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

Spoiler

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 Right? When I saw the $175 buy-in and how the GW...

@RGbrown Right? When I saw the $175 buy-in and how the GWP included a bag we've seen before, I could only muster a Michael Bluth "Her?". Now I'm thinking the increased buy-in might be meant mainly as incentive for those close to Platinum or Diamond. ?? I've only been with Ulta since August, so I'm wondering if it's common for them to use the same bags again and/or items in the bags. It's not a deal breaker, by any means, I'm just curious about whether it's something to expect in the future.

Re: @RGbrown Right? When I saw the $175 buy-in and how the GW...

@NatureGirlSD

The bag itself being used again isn't common...I've seen that once or twice before, but it hasn't been the norm. Items do repeat a good bit though; they'll show up in all different configurations, but if you see an item once, it'll typically surface again in another bag or gwp later, except maybe some of the full size non-drugstore stuff. Like in this one, I'm not sure I'd expect to see the Lorac mascara or the Buxom gloss pop up again.

 

The more I look at this one, I'm seeing stuff I want after all. Must.walk.away ๐Ÿ˜‹

Re: @RGbrown Right? When I saw the $175 buy-in and how the GW...

@RGbrown LOL Stay strong, unless you rilly rilly need $185 worth of stuff right now. ๐Ÿ™‚

Knowing similar bags are likely to show up again will be a help with whether to bite or not the next time one comes around, hopefully with a lower buy-in! 

Re: Ulta GWPs

Love the items, but I have them all. Will be passing for the sake of my wallet๐Ÿ˜†

Also, lots of nice brand-specific multi-piece gwp's went up for the holiday weekend, all with various end dates from the 26th through the 2nd. The lip sampler is still available as well!

Re: Ulta GWPs

I really wish Ulta would get the drybar "big crimpin" in stock.  I want that!  But I'm waiting for ulta to get it before I actually purchase it.  D4mn loyalty program making me so loyal.  Drybar is having a 20% off sale on their website, too.  ๐Ÿ˜•

@RGbrown ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ™ You're a rockstar!

Re: Ulta GWPs

@itscarin@RGbrown GMTA! I was going to post a pic of the crimper, but couldn't remember the thread. Hopefully you're getting in on that magical $185 GWP that keeps popping up. LOL

 

Re: Ulta GWPs

I have been waiting for a decent hair tools multiplier. Thanks to this 5X I basically received an additional $125.00 reward. I purchased the Dyson Dryer. I hope the hype is real. When I use the Bio Ionic 10X Dryer, it takes me between 10 - 15 minutes to dry my hair. 

This order pushed me only $103.57 away from Diamond Level. I also added the 16 piece Beauty Bag, the lipsticks and Pureology Hair Mask.

Re: Ulta GWPs

@Loretta55 Let me know what you think!  I'd shell out the money if I knew it was amazing, but I'm not willing to spend the money for something that may perform just as well as a $200 dryer.

Re: Ulta GWPs

@itscarin I have been curious about the Dyson Dyer also and I was waiting for a multiplier to try it. I will gladly post my thoughts once I try it. I have thick wavy shoulder length hair.

Re: Ulta GWPs

Hey ladies! Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that @ohheyitscindyk was right and that beauty break she posted on Monday is live! Is anyone jumping on this one? Have a cart made but trying to decide if I should pull the trigger on it! Seems like a lot of full size lip pieces! 8D83C33B-041E-4CDE-ACA8-B6A831D6BAC0.png

 

Re: Ulta GWPs

The lip sampler is back, in case anyone missed it ๐Ÿ™‚

Re: Ulta GWPs

It's a lot of full sized items but none of them are prestige.  Everything is drugstore which is making this an easy pass for me -- especially with an $85 buyin.  The only prestige items I saw was deluxe sizes of UD, Too Faced, and Tarte.  Did I miss anything?

Re: Ulta GWPs

@itscarin  There's a travel size Nudestix.  This was a great time for my kid to need a refill on his Dr. Brandt exfoliator!

Re: Ulta GWPs

I'm in the same boat. Can NOT decide. I feel like I could regret it if one of those platinum GWP bags pops up, but if it doesn't, I'll regret not getting this (trying to limit my spending!)

 

Ugh what to dooo!

RE: Re: Ulta GWPs

Platinum days seem to run the first Monday of the month, so we have another week if they follow their pattern.

And kudos to Ulta for *finally* listing the brands instead of just saying the ever-cryptic 'select' and making us wait for the email ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

@RGbrown Yay, I got that multiplier! I'm already looking at this from Memebox for a 6-yr-old since reviewers say all their headbands are too small & some can't fit it over their heads. ๐Ÿ˜›

Re: @RGbrown Yay, I got that multiplier! I'm already looking...

@NatureGirlSD

I have their plain old cat one. My head isn't particularly big around (I have no issues with most hats, even the smaller one size fits all ones), but I guess it is somewhat long...I can get the headband over my head easily, but it's so tight once it's in place that it just slides right off the back of my head almost immediately. ๐Ÿ˜’
