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.

Speaking of Gorgeous Hair, here's the first spoiler! Print ad, found on Reddit 😊

[Luvstravel]

@RGbrown, Thanks for posting!

[Loretta55]

Thank you for posting this @RGbrown. This only confirms that I have way too many hair products. I have been using my jumbo sized Devacurl products since 1St quarter 2018 and feel that every time I think I am making progress using them up, I feel that they are just as full as ever. 

The only hair product that I am making progress getting thru is the Wakemaker. I use a full sized tube every other month.

[sephoraaddict918]

Thanks for the sneak peek @RGbrown!! 

[niki172]

Ughhhhh that picture for the Kenra shampoos just confirms my worst fears - they are reformulating all of their shampoos. I got the "new and improved" formula in their volumizer line and it makes my hair feel like a greasy mess. I guess it's time to drive around like a mad woman and pick up bottles of the old formula while I can. I hate it when companies mess with formulations that have been out for years and people are buying your products.

[RGbrown]

@niki172 

Uuuugh, I hate it when that happens! I went through the same a few years ago, and I scoured the city for as many old bottles as I could find.

I combat it now by keeping 4-5 different shampoos and conditioners in my shower and being loyal to nothing 😂😂😂

[niki172]

@RGbrown I wish I could have 4-5 brands in rotation. I have a really hard time finding shampoo that works with my hair. Before using Kenra I used Tressemma. When they changed formulas I went to every drug and grocery store buying up bottles. I wound up with 32 bottles, but at least I was good for a while 😂.

[RGbrown]

@niki172 

Start cracking open some samples...you might be surprised! That's what I did when I started running low on my beloved Nexxus, and I've been surprised that more works for me than I would have thought possible. I still have half a bottle or so of both the Nexxus shampoo and conditioner in my shower as a fall back, but haven't touched them in a while.

I'm considering going steady with Wella Fusionplex now...it's miles above anything else I've tried in the last couple of years. I really want to finish all the other stuff I have open first though...and I'm also a little scared of the heartbreak any future reformulation may bring, so I guess I'll be keeping my options open for now 😋

Thanks for the sneak peek, @RGbrown .  Now if only they'd put the Drybar buttercup dryer on sale, haha.

[sephoraaddict918]

Have any of our lovely Ulta sleuths heard anything about a Fall Gorgeous Hair Event? According to the spreadsheet, the event happened September 30 to October 20 in 2018.

[alexalicious]

@sephoraaddict918 dealstoogoodtopassup posted this on her blog: October 6-26.

[sephoraaddict918]

Thanks @alexalicious!! 

[RGbrown]

New multiplier, and choice of three (repeat...again) gwp. There are also several brand-specific hair gwps to stack, if'n any of them interest you. 

Gwp pimprod2006940, -6941, and -6942

ETA:

Sneak peek at this month's Skinfatuation...IIRC, the corresponding gwp should be coming Thursday (and I am here for it!!!!) ❤️

[alexalicious]

The skinfatuation looks pretty good! The Tarte Maracuja is a long time staple in my travel bag. It's great for hair flyaways, any dry skin, dry lip or cuticle issues, layered over my nightime skincare, or even as stubborn makeup remover in a pinch. I'm super curious about that elemis cream-oil, hope that's included.

[alexalicious]

Too bad the Dr Brandt went oos stock earlier. Thanks for the tips on the items that worked on both the makeup and skincare gwps @milliesfriend and @RGbrown. Just wish I would have caught these threads earlier, didn't expect perks day to be today.

[Loretta55]

This has to be a first. My tracking number states that estimated arrival date of the order that I placed about 15 hours ago is tomorrow. My order is being delivered by Laser Ship.

 I am proud to also state that I did not place a second order this afternoon because of the additional GWPS.

[missp25]

Here are my codes, if any one wants them.

Neutrogena - 4JE3Z833EK

Dr. Brandt - 4JE4Z831YU

[redcliffe]

Used the Neutrogena. Thank you for sharing yours!

[MelBeez]

I'm not going to use either diamond code today. please reply if and what was used dr brandt: 4JE4Z3HHH9 neutrogena: 4JE3Z3H4KA enjoy!

[alexalicious]

@MelBeez thank you for posting your codes! Big thanks 💖💖💖 to those who generously pass those codes along and help others. I was debating placing an order and saw it go oos right around or after you posted it. I meant to post that on the group just to give folks a heads-up.

[alexalicious]

just a heads up: Dr Brandt is OOS now
