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.

@phantompenguinx

Waste a 20%?? The horror!!😱

🤣

I'll definitely be using mine...I went a bit nuts lately too and have way too many points; the 20% is just about the only time I use em...best bang for the buck and all. Then I'll build back up if there's anything worthwhile with the 10x lol

[phantompenguinx]

Thanks for the insight @RGbrown! Yeah i think i'll hold out and see what's to come...i  placed a lot more orders than i meant to the past couple weeks lol (curses to these point multipliers and my bday month haha) 😛

it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if i don't buy anything with the 20% coupon, cause isn't there a 10x bonus day coming, right? lol

I just got the beauty break email. Here's the picture ICYMI

[suzyo]

I won't be using this, please comment when used 🙂

[Starburst24]

Can I combine two of the freebies or is it just one freebie coupon per transaction?

[Kay522]

@Starburst24 It depends on whether it's a freebie with a code or not. If it's not a code based one, then you can stack as many as are available/applicable. If it requires a code, you're only able to use one code per order. So you can combine non-code freebies with one code freebie, but no other offers/coupons that require a code. Hopefully that makes sense!

[Starburst24]

Makes sense 😃 Thank you!!

[Madeline7]

If anyone has a code for the DS of CoverFX drops that they aren't going to use, I would love to have it! 🙂

[rkangel]

I'm on a low buy and will not be using this. Reply if used. Product ID 14021313

Claimed!

[faziix3]

Is it possible to send me this for in store please??? I'd really appreciate it!! @rkangel

[rkangel]

Just PMed it @faziix3.

Ulta has an It Cosmetics beauty break today. Sorry I can't do pictures. Type beauty break in search bar on Ulta' s home page.

[ClassicallyFab]

It's nice.

[RGbrown]

@Madeline7

I've gotten it cc cream samples from ulta before, though I don't think they've been the Illumination variation, so this is all just a stab in the dark...previous samples have been medium, so that would be my first guess. 

[Madeline7]

Any idea what shade the CC cream is?  It doesn't seem to say on the packaging

[itscarin]

This is kind tangential but I wanted to share my super fast shipping experience with Ulta.  I placed an order on Wednesday, stacked all those freebies, and then it arrived at my house by noon on Friday!  I was happily surprised because I was able to gift one of the Tarte palettes to a friend for her bday on Saturday.  😄

[RGbrown]

@itscarin I love it when that happens. My normal timeframe is about 5 days, but every now and again I'll get something that quick, and it always makes me feel so awesome! Ulta really just quietly keeps knocking things out of the park, at least for me. They are just so dang dependable, especially compared to other beauty superstores (ahem, like ones that advertise 2day shipping and then take a week to ship, cancel half my items, and then never give me samples...😜 ).

[RGbrown]

@itscarin yeeeeessss, the gifts! Ulta has completely spoiled me there too. I saw another thread recently where someone complained about sephora's points perks and 100 points only being one deluxe sample; someone else asked "well, what do you expect for only spending $100?" and I immediately thought "um, I expect a missylynn bag for the bargain basement price of $75" 😅😅😅

[itscarin]

I got so many full sized items as gwp too! A tater brow pencil. An eyeliner. Lip glosses from buxom and Lorac. Real techniques brushes. Insane.

[missdarcy]

I have literally never gotten an Ulta package in less than a week. But I'm pretty sure that;s just how it works for shipping to the west coast. I used to live in NYC and got used to very fast shipping, but now that I live on the west coast, everything takes so much longer! But glad you had a short shipping time with Ulta; you must be close to one of their distribution centers!

Please don't depend upon clicking onto the 5x Lip Promo email to activate your offer.  I waited 15 minutes before going to my cart, and fortunately I check my offers because it had not activated via that method  I didn't want anyone to miss out on their points.
