Compare one current beauty sweepstakes with two in-store birthday gifts, plus practical checks for safer participation.
For Tampa readers, the strongest verified no-purchase beauty options are not Tampa-exclusive: one nationwide sweepstakes and two in-store birthday rewards. The current choices are Sol de Janeiro's Cheirosa 62 sweepstakes, Ulta Beauty Rewards' birthday gift, and Sephora Beauty Insider's birthday gift. "No purchase necessary" means buying something is not required for the qualifying entry or redemption route.
Eligibility, store location, account status, deadlines, and entry limits still apply.

Sol de Janeiro's current beauty sweepstakes
Sol de Janeiro's quarterly Cheirosa 62 collection sweepstakes offers a $485 beauty prize through September 30, 2026. It is open to U.S. and D.C.
residents age 18 or older, requires no purchase, and includes a postal entry method, according to the Sol de Janeiro rewards page. Each person may receive up to 10 entries during the quarter. One winner is selected randomly, and the odds depend on the total number of eligible entries.
This is a chance to win, not a product that every entrant receives.
Ulta's no-purchase birthday gift
Ulta Beauty Rewards is free to join for U.S. residents age 13 or older. Members with a recorded birthday and a valid email address or app account can receive one birthday gift annually in a regular Ulta store without making a purchase, while supplies last, under the Ulta Beauty Rewards terms.
The redemption channel matters. Pickup, ulta.com, and app redemptions require a merchandise purchase, while Ulta Beauty at Target is excluded. Tampa members seeking the no-purchase option should redeem inside a regular Ulta store.
Sephora's in-store birthday offer
Sephora's 2026 Beauty Insider birthday offer includes choices from Tower 28, Dr. Dennis Gross, Dae, and Glossier. Members can redeem a beauty gift without a purchase at a Sephora store or Sephora at Kohl's, according to Sephora's 2026 birthday-gift announcement.
Online redemption does not qualify as a no-purchase route because it requires a $25 purchase. Members who want only the birthday gift should use an eligible physical store.
Which option fits your situation?
The Sol de Janeiro promotion suits adults willing to enter a random drawing and wait for the result. Tampa residency does not provide special access or better odds; local residents participate under the same nationwide eligibility rules. Ulta and Sephora offer birthday redemptions rather than drawings.
They are more direct benefits for eligible members, but both require the correct account and redemption channel. Before participating:
- Confirm the age, residence, deadline, and account requirements.
- Use the postal method if choosing Sol de Janeiro's no-purchase entry route.
- Visit a regular Ulta store for Ulta's no-purchase birthday gift.
- Visit Sephora or Sephora at Kohl's to avoid Sephora's online purchase requirement.
- Treat entry limits, store exclusions, and "while supplies last" language as firm restrictions.
How to enter and claim safely
Start from the sponsor's own website, rewards terms, or published rules. Check that the promotion name, deadline, prize, eligibility, and no-purchase method match before submitting personal details. Never pay purported taxes, shipping, processing fees, or other charges to claim a prize.
Do not provide bank, card, or Social Security information in response to a prize notice; the Federal Trade Commission identifies such demands as warning signs. If a message conflicts with the sponsor's published terms, stop responding. Return independently to the sponsor's website and use its listed contact channel to check the notice.
