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.

Skinfatuation is back (??) It's acting wonky in the app, tells me it's no longer available, but working just fine on the mobile site. Hopefully they'll fix it (or maybe pull it) shortly, but for the moment at least, you'll likely need to go to the site to get it!

(ETA: looks like it is working fine in the app now)

Kicking myself as I thought this would last thru this morning's BB. Didn't read the fine print. I really wanted to try that Dermalogica serum 🙂 . @RGbrown 

[jojo83]

I knew something was weird. I didn't get the dermalogica serum in mine! I got crappy philosophy something. Booo. 😞

[alexalicious]

Couldn't resist, it's a wicked good deal if you love Good Genes! I hope it's not too good to be true, that itsy sample of Biolumin-C serum looks awesome. Geez though, Ulta has been snubbing me a lot on gwps this year and I was miffed after that last affiliate bag and round of skincare gwps full of dried out and missing products.

[Imightneedthis]

I just ran out of Good Genes!Great idea! Thanks for sharing!

[alexalicious]

I found a couple of gifts with any purchase on super clearanced items from Kiko and Fountain of Truth. A lot Kiko stuff is marked way down and the cute bag is free with any Kiko purchase. I'm super curious about this IT fan brush that got marked down to $11.98, that line of brushes is usually pretty awesome. Ya gotta love stacking a coupon on top of clearance prices and a gwp!

I was so excited for that Fountain of Youth hand cream since our hands are drier now. It smells delicately of grape but it makes my hands itchy and red 😞 . In regards to the gwp, was the mask in a packet or mini for you? Hope you had better luck with the cream. @alexalicious 

[RGbrown]

Anybody have a 10off40 (or two?!) they won't use? Looking to pick up a few gifts, and the BB is very tempting. Shoot me a PM; I'm willing to succumb and save you from your temptation, if you're trying to save your wallet 🤣

[quetzalina]

@RGbrown Do you still need one? If so, I'll PM you one of mine:)

[RGbrown]

@quetzalina 

I'm good now, but thank you so much! Feel free to pass it along to someone else! 🥰

[quetzalina]

Ok great, you're welcome! 

[Gemini619]

@RGbrownJust sent you one! 😊 

[RGbrown]

@Gemini619 

You are fabulous! Thank you so very much! 😘

[RGbrown]

Beauty Break!

And here I was, trying not to buy anything.... I've been looking to test this essence for a year to see if it compares to the Primera one. Order placed. Thanks for posting!

[treestar86]

same, lol!  it looks like a good one w/stuff I could actually use, unlike a lot of the usual BB's.  I've never tried that brand but wanted to.  the serum is the only one that states the size, and I just hope the rest aren't that tiny, though the essence looks bigger.

I really agonized over my cart lol, since w/the $10 off cpn you can get it for $40...but I've had the michael kors starlight shimmer on my 'save for later' forever and was waiting for more cash back or a bigger gwp, but I figured this was a good chance to finally try it while it's still available and on sale. 🤗

[greeneyedgirl107]

@RGbrown I got the e-mail about this and also saw your post.  But I'm a little confused as to why this isn't popping up on Ulta's GWP links.  Is that typical?

[RGbrown]

@greeneyedgirl107 

Ulta has two different gwp pages, and each shows a slightly different subset of gifts for some asinine reason 😖

Sale>Gifts with Purchase

And

Gifts>Gifts with Purchase

If a gwp has to be added to your cart manually (like a Beauty Break), it'll only be on Gifts gwp page, but not the Sale one. 

I see the Beauty Break on the Gifts gwp page. I'm not sure which page you are looking at, but if you aren't seeing it on the Sale gwp page, yes, that's (weirdly) completely normal. If you aren't seeing it on either page...I'm not sure what's going on there...

[treestar86]

wow I didn't even know there was a sale>gwp section.  I guess it was too far for my mouse to move lol, I always went to the gifts>gwp page since the link is right there next to the gifts link lol.  I thought it was the only one. 

[greeneyedgirl107]

@RGbrown I now see it on the Gifts>GWP page.  IDK why I didn't see it the other 3 times I looked.  Thanks for weighing is - esp about the difference between the Sale page and the GWP page.  I didn't know what the exact distinction was.  You're always a wealth of knowledge ❤️

[Sunnysmom]

Glad you asked about this @greeneyedgirl107 ! 😘 I had wondered before also and just thought I was a dummy! 😂

Why they gotta make it so convoluted @RGbrown ?!! 🤣 I caught that once and wondered, then couldn’t find it afterwards, so now I just depend on the fabulous RG to help us out! 🤗
