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.

@ohheyitscindyk  @RGbrown  yes, it's even more confusing...the one that I posted from today said it was both days as well.

[RGbrown]

Helpful tip if you're planning on being early to the BeautyFest...Ulta updated store hours online when they made the announcement, so don't be thinking that you need be there an hour before whatever is listed.

We were here before the store employees 🤦 

ETA: from today's email, the BeautyFest coupon offer should be available online as well. 

[alexalicious]

I got a $10 off $10, in-store only and valid thru 11/22. The samples were literally packets or fragrance and they were doing a 1 piece grab out of a bag every 30 min or so. Nothing to get excited over. the coupon for $10 off $50 has a unique code, came with $40+ purchase. That Florence packet was my sample.

[SportyGirly125]

@RGbrown I noticed they changed the hours online and went to yelp to confirm regular hours 

[itscarin]

@RGbrown Did you get any free samples?

[RGbrown]

@itscarin 

At the first store, yes, they had an employee with a bag of stuff, and we could pick something from it. I picked out a DS of tgin leave in conditioner, one sis got a 3pk of boscia sake eye masks, and the other sis got an elf lip tint and makeup bag. The bag of samples wasn't terribly interesting for the most part, but we were early in line and had the best selection. It was mostly perfume samples and concealer cards and other common (boring) gwp stuffers.

Since there were no more than 10 folks at the first store, we are on our way to a second right now 😋

ETA: second store had samples as well; the manager was walking around just handing out random items from it. One sis got a Wet Brush!

Forgot to mention earlier, the first store was handing out the 10off50 with any purchase as well, even though it's supposed to be with a $40 purchase. 👍

All in all, it has been a fun morning! Sure, you're probably gonna get $5, but that's 5 free tweezers or other Sweet & Shimmer items lol. And attendance has been extremely low, at least here...I could probably hit both of my other stores this afternoon and still get coupons. If you've got some free time, swing by and see what you get 😊

[greeneyedgirl107]

@RGbrown So cool that you hit up two stores - and could've gone to others!  🙂

[Luvstravel]

Thanks @itscarin for posting about the in store let down. I saw this Benefit palette pop up last week and today they have the cute cosmetic bag, so no need for me to go in the store 🙂

[itscarin]

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BE THE FIRST HUNDRED PPL IN LINE. i just saw on Instagram the fabulous swag is a $5 coupon and a 30% off coupon for services. Allegedly there’s a gwp for $40 or more but I haven’t seen that yet. 

thank you so much to the person who posted their experience on ig. Saves me from fomo and a 40 min rt drive. 

check out the insta @curlycomedynailart

[bratknits]

My sister only got $5 off, my BIL on the other hand got $100 off. They're bringing me the Naked Honey palette. They pass ulta on their way here so I told her last night to give it a try on their way over, so it was worth it in Manchester, NH.

[yuline]

$100? What? Just my luck. I couldn’t make it or I would’ve hit up every Ulta possible. I don’t get jealous easily but I am GREEN this time🤢

[treestar86]

don't feel bad @yuline , most people only got $5.  I was gonna go on sun. too, but after braving the crowds lol and constantly being asked if I was finding everything ok, I just wanted to leave and then didn't really feel like going back since I'd probably only get $5 anyway.  I even took pics to enter the contest, but then didn't even enter cuz I was so tired and annoyed lol.

[yuline]

@treestar86 Thanks for the consolation!!!  It definitely made me feel better.  Sometimes I have to make sure FOMO doesn’t get the best of me and remind myself of all the times that I got unbelievable deals especially at Ulta ☺️

[bratknits]

Looks like it also came with $100 off $100 for services so it looks like highlights are in my future.

[treestar86]

@bratknits  😮 $100 off what!?

[bratknits]

$100 off $100. Essentially $100 gift card in coupon form. I'm a little amazed the women in line didn't strangle him for getting the big one. 

[treestar86]

wow...my relatives are coming down also, I was trying to get them to go but since there are no girls, I didn't think they would, but now...

[itscarin]

@bratknits @After you thank him, can you strangle him for the rest of us?!  🤣🤣🤣. Each store has a $100 card and there are other denominations. I know there’s a $10, and I’ve heard there would be a $20 and $50 as well, but o think 90% of the people are going to get $5. 

[bratknits]

The woman at checkout told him that there was only 1 $100 coupon. My jaw hit the floor when the got here and handed me the other half with the $100 off services on it. I booked highlights for tomorrow morning first thing so sis and I can check out tomorrow's deals. For THAT I'll drive the half hour.

[bratknits]

And tah-dah highlights on ulta with the coupon. Hubby grabbed a quick photo for me before the snow started. They were having giveaways again in the store today, was the same as yesterday.
