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.

Do we still think this is happening? The Cyber Monday GWPs that just went live are $80 buy-in. I currently have $34.98 in my cart. I could easily make it to $35, but not making it anywhere near $80.

[ohheyitscindyk]

@bookwyrmm It doesn't look like it, I'm thinking it was a mix up 😞

[MelBeez]

@ohheyitscindyk any clues as to if it will be platinum day? or will it be the following Monday? just planning my attack...

[ohheyitscindyk]

@MelBeez Looking at the spreadsheet, Perks Day was actually on a Wednesday last December. I'm going to guess this may be the case again this year or it will be pushed back to another day because I doubt they would do both Cyber Monday & Perks Day on the same day.

[RGbrown]

There's a new brand up tonight: Brooklyn & Bailey!

[alexalicious]

The fight is on! Ulta and Sephora are duelling for your dollars and these deals (up to 60%+) on multiple holiday items are up: UD, TF, SB, etc. Also that deluxe 8 PC @RGbrown posted earlier says today and tomorrow. Ulta stores are open later tomorrow so I'm wondering when black Friday deals might pop up online, possibly tomorrow? Does anyone know when they are typically up??? *if* so the 8pc *could possibly* still be around, but I wouldn't count on it. I'm tempted to wait because I agree with previous comments these have been very hit or miss.

[ohheyitscindyk]

@alexalicious Black Friday starts tomorrow at 4 p.m. CST online (5 p.m. in store), so maybe the mystery gift will still be around then!

[alexalicious]

@ohheyitscindyk thank you! My heart goes out to all those retail employees that have to work on Thanksgiving and don't get the time with friends and family.

[redcliffe]

Yes it is! 🙂 @alexalicious. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and I want to personally thank YOU for always posting great stacks and deals that you find and showing us your gwp’s. I am not often in the app but check this page through a browser. Many times I have secretly thanked you for enabling me to get a tremendous deal and become an even worse beauty addict LOL I am hands down giving my dollars to ULTA whenever possible. Ulta has won me over with it’s great, no BS rewards program.

[alexalicious]

@redcliffe aw thank you so much!!! 💖 I have the same gratitude for so many others in this group, and really for the group as a whole. It's so exciting to see all the great deal stacking, glitches, gwps, and sneak peaks. It's definitely not doing my wallet any favors, but such great fun!

[itscarin]

@alexalicious I'll have to give this round to Sephora because the items are on sale and don't require a promo code, meaning you can still get your 2 foil samples and then a little promo on top if you spend $25+.  It's a lower buy-in than the $60 Ulta mystery gift which could be hit or miss.

[alexalicious]

@itscarin don't know if you are a bite beauty fan, but they have lippies for $6.50 on Sephora right now. I also just picked up more Hudaobsessions palettes, I've never seen those 50% off!!! I'm thinking about doing a 2nd order on Sephora right now. +8% on topcashback

[missp25]

@alexalicious  Thanks for including the bite agave mask in your post.  I just bought them on Monday when they were the "daily special" at 50% off.  I will be buying some at 75% off and returning the others when I receive them.  

[itscarin]

@alexalicious @Just FYI the huda  stuff is cheaper on huda  direct. That palette is like $10 on her site as opposed to $16 on Sephora. 

[Buootiful]

True, thank you 🙂 @itscarin  Since the Ruby pallet is all I really want from Huda, I think it's worth it to get it at Sephora. 

On Huda's website it is 7.95 for shipping so, I am paying $6 more for the pallet but I am getting something else anyway with a sephora gwp. It helps soften the blow. 🙂

In my case it is the code CALMING YTTP cream for approx $7.00 value. OR code YOURGIFT with Tata Harper serum (approx $29.30 value) from another order I placed. 

Sephora

[alexalicious]

Thank YOU @itscarin 🙀

[missp25]

Rose gold gift bag - The daisy fragrance was an additional item in the bag. The NARS bronzer card was a sub for the NARS lipstick sampler.  The Ahava day cream was subbed with an Ahava foot cream.

[missp25]

Pictures of the lipstick sampler that was included in a second order with the gift bag.

[alexalicious]

For me this was the winner. I'm hoping mine will look as fabulous as yours @missp25, looks like you got all the goods!

[missp25]

@alexalicious - Fingers crossed for you! 

[alexalicious]

In the new items this stopped me in my tracks. Pretty sure I've just been killed by cuteness.
