + Repair Serum Packette is packed with hyaluronic acid, which hydrates the skin by holding moisture, helping it look plumper and smoother.
The daily peel is a two-step chemical exfoliant to remove dead skin. The peel pad is pre-dosed with five acids and 12 antioxidants, intended to shrink pores and reduce the look of fine lines.
Dae Hair Styling Heroes
Dae is featuring both old and new items this year for the 2026 Sephora birthday gifts, including their travel size Sunsetter Hairspray and their travel size Cactus Fruit 3-in-1 Styling Cream.
Dae came out with their Sunsetter Hairspray this past summer, containing their signature Desert Botanical Blend with dragon fruit, prickly pear seed oil and meadowfoam seed oil. It rehydrates hair after styling and leaves a light hold with a touch of shine. This hairspray is specifically designed to combat frizz, boost volume and block humidity.
Alongside the hairspray, The 3-in-1 Styling Cream is a Sephora best seller. The Cactus Fruit Cream slicks back your hair and tames flyaways, and can be used before blowouts to ensure a frizz-free and shiny look. The product can also be used as a light and defining curl cream. The styling cream contains dragon fruit and prickly pear seed oil, which has antioxidants to lock in moisture. This multi-purpose product is for all hair types and textures.
Glossier Celebrate You Set
Glossier is introducing four iconic items for this year’s Sephora birthday gifts. The Glossier Celebrate You Set contains a travel-size Glossier Cloud Paint Blush in Puff, a sample size of the Glossier You Fragrance, a sample size of the Glossier You Doux Fragrance and sample size of the Glossier You Fleur Fragrance.
The Glossier Cloud Paint Blush is a buildable, light-weight, gel-cream blush that brings a cool-toned pastel pink flush to your cheeks. The blush is also non-comedogenic and contains soluble collagen.
Accompanying the blush are three 1.5 milliliter fragrances, including the signature Glossier You. The scent is warm and spicy with top notes of pink pepper, iris and ambrox, making it a soft scent. The Sephora fragrance description states that, “all versions of Glossier You perfume are skin-scent enhancers, meaning they smell a little bit differently on everyone. With musky, warm ambrox and ambrette base notes that wear close to the skin, they let you leave your unique impression.”
The two other scents, Glossier You Doux and Glossier You Fleur, are both soft skin scents that are layerable and genderless. Glossier Doux has top notes of sweet violet, palo salto and ambros, making it warm and woody. Glossier Fleur is a mix of fresh florals and citrus fruit, as its key notes are ylang-ylang, apricot skin and ambrox. All scents carry the same base note of ambrox, so you can mix-and-match the different scents to customize.
VIB, Jo Malone London Scent Layering Starter Set
This Very Important Beauty Insider (VIB) and online exclusive Jo Malone London set contains a travel-size Jo Malone London Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne and the sample-size of the Jo Malone London English Pear & Sweet Pea Cologne.
The Wood Sage and Sea Salt Cologne is a fresh, mineral and woody scent, with key notes including amarette seeds, sea salt and sage. The scent is light and earthy, like a quiet coastal trail. The miniature glass roll-on bottle gives a luxurious touch, an everyday perfume to keep in on hand
The London English Pear and Sweet Pea Cologne is bright and floral without being overpowering. The top notes are pear, sweet pea and white musk. The cologne is definitely a springtime scent, leaving the remnants of a flourishing flower garden across the skin. Both scents can be mixed with other fragrances and are genderless.
