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.

According to the spreadsheet, this is right in line with 2019, correct?

[ohheyitscindyk]

@civ2ru Yup, that's correct 🙂

[civ2ru]

@ohheyitscindyk That spreadsheet is sure handy. Thanks to all the devoted beauties who help moderate it! ☺️

Edit: As a side note, I noticed a slight and very recent price increase on many IT products. $0.50 here, $1 there, even $2. Must be feeling popular.

This afternoon I received the 30 Piece Skincare Sampler (with $70 skincare purchase from last week) and thought I’d post what my particular sampler contained - especially since this GWP is available once again.

It’s pretty much the same assortment that @alexalicious got, except I didn’t get a Becca primer, did get an Ulta mask (only Strawberries & Champagne instead of Oxygen), and got a Curel lotion and cream duo. I can live with all the substitutions; the most disappointing is perhaps The Route The Girlfriend Skin-Loving Glow Primer Mini (0.27 oz) replaced with a 0.07 oz packet. Considering this item is worth $14.5, I wasn’t thrilled to get downgraded there.

The bag also included a 30% coupon for skin services, just like @alexalicious reported, but it’s notable that the expiration date on that coupon is 2/1/20. So if you get this bag with an order this week and you’re interested in the skin services, hope the package doesn’t take too long to get to you. Or maybe go ahead and book your reservation now?

Lastly... Even after I’ve laid out all the goodies on the counter, I had a little bit of a “I spent $70 to get this?” aftertaste... Just wasn’t as wowed with it as I thought I’d be. But as I was able to stack some other discounts and GWPs on this order overall, the skincare bag itself was just a cherry on top. So I can’t complain.

Happy shopping!

[alexalicious]

Check your snail mail! I received a 20% off today like @writtenonpaiges mentioned a few days ago. I'm not seeing an expiration date on this one but the postal delivery date is supposed to be 1/15-1/17. This might be good timing for those excited for one of those pricy brands on sale today or those who were wondering when that next 20% was coming. @RachelMartin10

[civ2ru]

Getting one of these too! Gotta love USPS informed delivery daily digest (and Ulta). Psyched!

[writtenonpaiges]

Yay! This is great news:). On mine I saw 2/1/20 being the expiration date but I should double check just in case:)

[RGbrown]

New multiplier!

I was sad, but not terribly surprised, to see that Exuviance isn't on the list 😋

[treestar86]

of course this had to come right after my 5x anniversary pts. ended (in which I ordered some mario items), hahaha.  😞  guess I shouldn't be mad since it's the same amount of pts., but would have been nice to combine them...

[sephoraaddict918]

I feel you @RGbrown! I was sad when I saw the Dermalogica bonus ends before the Precleanse goes on sale. 

[MelBeez]

@RGbrown at least you got one. I didn't. I'm on Ulta's naughty list! lol! 🤪🤭✌💜😘

[civ2ru]

Ralph Lauren GWP is out of stock

[RGbrown]

But the $70 skincare gwp came back 🤪

[civ2ru]

@RGbrown I wonder, if I waited until midnight CT for the Exuviance beauty steal, whether the Sunday Riley GWP and 10% Rakuten might still stick around? Already have the skincare gift coming... Thoughts?

[RGbrown]

@civ2ru 

The rakuten timer is telling me it'll end at 2am central. As for the beauty break, it's a bit of a wild card. They generally stick around until 2am Central, regardless of the advertised midnight ending (unless they go oos, and SR might just be popular enough to sell out before then).

I know I'll be ordering as soon as midnight rolls around 😁

ETA: and as of 1050 central, SR is OOS. 😥

[civ2ru]

@RGbrown  And... Sunday Riley out of stock also. I see you saw that too. So much for waiting. Looks like the cash back is the only remaining reason to order at midnight. Chances for another GWP tomorrow, slim? And do you think Exuviance itself may sell out during the day? That would be cruel... 😉

[RGbrown]

@civ2ru 

Considering we had two gwps today, and knowing there should be a beauty break on Wednesday, and then Skinfatuation on Thursday, I'd guess any chance for a gwp tomorrow is slim. But...what do I know? Ulta still surprises me frequently 😋

It's not often that I don't convince myself to wait, but I'm still going for Exuviance at midnight. It's a true love for me, so I don't want to risk it going OOS. 

[civ2ru]

@RGbrown I went for it too. So if there is indeed a GWP tomorrow (today), it will be both of us crying. 😭

[alexalicious]

If you have the buy 3 NYX get 100 bonus points these sets are clearanced and the pencils and lipsticks in this formula have really good reviews. Don't forget your $3.50 coupon and stack both the fragrance and Sunday Riley gwps + 10% on Ebates today.

[Lazybeautybeast]

Sunday Riley BB tonight! Ugh app won't let me post a picture.

[Ashletta216]

There is a beauty break, tonight.
