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.

+ 115 points. You have to play with the quantities of the Clinique and Mac. Spent $25.71 to get all this. There were several other gwps with any purchase so it's worth a scroll through.

[treestar86]

wowza...I'm glad I skipped other gwp's lately, bc I think this is the greatest gwp order ever! (for me anyway, lol).  couldn't resist the gorgeous elemis gift, and my first sunday riley item! looking forward to trying it... 🙂

[itscarin]

@treestar86 Damn, you hit the nail right on the head with $125!  Way to go!

[treestar86]

@itscarinthanks! (plus $.50...lol.) 😉

[Alicehoopz]

Wow that is a beautiful order. Juno is fantastic btw! I'm eyeing the Elemis myself but have no experience with the brand

[Loretta55]

I have tried a couple of the Elemis products @Alicehoopz. I purchased the Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm when Ulta offered a daily deal during Skinfactuation. I feel that the Clinique Cleansing Balm is just as good as the Elemis Balm. The product that I do like is the Frangipani Monoi Oil . I originally purchased that when I was aboard a cruise ship many years ago. It really helped to moisturize both my hair and body. The only thing that I am not happy about is that it is contained inside of a bottle. The scent is wonderful but I am trying to work through my massive skincare collection before making any additional purchases.

[itscarin]

@Alicehoopz I don't have experience with the brand either but my very picky skincare friend recommends their sunscreen which Ulta doesn't carry.  😕  I hope the carry the sunscreen soon.

[treestar86]

they do have a cream w/spf, but it's pretty pricey. 😞

[treestar86]

thank you! 😛  yes I was looking for something around $30 and was pleased to find the oil, it looks nice and can't wait to try it.  I don't either, other than a superfood kit that I got but haven't tried yet, and I also got some other items when they had a different gwp last week...but they seem to have good reviews and I like their plant-y-ness, so I hope they're good. lol 🙂

I have a code for the ABH Brow Wiz if anyone is interested in using it. Please PM me and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can! Update: Code has already been claimed!

[RGbrown]

Here are the rest of the deals from the email. We are back to needing a code for the Diamond gift.   ...and the mascara samplers are already OOS? Really? 😮

[ArmyChick84]

MAC really wants to get rid of those palettes, don't they? Lol

[savvy4]

[savvy4]

The palette is free with any MAC purchase. Thanks usgwp. 

[KNC24]

@RGbrown I had them in my cart waiting on the email. Was adding the brow wiz and got the oos alert. Now I don’t want my cart lol

[itscarin]

@KNC24 Can't believe it went OOS so soon.  My instincts were right though -- I placed the order before I left for work.  Hold onto your cart because there's a good chance they'll do another round of platinum exclusive GWP later tonight.  At least that's been the trend I've been seeing.

[alexalicious]

Same. Both mascara sets oos minutes after I got the email. Meh

[RGbrown]

@KNC24 

Yeah, same. I'm ultra-bored with today's offerings overall, and the mascara gwp going OOS is just the icing on my "not gonna buy" cake lol

[greeneyedgirl107]

@RGbrown Nothing is speaking to me, either.  Last year I remember getting 10x the points on items - am I getting this sale confused with another one?

[RGbrown]

@greeneyedgirl107 

That's later in the month; should be Monday the 19th if they follow last year's calendar. 😊

[greeneyedgirl107]

As always, thanks for the info @RGbrown !
