Lincoln shoppers can claim store birthday gifts and enter a beauty bundle drawing without purchase if they meet age and date limits.
The top no-purchase-necessary beauty giveaways for Lincoln residents are the Sephora and Ulta birthday benefits and the PEOPLE Beauty Awards Bundle drawing. Two provide a set gift during your birthday month, and one offers a chance to win a bundle. No purchase necessary means you can enter or redeem without buying.
Free means you pay nothing at all, including shipping or fees, which is not always the case online.

What is available to Lincoln residents?
Sephora Beauty Insider members can redeem one birthday gift per year during their birthday month with no purchase necessary in stores. Ulta Beauty Rewards members with a birthday in their profile can receive one birthday gift per calendar year during their birthday month plus extra points. The PEOPLE drawing offers a chance to win, not a set benefit for everyone.
Membership for the store programs is free, and the drawing is open to eligible U.S. residents 18 and older. Location and age limits apply, and online redemption can add shipping or minimum-order conditions.
How does Sephora birthday redemption work?
According to Sephora, members can redeem one birthday gift per year during their birthday month with no purchase necessary in Sephora or Sephora at Kohl's stores, while sephora.com requires a $25 merchandise purchase Sephora Beauty Insider Terms. Membership is free through a store, Sephora.com, or the app. That makes the store route the no-purchase path for Lincoln members.
Check your birthday in your profile before your birthday month, then ask in store during that month.
How does Ulta birthday redemption work?
According to Ulta Beauty, Rewards members with a birthday in their profile receive one free birthday gift per calendar year during their birthday month plus 2X points, redeemable at Ulta stores or Ulta.com excluding Ulta at Target, Target.com, and DoorDash Ulta Rewards Terms. Online redemption also requires a merchandise subtotal above $0 with a non-marketplace item plus shipping. For a no-extra-cost pickup, redeem in an Ulta store during your birthday month.
Add your birthday to your profile in advance, since the benefit is tied to that date.
What is the PEOPLE bundle chance?
According to People Inc., the Beauty Awards Bundle giveaway runs from 9/16/2026 at 11 a.m. ET to 10/16/2026 at 11:59 p.m. ET, with no purchase necessary and 10 winners receiving 11-product bundles worth over $500 PEOPLE giveaway rules.
It is open to residents of the 50 U.S. states and D.C. who are 18 or older.
This is a drawing with fixed start and end times, not a store benefit you can claim. Enter before the closing time on October 16, and keep a copy of your entry confirmation.
How do you enter safely in Nebraska?
Nebraska companies cannot require a purchase to enter a sweepstakes, and Lincoln police and the state attorney general advise consumers to verify sponsors because phony sweepstakes are a common fraud, as reported by the Daily Nebraskan Daily Nebraskan report on Lincoln warnings. Use the sponsor page or written rules to confirm dates, eligibility, and redemption steps.
- Enter only through the sponsor page or store listed in the rules.
- Never pay to enter, improve odds, or release a prize.
- Do not share payment details to collect a gift or win.
- Save rules, dates, and receipts until you receive the item.
