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.

There's a new brand up tonight! 

Kinda excited to pick up one or two of these at some point, even though it's more than I like to spend on a candle when I can get BBW under $10 multiple times a year. But I'd love to compare the two...I recognize the Slatkin name in the description from some of the BBW scents ❤️

Topcashback users can combine bonus cash with the $10 off $40 coupon code. If you are a user, check your account or email for bonus offers.

[alexalicious]

Looks like this ones for the guys today. It's early hours but you can see some of the items by clicking the banner on the app. Not everything is showing up on sale yet so I'm guessing there is more coming, including some \"full-sized gifts\" My hubby LOVES that Duke Cannon aftershave balm and the cedarwood and sandalwood Every Man Jack stuff.

[RGbrown]

I believe everything on that page that isn't on sale is actually tied to a gwp offer (unless I missed something...entirely possible at this hour lol)

Skinfatuation is up! Pimprod2008759

[Christinaco]

Like many on this thread I have enough samples to last me and family a LONG time. I used to look at them as a reason to buy stuff (that if I'm honest) I didnt really need. Now I wait for 20% codes and points multipliers and if there's a freebie I'll take it of course, but I will not buy anything anymore just for free samples- all it does is make my bathroom cluttered, lol.

[lasweetvie]

Agreed!! I just donated a TON of samples to disaster relief in our area and it was a huge clutter weight off my shoulders... but of course, I still have a ton left for all those trips I’m not taking 😂

[itscarin]

@lasweetvie I can top that — I’m on a trip but forgot to pack the samples I’ve been hoarding for months. Uuuugh. 

[howconnie]

Yep, I have all I need right now. When I use up my stash, I prefer to shop in store so I can make sure my products are fresh.

[itscarin]

The non-beauty-break gwps have been much better than the normal beauty breaks. This looks like a good one but I’m still going to hold out for next Monday. 

[alexalicious]

Curious to see if they add a "step-up" item later, but otherwise these are all things I've already tried so it's one of the easier passes for me. I do like the coffee body scrub and skyn eye gels though.

[RGbrown]

Between this and tomorrow's Skinfatuation, I'm glad I've held off on using my bonus points offer. Guess I need to go build a cart!

ETA: Not funny, Ulta. The code doesn't work (yet...hopefully they'll fix it!)

[sephoraaddict918]

I am so upset this came AFTER I had already made an Ulta trip and spent $40!!

[treestar86]

me too! and the code is 90210!! lol 🙂

[Danzie89]

This still isn’t tempting me. I’m waiting for Monday! The points are a way better deal than $10 off $40 in the long run.

[alexalicious]

Ditto @Danzie89 if it included prestige I might have gone for it.

[Danzie89]

I agree! If it included prestige, I might have been sold!

[sarahshter]

does this exclude prestige brands too, looks like it, has anyone tried?

[Buootiful]

Yes 😞 I jumped on it to hopefully pay $30 for perfume but it doesnt work on Prestige brands @sarahshter

8pc skinfatuation gwp with $65 online purchase for tomorrow posted on dealstoogoodtopassup

[missdarcy]

I have a cart right now and I'm trying to decide if I should purchase now with the UD beauty break or not. I checked my email from the past two years and the third Monday in August the past two years was 10x points day (8/21 in 2017 and 8/20 last year). I'm assuming it'll be on a limited selection of stuff instead of everything. Any idea if Monday is likely to be a 10x points day and/or what it might include?
