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.

You’re welcome @Ispend2much6! They hd plenty of the oil and cleanser at my store. No sunscreen though. Good luck!

@eshoe 

Thank you for the info!

You’re welcome @gonerogue !

Julep and LG's parent company filed bankruptcy in December. Last month Julep abruptly ended their subscription boxes. So, if you like either brands, I'd stock up on products now. 

I heard a rumor both are being pulled from Ulta stores too, apparently. Though, I do see both of them in the 21 days sale. I loved a lot of their products, but I can't bring myself to buy from them after the mess they made with Julep subs.  Hopefully, they can pull out of this mess. 

[quspork]

Yup- filed bankruptcy, cancelled the Maven program, and erased subscribers rewards points. I'm still a little salty, so even though I've loved a lot of Julep products over the years, they won't be getting any more of my money. 

[gonerogue]

@quspork 

Thanks for the update! I’m very sad to see this happening to Julep but I guess now will be a good time to stock up on all my favs before they disappear 😞

[Ispend2much6]

@Jaxinthebox21   That's good to know.  I love those Baked Iconic lipsticks, and her entire site is 50% off, at least through tonight, with the code "semi50."

[Pochay]

how good is it? been sittin in my cart for awhile now. still thinkin if its worth to try. 😊

[RGbrown]

I noticed all Julep is 50% off (and all LG is 30% off). Both were recently having financial issues and were bought out...I hope it's not a bad sign...I like both brands and hope they stick around! 

[ABC345]

@RGbrown, I noticed that too, and grabbed an oil, just in case... LG Blushes are on the Bot Buys list for 21 days of beauty, in case you need more 🙂 

[RGbrown]

@ABC345 

I had put a couple of the Julep cleansing oils in my cart this morning, but wasn't motivated enough to pull the trigger. Now they're sold out. Womp womp...

The LG blushes are nice! Love the Gelato highlighters too 💖

The Surprise Sample Pack that came with my order: Too Faced Tutti Frutti Dew You Foundation BareMinerals Skinsorials Infusion and Eye Cream BareMinerals GenNude Patent Lip Laquer Lorac Light Source Primer Dusk and Dawn Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Clinique Custom ID Jelly Tarte Double Duty Beauty First Step Prep

[Buootiful]

What a disappointment @sephoraaddict918 ! I'ts just samples that any other department store would include automatically in an order. Nothing Special. Plus, all of these had bad ingredients except for the Tarte Moisturizer and Bareminerals Lip sample. These are going in the trash.

But, I love the 4x points for the @Lancome L'Avbsolu Lacquer in Beige Sensation! I tried on the color and it looks so juicy and natural on the lips, I love it. Will have to test the wear time for this later on. 🙂

[sephoraaddict918]

Yeah, I wasn't expecting too much since the buy-in was so low @Buootiful. It was nice to get samples with my order though.

[Indy701]

@Buootiful They were okay; they were free with any purchase for this reason I guess.  I give mine to coworkers with teens or donate to a women’s shelter. Someone always seems to want them.

I'm so excited seeing all of the cannabis/CBD skincare coming out! Having come from Colorado I had friends making this type of stuff and loved the soothing, inflammation reducing and pain relieving properties. It's been tough to find in the midwest so I am super curious to try out some of these products. If only there was a sampler... future skinfatuation???

[KemoLove]

Just wanted to share a little bit of positive GWP redemption experience! I jumped on the 6pc Deluxe Sample Mystery Bag with $40 online purchase (w/ Ulta Credit Card) at the end of Feb. The bonus being that you didn't have to own the Ultamate Rewards Credit Card for it to work! The curation in the pic had nothing in what I received, but still loved it and I had picked up 5x bonus points by purchasing the Carolina Herrera Good Girl Parfum. Less than week later, I redeemed the Platinum Perk for the Kate Spade Tote w/ $35 fragrance purchase & grabbed Too Faced Tutti Fruiti palette for half off. For some reason the Clinique Happy Gelato Body Cream ($36) counted as fragrance? Also qualified me for two additional Clinique GWPs which were free w/ $35 Clinique purchase. Score!

~~P.S. When did the option to pick a sample packet with purchase go away? Not that I really ever received any at all when requested, but still wondering!~~

[Indy701]

@KemoLove  I really like that tote. I wish there were more totes that didn’t require perfume purchases as I can’t wear most perfumes and my mom can only wear so much (she’s also getting that Herrera set). 

My mystery bag looks like yours. I love that it had FAB lotion as I need all of that I can get in the winter. 

Around October/November the sample at checkout went away.  They started doing a lot of GWPs around the same time.
