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.

I just placed an order and included the mystery sample bag.  I got an email for 5x the points for my platinum anniversary so that pushed me over the edge to restock what I needed.  Fingers crossed the bag is a good one!

[phantompenguinx]

nice @mishanyc! yeah i'm waiting to see if in the next couple days there's another gwp or bonus points to persuade me to take a chance on the mystery bag

does anyone know how long a "limited time" usually lasts? (in ulta terms haha)

[RGbrown]

@phantompenguinx Since they didn't advertise it as "one day only", I'd say at least a couple of days,but beyond that...no clue. The best answer I can give though is this...it will sell out or be pulled 5 minutes before I get to check out when I decide to get one lol 😛

[phantompenguinx]

haha @RGbrown yeah i'm terribly indecisive, by the time i make a decision to checkout, most of the gwps in my bag are oos or expired 😞

[RGbrown]

@phantompenguinx ditto! I am terribly sad about missing the last beauty break...all that lip stuff was right.up.my.alley. I had prepped a cart the night before, but I hadn't been prepared for $75 buy-in so I had to adjust when I signed in, and I wound up missing it by minutes.

Like you, I am holding off on this one just to see if anything else good comes up. I don't think I'll be as sad if I miss this one since I won't have any idea exactly what I'm missing out on. I have a couple of "wants" to order, but nothing pressing, so I think waiting a bit is probably a wise choice for now.

New gwp! 8pc deluxe sample mystery bag with any $50 purchase. Product ID 16031191 (but it's right on their front page too, so finding it should be easy). 

[Madeline7]

Are Ulta's mystery kits usually decent?

[StephaniLynn]

@Madeline7 the last mystery bag I got I recieved a full size Laura Geller Baked Hightlight and deluxe sample of ABH gloss. I was super happy with it. 

[lmi82]

I think it depends on you're luck. I've never received a decent mystery bag from Ulta (or from anywhere else for that matter). Hence why I'm skipping this one. It's super tempting, but I just know I'll get burned.

If you'e already planning on making an order and it happens to qualify for the gwp, go for it. However, I wouldn't recommend spending $50 just to get the qwp. There is always the chance that you'll end up with a really crappy bag. 

[AnneMCC]

The last one I got was really nice. I can't recall what was in it, but I remember being very happy with it.

@Anonymous I can't PM you back because of the CAPTCHA thing. Unfortunately, I deleted the email as soon as I posted the online coupon here. So sorry as I don't have the in-store coupons anymore!
