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.

@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!

[KatieJiang]

@Inochi  This is in California! 🙂

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

Lorac: 4pc w/$40 Lorac purchase

All are on the GWP page; sort by "newest arrivals" to see them at the top of the list.

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...

[iwantitfree]

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?

[kovalevka]

Good question!

[niki172]

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!

[faziix3]

Do you happen to know when it expires?

[lisac3]

Can you tell me when the email for the Gimme Brow code was sent, trying to find mine!

[RGbrown]

@lisac3 it was sent out on 4/30

[lisac3]

@RGbrown Thanks, must not have gotten it, that's frustrating since I've been platinum for years.

[RGbrown]

@lisac3 Yeah, it's frustrating. I'm platinum as well, and some I get, some I don't. They really should include all platinum folks in these. We have to make a purchase to redeem, and we have proven we can spend lol.

Today is a sad day...

Someone stole my Ulta points...I had $93 worth accumulated, and now 1,650 are gone...

Im off to call, Im assuming I need to create a new account and all that jazz...maybe this will fix my inability to order online with them...

Holyoke, MA- on my sh*t list
