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.

Thank you @RGbrown  it's a really nice clutch, and I think it won't snag too badly either (the 3D bees) unless you're wearing something delicate/lacey *nudges anyone thinking about getting one gently* :D.

[Maria88]

Wow that really is beautiful!

[mezzotown88]

I couldn’t wait any longer ...I had the 20% coupon and saving up points for this!! So happy I bought this yesterday😁

[CAddis]

I did the same thing! Used it today for the first time and it was amazing! kept the curl for at least 8 hours. super easy to use.

[magda124]

woop!! let us know how you like it please... hahaha maybe I'll get it next year. 😁

[ohheyitscindyk]

@mezzotown88 Yay! Please let us know what you think of it 🙂

[Luvstravel]

@mezzotown88, Awesome purchase!

[Maria88]

I wanted to get one so bad but the version I got has been sold out =/

[RGbrown]

New multiplier

[alexalicious]

I really enjoy the Nurse Jaime face wrap and uplift roller so I'm curious to try more from the brand. Acure is a nice superfood-type clean brand that I used almost exclusively for years. Weleda skinfood is fantastic for elbows or dry skin concerns. Bummed to miss this multiplier, but it's cool to see one including those brands.

[amylynnez]

Not sure it matters now but there is a glitch on Ofra lippies. Add full priced lip to bag and then one that’s on sale and it will charge the sale price making the full priced one free. I’ve been trying to type this for an hour but it kept taking me to Sephora main page and that’s it. I had to delete the app to get it to work and let me post. Anyone else had this type of issue before?  Sorry I didn’t to post sooner but may still work, idk. 

[Imightneedthis]

I had that issue Sunday. I saw the Lancome gwp that wasn’t posted under gwps. I tried to post it here but it kept taking me to the Sephora page and stopping. It wouldn’t let me post. It was strange. I tried several times and then gave up!

[missp25]

Got my mystery bag & I'm quite happy. The Rituals dry oil is full size, $25 value. The lippies are buxom hot toddy & too faced queen b.

[Amakened]

Great gift bag, enjoy the Rituals, it's a nice scent!

[Luvstravel]

@missp25, That is nice. Hope that's in mine when it arrives 😊

[alexalicious]

ditto! omg that oil 😍

[magda124]

Hmmmm... so I was gonna buy the hubs a Clinique Men Moisturizer he likes for his bday this week and was hoping to get a GWP along with the multipliers. I'm so irritated I missed the GWP last Wednesday! 😫 Now I'm debating buying him something else for now and waiting for a better multiplier + GWP later on or cutting my losses and just getting the multipliers tonight but no GWP. Talk about first world problems hahaha.. I feel silly spending $40 and getting no GWP though. 😭 What would you guys do?

[alexalicious]

@magda124 Totally agree with @phantompenguinx If you have both multipliers that's at least 9x $40 = 360 points which have a value of $22.50 if you spend them in 2000-point increments. I usually spend $125 in points with the 20% off coupon or when there is day loaded with gwps like perks days or save it for one of those mega-spend big gwp bags if it that appeals to you. They are also good on salon services.

[alexalicious]

glad that helped @magda124 Just remember the points are worth substantially less if you spend them in smaller increments. As others have suggested in previous threads you can also opt to spend 1000 points (= $50) to get a smaller gwp or beauty break, you are giving up $12.50 in potential value when you do, but it's still a good option when you like the gwp and don't want to cash in $125 with of points.

[magda124]

@alexalicious Woah, when you put it like that, it's a no-brainer! Thank you.. I knew I could count on you guys to see the light!! 💗💕

[phantompenguinx]

@magda124 

I think it really depends on what you value more. Personally, I would do it if you have both the 5x multiplier and if you have the 5x clinique, because at least I know when I redeem my points it's for items that I use

I actually faced a similar dilemma and ended up going in store to buy a clinique item last week because 1. I am absolutely drowning in gwps and 2. I'm supposed to be on a "low buy" and didn't want to bulk up my order to get free shipping with items I didnt need to spend money on right now lol

I've also found it's hard to tell how old some gwps are so with my current collection of samples I needed to pass on more gwps...but if you do place your order today, i would wait until later in case there's a beauty break after dark 😉
