The new year is just around the corner, and 2021 is looking better than 2020 already for many reasons. One, a vaccine was finally approved in the U.S. And two, Sephora has big plans for its Beauty Insider program birthday gift offerings.  

If you're a Sephora member (Insider, Rouge, or VIB), you probably already know that when your birthday month comes around, you get a free gift from the beloved beauty retailer. In the past, Rouge and VIB members received four options to choose from: three fixed choices and an online-only rotating gift that changes month to month. Insiders, on the other hand, were only given three choices. However, for the first time ever, all members — that includes Insiders, too — will have the four options available to add to their cart.

For 2021, Sephora just announced what you'll be able to snag during your birthday month. Keep in mind these selections can be made either online or in-store for zero dollars because you deserve a free gift for your special day. Here are the free miniature sets Sephora's birthday program will offer in 2021.

Laneige

This Laneige option includes a few past Best of Beauty winners like the Water Sleeping Mask, an overnight treatment to deeply moisturize skin while your heads on the pillow, and a Lip Sleeping Mask, a leave-on lip mask that makes lips appear plumper and feel as soft as butter. You'll also get a Water Bank Moisture Cream, which has hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid in its formula to strengthen the skin.

Nars

This Nars glow-inducing set is so good you'll think you're stealing it by getting it for free. It holds a tiny Laguna Bronzer, which is flecked with yellow-gold to give skin an all-over bronzey effect. You can pair it with the mini Laguna Lip Balm, which has a hydrating blend of antioxidants and a universally flattering gilded hue.

Moroccanoil

In this bundle is a travel-sized Protect & Prevent Cream, which is made with argan oil to seal split ends and nurture damage. You'll also find a tiny bottle of the Moroccanoil Treatment, which increases shine and prevents frizz. and a Night Body Serum for slathering on before bed, so you'll wake up with smoother, softer skin.

Kerastase

The first of many online rotating gifts for 2021 is this mini Keratase set for all the hair-care lovers out there, especially the ones who are planning to travel (fingers crossed) in the new year. It features a tiny Nutritive Shampoo and Conditioner to condition the hair from root to end giving it a super-sleek and shiny finish. These two are the perfect sizes to replace those hotel-branded formulas you used to steal from resorts back when traveling was a thing.

There you have it, folks. Mark your calendars for the first of your birthday month because you're not going to want to miss the chance to snag one of these freebies. And don't forget to log on to your sephora.com account on your birth month to see what the rotating gift is.
