Claim Ulta, Sephora and Aveda birthday gifts in Anchorage plus enter the PEOPLE bundle before Oct. 16.
Anchorage shoppers have four beauty giveaways available in October 2026. Three are birthday gifts from Ulta Beauty, Sephora and Aveda redeemable locally, and one is a PEOPLE sweepstakes for an 11-product bundle. Birthday gifts here mean small no-cost items tied to store loyalty accounts, not prizes.
Each requires signup before your birthday month and pickup during that month. The PEOPLE entry is separate and closes Oct. 16, 2026.

What birthday benefits apply in Anchorage?
According to Ulta Beauty, Rewards members receive a birthday gift plus 2X points on qualifying in-store and online purchases during their birthday month, while supplies last, as described in Ulta Rewards terms. Anchorage members can use the benefit at 1200 N Muldoon Rd, Ste E-1, and at the Dimond Center location. According to Sephora, Beauty Insider members may redeem one birthday gift set per year during their birthday month, as described in Beauty Insider terms.
Anchorage redemption is available at Sephora at Kohl's Anchorage NE, 1200 N Muldoon Rd Ste D, with no purchase required in store and a $25 minimum online.
What about Aveda and the national bundle?
According to Aveda, Aveda Plus Rewards members receive a birthday gift plus double points during their birthday month and earn 10 points per $1 on product purchases online, in stores and at participating salons, as described in Aveda rewards program. The birthday gift is a set benefit for members, not a drawing. According to PEOPLE, the 2026 Beauty Awards giveaway will award ten winners an 11-product bundle including Rare Beauty bronzers, La Roche-Posay, Dove, Maybelline New York and e.l.f.
HAIR, as described in PEOPLE Beauty Awards giveaway. Entry is by the PEOPLE app only by Oct. 16, 2026, for registered U.S.
users, so it is a chance to win rather than a no-cost pickup.
What must you set up before your birthday month?
All three loyalty gifts require advance membership with birthdate on file and birthday-month-only redemption. Availability is limited, so late enrollment can mean missing the current year. Anchorage shoppers should enroll early and check the account profile.
For Ulta, the birthday must be in the member profile before the birthday month starts. In-store pickup uses the email or app coupon with no purchase, while online redemption requires a qualifying non-Marketplace purchase plus shipping. Keep the coupon accessible before visiting Muldoon or Dimond stores.
How do you redeem in town or online?
In-store pickup is the simplest path for October birthdays. Bring the account coupon or app, ask for the birthday gift, and confirm supply before month-end. Online orders need extra time for the minimum purchase and shipping.
Sephora at Kohl's locations offer 135-plus makeup, skincare, hair and fragrance brands with in-store Beauty Advisors. That makes an in-person visit useful if you want shade or scent help.
- Confirm birthdate is saved before the birthday month begins
- Claim in store during the birthday month, before the last day
- For online orders, meet the purchase minimum and shipping rule
Which option fits your timing?
If your birthday is in October, start with the loyalty gifts that expire at month-end. October birthdays in Anchorage can still claim local store pickup in the next few days. If your birthday is later, enroll now so the birthdate is recorded in time.
If you have no October birthday, the PEOPLE app entry is the current time-sensitive option. It closes Oct. 16, 2026, and does not depend on a birthday month.
