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.

@BrookeSelvage You can definitely buy one at the 50% off price and then show up to the store with the 20% off receipt/online order and tell them you're returning it.  The stores prefer you come in for a price adjustment because they would rather take the 30% loss of doing the price adjustment to the their sales goals than to take 100% loss of processing a full return with no repurchase.

Where did you see that the palette is going to be on sale? It is on the ULTA's website? Or the flyer they sent out? Just curious because I want it too. 

[ohheyitscindyk]

@ArmyChick84 I posted some spoilers from Instagram last night, I'll tag you 🙂

[Feebee1115]

You can always return and rebuy. Or buy it and then return the new one with the old receipt. I’m debating on getting that palette again at the price lol

[Alicehoopz]

Take the palette in store with you the day it's 50% off (along with your receipt). Explain you want to exchange the palette for the better price. You have to return and re-buy but usually the associates understand, especially since you're just exchanging for the same palette in hand (even though there are technically no "exchanges").

Does this make sense? It's intuitive once you do it but unusually difficult to explain lol

@BrookeSelvage

Looking through Ulta's CS info, I don't see anything yea or nay regarding a price guarantee. Can't hurt to ask your store; worst case would be you do a return/rebuy. 

[RGbrown]

The app is showing possible spoilers for at least some of the bags. #5 doesnt have a pic, but the reviews lead me to believe it's an old nude lip sampler

[lasweetvie]

I grabbed the Beauty Blender “Blender’s Delight” kit that includes the B.B. traveling case, which has been in and out of stock. That’s exactly $ 40, so I got mystery bag 2, the two GWP + 20% off + 10% off on Ebates!  

Thanks for all the great info!!

[Loretta55]

Bags 4 & 7 are OOS.

[Ispend2much6]

EDIT:  Thanks @lippieaddict19 for finding this. I didn't scroll down far enough to see this was already posted.

Possible spoiler for 5- it has some reviews!  Nude lip colors, "cheap brands" the review said.

[Alicehoopz]

I think the negative reviews are because it had a $75 buy in originally

A full size DOC too - not bad at all

[Ispend2much6]

@Alicehoopz  And an ABH lippie. 

[Ispend2much6]

I had gotten 3 and 4 previously. 

The Bare Minerals one is actually nice in person.  The eye shadow shade is really pretty.  And there is a mini liquid lipstick (I can't remember the shade.) 

Gift 4 has a lot of items in it.  The liquid lipstick was a nice shade that a lot of people would like, the purple Winky Lux eyeshadow is pretty, Skinfix is a great brand.  The blush was brownish in color; not for me.  Maybe it was a bronzer; I don't remember. I believe the mascara-ish item is a L'oreal lash primer.

8 is a good one! I got a coupon for this set a few months ago (pic is from Poshmark)

And here's the lip set (#5) 

[ohheyitscindyk]

@lippieaddict19 Thank you!!

[JenniferOhJenny]

@RGbrown Thanks!

I chose #7 which is kind of a bummer, but I needed to place an order today anyway so nbd. 🙂

[eshoe]

Thank you @RGbrown, hope one of those isn’t a LG bag😆

[Alicehoopz]

*bows down* you are a true hero

I think it's a lip sampler too. I think I'm gonna bite. The reviews say it's all matte, ew - I hear "all matte? YES!!"

Alternately, the UD sampler is really nice too. That's the squeeze tube of UDPP too, right?

[ohheyitscindyk]

@Alicehoopz I believe it's the squeeze tube 🙂

[socalsunflower]

Thank you! Now I’m dying to know what 1 & 8 are.. which one to get.. decisions decisions.

[Luvstravel]

@RGbrown, thanks for posting. I'm passing. Used one of my 20% off coupons in store today, will hold on to my second one up till 24th if needed 🙂
