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.

Darn I didn't even see the beauty break as an option when I made my TF order earlier this morning. I love the mascaras.

[bcool]

She should credit @ohheyitscindyk for the 8pc Beauty bag and she never does.

[NatureGirlSD]

Not giving credit really really really just sucks. It looks like others have been credited for tips they sent in, so there's no reason not to credit the person whose image they found on their own. ::end rant::

[superlala]

I agree @ohheyitscindyk is the leader in spoilers and secretly my hero 😎

Upcoming Beauty Break

Spoiler

Also, targeted 30% off Essie codes were emailed out today.

[itscarin]

@ohheyitscindyk This is incorrect, right?  The BB for Wednesday is the Tarte set?  I'm a little confused right now.  Thanks!

@itscarinUnidentified

I believe Ms Cindy said the Tarte gift was labeled as week29 at some point, which should make it next week if I've counted the weeks right. Ulta starts their year in Feb, so starting with Feb 4 (the first full week of Feb), week29 is this coming Sunday 😁

[ohheyitscindyk]

@itscarin @RGbrown I'm confused now, too lol the UD was labeled "Week 28," so it should have gone live first. I guess Ulta's trying to keep us on our toes!

[RGbrown]

@ohheyitscindykUnidentified @itscarinUnidentified

Ok, I was massively confused myself. 😹 I scrolled back and this TF Beauty Break *is* the one we talked about being labeled as week29 recently. So...it is entirely possible I have the weeks wrong (maybe they count the last few days of Jan as part of week1 instead starting it off with the first full week of Feb? That would make this week29 now)...or Ulta swapped weeks for the gwp. I guess if UD was week28 at some point, it's been pushed back? If we are currently in week28, I'd say odds are low for a weekend BB since we've already had two this week (though I suppose it's not impossible). And if this is week29, well, I assume it's been moved to another week lol.

We had a Tarte gwp for the forever fabulous sale. I've got so many brands swimming in my head now that I can't keep em straight anymore. Was there another upcoming tarte gift you were talking about, @itscarinUnidentified?

Trying to figure Ulta out is a crazy guessing game lately. 😋 I still wanna know where the 20% went...they've always been steadfast with those, so I hate to see that slipping ☹️

[itscarin]

@RGbrown Shoot, I said "Tarte".  I meant "Too Faced".  Blame it on Mercury Rx.  😄

[writtenonpaiges]

When do Beauty Breaks usually go live?

[NatureGirlSD]

I'm a night owl and tend to get them between 4 & 6 a.m. Pacific, rarely later. 🙂 @writtenonpaiges @RGbrown

[RGbrown]

@writtenonpaiges

Technically they are advertised as starting at 10am Central...however, they usually show up on the site around 6am (I thiiiink? I'm not actually up that early, but that's generally about what time someone posts it here IIRC 😛 )

[phantompenguinx]

@RGbrown  haha yeah they're usually live by the time I wake up ~7am Eastern

[writtenonpaiges]

Hopefully the 8 piece beauty bag will still be available tomorrow as I want to pick this Beauty Break up too! The Too Faced Tutti Frutti collection drops tomorrow and I cannot wait.

[RGbrown]

@ohheyitscindykUnidentified

Thank you as always!! 💜💜💜

[NatureGirlSD]

Thanks! This is a good one too for a stocking stuffer or theme gift, minus that primer I've wanted to try. 😄 @ohheyitscindyk

[sarahshter]

I’m so bummed. After waiting for over a week my Ulta box finally came... damaged. The free Smashbox foundation bottle broke in half and kinda wrecked everything except the two things in plastic rinseable bottles. I’m hoping Ulta will replace everything and the freebies from my order. 🤞🤞

[quspork]

That really stinks, @sarahshter I hope Ulta is able to make it right for you. In the past, when I've had similar issues, they've issued me refunds or credits. It might depend a bit on the what exactly the free items are in different orders and if they're easily replaceable. I would think the foundation would be! Best of luck!

I've had that happen in the last Days Of Beauty event... the Mario Badescu facial spray had spilt over everything (about 3 items), including my Anastasia Brow Whiz. I called and they reshipped everything, and told me I could keep what I could rescue. Super nice!

And one time I got a rude CS rep for another issue... I said, fine, thanks anyway, hung up and called back the next day.. got someone super nice and issue resolved.  😁 Just gotta try a couple of times.
