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.

@RGbrown I was expecting the first because I'd already seen this post! So I went straight to opening the second thinking that *must* be it. Stupid marketing - the emails were 15min apart! Why, Ulta, why????

[quspork]

UGH YES. I did the same exact thing @RGbrown. Why are you teasing us, ULTA? 😛

[Ispend2much6]

Here's another new item: ABH Mini Matte Set Nudes- Soft Pink, Kiss, Spice, and Dead Roses.  Item 2523790

[writtenonpaiges]

These are amazing! Received mine on Friday and haven’t worn anything else:)!

[Ispend2much6]

@writtenonpaiges  It's so fun when you get something you love!  I've tried several and because my lips are weird, most of them ended up looking the same on me, brown. lol  I wish more companies would put out miniature sets like this, because it would be a great way to try products.

[lippieaddict19]

This Smashbox lip set is currently on sale...great to combine with the 20% off coupon if you got one! They're all full size so it's a $168 value 😳

[Alicehoopz]

Oh man thank you TONS! I know a lot of people don't believe in spending 1000 points vs 2000, but this worked out so well and didn't involve me stress-adding stuff I didn't really want (I didn't get the 20% off coupon either but it combines with the smashbox $10 off!)

Now I can finally trial Benefits skincare and I got the elf beauty break (still free @ 2:45 CST!)

[lippieaddict19]

@Alicehoopz Yay! That's an awesome haul! I completely forgot about the Smashbox coupon... was that the $10 off $30 that went out awhile ago?

I completely understand about the points thing - I find it so difficult to make up a cart with that much at one time and that's often what deters me from spending my points.

[Alicehoopz]

It is! It's good thru the 27th 🙂

[RGbrown]

@Alicehoopz

Nice haul!

I absolutely believe that sometimes spending 1000pts instead of 2000pts can have a better personal or perceived value...sometimes there's a nice GWP at $50 that warrants ordering it twice, or sometimes $125 is just too much stuff at once...forcing $125 if all you want or need is $50 can be wasteful if you wind up with useless stuff just for the sake of getting stuff 😄  

[Alicehoopz]

Thanks! I love Smashbox and was waiting for a good enough sale to use that coupon lol!

Yeah exactly, I've done the "overhaul" haul which ends in products I get and never use 🙄 - but the 2000 pts hauls are still excellent for holiday gifts! I tend to go for those when I have gifts in mind 😀

[RGbrown]

All sorts of nice new goodies just in time for 20%!

[nikki]

I see a few things to add for my 20% off cart. I need to look up swatches for the new UD collaboration, the small eyeshadow palette in particular.

[writtenonpaiges]

Planned on starting a no-buy until March but I cannot resist a good GWP bag!! Plus, that 20% can’t go unused when it comes in the mail😎😎. Also, I stopped receiving emails after I quit(2 weeks notice, on happy terms) Ulta in December. Coincidence? I think not!

[RIslander]

Nice haul!

[Blckhrt]

If anyone gets a 20% coupon in the mail today, I would love to “trade” you for mine — Mail already came today and mine wasn’t in it, but I really want to use it on the two deals of the day tomorrow, Sunday! If anyone would be willing to PM me their code so I can use it tomorrow, I would be more than happy to PM back my own code after I receive it next week! 

[Blckhrt]

Still looking for a code to use today, in exchange for my code later this week! Fingers crossed! 

[sabrinas]

Im going to piggy back on this and also ask the same thing! I have a 250 points on $60 spend that expires today and Id love to use a 20% with it!

[shimmerbait]

Sounds like there is a round of 20% prestige coupons coming out !

[mwg1]

I think I'm going to wait to use mine until next week when we get some new specials. I also have 3000 points so this came at the perfect time!

[nikki]

Of course it’s right after I place an order to get the gwps and take advantage of the bonus points and point multiplers!
