Birthday Month Goodies

Oh how I love August... summer is still going strong, I'm enjoying every minute I can outdoors, and it's my birthday month! Birthday month = my inbox being flooded with lots of birthday coupons and freebies from my favorite stores and restaurants. I wanted to list out some of my birthday month favs for you all, and put some freebies on your radar you may not be aware of.

Tory Burch
If you didn't already know, when you sign up on ToryBurch.com at least 30 days out from your birthday they'll send you a $50 gift card to use on their site or in stores every year during your birthday month. Last year, I picked up this cuff with my gift card, and this year I'm eyeing either a makeup travel bag or some flip flops.

Sephora
My love for Sephora runs deep - aside from their endless amazing products and rewards program I just love walking into their beautiful stores. There's just something more crisp, clean, and elegant about walking into a Sephora than into an Ulta.. am I wrong? The past few years they've been killin' it with the free birthday gift (no purchase necessary) for Beauty Insiders during your birthday month. This year's free gift is a mini NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella and a NARS Mini Satin Lip Pencil in Rikugien. You can read more about the Beauty Insider program and this year's free birthday gift along with a video message from NARS here. Nothing goes better with cake than a bold lip!

Starbucks
During your birthday month, Starbucks treats it's rewards members with a free drink (of any size), and discounts off of food and merchandise. You can sign up for Starbucks' rewards program here and start earning those coveted gold stars!

Victoria's Secret
VS sends out a $10 gift card to use towards your next purchase online or in stores. Great to pair up with those rewards cards that stack up!

Kobe Steakhouse
*My birthday dinner last year at Kobe*
Yummy hibachi for my birthday? Yes please! Kobe offers a free dinner during your birthday month, and I may have to take advantage of it with friends again this year. You can sign up for their rewards program here.

Smashbox
Another great makeup freebie during your birthday month, you can sign up here. This is a new one to me, and I just signed up so I'm looking forward to this year's gift.

What are some of your favorite birthday month freebies from retailers?

    I'm seriously mad that I signed up for Tory Burch last year and didn't get my $50 gift card this year! No bueno! But I love both of those Sephora colors, I wear the lighter pink one all the time and I can't wait for fall to break out that red!

    This information might have been useful to me in MARCH! (You should imagine Adam Sandler shouting that line like in the Wedding Singer, lol.) I just signed up for the Tory Burch account. $50 is a great gift card!
