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.

@greeneyedgirl107

I'm not a @ohheyitscindyk, but I play one on BIC 😄

Sorry, that was bad. Moving on 😋

99.9% of Wednesdays will have a Beauty Break. The exceptions are so rare, they are hardly worth mentioning (but it's always a shock when it happens lol). They are normally advertised as happening 10am-2pm Central, but the products typically load on the site some time around/just after 6am, and are available until supplies last...many times they don't make it until 2, but I've also seen some last much longer.

(Oh wait, just looked at last year again, and there is an exception worth noting...we had none in December!)

Occasionally Ulta will toss us a second Beauty Break during the week. Normally these happen on Monday or Friday. The usual time for these one-offs is the same as Wednesday, but they can also do an "up all night" or "after dark" (I forget what they call it) where they start around 6pm, as we had this past Monday.

Last year we had a Tuesday BB and a Thursday BB, but they both happened on weeks where we didn't get the Wednesday BB, so they weren't the norm and it seems they were just one-time happenings and never made it into the usual pattern.

@RGbrown Thanks so much for the info!  I'm getting more and more into Ulta purchases, so this helps a lot for planning purchases.

[Lazybeautybeast]

Thank you @ohheyitscindyk for adding the pictures! You must have the magic touch!

[RGbrown]

No new multipliers or GWPs, but figured I'd share this banner from the site.

...ok, never mind...I upload pics and they just vanish...

Anyways...expedited shipping will not be available the 19th and 20th due to system upgrades.

Upgrades are always nerve-racking. The reply box here on BIC looks a little different than it did even 30 minutes ago, and I keep getting logged out tonight, so I assume another supposed "upgrade" is in process here too...one that now kicks out my pics. Hooray for upgrades! 😌

If you have an ulta credit card, check your bonus offers. You may have a 3x points offer for using the ulta credit card!

The mascara sampler the marvelous ms. Cindy posted for us a couple of days ago is live.

The Badescu Beauty Break is still active as well. I wouldn't expect this overlap to last long, so if you're in the market for something, act fast.

And as mentioned by makeupmaven below, the Beauty Break is counting towards the requirement for the $100 card case, effectively dropping your necessary spend to $50 to get it. May as well toss it into an order if you're buying tonight 😀

My total cart is $52 here, and all three are free. Too bad it's just a test and I still can't find anything to buy lol

[Luvstravel]

Darn, just placed my order and forgot about the card case. I did check and all the beauty bags were out of stock ☹ Guess I'll be happy with my mascara sampler and Mario gift 😁

[donnainca]

You can add this with the Mario Badescu night time Beauty break if you act quickly.

[Luvstravel]

Just did! I was trying to hurry before they took the beauty break down, since it said till midnight. My order went through 🙂 Good felt like that made up for when I tried to purchase the Cover Fx beauty break too early the other day and I tried too many times and hosed up my account for 24 hours. Too bad the beauty bags were out of stock to add on with these other 2 gifts. I checked all 3 and they showed out of stock.

[luvgloss13]

New nightime BB! 🙂

[Anonymous]

If hyou get the BB it counts towards the $100 for the beauty step up card case and it rings up for free. 

[ohheyitscindyk]

One day only, on Tuesday

Thanks @ohheyitscindyk This is exciting, and thanks for posting so I can plan ahead! 🙂

[sarahshter]

Thank you so much for posting this definitely going to place an order for this one. Lots that I haven’t tried yet!!!

[sonnydee]

Wow! A mascara lovers dream! I like the idea of this bb!

[Luvstravel]

@ohheyitscindyk, thanks so much. I was thrown out of the system on the Cover Fx day, I guess I tried too many times too early in the a.m. This will make up for it. 😁

[RGbrown]

10 pictured, 9 listed. Ulta comes through again! 😅😅😅

You're the best, @ohheyitscindyk! Thank you!

[ohheyitscindyk]

@RGbrown Hahaha I never notice these things- I would be a terrible witness lol.

[RGbrown]

I'll get this out of the way real quick, cuz holy mackerel, there's some awesome news next. New multiplier!

Now, on to the good stuff!

Not one, not two, but SIX new brands tonight, and dang if they aren't good ones!

(Edit: oops, just five new ones. I didn't recognize Spongeables when I saw their new items, but it was an existing brand after all)

Check out the new arrivals page too...lots of new goodies from existing brands tonight as well 😀

[sarahshter]

This makes me so excited. Love when Ulta steps up it’s game!!!

[lasweetvie]

Do you know when multiplier points show up in your account? I am in need of some DryBar items but I’m new to Ulta purchases :). Thanks to anyone who has some info on how the multipliers work!
