Let's keep this thread on topic!
Ulta points refresher (because yes, it is that complicated):
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
Links are not allowed. In lieu of links, please read this:
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.

New multiplier!
And kudos to Ulta for *finally* listing the brands instead of just saying the ever-cryptic 'select' and making us wait for the email 👍👍
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. 😒
@Anonymous @RGbrown I'm glad to hear they fit 3 of you, since I want the white one. Do you think it could it fit a 6-yr-old's head?
I wonder if reviewers were doing it wrong, like one-star reviews for eyeliners that won't twist up (because they need to be sharpened). 😛
I think it would be a bit big for a 6 year old, but a safety pin or some sort of small clip could work wonders for temporarily making it smaller.
@RGbrownThanks! Keeping in on my list.
I wish I’d gotten this! It’s my bday month so I would have gotten double points too!

Aaarrgghh, must stop thinking about those lippies!
Ouch on the $85, but I am a sucker for lippies 😛
Detailed analysis reveals a discrepancy in the list vs the pic...the list says Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Lip Shine in Bright Poppy, but the pic shows Ulta Shiny Sheer lip gloss in a very pale shade (shade Bare maybe? Hard to tell). I'd prefer the Neutrogena shade, but who am I kidding...either way, this is tempting 😛
@RGbrown I'm glad that I'm not the only one who has noticed problems with the pics Ulta uses. I recently spotted two pics of products that have been re-packaged. Tsk-tsk!
Really?! I think an $85 threshold is ridiculously high for mostly drug store brands.
@maxima I'm with you! $85 buy in for a bunch of drugstore brands is way too high. Even if they are full sized. I think I could buy all those and pay less than $85. I also don't see anything new and exciting in the bag. Everyone has backtalk already, and a lot of us have the peach gloss already.
@itscarin I did the math and it came very close to breaking even. If you take into consideration that these brands are usually bought on sale and with a coupon, then you've exceeded $85! Don't get me wrong, it's a nice freebie if you've already planned to make a purchase, but not as an outright incentive. I'll wait for that $125 Platinum Perk in June.
I agree $85 is perhaps high...last year the big lip sampler was $75, but only had 14 pieces. Slowly but surely buy-in at Ulta is creeping up, but at least they tossed in a couple more items this time.
But I also think $25 for one DS is a bit much, and $100 (using points) for one is even worse. For those craving variety, and wanting or needing to make a purchase anyways, this is a nice value.
Sorry for the long post, spoilers weren't working for me 😕
New multiplier!
And a new brand! 😍
