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.

I missed the bag a couple weeks ago when SiJCP was holding a Benefit event, now I'm tempted again!

[phantompenguinx]

agh i don't need anything...but i might place an order just to get that tote!!

[NatureGirlSD]

I bet that bag will be on Poshmark soon! 😄 I'm dying for the blue velour MiuMiu bag GWP on Sephora, but I don't do their perfumes so I keep checking Poshmark.

[stillpooh]

I didn’t need anything, but hubby had asked me to reorder his Art of Shaving stuff. Threw in a Hot Buy Smashbox liner to hit the $60, and voila! Free cute tote bag.

[RGbrown]

I'm in the same boat. What do I need? Not a single thing. But I waaaaant that baaaag! 😄

I'm trying to stay strong, but I'm also hoping it sells out quick so I can forget about it and save a few bucks 😋

[phantompenguinx]

@RGbrown

i just pulled the trigger...i'm lucky because i use the pur mineral foundation, so i just got a bunch of backups of those 😛 I remember the last time benefit had a similar bag as a gwp i was so sad afterwards that i didnt place an order 😞

[RGbrown]

@phantompenguinx

And a sigh of relief...I was loading up a cart and it went OOS lol

Today's Daily Deals weren't enticing to me, but I do have a few things I want from the Hot Buys, so I'll save that purchase to see if we get a better GWP. As cute as that Benefit tote is, it would just sit on a shelf with the rest of my massive bag collection, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for something more useful to me 😄

[phantompenguinx]

@RGbrowni just got rid of a bunch of gwp bags that i didnt use, so this one will take up the void those left lol

and yeah i really hope a good gwp is coming...i'm planning on placing an order next wed so hopefully there's a beauty break or some freebies or something. i feel like ulta has been holding out on the freebies ever since that one platinum day frenzy

[maxima]

I was thinking the same exact thing! It's been about six weeks since Ulta's had a big Beauty Bag gwp. That's unusual. I know that their site glitched that day and enabled  a lot of people to redeem the bag without spending the $150 threshold. I saw on another forum, some people got the bag without spending so much as $30. I know the system caught its mistake and cancelled some orders. But it left me wondering if Ulta's cutting back in order to recoup their losses or if they plan to do a major upgrade to their website before offering something that big again.

@phantompenguinx the bag is large and sturdy!  I don't think you'll be disappointed

[phantompenguinx]

@ZombieMetroAnt  thanks for the details!! im so excited 😄

[Susubee]

Has anyone tried the Ulta spf setting spray? I’m intrigued, and it seems like, if it works, it would be a solution to a lot of my sunscreen makeup woes. 

[lolchels]

I recently bought this. You still need to use another type of sunscreen first. Do not use this as your only sun protection. You must use a sunscreen or moisturizer with SPF. This will not be sufficient by itself.

[bcool]

this might be a good supplement but doesn't give your 100% protection.

New multiplier!I *just* put his retinol serum on my favorites list a couple of days ago...it must be fate 😛

[muddlepup]

Why don’t I have that multiplier?????? 😢😢😢😢😢😢

[NatureGirlSD]

Nice! Don't you love when that happens? I swear by PTR Retinol FusionPM, so I was excited to see that multiplier... then I remembered I'm bumping up to the higher % retinol that only Sephora & the PTR site carry when this bottle runs out. Doh. I was happy to see specials for a few of my must-haves, so I'm having fun with an order using points even though few are multipliers. (I'm holding out hope for the April fragrance crush/multiplier.)

[writtenonpaiges]

Hopefully there will be a GWP bag soon... mama needs some essentials!!
