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.

I would give CS a call. I know they were a huge life saver for me years ago when a Christmas present for someone seemed stuck at the warehouse and not going to make it. After I called CS, the warehouse immediately shipped it out in time. Not sure. Think I just read somewhere they changed something so you might not be the only one? This does happen on occasion anywhere. Even my last shipment with Sephora didn’t show movement for days until day before arrival (I suspect they had to transfer my order which had low stock from a different DC to fulfill it) whereas others shipped within 24-48 hours.

[gingerleigh]

thank you @yuline  🙂

[RGbrown]

Surprise deal added for tomorrow!

[itscarin]

Thank god. I’m running out of mine rn. Will definitely be picking one up

[RGbrown]

New multiplier!

[alexalicious]

Nice! @RGbrown I got a salon bonus point offer, guess it's a hint to spend those points on another hair service.

[RGbrown]

New deals added, tonight only!

(At least I assume tonight only since the late additions normally are. Someone really needs to give Ulta a calendar though, since somehow these are only good through last Friday 🤣)

[niki172]

Darn it I actually feel asleep last night and missed out on this 😔. I've heard good things about that Beauty Bakery oil too - oh well I'm sure I'll find something else to buy :P.

[alexalicious]

I think it's an oops, but the Funko Disney Villains brush sets are available online now. I'm debating getting a couple of pieces when the rest of this is available on 9/15 but can't find much about the quality, like is this kid makeup or the real deal?? "The products are being manufactured by Taste Beauty and will be available exclusively at Ulta Beauty online and in stores." Anyone have any experience with Taste Beauty products?

[AnneMCC]

I’ve purchased Taste beauty lip balms at Sephora previously and they were nice. I did not know they were doing makeup now.

[alexalicious]

New bonus points offer on UD foundation. Seems a pretty good deal potentially stacked with other multiplier. They should overlap through 9/14. If you are diamond you are getting $39 x 5.5 points =214 + 250bonus = 464, potentially worth $29 if redeemed as 2000 reward. There are also 3 deluxe gwps with $40 UD purchase at the moment. If you are quick the BB gwp is still up too.

[silliluci]

Ooh that is very tempting with the multipliers!

[alexalicious]

Ulta has been dropping a lot of items into clearance ahead of this year's holiday gifts launching. Saw a bunch of fragrance and nail items... clearance ending in $xx.97 I so didn't need these, but with the gwp, +5x and 50%+ off, I caved on some clearanced smashbox items. @RGbrown, you've got me curious about that soothing toner lotion with PHA, curious if I'll like it as much as the PTR unwrinkle toning lotion which is fabulous but I believe discontinued.

[RGbrown]

@alexalicious 

I hope you like the toner! In my giant stash of billions of samples, sadly toner is about the least frequent item we get, so I'm constantly buying new ones to try out. I've found several that are fine or ok or not bad, but this is the first one that has made my rebuy list. I love a good acid toner! 

[ohheyitscindyk]

@RGbrown @alexalicious Now I want to try the toner 😄

[alexalicious]

Another new one! What is up Ulta?! productId=pimprod2009349

[RGbrown]

9pc for $65 not good enough? OK, how's a 10pc for $65? No? Really? FINE, here's your 12pc gift with $65. I hope you're bleeping happy now!🌩️😤

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Oh Ulta, what are you doing? I am sincerely confused by two beauty breaks in one day. 🤔 As the piece count goes up, I do get slightly more interested lol. I said no more after yesterday, but now I'm feeling the pull again 😂 I think I can still walk away from this one pretty easily though🤞

[magda124]

Hahaha.. same! I did a double take when I saw the new email but I promised no more after Monday/Tuesday, when I fell to the temptation of getting both the Shiseido BB and the Skinfatuation set. 🤑 I was just looking at the new Sephora favorite kits (skin) and it dawned on me.. the big BBs and Platinum bags are basically Ulta favorite kits.. but free (with purchase, but still!). 🤔🤔🤔😃😃👍

[donnainca]

I was just wondering if anyone else had encountered this- I know that Ulta recently revamped their order confirmation emails and shipment notification emails. I had placed a few orders on Monday and have gotten the order confirmations, but not the shipment confirmations although they have been shipped. Normally points are added after the shipment notifications are sent. However since I've not received the shipment notification emails, the points from those orders have not been added to my account. I was wondering if it is something that will be added later on..

[MelBeez]

@donnainca I had noticed that too and on one particular order I even received my order and still hadn't gotten the points. I inquired about it and was told they drop the points after the shipment has left the warehouse or wherever and then it can take up to 72hrs after that to show up. My guess is they are being more cautious about that so people can't spend them and then suddenly the warehouse made a mistake and didn't have the item in stock. just my theory...but I still see my points eventually. just learning patience...lol!

[donnainca]

thanks @MelBeez!! That's good to know 🙂
