Beauty Giveaways in Winston-Salem, NC: Updated 2026 List for Local Winners

Winston-Salem shoppers have two standing beauty giveaways available right now: free birthday gifts through Sephora's Beauty Insider program and Ulta Beauty's Ultamate Rewards program, both redeemable at Hanes Mall-area locations. A third offer, Belk's "Beauty Bash" gift-card giveaway, named a Winston-Salem store but has already closed. This list covers what's actually open to local residents today, what each program requires, and where to redeem a reward in person without driving out of town.

Verification note: Program terms and availability can change. This page was checked against linked sources on October 26, 2026.

Sephora's Birthday Gift at Hanes Mall

Every tier of Sephora's Beauty Insider loyalty program — Insider, VIB, and Rouge — qualifies for a free birthday gift during the member's birthday month, according to Sephora's 2026 birthday gift announcement. Members can pick up the gift free in-store with no purchase required, or claim it online with a $25 minimum purchase. Winston-Salem has two redemption points.

There's a Sephora inside JCPenney at Hanes Mall, listed on Sephora's official store page, and a second Sephora inside the Kohl's at 1010 Hanes Mall Blvd, per Sephora's Kohl's store listing. Either location accepts the birthday redemption, so residents on either side of the mall have a nearby option. Enrollment in Beauty Insider is free, and the gift choice and exact products rotate by month.

Bring the birthday month's active offer up on the Sephora app or account before heading in-store, since in-store pickup does not require a purchase but does require showing an active membership.

Ulta Beauty's Birthday Reward Near Hanes Mall

Ulta Beauty's Ultamate Rewards program offers enrolled members a free birthday gift plus double points for their entire birthday month, according to Ulta's official rewards page. The reward is available while supplies last, with no substitutions if the listed gift runs out. Two steps matter before the birthday month arrives: members need their birth date on file and must be opted in to marketing communications, per Ulta's rewards terms.

In-store redemption requires a coupon code generated through the account; online redemption requires logging in to apply the offer at checkout. Winston-Salem's Ulta Beauty store sits at 1030 Hanes Mall Blvd, confirmed in a Better Business Bureau business listing that verifies the address against Ulta's own location data. That puts it within the same retail corridor as both Sephora locations, so a birthday-month trip can realistically cover all three stores.

Why the Belk Beauty Bash Giveaway No Longer Applies

Belk ran a "Beauty Bash" gift-card giveaway with a single entry and drawing day on March 21, 2026, open to U.S. residents 18 and older, according to Belk's official rules page. The Hanes Mall Belk store in Winston-Salem was named as one of the participating locations.

That giveaway has already run its full cycle and closed. It's listed here only so readers searching for it know not to look for an active entry period — there is no current Belk sweepstakes tied to that name or date.

How to Claim Either Reward in Winston-Salem

Both Sephora and Ulta tie their birthday gifts to an account, not a walk-in request, so setting up membership before the birthday month matters more than anything else. Gift selections and exact product offerings change monthly and are subject to running out, so confirming the current month's gift on each brand's app before visiting saves a wasted trip.

• Join Sephora's Beauty Insider program online or in-store; any tier qualifies for the birthday gift.
• Join Ulta's Ultamate Rewards and confirm your birth date is saved to the account, since a missing birth date means no birthday-month trigger.
• Check marketing-communication opt-in status with Ulta before your birthday month — the reward won't activate without it.
• For in-store Ulta redemption, generate the coupon code from the app or account first; it's required at checkout.
• For Sephora, redeem free in-store with no purchase, or order online with at least $25 in the cart.
