Let's keep this thread on topic!
Ulta points refresher (because yes, it is that complicated):
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
Links are not allowed. In lieu of links, please read this:
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.

@niki172 Haha & I thought it was bad when I only got one sample- Smashbox! 😄
Last year I messaged Ulta after two orders in a row were missing samples. They ended up sending me samples, which I thought was a nice CS touch ... of course, the samples were Porefessional and Smashbox Primer! 😄 @niki172
I hardly get Porefessional - that would be a nice change up :D. I have a co worker that loves the smashbox primer and travels a lot so she winds up getting all the foils. I know we joke at Christmas time about stringing them all together and wrapping them around a tree as tinsel - if I hadn't been giving mine away I could probably participate in that decoration 🙂
That's so weird. I'm 50/50 on getting my Ulta samples and almost 100% on my Sephora samples (although sometimes they replace them and I don't get what I had originally picked). The Platinum deals from Ulta though make it so hard to complain... can't get nearly as much free stuff from Sephora! 😛
You certainly won't miss that Smashbox primer and (either Hask shampoo or Olay Regenerist). Or the Olympea that is in every single fragrance sampler. lol 😛
Ulta is usually dead on with sending samples...it's pretty rare for me to get an order without them. Sephora meanwhile...every order has a 50/50 shot of arriving with ZERO samples. Grrrrrr.
IKR???? @RGbrown I'll just be very glad if I get the YSL GWP in my next box and keep my mouth shut. What's truly funny is that they sent me that free hair duo from Matrix and the samples (which did not make it) in one box and the rest of my order (which has 4-5 items coming to me) in another. Talk about wasting boxes! They do this a lot it seems - the prior order (8 items total ordered) I had with them they sent all of it except for 1 Tarte eyeshadow which they sent seperately in it's own big box as well.
@niki172 Oh yes, that does remind me of something I've noticed...split orders are most likely to be missing samples. If you look at your shipping notices, the first one will say your samples will be in the second shipment, but the second shipment notice will say they are in the first shipment. And while samples do show up in one of the two boxes probably 75% of the time for me, sometimes they aren't in either box. Crazy stuff.
Split orders typically come from 2 different warehouses, so sometimes it's unavoidable if one warehouse is out of something.
And yesssss, they are crazy with the boxes. I can't believe Ulta doesn't have some smaller padded mailers or even just tiny boxes for shipping out, say, one mini mascara that got split from the rest of the order.
I stepped into Ulta to return something and I saw a Clinique clearance stand. The items on clearance were 50% off. There were a lot of chubby sticks, foundations, blush, brushes, etc.
During checkout, the associate told me about an upcoming Urban Decay event and handed me a slip with more details. I'm not sure if this will be offered at every Ulta, but you could definitely call your local one and ask!
What state is this in? I would love to attend a UD master class!
Today's Beauty Break
-Can be found under "Gift with Purchase"
Shoot missed it! I need to make a order but keep trying to hold out for freebies to go with.
I can't seem to upload pics, grrrrrr. All I get is "an unexpected error has occurred". I had pretty screenshots ready for y'all, but apparently I can't do that.
There are several brand-specific TODAY ONLY gwp's, as follows:
Cargo: 4pc w/$35 Cargo purchase
Smashbox: 5pc w/$50 Smashbox purchase
Julep: 4pc w/$40 Julep purchase

If anyone has a gimme brow code and is not going to use it, please pm me.
Many thanks!
*bleepity bleep bleep* YSL Platinum GWP is already OOS. Low stock on these offers drives me bonkers, and should bother Ulta too...it was just enough to push me over the edge for a purchase or two, but I think I'll pass now. 😞 Though I do still want some Stila...decisions, decisions...
Was coming to post that this is oos. Finally something I really wanted and I can't get it. Really, how hard is it to stock something for one day?
Got the MAC lip palette 50% off! You have to go thru ulta(dot)com/flashsale to get it! Got all of this for $45!!
For those with the Gimme Brow code, I received an email offering the Light color. But once I clicked the link through the email, it brought me to a page where I could choose from the three colors. Good thing, because I needed Deep!
Do you happen to know when it expires?
