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.

Nov/Dec bday gifts, courtesy of Reddit

I try and be upbeat about the gifts, but dang, Feb babies got screwed with that NYX lipstick. I even would have preferred Jan's Ulta eyeshadows, but I do agree that was another disappointing selection in what turned out to be a year of mostly prestige brands. 

[rbkh]

Feb babies get the worst offer...EVERY year. Someone over there doesn't like Aquarians, lol 🙂

Nothing interesting except for Sheamoisture but I need bath stuff, not hair stuff 😞

My Diamond code NEUTROGENA: 4JE3Z12Y29

My Diamond code DRA BRANDT this is too high of a buy-in: 4JE4Z13G6M

Thanks for the new gwp! @ohheyitscindyk 

[CAddis]

Someone used the Dr. Brandt code. Very kind of you to share 🙂

[ArmyChick84]

I feel silly asking this questions because point calculation has been talked about ad nauseum here... October is my birthday month, so 2X the points. I am Diamond so I get 4X the points thanks to the bonus offer sent out. How many points will I get getting exactly? How many will I get if I buy something that is 5X the points on top of the ones I above? Thank you!

[itscarin]

@ArmyChick84 

So you get:

base points (this is the first 1x of every multiplier and the reason subsequent multipliers will be knocked down by -1)

.5x for being diamond (base)

1x for your bday

3x for being diamond

and 4x on Lancome (if that's the multiplier you're thinking of).

If you buy a lancome item, you will get 1.5x (base) + 1x + 3x + 4x = 9.5x for lancome

For non-lancome you will get 5.5x

Happy bday month!

[Loretta55]

Thank you for asking this question @ArmyChick84. My birthday is also in October. I am hoping that Ulta will give me the September birthday gift because I do not use dry shampoo.

[ShortErica]

Good luck @Loretta55. Hopefully they will have something else you will enjoy. I gave my January eyeshadow to a cousin because I don't use it. I've found the January gifts in general have been lackluster. I guess it's free but still disappointing. Let us know how it goes.

[Loretta55]

Hopefully I could get the September gift which was a deluxe sized Nars Lipstick @ShortErica. I will be donating the Neutrogena creme because I am slowly transitioning to products that my Sephora BA recommended during the Perk Hydra Facial.

[ShortErica]

Glad those product recommendations are working for you @Loretta55. It's awesome finding winners that you can count on especially with skincare.

[Loretta55]

Her advice has helped to lessen my milia @ShortErica . Also some of them have shrunken in size and the largest milia broke last week with minimal scarring. The Perk Hydra Facial is in my opinion one of the best benefits that Sephora offers because in any spa that service is between $150.00 - $200.00 plus tip. You are only required to purchase in store $75.00 minimum.

[iwantitfree]

I have never heard of this facial.  Can you explain the program please?  Thanks.

[itscarin]

@iwantitfree I can tell you from personal experience it’s not recommended for pregnant women. I scheduled an appointment and was turned away when I showed up pregnant. 

[Loretta55]

This is one of many services that Sephora offers @iwantitfree . That service is offered in select stores and it requires a $75.00 purchase. Depending on the SA’s availability you could either make an appointment via the app or walk ins are available. Highly recommended!

[ShortErica]

Next time I have a big purchase I'll have to remember this. Thanks @Loretta55!

[Loretta55]

I plan on having it done prior to my Devacurl service monthly @ShortErica. I even did the calculation that if I may the minimum purchase also with my Monthly Play Bag, I would still qualify for Rouge. This is a win win solution for me and my SA is a licensed esthetician so I am confident that I am receiving the best advice.
