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.

You know, it's sad when you have enough of the samples from each set that none stands out from the others...so you start trying to decide based on which bag you like best (even though you also have so many bags that this one will get tossed in a box and never see the light of day again) 😅😅😅😅

Thanks so much @ohheyitscindyk!!

[Ispend2much6]

@RGbrown  I know what you mean.  It's a little bit of a relief for me that I won't feel pressured (by myself) to make a large order to get one of these bags.  Easy pass, I can't believe it, but it's true.

[ohheyitscindyk]

@RGbrown So true! And I recently tried to declutter some of my makeup bags & it was so hard, I think I only got rid of a few. The other ones will just keep collecting dust lol.

But hey, with Ulta's math, these bags are worth $28 😉

[emaisgr8]

Thanks for the heads up.

[mganeshaly]

Thanks!!!! @ohheyitscindyk

[SAlyFitz]

Winky lux isn’t showing half off for me on the designated items? Anyone else having that issue- I emailed cs.

[ohheyitscindyk]

@SAlyFitz Are you looking at the Flower Balms? I only tried the pink shade last night when it was in stock & that was half off, & now I'm trying the other ones & they're not hmm

[SAlyFitz]

Ya and the pink is sold out anyway😶

[ohheyitscindyk]

@SAlyFitz Hopefully CS gets back to you soon!

[RGbrown]

Yuck. Glimmer balms are working, but the flower balms aren't. 👎

[SAlyFitz]

Ikr and I’ve wanted the flower bomb since it came to Ulta jus never wanted it for full price lol come on Ulta...

[phantompenguinx]

if anyone wants a code for the dermalogica precleanse freebie lmk, i wont be using mine 🙂

[Anonymous]

@phantompenguinx I would love to have it! Thanks!

[phantompenguinx]

@Anonymousyep, just pm'd you back

[Alicehoopz]

Meh it could be better (was disappointed that the winky lux sale is only on 3 items!) but I still cashed out 1000 points and am happy with my order. Blind bought the 1 oz Armani Sun (I've been eyeing it for a while since I love Bobbi Brown Beach & Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess), got the 3 .5 oz sprays (if they are that size, that's a great GWP! $75 value?), got the Clinique freebie and the Bareminerals diamond gift.

I'm most interested in the Bareminerals at the moment. My face is currently scabbed over from a sunscreen disaster - surprise, I'm extremely allergic to chemical sunscreen 😭😭. Seems to be a mineral based sunscreen so hopefully I can go in the sun again...someday

[mwg1]

A mineral sunscreen I've been using and liking is the Australian Gold facial sunscreen. It's got a slight tint so it's not super white, and while it is absolutely not foundation it does give a little blurring and coverage. Plus it's pretty reasonable as far as cost, non-prestige Ulta coupons apply to it, and it's available in most other drug store so if you have coupons there you can get cheaper, too.

[Alicehoopz]

Oh thank you for the suggestion!! The price on that is amazing 😮

[heath64]

WOW, EASY pass on this 'perk' day.  Save my money for a better day.....

[RGbrown]

Yes indeed, we have a Platinum Perk day!

First up, early access to Kate Somerville!34 items total!

And the gifts!

Armani Air 18401029

Armani Sky 18401031

Armani Sun 18401025

Kate Somerville 18651095

PUR 18651055

Benefit 17421073

Bumble 18101115

Clinique 16101079

Kinda disappointing since this should have been the big gift day. I'm holding off to see what else, if anything, the email brings us.

I looked at IT Brushes and didn't see anything marked as Platinum there ☹️

[BrwnSugaG]

When were these supposed to end? My entire cart got wiped out just as I hit submit! I guess I saved $ but it’s my bday mth so I was gonna get a buncha points too .. oh well. This is what I get for not being impulsive for once.

[RGbrown]

@BrwnSugaG

Ulta runs on Central time, so most deals/sales/specials/gwps end at midnight Central, on the dot. 

I can only think of two exceptions off the top of my head (though there could be others I'm forgetting):

(1) 20% q's run until 2am Central (although this last round was odd...emailed ones expired around 11pm Central, while mailed ones lasted through to 2am as normal...I don't know if that was just a glitch or if Ulta is possibly looking to end these earlier from now on)

(2) 21 Days (all of the Daily Deal 21 day events...hair, skincare, etc): the daily deals start at midnight Central, but run until 2am Central, giving a 2 hour overlap where you can pick up both day's deals at one time
