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.

The Ulta Beauty Brow Tint is currently on sale for $4.00 if anybody would like to try it. I highly recommend it.

[alexalicious]

Thank you @Loretta55 I will check that out. It's definitely a good deal if it's a dupe for the benefit.

[Alicehoopz]

That's a great cleanser for dry skin/light makeup wear. It's kind of difficult for other uses though. I tried it as a second step in cleansing and it didn't remove the first cleanser; as a first step it doesn't remove heavy makeup. Works best on it's own with light makeup/no makeup (great for the no makeup days)

Super tempting BB!

@itscarin

Thanks for the heads up! Now if it came in the piggy bank, I'd be all over it, but I'm holding out for the Skinfatuation gift instead 😄

[mezzotown88]

@RGbrown I don’t know if you’re interested in this or not...

[RGbrown]

@mezzotown88

Ha, that's adorable! 😄

I'm totally jonesing for one of the Benefit piggy tins though...that's what I was talking about 😛

[KirstenAnneH]

Quick question: I have the Strivectin Daily Beauty Steal in my cart (have everything set up to use $125 in points), but I was really hoping for a GWP or Beauty Break. Should I hold out? Or is this Beauty steal likely to sell out quickly? It is a neck cream, normally $95 but now $47.50

[alexalicious]

@KirstenAnneH bennefit beauty break is live! Hope this helps!

[Indy701]

@KirstenAnneH  It’s hard to tell. A gwp May pop up but nothing is showing yet. If it’s something you really want, I wouldn’t wait too late to buy it.

New multiplier

[alexalicious]

Dang it, didn't mean to post at the same time again. lol but glad you got a multiplier too 😊 Happy supermoon eclipse 🌚🌒🌓🌔🌕

[alexalicious]

new multiplier

[RGbrown]

Hrmph...

Two new multipliers per reddit, CoverFX and ABH (neither of which I got...I usually get ABH, but haven't bought any in forever, so I guess I finally dropped off that list. I don't think I've ever bought CoverFX, so perhaps that's why I didn't get it...). Both valid through 2/2.

[maxima]

I didn't get the Cover FX and ABH multipliers either and I've made recent purchases from both brands. Then I wake up to the Mario Badesco offer, yet I've never bought anything from his line. Ulta's marketing dept. is so bonkers. 

[NatureGirlSD]

@maxima I also recently purchased ABH, but didn't get the multiplier & never do Mario Badescu and got that. They're really mixing things up. (Thanks for the tip on Ulta CS!)

[maxima]

@NatureGirlSD I've given up on trying to figure out their methods. I believe that Ulta's system is very cheap (hence the consistent glitches...). Just as well that their marketing decisions are based on very rudimentary information and is more  randomized than one would believe. I'm trying to stick to a low-buy, so the less promos, the better. I hope the CS info helped you get your problems resolved. 

[niki172]

Darn I didn't get either of these. I kinda want the Norvina palette, but seeing how a lot of ABH palettes go on sale I've been hanging back.

[Indy701]

It would be interesting to know how they decide. I got the ABH one but I haven’t bought any ABH in at least a year (I like it but wait for the palettes to go on sale). The too faced one last month I would have used but didn’t get it. 

[ohheyitscindyk]

@RGbrown Didn't get them, either 😞 It's been a while since I've purchased from Cover FX, but I just bought ABH a couple weeks ago.

[PrettyPaint]

@RGbrown I didn’t get either one of these, and I’m pretty sure I’ve purchased both brands!

[itscarin]

@RGbrownIt's definitely not for lack of purchases.  I bought the soft glam palette sometime during the fall and the sultry palette in December.  I didn't get either of these multipliers either.  Aside from palettes, I don't really purchase ABH products. I've never purchased coverfx.
