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.

Today's beauty break. There's a choice of colors for the foundation. 

[KatieJiang]

There are a total of 8 shades to choose from!

[KMart919]

BareMinerals has to be one of the least enticing BB for me. I just never got into their products.

[Christinaco]

me too, waiting for something better for $50 purchase...

New freebie- Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Heat & Humidity Gel

Requires a unique code 😞

Product ID: 15861043

[RGbrown]

A few new sets today: bareminerals, clarisonic, some fragrance sets. Also a second NYX Lip vault (the first one showed up in the last week or two).

I also got a new multiplier for 5x Pureology.

No new gifts, other than the Platinum bag making a return. 

[Ispend2much6]

The Beauty Bag is back in stock. 🙂

[RGbrown]

@Ispend2much6

Just noticed that too. I'm getting annoyed with ulta over this sneaky little practice. 😐

[Ispend2much6]

@RGbrown  I wonder if they needed to recount their inventory or something.  I noticed other stores doing that also.  It is frustrating when you really want something.

[RandeeJ9]

@RGbrown seriously! It's like they're trying to find a loophole to prevent gift stacking. 😞

[RGbrown]

Platinum Perk bag just went OOS...I was debating an order, but I guess I'll pass now. Thanks Ulta! 😛

[gonerogue]

@RGbrown I was getting ready to pull the plug on a $150 order about half an hour ago and it went OOS for me too. Beauty Break is not enough to help me pull that plug so I'll just wait for the next bag 😞

[RandeeJ9]

@gonerogue @RGbrown Same. Just as I was checking out, the platinum bag went OOS. Beauty break isn't enough to entice me on its own so I'll also be waiting for the next platinum bag. They usually do those every few months, right? Or maybe something good will come up for the holidays. I don't really even need anything but I've got points to spend and there are some fun holiday sets I'd like but I'm holding out for the best GWP I can get and also stack with a beauty break. Gimme all the freebies!! 😄

[RGbrown]

@gonerogue ditto. Didn't care much about the beauty break itself, but that plum lipstick was just enough to tip me over the edge...but without the Platinum bag, I'm back to meh...the lipstick is nice, but not $75 nice, and I need more incentive. My wallet (well, my points balance, really) is happy though lol.

[gonerogue]

@RGbrown Maybe they're saving a really good one for after all the sales end 😉

I stopped getting ulta emails since I participated 21-days for 3 days in a row. Is  that weird?

[RGbrown]

@RIslander

Nah, not really...I only get every third email or so. They seem to get choosy about segmenting the email list, even for emails without coupons, though I can't really understand why.

[RGbrown]

Ok, so speaking of the Glazen Eye Gloss...I just pulled mine out because I wanted to play, but discovered it is already dried out 😞

Any ideas on what I might be able to add to it? Primer spray or setting spray maybe? Alcohol seems like a bad choice...not sure I have any other ideas.

[Ispend2much6]

The Fluid Line that @ClassicallyFab  recommended, and I've also read that you can add rubbing alcohol, biphase makeup remover, isodedecane, squalane, possibly hyaluronic acid (not sure if I'm remembering that one correctly,) and heating the shadow with a blast from your hair dryer.  I haven't tried any of these methods yet.

[ClassicallyFab]

Ruh roh! Did you keep the little plastic thing in between the cap and the jar on? 

This works in mascara that has dried up. Not sure how it'll work on the Glazen Gloss.
