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.

New banner, but it doesn't seem to be active yet. guessing this will be today's gwp.

[missp25]

Last Thursday's Ahava gwp. Recycled from Oct. The last big gwp bag had an Ahava set from last black Friday. I don't mind, just wondering if they're not that enticing of a gwp for folks.

[Lazybeautybeast]

I have a question for the Ulta goddesses! 😉 I never received the mailer with my diamond requalification gift in it for 2019 (I re-upped the end of December). I reached out to Ulta CS and they sent me an in store and online codes for my gift. Can you redeem the welcome gift online? I tried the code and it doesn't add anything to my cart.

[quspork]

@Lazybeautybeast You have to add the product to your cart first. The options should be listed at ultaDOTcom/featured/welcomediamond 

From there choose the item you want, add it to your cart, then put in the code you were given at checkout. 

[Lazybeautybeast]

Oh thank you so much @quspork! It makes sense that it would be certain products. The only thing that seems to be working on is any Clinique foundation. 🤷‍♀️ I guess I'll have to go do a color match.

[treestar86]

@Lazybeautybeast  that's the one I got too...I was gonna go in store and pick one out, but then I didn't feel like it so I just got it online.  then I figured I might as well go w/the highest priced one, which was the cc cream for $39.  I wanted to try it out, but since the store here doesn't have it, Idk if it was the right color...so I figured I should just sell it, and if I wanted it again just wait til it's on sale and/or there's extra pts. (as they have 5x on clinique a lot), so at least I would get the pts.  so I put it on ebay and it sold.  so you can always just sell it, if you're not sure what color/etc. you need, or if you're not sure you'd even use it...better than to have something you don't want, but can't sell or return bc you used it. 😕

ETA: correct link is ulta dot com/featured/topratedbeautystars

[RGbrown]

New gwp!

Pimprod2014247

[alexalicious]

The recent $70 gwp bag: looks like I got everything. Bag is kinda cute cherry red (reads pinker in photo) and a good size, but I need to reattach my bow. This is mostly packets and really small samples. Iwould not feel fomo over it. The previous $125 bag was much better. Nice to see Laura Mercier in here though!

[Buootiful]

Yay! The ABH BB did come with the bag. It is pretty nice for a white bag as I do not like white in general. I could probably fit by Tarte Pro Remix eyeshadow in here as it is a nice wide and long bag. And the products aren't made in china 🙂

For those who got the Tarte Frose on the go, the eyeshadow is sooo messy unlike the Go Big or go chrome set.  Powder is everywhere from opening it -a lot of waste of product. It is a lovely pink though! 🙂

New gwp, choice of 2 with $50. Pimprod2014318 and 2014319

The $70 bag is back as well, but I've been burned enough times by phantom midnight restocks not to trust them anymore.

[treestar86]

no gwp here, but I'm still thrilled bc I've been wanting to try this line for a while, as the reviews are mostly raves.  so I was thrilled to see they were b1g1 40% off, plus cpn, plus 200 pts! wahooo 😄

@Loretta55 @alexalicious In case you didn’t notice, new shades of Nudestix Nudies have just been released! Matte Blush & Bronze in Salty Siren and Beach Babe. Now I’m torn whether to try one of those or Magnetic Lip Plush Paint, which is also matte... 🤔

Also a new Bubbly Bébé shade in Glow formula.

[Loretta55]

Thank you for tagging me @civ2ru . I have been waiting for Salty Siren to be released as a single item. It was only available on their own website in the Nude But Not Kit. I got Sunkissed in the Nude Beach Kit last summer. That was one of my favorite Nudestix kits. Bubbly Bebe looks interesting. I am waiting to see what will be offered as a Beauty Break tomorrow before I pull the trigger. I have mixed feelings about the Magnetic Plush Paint. I purchased Sweet Sangria. This product has a learning curve for me. I over applied it as a blush. 

[civ2ru]

@Loretta55 Yes, I also noticed that Salty Siren was only available in that Estée Lalonde collab kit on Nudestix website (until now). This shade looks lovely! And thank you for sharing your experience with Plush Paint formula. I found it curious that both Sephora and Ulta seem to carry one exclusive shade of that product each (Bahama Mama and St. Tropez, respectively) – plus 5 of the same ones. I’m sure one of these will be mine eventually, perhaps with the next prestige coupon... I’m leaning towards Waikiki Rose.

Oh and it may be a Too Faced BB today. I hope not, personally.

[civ2ru]

$70 bag is now OOS. Hope everyone who ordered it gets it!

[alexalicious]

I needed the Shea oil to add to my hand cream. Then I fell into the sale section and $70 later it was history. Ulta, keep stacking gwps and sending out those bonus points offers!

[civ2ru]

@alexalicious Yay, you got your shea oil!!! 😁
