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.

My Mystery Bag was a bummer. I received 4 hair products for thick/curly hair but I have fine straight hair. I received an Anastasia color stick. I was excited until I realized it was in the color Mink. I have light skin. I also got a sunscreen power that is too dark. The only things I will use are the 2 skincare samples. One was a Philosophy skin serum and the other was a Stri-Vectin. They also sent beard oil (huh?) in my sample packet. My profile clearly marks my preferences (makeup, nails, skincare) and my skin tone (light)

In the grand scheme of things it's not a big deal. I will donate them along with all of my Sephora Play fragrances. Someone will use them. 

I just wish they'd look at my profile or what I order and realize I don't have curly hair.

Here is my mystery bag - not bad 🙂 :

[Anonymous]

@Tamara76your gift is so different from mine! The only one we have in common is the Brow pencil. Yours looks great!

[Tamara76]

Yours looks pretty good, too!   These were pretty fun gwp!  @Anonymous

[Anonymous]

@Tamara76, I agree! These mystery bags are fun.

My Ulta mystery bag:

I got some great-sized items, but they're not necessarily useful to me. I was hoping for more makeup items, especially the ABH Foundation stick since @lippieaddict19 received one! On the other hand, I do enjoy the Wet Skin 🙂

[Anonymous]

Your bag looks nice, @KatieJiang!

[sarahshter]

My foundation stick was in Mocha (I think... super dark),  

[RGbrown]

3 body lotions, 2 conditioners...what an odd mix. And it looks like you only got 7 pieces instead of 8? Unless they are counting the bag? But lippieaddict below had 8pcs+bag (but then again, one was a foil). Meh, I don't think this round of bags was Ulta's best work 😞

[phantompenguinx]

@KatieJiang  thanks for sharing!! it's really interesting to see how mystery these bags really are. You have no overlap of items compared to @lippieaddict19's bag

[lippieaddict19]

Received my mystery bag today! I'm not at all pleased that one of the "deluxe" samples is a foil packet 😒, but otherwise I think it is an okay bag.  I was excited to see the Anastasia foundation stick, thought I think the shade is too gray for me (Mink-contour shade).

[xcicee]

Wowie these mystery boxes look awesome. I usually don't shop at ulta but I'll definitely place an order next time this promo comes out! 

[Tamara76]

Wow! The ABH foundation stick is a pretty great inclusion - You got some nice things!  @lippieaddict19

[Anonymous]

Oh I missed this 😞 what a bummer 😞 Congrats!!

[lippieaddict19]

@Anonymous Sorry you missed it 😞 Hopefully a better GWP rolls around soon!!

[ZombieMetroAnt]

Oh, thank you for sharing @lippieaddict1 😁 Did you order come in this red box? It's a pretty print...also, what is the Color Essence? A blush?

[lippieaddict19]

@ZombieMetroAnt No problem! I'm very excited to see what others got as well! As @StephaniLynn said, it's a Colourpop box! I don't know how to take pretty pictures at all and I got this box with one of my orders today, so I thought I would try and make use of it! The samples did come in the rubbery plastic zipper bag with the Ulta logo that Ulta often puts its GWPs in.

As @RGbrown said that product is from Colorscience. It's the Sunforgettable Brush-On Sunscreen SPF 50. It's a pretty generously sized sample and it includes a brush!

[RGbrown]

@ZombieMetroAnt colorescience is a line of sunscreen items...mostly powders iirc

[ZombieMetroAnt]

How interesting @RGbrown !  Thanks, gonna check these out 😉

[StephaniLynn]

@ZombieMetroAnt I believe that is a ColourPop box:)

[ZombieMetroAnt]

😆 thanks @StephaniLynn!  It's very pretty
