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.

Yes, the good old days, where you would get Full size Bareminerals moxie lip gloss for your bday. 🙂 Last year was  a mascara that I don't use and I dont remember if it was a full size either @itscarin 

[Ispend2much6]

That same philosophy led to Birchbox's decline.  I don't know if they are actually making a profit or depending upon investors still.

[bratknits]

They're banking on the Kardashian deal to bail them out, not gonna work.

@bratknits I know a lot of people like the Kardashians.  My husband is one of them.  😕  I have no time for their nonsense.  I find them uninteresting and over-butchered (too much plastic surgery).  I would never buy any of their products because to me they are the embodiment of the death of meritocracy.  Furthermore, every review of their products seems to hint at the same thing: cheaply made goods that are over-prices for what they are.  I'm not interested in janky products.  There's too many amazing products out there to waste my time, money, or space, on garbage.

[Ispend2much6]

Here here!  Tell it like it is @itscarin!  To each his own, but I agree.  

[Buootiful]

I concur!! @itscarin and @Ispend2much6

Just added!

(And hopefully more folks actually got the email this time...I did)

[RGbrown]

Skinfatuation is up!

Pimprod2009798

The Shiseido beauty break is also still available for the moment 😊

[phantompenguinx]

what do we think the chances are that this will still be around if there's a beauty break tomorrow??

[Ispend2much6]

@phantompenguinx   They already took it down around 1 a.m. EST.

[phantompenguinx]

thanks @Ispend2much6 ! i ended up putting in my order yesterday and im glad i did, the serums are more interesting to me that the bb that's out today 🙂

[ohheyitscindyk]

@phantompenguinx The details say it's only available today, so I think they'll pull it before tomorrow's BB goes live.

[phantompenguinx]

thank you @ohheyitscindyk !!

i didn't see the date on the email, but looking on the product page i see it, tricky tricky ulta lol

[alexalicious]

Sweetness I love when they have multiple offers up! I really didn't needanything from the deals 9/10, so being able to still grab Mondays offers made it doable. Thanks!!!

[ChanChanMakeup]

I'm so jealous.. I wished I knew there was a time when both were up... I liked both freebie items.. have been a Sheseido fan since early teens .. I guess I will settle for just the skinfactuation freebie!

[niki172]

@alexalicious nice!  I got that balm on Monday and I'm really excited to try it out.

[niki172]

Thanks @RGbrown ! Got a nice little score plus the 5x for 364+ points (I used my Ulta CC so there's points on the back end as well) makes this a great haul! The only thing I didn't need is the eyeshadow palette so I'm pretty happy with myself.

@niki172 

Nice haul!

I grabbed my favorite Exuviance items. Hadn't planned on picking these up until closer to the holidays, but points + sale + 2 gwps was just too much to ignore 😂

[niki172]

@RGbrown oooohh nice! I've heard great things about their toning lotion. I needed the volumizer, and it was a sale price so might as well stock up a bit. I've never tried the DHC oil, but have heard great things about it, and I'm having a hard time finding something that will take off my makeup without irritating my skin especially if it's done 2x's in 1 day. After several (and I do mean several) attempts to find something that works the only method I've found so far is using bioderma sensibio and cotton pads and that gets a little pricey when you add up using both products. Plus I don't just use up 1 large cotton round usually, and sometimes depending on if my face is really sensitive ATM, I have to use the Shiseido cotton. So yeah trying to find something a bit more economical :P.

[RGbrown]

@niki172 

Aside from the heavy olive oil smell (which I don't mind, but some folks can't stand), it's a nice oil cleanser. I've got a mini in use now, and might have considered buying a full size if I didn't have a massive stash of other stuff in line behind it lol. I hope it works out for you...I know how skincare costs can pile up so quickly.

I really like this toner! It's a gentle acid toner (PHA), alcohol free, and fairly economical for the size, especially on sale. At 200mL, it's a good deal bigger than many toners in the same price range. So happy to grab another on sale!

If you shop with cashback apps, Ibotta was the best deal I could find. 7% fyi- Ibotta can be fussy about coupons sometimes and won't always work if you use one.
