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.

I think this is new, no? The threshold for what you get is insane. I am tempted not to place any orders in protest! 😂

[RGbrown]

@civ2ru 

Came here to say "nope, not new, been around for days" before scrutinizing and realizing it is indeed different from the one a few days ago 🤦‍♀️ I guess that tells me how unremarkable it is lol 😂

Lotta folks are ordering $100+ perfumes for mother's day...I just kinda assume this is geared as a bonus for them.

[WinglessOne]

@civ2ru  Okay, this one makes me legit angry. $100 buy-in for 6 sample vials and 1 “mini” (so like, 2 sample vials worth)? Someone in Ulta’s marketing department needs a CT scan, because no one with a healthy brain would think this sampler will give Ulta shoppers that “oooh, lemme go build a hundred dollar cart now” push. 

For the last few years, I’ve intentionally passed on a lot of Ulta’s GWP bags even when I happened to have met the thresholds. There’s just too much stuff in those bags I can’t/won’t use and can’t rehome fast enough; plus the thresholds have been silly, so I’ve skipped some GWP out of spiteful protest. But this one takes the cake. Some folks complain about Sephora’s favorites sets of fragrance samples, but at least those come with a voucher for a full size fragrance so you’re not really out much $ if the set contains a fragrance you know you like. It certainly works out to be a lower buy-in than this $100 Ulta one. 🤦‍♀️

On a Thursday? Weird. In any case, if you were hoping for the AAPI 10x to show up on Sunday, it's here a few days early. Today only!

I didn't realize Good Molecules was AAPI owned! I'm on fumes on my hyaluronic acid serum.

Second Beauty Break

 

[civ2ru]

Beauty Break is up! 

Item 2627621

 

[civ2ru]

Oh and looks like we have a new fragrance brand added, Orebella. Drops 5/10 online and 5/12 in stores. Essential oil based, alcohol free. 7 items loaded so far, including a $35 “stand”. I guess they market this as art as much as scent? Packaging is pretty to be sure, but I wonder what it smells like… 🤔

 

 

[Samtian]

@civ2ru That packaging is exquisite, thank you for sharing!

I wonder if this will be a sale or if it will require a coupon code?  That might determine whether I participate... 🤔
