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.

For those looking for it the MAC Black Cherry collection is available online at Ulta. The best part is that they have 2 pretty good GWPS - a free full sized lippie in Chili and a full sized Gently Off wipes with a purchase of $45.

[Sunnysmom]

Yay @niki172 so glad you got it!  And for once I got in on the freebies included also! Anxious to see our plum blush but also wish US had the other shade. Of course not. Lol 

[niki172]

@Sunnysmom I wish they had the other shades also. I'm trying not to go back for another shade (that light pink) but I didn't check on it today so maybe it's sold out (that'll make my wallet happy lol).

[Sunnysmom]

I hear you @niki172 . I had fomo so I ordered the med pinky shade Sweet and happily it’s pink enough and not too peach.  You may want it. Oops sorry. 😘. I will swatch it if you want to if no one else has yet. 🙂

I have more than $45 in MAC products in my car and I can’t add the wipes. I think it may require a special code. 

 

 

[niki172]

@ArmyChick84 I think @itscarin is right about them being out. It added to my cart by itself when I had a blush and a lippie in my cart. Sorry I was out most of yesterday with a migraine so I didn't see this until now.

[itscarin]

@ArmyChick84 I think they're out of the wipes.  😕  When you go to the product page (pimprod2022308) there's no button to add to cart:

"Ulta Beauty Launches Reusable Packaging in Partnership with Loop
Provides consumers with a sustainable solution that is simple and convenient"

 

here is the article:

Spoiler

The global reuse platform Loop is expanding its partnership with Ulta Beauty to reduce beauty waste. Customers across the United States can now shop online at loopbyulta<dot>com for beauty and personal care products in durable, sustainable packaging which will be refilled and reused.

“Rethinking packaging provides the industry with the opportunity to develop new, luxurious designs that are also sustainable,” said Tom Szaky, founder and CEO, Loop and TerraCycle. “Consumers are increasingly asking for more environmentally responsible options in this category and this collaboration provides them with a solution that is simple and convenient.” 
 

How It Works

When placing an order, Loop shoppers pay a deposit on each package which is fully refundable upon return. After use, consumers simply place empty packages back into the exclusively designed tote and schedule a free pickup online.

“As the nation’s leading beauty retailer, we have a responsibility to continuously improve and bring innovative solutions forward for the industry,” commented Dave Kimbell, president, Ulta Beauty. "This first-of-its-kind partnership with the pioneers at Loop is an exciting step on our journey. We look forward to seeing our guests embrace Loop by Ulta Beauty as we all work together to create a lasting legacy for our world.”

At launch, guests can visit loopbyulta.com to order sustainable packaging options from brands such as Burt’s Bees, Plaine Products and Mad Hippie, among others. Oneka Elements, Dermalogica and L’ANZA will be coming to the platform soon.

Ulta Beauty announced its partnership with Loop within its Conscious Beauty at Ulta Beauty launch, a holistic initiative focused on delivering transparency, education and choice. Together the companies will work to help minimize the more than 120 billion packaging units produced globally annually within the cosmetics industry and fuel actionable improvements for the industry and the world.

I would be curious to know how stringently they clean their bottles before refilling them and giving them to the next customer (call me a germaphobe but with everything going on in the world I don't want to share a skincare bottle with a stranger as that stuff is going on my face). To me things like droppers would be extremely hard to make 100% sanitized (then again maybe they just pitch the old dropper for a new one). I also am curious of how environmentally friendly this is in the long run. As you are driving vehicles that most likely burn fossil fuels to pick these items up and take them back to the warehouse it is just as easy for a person to put this in their recycling bin if the containers are made of for example glass.

[itscarin]

@niki172 Did I misread the article?  I thought that the reusable portion is a package that your products are arriving in.  For example, if I bought 3 widgets, instead of getting a big dumb card board box with the widgets inside, I'm getting the reusable plastic container with 3 widgets inside.

Are you saying it's like Coca Cola bottles in Peru where you get a glass 2 liter of Coca Cola, and once you're done using it, you take it back to the store to get your deposit back?  They then take the emptied glass Coca Cola bottles and clean them and refill them with Coke.  

I mean, the Coca Cola system doesn't seem weird to me because that's just how they roll.  I trust that they're washing it out thoroughly.

With Covid, I can't remember how long the life span of the virus is on a non-porous surface like glass.  That being said, I've never wiped down my groceries or packages.  Everybody has their own comfort level though.

[niki172]

@itscarin I went to their website and the way they broke it down was that it was like the milkman from day's past which is what led me to believe that they were taking the used bottles back and washing them for reuse (at least that's how it worked when you got milk delivered). So maybe I got it wrong, but that wasn't what I gathered from their article so now I'm not sure.

[civ2ru]

Here is the beauty break, @itscarin! Whaddaya think?

Edit: as we have noticed, the title doesn’t match the image & description (4 vs 5 pieces). Let’s hope for the best! 🤞

• Better Than Sex Mascara (0.13 oz)

• Hangover Replenishing Face Primer (0.05 oz)
• Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer (0.08 oz)
• Rich & Dazzling High-Shine Sparkling Lip Gloss in Sunset Crush (0.12 oz)

[itscarin]

@civ2ru Dang.  I didn't want a Too Faced gift!  Wishing I bought in on the lash bag now.  To be honest though, I'm not sure I would've been happy with anything.  Now the question is: do I roll the dice one more chance and hope for a Friday beauty break?  LOL.  I'll probably just place my order today because I think it's 50-50 if there's another beauty break on Friday and maybe like 10-90 that I'm actually thrilled about the next beauty break.  😄

[treestar86]

@itscarin  I know what you mean...I only really get excited about the perfume ones anymore, but those tend to go fast, and even then, like half of the ones in the set, I'm not even interested in.  the recent coach one was the last really 'good' one that I really wanted, but sadly missed out, taking too long to decide what to get.😩😔 

[jojo83]

Did anyone here get the Coach gift? Would love to see a pic of how big the samples ended up being. I missed it too cuz guess what I was driving to an Ulta when they posted it and didn't get to see it in time. Lol 🤦

[civ2ru]

@itscarin I say, roll the dice! If it’s not about the samples anymore, then shouldn’t it be about the fun of the chase? 😁

[itscarin]

@civ2ru It's kind of like collecting pokemon cards.  I'd rather have a sucky pokemon card than no pokemon card at all, and so I'm worried that there won't be a GWP on Friday, so I just went ahead and made my order today.  I think there's been too many instances of holding out and getting disappointed in the past for me.  Plus, my husband is running low on these bath bombs he's obsessed with so...  I really have to make the purchase.  XD

[jojo83]

But unless you used your 15 off coupons already you have til the 6th to gamble. That's 3 more days! Lol 😁

[civ2ru]

@itscarin Power to you! Long live the bath bombs. Or, not so long, as the case may be.

[sabrinas]

@civ2ru Just came to post this as well! Saw it on reddit and thought, woop, gotta run back to sephora! Lol.  Their description of 4 items appears to be wrong, let's hope that it is actually 5 items and doesnt end up being 4!
