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.

The gal over at giftswithpurchase dot com was able to use her Smashbox foundation code to order a 2nd free bottle of foundation! 😮

I tried to do the same and did not succeed - said it'd been used already. Maybe it was a glitch, or I'm not doing it correctly.

@magda124  I just tried this and it worked! 😮 I was going to get a second bottle but I can't get any of the other GWP's because it's 1 per person SOOO..I decided not to reuse it. I

can send you my code to see if it let's you use it. Let me know 🙂

[magda124]

Omg yes!! Thanks so much!

[fresa20]

@magda124Sent! 🙂  

[magda124]

It worked! You rock.. thank you! 💓

Every now and again a unique code will work more than once, but that's the exception, not the rule. There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to it, but in any case, it never hurts to try codes a second time once used...you never know...you might luck out!

[Imightneedthis]

I tried too! It didn’t work for me either

Successful platinum perks day ebates cash back, 4x points and bought 4 items got 6 free gifts and my samples! Now that’s a happy Monday!!💕

[alexalicious]

new $5 off $60 or more purchase at ulta.com bonus on ibotta app. I think it is stackable with the new $2 "back to school" online purchase bonus +3% back *fyi- usually doesn't count toward total if you use giftcards on ibotta. I think ebates might be better for redeeming giftcards.

Does anyone have any Shimmer Veil shade recommendations? I can't decide!

[NatureGirlSD]

@ohheyitscindyk I'm down for the cool-toned Amethyst for sure once the 20% off codes come around again. 😄

[Ispend2much6]

Was the shade Magic the only one available for free?  It's OOS now, and I guess I missed it.  Thanks!

[RGbrown]

@Ispend2much6

Any shade is free with $20 CoverFX purchase (except another Shimmer Veil...Ulta set it up poorly, and you can't buy the same item that's also free and still get the freebie, if that makes sense). Have to add the shade you want to your cart and it'll turn free once you have $20+ of other CoverFX stuff.

[Ispend2much6]

@RGbrown  Thanks again!

[sarahshter]

I have halo and amethyst and love both. halo is lighter and works well on light makeup days and the corner of your eye. 😁 I caved and placed an order that I'd been putting off today. bought the norvina pallette. I totally cave when I see freebies!

[ohheyitscindyk]

@sarahshter Thank you! I wasn't planning on placing an order today, but I caved, too haha.

[magda124]

Was looking at these swatches, maybe they help anyone trying to decide what shade. 🙂 I got Moonstone, but now I'm regretting it and wishing I had gotten Halo or Amethyst.. I have the Stila Kitten Karma and maybe it's too similar to Moonstone.

[Ispend2much6]

FYI- I just got off the phone with customer service.  Ulta's site wasn't accepting my Diamond email code for the free foundation.  So, I called customer service and they gave me another code that worked.

However, the link for the free Cover FX isn't working, at least if you want to buy one Shimmer Veil as your buy-in to get the free Shimmer Veil.  You have to order a different item (i.e. more expensive) to get the free Shimmer Veil.  It also doesn't work to put a Shimmer Veil in your cart to purchase and add a $2 Click Stick.

Here's another $10 off $30 for Smashbox code: 40Q6ZEJSWJ

[RGbrown]

And the rest of the deals...

Diamond gift

[alexalicious]

Bonus! there is also free smashbox travel size primer with $15 foundation purchase it loaded when I added the smashbox diamond freebie and stayed in my cart after adding the coupon code. Or if you go for the coverfx $18 cover click and $2 click stick - you'll get the shimmer veil & sb primer Free! yay
