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.

Oooh nice! Enjoy @niki172

[niki172]

Thanks @AnneMCC - it's the new eyeshadow single blue jean and a bottle of SPF. Blue jean is very pretty BTW and LE if you're thinking about it. 

[KatieJiang]

@niki172  I went through a roller coaster of emotions reading this. 🙂

[ClassicallyFab]

Hahaha! @KatieJiang Best. Reply. Ever!

[niki172]

@KatieJiang - I had to call Ulta today about not receiving emails and asked about the gratis gifts and was told that only select Platinum member would be receiving anything this time around, but that there would be a "next time." I'm curious to see how many others get a gift. I'm also intrigued by what means they go about selecting members. No shade to anyone here that got a gift - I'm truly happy for you. I'm just mearly curious how they select customers.

[NinaR78]

I'm Platinum and have been for several years now and didn't get this gift either.  Honestly not bothered by it since I already have the Pro Glow palette.  So happy for those that did get it.  Congrats =).

Today's Beauty Break

[makeitup305]

Shouldn't it be Shimmering Skin perfector liquid based on th picture? Either way, I'm over Opal already. There's so many shades of the SKP can't we get a different deluxe sample?

[KatieJiang]

@makeitup305. Yes I believe it's the shimmering skin perfector liquid!

i agree with you in regards to Opal. Unfortunately, makeup companies tend to mass produce a certain deluxe sample in a certain shade and it gets given to various beauty department stores so we always end up with the same deluxe sample. Ahem Smashbox Drivers Seat.

I got something a little bit different than the highlight and countour palette like everyone else. Still super nice, and so awesome that I got sent something too! Plus it'll be my first time trying out tarte make up.

[rbkh]

Yay, congrats and thanks for posting - what a nice appreciation gift! I'm also fingers crossed to see if I get something but I love Ulta's sales philosophy for GWP and promos - makes it easy to maintain Platinum status!!

[katgoulding]

This looks great! Enjoy 🙂

[PrettyPaint]

Congrats! That looks awesome. What a wonderful surprise!

[blackfire92]

@PrettyPaint Thanks! Yeah, I was really surprised. It's so generous of ulta and tarte. Makes me glad to be shopping there. 

[myumew]

Being a Plat member at Ulta sounds super rewarding! That's so nice of them to gift an entire palette 😄 Enjoy!

[blackfire92]

Yes it is @myumew! Thanks, I'm really excited about it! I think I'll try it out tomorrow.

[RGbrown]

Congrats to you (and everyone that got something)! Ulta really does rock!

(I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but am still impatiently checking the mail every day lol)

Tarte's eyeshadow is usually awesome like classicallyfab said. Smooth, creamy, blendable, and well pigmented. I don't have any personal experience with that palette in particular, but I'd expect great things from it!

[blackfire92]

 @RGbrownHopefully you will, someone who commented on this thread earlier said they heard everyone was getting sent one. If so that's amazing of them to do.                       That makes me even more excited to use it, thanks so much! I'll probably end up using it tomorrow. 

[ClassicallyFab]

Oooo, hope you love it! Tarte is great! I love their blushes, and matte liquid lipstick. They both last a long time. Their eyeshadow formula is pretty unique, and quite nice. Creamy, and most are long-wearing (there are exceptions, lol). ❤️ Yay!

[blackfire92]

Thanks @ClassicallyFab! Yeah, I'm really excited about the eyeshadow! I've heard nothing but good things about it! Plus this one actually smells like chocolate, which was a really nice surprise. 

[ClassicallyFab]

Oh, yeah! I always forget until I open a palette, and get so pleasantly reminded! I love that scent (as I run to my vanity to get a waft). 😄 The highlighters have that scent, too! @blackfire92
