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.

I’m so tired of this mess! One minute it shows available and the next it’s gone. I’ve been trying to check out for the past two hours. I’m just done! 

The past couple of orders I made the gwp sold out and I never received them. Ugh! And then I feel silly contacting customer service for a missing gwp. 😞 

[MelBeez]

@RGbrown was gonna do this but then said nah... I'm still holding out for that great one they posted last night! lol! talk about teasing a gal! yeesh!!

[RGbrown]

@MelBeez 

Yeah, I think I'm holding off for a bit too...wasn't planning on spending $40 on Spring Haul stuff, so I'm twiddling my thumbs while I hope for something else to come along 🤞

[makeitup305]

I'm torn between the NARS - Exposed Cheek Paletteand the BENEFIT COSMETICS - The Cheekleaders Cheek Palette.Thoughts? Also, has anyone tried the Tarte Face Tape foundation? I want to make my cart big enough to cash in 2000 pts.

[danyellpitts]

I’ve been LOVING my Bronze Cheekleader palette! I also like NARS products but I find benefits powders are more pigmented and the pan size is normally larger. I highly recommend the Cheekleader palette, it’s my new go-to palette. I use it every day! In the picture I’m attaching I even used it on my eyes (it’s not certified eye safe, but I’ve never had a problem!)

[Ashletta216]

Sorry. I thought you were talking about the new Nars palette.

[MelBeez]

ohhhh is it? the orgasm one? if so I'm with you there! I just can't do cream face pallets. I have combo skin but I get oily in just the wrong places for that. bummer! then go for benefit! I mean not trying to tell you what to do, but if its between those two then yeah benefit. or....what about the new Too Faced one? are you looking for more blushes/highlighters or contouring?

[makeitup305]

@MelBeez  the one they have at ulta is the blush and highlight palette similar to the one they released during the holidays. Sephora has the new NARS - Endless Orgasm Palettewhich is a cream blush/highlight palette.

[Ashletta216]

Well, maybe you realized this, because, I did not, but the Nars is a cream, multi use palette, if that makes any difference to you. I thought I wanted it, until I saw a video of it. With my oily skin, I am going to have to pass.

[makeitup305]

@Ashletta216 I was interested in the new Orgasm cream palette until I saw reviews, it seems like some of the shades are kind of glittery which isn't my preference. The 

NARS - Exposed Cheek Paletteis a baked product, it's got kind of mixed reviews which is why I’m holding back.

[RGbrown]

@makeitup305 

I wonder how similar it is in formula to the holiday one? I don't have this newer one, but I do have Hot Tryst, and reading a few reviews, I kinda get the feeling they might be close. If so...I found brushes to be nearly useless for all but one shade (one of the highlighters is fine with a brush), but the shades apply stunningly with a finger, and blend out really well. I've actually really enjoyed using the palette, once I figured out how to use it.

[makeitup305]

@RGbrown I didn't buy the holiday one but I have heard they're kind of hard to pick up. I want to try and see if some of my scratchier brushes do the trick. I love most of the shades in this one, especially the one in the top right.

[RGbrown]

It definitely has some gorgeous shades in it...if I hadn't gotten the holiday one, I'd be eyeing this one for sure!

[MelBeez]

@makeitup305 Ohhh..... have you tried either brand? Both? I am partial to Nars myself, but that could be because I have all the Benefit cheekies already with exception to the new ones that came out recently. What about buying the mini-cheek by benefit and see if they have any of the Nars blush/bronzers on sale in the buy 3 get 1 section? I have no idea if they do but worth a shot. That new Nars pallet tho...I'm loving it! the looks that is, I haven't sprung for it yet but you may have inspired me to do so! good luck on that decision and let us know what u decide!!!

[makeitup305]

@MelBeez I have one of the benefit big palettes and a bunch of Nars products but I like so many of the shades in both of these palettes it's hard to pick.
