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.

@RGbrown The watermelon towel is so cute 🙂 I'm stocked up on suncare, but I'm tempted to make a purchase!

I didn't get that bonus points offer, but I got this multiplier instead:

[niki172]

I would have much rather had the multiplier, but I got the 350 bonus points with $50 purchase. Maybe it's because I'm hoarding my points?? I'm currently waiting for the next 20% off coupon.

[Lazybeautybeast]

I didn't get either multipler 😒 That's disappointing!

[MelBeez]

@ohheyitscindyk I got the same multiplier. The beach towel is uber cute! I'm hoping that Coola goes on sale again. I'm kicking myself hard for not buying when they were on sale for 1 day last week! ugh...why didnt I jump on it? I guess I thought it would last longer than a day! oh well...

[RGbrown]

@ohheyitscindyk 

Huh. The 350pts/$50 offer is better for a $50 purchase, but bonus offers are typically one-time use (although this one doesn't say it is, so hmmmm...), making the 4x better for larger (or multiple smaller) transactions. I think I'm vaguely offended, and will limit myself to one $50 purchase...

Which is better for my wallet anyways, so thank you Ulta 😂

I'm debating the beach towel myself. It's one gwp that I've never ever gotten for some reason, and this one is super cute. I think I have enough sunscreen for the year, but perhaps a little more won't hurt 😁

[ohheyitscindyk]

@RGbrown Hmm maybe the people in our lives need more sunscreen 😄

[RGbrown]

@ohheyitscindyk 

When I go to the list of items and sort by price, I see a veritable ton of lip balms included and am ready to add $25 of them to my cart. Never mind the 20+ in my drawer (and sadly that's not an exaggeration...if anything, it's a conservative estimate).

I need help 🤣🤣🤣

[ohheyitscindyk]

@RGbrown Ahh now I'm tempted! And I, too, have a drawer full of lip balms.

Edit: Perhaps we should start a support group.

[MelBeez]

Ohhh @RGbrown speaking of chapsticks, I picked up the Babo 15spf with tint and its awesome! Love wearing it at the pool! it works and keeps your lips looking pretty! Plus with the discount they had last week it was super affordable! I need another 2 or 5!

[MelBeez]

@RGbrown I wondered how their brand was. I also picked up the Origins bold lipstick. I love the color but the smell and taste (yeah I licked my lips just to see, lol!) leave you going...heh? plus no spf so it's just lipstick. I got it for a points boost. plus I've always wanted to try it. Babo is much better! I got the Plum rose and it's pretty!

[RGbrown]

@MelBeez 

Ack, what's the scent/flavor like on the Origins? I've had one on my loves list for a while now but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

ETA: read some reviews and it's rose. Nope, not for me. Yay, I can clear it off my list 😋

[RGbrown]

@MelBeez 

I haven't tried that one yet; thanks for the recommendation!

I've totally been digging on Ulta's spf30 balm lately; it's really nice for the price!

[RGbrown]

New gwp + step up (adds to cart automatically and seems to include pretty much all nail brands, 28 total)

And a new Fragrance Crush multiplier for the month

[niki172]

I own that bottle of Morgan Taylor glitter nail polish and it is so very pretty! It screams girly-girl glitter in a good way and is a great spring/summer color. Lasts a decent amount of time as well before chipping (I have acrylic nails so I only do pedicures). It's a great topper too on darker colors as well in case anyone was on the fence :).

[alexalicious]

Wow, I actually WANT to try all those things out and like all the polish colors they included. Good job Ulta! Really, really hope this one comes true to it's description.

[alexalicious]

@RGbrown that's so crazy, but looking at the picture, that bottle does look incomprehensibly small!? If that's the case, I'll probably dislocate several fingers before getting that open. I wish more nail polish companies were thoughtful about their bottle and cap designs.

[RGbrown]

@alexalicious 

The microscopic bottle of Seche Vite is frustratingly tiny...after about three uses, the polish is too low to get enough on the brush in one dip without using two hands to tilt the bottle, but it dries so quickly that multiple dips into the bottle isn't always ideal either. It's a good product, but if I never see a mini bottle again, I'll be content 😋 

[RGbrown]

New multiplier

[MelBeez]

@RGbrown I knew I held off buying that new dark spot remover that was in my basket today for a reason! This was it! Yes! For once the Gods are working with me!!!! ha!

[MelBeez]

Monday will be Diamond/Platinum day right? Supposedly? I hope it's good. Anyone that got that the email with the extra "bonus points", mine was 100, I've seen some 200's as well, make sure to use those by Monday. I read the fine print on it today and they expire June 2nd. Use or lose! Thought I would throw that out there in case anyone, like me, didn't read the full email and went immediately to their account to see if it was real! lol!!! Of course only use if it makes sense JMHO// PSA over... 😉

[Gemini619]

Have there been any spoilers about the offers for tomorrow’s Platinum Perk Day?
