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.

Lancome concealer is my Holly Grail the water proof one. Love the perfumes too.

[RGbrown]

Two new multipliers tonight!

I've only thought of Curel as a drugstore hand lotion...I had no idea they had a full skincare line. But Ulta has picked them up as their newest brand 😊

Lots of newness on the new arrivals page tonight, mostly fragrance gift sets. Ulta's holiday fragrance samplers for men and women are included in the new offerings!

[itscarin]

Wow that picture on the box is misleading. They have pictures of the minis or full sizes but based on the sizes hey are just vials. 

[RGbrown]

@itscarin 

I can't remember every single iteration of this set in the past, so I can't say for sure they've done this on all of them, but they sure seem to do it for many of them IIRC 🙄

[RGbrown]

Has anyone gotten one of the sampler packs in yet? My Tuesday order with one won't be in until next Thursday (ugh, I hate when stuff ships ground from CA to me 😐), but I'm super curious about what to expect. While a couple of iterations of these haven't been all that exciting, I generally find them to be pretty well done!

[redcliffe]

Here's mine. 10 samples + Kate Somerville freebie + Viktor&Rolf GWP. The eye gels ($4) qualified for the sample pack.

[bookwyrmm]

I got my sampler and it was mainly foundation/concealor and primer samples.

[RGbrown]

According to reports on Reddit, the 200pt/$25 bonus offer is multiuse, despite the "one time only" verbiage. 

Wish I had realized that earlier this week...I've been hemming and hawing about what to get and haven't even used it once yet. Off to remedy that now 😂

[MelBeez]

I saw this post last night at 11:50pm and had already done 1 order. I jumped right back on and ordered something else and got the 200pts again. thx @RGbrown for posting this! I didnt have time to thank you last night!

[redcliffe]

For future ref, the 200 bonus pts worked on 4 orders for me (gulp).  It stopped working on the 5th, and I am actually RELIEVED! lol  Gotta pace myself before all the holiday promos start.

[sephoraaddict918]

Ah, okay ... that's why I got so many bonus points when I went to Ulta yesterday to take advantage of the 5X on NYX. I always appreciate all those points, but I was so confused. LOL

[treestar86]

omg, really!?!?  damn, another bad time to be broke, haha. 😛

I guess it'd be pretty easy to check, but I haven't used it either (maybe someone else can try checking?).  but I'm hoping to get some of the body shop body butters that are half off. 🙂

[RGbrown]

There were three or four different folks that confirmed getting points more than once on Reddit, so I'm pretty confident in it. I just tried it myself and points showed up in my cart every time. 😊

Ulta seems to have dropped the daily order limit from 6 to 5 😯😖🤭

[treestar86]

neat!  yeah I was just wondering if maybe they'd figured it out by now...lol.

Got a haircut yesterday to take advantage of the 350 bonus points offer with a hair service. Total points earned 462. It’s been ages since I invested more in a haircut. I was tired of all the cheaper blah cuts so for the first time ever, I went for a top stylist. It was my first visit and my stylist was so sweet! She gave me a welcome gift and coupon to get 10% off the next visit! The Philosophy Purity cleanser and Londontown Kur polish (gorgeous fall color, photo doesn’t do it justice) are more mini sizes rather than deluxe! ❤️high quality freebies. Best experience ever with Ulta. Was close to giving up on haircuts with Ulta. I chose my stylist who came from a flagship store in the city (maybe why she seemed one notch above the rest with her expertise - I’ve always suspected that stylists from a big city are better trained) after reading a yelp review and looking at haircuts on her instagram. So happy and relieved with the outcome!😅

[sephoraaddict918]

So glad to hear about  your good experience with the hair service @yuline. I haven't used the hair service, but I have been to the Brow and Skin Bars several times, and I always have a excellent experience there. 

[yuline]

Thank you @sephoraaddict918 !! You are very sweet and your gifs make me laugh aloud every time. Laughter really is the best medicine especially on a gloomy day. It was a work in progress to find the right stylist. I’m grateful it worked out in time for the promo. It edged me closer to making diamond but it’s going to be a close call this year. Good to know you had a great experience with the Brow and Skin Bars. Going to check it out next for sure!!

[RGbrown]

New multiplier

[ohheyitscindyk]

According to @notcreative, there will be a 6pc gift with a $40 hair purchase next Tuesday, the 1st, & a 6pc Skinfatuation with $60 next Thursday, the 3rd 🙂

[quetzalina]

Any word on the Diamond bag, I think there was one last year on the first Tuesday of October? I sat out this last one and have points burning a hole

[ohheyitscindyk]

@quetzalina You're right, that Diamond bag came out on October 2nd last year on Perks Day. Interesting that it was a Tuesday. That was a 40pc with $175, so I guess we'll see what happens.

So the hair GWP coming next Tuesday makes me think Perks Day will be pushed back to the 7th this year.
