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.

Looking at the spreadsheet, we had two last year, and two this year, both in Aug and early November. Based on that, I wouldn't expect more this year. 

[Loretta55]

I thought there was a 10x Times event the first week of March this year @RGbrown.

[RGbrown]

@Loretta55Unidentified

Indeed there was...I overlooked it when glancing through earlier. Thanks for the reminder! 

[candyrivera]

Thank you!

[RGbrown]

BOOTD

And a new gwp! Pimprod2002221

[Feebee1115]

I’m so tempted by this!

edited to add

The Clinique bonus is stacking with this. And if you got the Lancôme clis freebie there’s a $5 off coupon in there.  

[missp25]

Yes, it is great stacking!  I got two clinique mascaras for $41 and the two gwps (clinique lipstick and ahava).  I got 594 points (I am diamond)!

Fyi, if you need to get over a pts threshold, the black fri preview for $15 carroline herrera ornaments and other fragrance ornaments are instore.

[Feebee1115]

Ulta wants all my money 💰 😂

I want to use points but need to figure out $125 worth of stuff for one of these sales. Anyone willing to share their lists? Would love some ideas. 

[magda124]

OH!!! And thank you for such detailed info... you ROCK. 😍💸💸

[magda124]

Wowie... hahahaha... Ulta really wants all my money! However, I need to reign it in cuz I really don't need to spend $75 when I don't really need anything and thankfully,  don't see a gorgeous highlighter tempting me. I'd rather get my Black Friday GWPs with $40 of anything.... those 4 you guys uploaded earlier do stack right? If so, that's just too good to pass up! 😲

Got my cart ready for that one!! 😁😁😁😁

[ohheyitscindyk]

@magda124 They should all stack, fingers crossed!

[magda124]

It almost seems too good to be true!!! 😲😁 The Laura Gellar GWP alone is bomb. I hope so!!!

[maxima]

@ohheyitscindyk Thank you for the sneak peek! You're awesome. Cyber Monday deals are often better than Black Friday's. The 64,000 question is whether Ulta will throw out a stackable Beauty Break or smaller gwp on Monday or Tuesday? I often  "pull the trigger" too soon on the big, beauty bags only for Ulta to drop another deal into the mix.  

[ohheyitscindyk]

@maxima Aww you're welcome! I'm anxious to see what the Cyber Monday deals will be, I hope the event page goes live soon.

Looking at last year's spreadsheet, it looks like we didn't get another Beauty Break until the Thursday after Thanksgiving, I wonder if they'll stick to that schedule. There was a robe with a $40 fragrance purchase on Cyber Monday, though. But I think I'd rather have the candles haha.

[Buootiful]

Funny, i was instore today to swatch and off to the right they have gwps-treehut, essie,michael kors and....bunch of gray fluffy things. I couldnt tell if it was a robe or throw. And i dont know why they would have it instore. 

Thanks @ohheyitscindyk @so much for all your helpful info. Its always exciting when you post 😊 and the candles are great for a gift too cuz you dont need to wrap it ,☺

[ohheyitscindyk]

@Buootiful Perfect, because I'm terrible at wrapping gifts haha!

[RGbrown]

@BuootifulUnidentified

Gah, not the robes again! 😋 They seem to be an annual tradition.

Candles are dated through 11/24 (Sat), so I'd bet the robes become the fragrance gwp starting Sunday. Guess I'd better make my final fragrance purchases before then (and the multiplier ends then too anyways, so there's the extra incentive to anyone that has it!)

[RGbrown]

@ohheyitscindyk

Whenever you have a chance (no rush, seriously!!), I'd love deets on both Bumble and Origins (fingers crossed it's a not the same old same old ginzing/checks & balances/plantscription/Clear Improvement samples...a gal can dream, right? 😛 )

And you really are the best! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for all you do...I know the hunt can be tedious and boring, and sometimes even frustrating, and yet you continue to wow us with all the previews. I can't say thank you enough times to express my gratitude 🙂 

ETA: oops, one more. Elemis, please and thank you? 🙂

[ohheyitscindyk]

@RGbrown Aww you're so sweet, I'm just glad that I can be of some help when planning purchases 🙂 And thank YOU for always keeping us updated & for all the helpful info!!

Here you go! Looks like the Origins is the same old, same old? 😕 I've never tried anything from Elemis, do you have any recommendations?
