Let's keep this thread on topic!

Ulta points refresher (because yes, it is that complicated):

Spoiler

Item #1 - $53.50

Item #3 - $108.50 (and is eligible for a certain item/brand 5x multiplier)

* There is also a 5x all purchase multiplier and you are platinum so you get 1.25x

Total Spent - $162

Base Points Earned - 162

Platinum .25x Earned - 41 (162 * .25 = 40.5, and rounding up)

5x All Purchases Earned - 648 (it ends up being 4x because you don't count the base points)

5x Item/Brand Earned - 434

Total Points Earned - 1285

Please add product id numbers and sku numbers so people can find items on ulta.  

Just to clarify, there is an item number that Ulta lists on the website, right under the picture of the item.

The product id is the number given to the item in the URL.  So Ulta's site follows this formula of having the url and then the very last part of the url is "productId=xlsImpprod" followed by an 8 digit number.  If you use that "productId" number you can get to the page of any item on ulta. 

It's not a search, but the direct url to the page. 

Click on any product, and then view the url in the address bar.  It will look like this: ulta's website (not using the actual domain because BT admins don't like that) /prep-prime-fix?productId=xlsImpprod15921204  Replace the 8 digit product id of the item you want to see with the id of the product you're looking for.

My very unofficial Ulta point multiplier to approximate percent discount chart:

(This is a number where I use the multiplier to divide by 2000 to see how many dollars I would have to spend in order to redeem a $125 reward.  E.g. 2000 points divided by 1 point multiplier means I have to spend $2000 to get the $125 reward.  Adding how much I had to spend ($2000) + the reward ($125), and then using the reward ($125) to divide the total purchase ($2125), I get a discount of approximately 6% based on the total purchase.  Note: the total purchase is based on the concept that you are spending just enough to reach the next $125 reward and combines the reward value with how much money you had to spend to get that reward.

@CaityLaine aw sorry it arrived broken. I think you may have luck exchanging in store since I'm pretty sure this beauty steal was online only for the butter london eye gloss, so in person stores should have it in stock. but I'd call to make sure they carry it or have it in stock since sometimes Ulta locations vary with what they carry. 

[makeupobesessed]

For the first time in a while, I am super uninspired by the 21 days offers.  I fell like either Im not interested in it, or I already have it from previous 21 days.  

The only thing I may consider is the Smashbox primer water,, IT brushes and I really wanted the UD blushes as I missed them last time- my car had issues- but this time they are a platinum perk online only, and I am a broken record stating that they locked me out of my online ordering.  By the time I get off work, they will be no more brushes left, this I am sure of.  

[lylysa]

Same here. I did the Derma Doctor peels last time, they're okay, but I prefer the DDG. For sure the Primer Water is a deal I'm taking advantage of, I always buy the big bottle and refill the 1 oz size to keep in my purse. I've been considering the It Cosmetics powder to replace my PUR powder since I like to carry a SPF powder with me to use as work wraps up and them I'm faced with being in traffic while it's sunny out. I like that the It Cosmetics compact has a separate compartment for the sponge/puff. I miss when PUR had their compacts like that, as of late I've got one random rectangular mini puff I've managed to sandwich into the current design of the PUR compact to where I can get it to shut, but it does flatten the puff down considerably.

[JenniferOhJenny]

Me three. I did order one of the Butter London eye shadows from the other day (I already have one and I really like it), and nothing else interested me. Except the idea to keep an SPF powder in my purse is really good, so I think I'll check out that powder. And @lylysa I think you've talked about liking the primer water before? So maybe I'll give that a try finally. 🙂

[lylysa]

The PUR powder is pretty nice, JenniferOhJenny! I just wish it had a separate compartment. I've repurchased the compact so much that the one sponge I've found that can still manage the compact closing is falling apart so I don't think I can continue to push my luck in re-using it. Plus with it being used and placed direct on the compact causes some oil transfer which causes parts of the powder to harden. I try to wash the sponge at least every 3-4 days to prevent this, but it's inevitable. 

I'm going to give the It compact a try this time. It's formula/ingredient list sounds pretty good too.

For sure I've mentioned the Primer Water before (be it as a recommendation or just me mentioning my personal use of it)! It's so refreshing!

[JenniferOhJenny]

Thanks! Hopefully your sponge problems will be solved with the It compact! I think I'll check it out in the store first to make sure it's not too foundation-y, if that makes sense :). 

[lylysa]

You're welcome! 

I missed it when PUR had their compacts with the storage piece at the bottom:

I think they changed it to push their chisel foundation brush more, before folks would be like "Nah, I'll just stick with the sponge it comes it", but now with no sponge, folks are more apt to buy the corresponding brush.

Definitely test out the PUR and It powders when you're in store! The PUR compact is also on the 21 Days deals, so if you end up liking the feel of that over the It formula then you can pick that up for a good price too.

[JenniferOhJenny]

Ohhhh, I see. That *is* much nicer - and more convenient than having to carry a brush in your purse.

[lylysa]

Yeah....the new compact is much more sleek looking:

Here's the old one:

The new compact is quite sturdy though, I once dropped it while taking it out of my purse and by some freak chance it popped open and landed powder down and all I could think of was "NOOOO, the powder is surely smashed into bits and I'll have a mess to clean!!!" but nope, turned it over, no cracks or damage to the powder what so ever! 😛 Lucky me.

The IT compact seems similar to the old PUR packaging:

[JenniferOhJenny]

That's impressive, and lucky - what a huge mess that could have been!

Got my order super fast for the MADEYEWLOOK GWP. The Eva dry shampoo smells like the Amika dry shampoo to me. Haven't tested it so I can't speak to the efficacy. I really like the variety.

Big time FAIL for the Algenist GWP with any purchase. The image was a deluxe sample...what arrived was a foil/pod. Thumbs down!

[Madeline7]

@petitesweetmom did you ever hear from Ulta CS about the algenist gwp?  I got the same foil pack...lame 😞

[wickedlollipop]

@Madeline7 @petitesweetmom @ZombieMetroAnt I noticed just now online Ulta changed the photo image for the Algenist GWP item. my order arrives today. this is annoying, and really was a switcharoo - not cool (might do a return)! you can see my screenshot from 6 days ago in my other post but this is what is online now:
