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.

They can't all be winners...I skipped several Platinum Perk days last year that seemed rather snoozy too. No worries though, Ulta always comes through with more goodies! 😃

I doubt we'll ever see another day like the last one though...that was one for the history books 🙃

[phantompenguinx]

for reals...they were probably extra careful to make sure the same bonanza didn't happen this time lol

[RGbrown]

Platinum Perk day!

So far I'm only seeing two items marked as platinum access

Site-wide gwp

New multiplier

And can someone please tell me what a pore mat is? I don't know if my pores need one or not 😄

[NatureGirlSD]

I saw it listed specifically as a bathmat somewhere. Benefit certainly comes up with some, er, unique GWPs. 😛

[sarahshter]

I'm really intrigued by the new Becca powder, too.  I wonder when the official release date is?  I'm going out of town tomorrow for three weeks so maybe I'll just wait or save the money and see what exciting makeup Australia has to offer me.  🤔

[RGbrown]

@sarahshter

Per the email, it'll be online Mar 4 and in store Mar 18. ☺️

 Enjoy your trip!

[sarahrob2248]

I was wondering about the mat too! Today’s email calls it a bath mat, but online it’s a “pore mat”??? A bath mat is cool, but if it is a tiny blotting paper thing I would be pissed. Although the “shower” implies it is indeed a bath mat, so who knows?

[Maria88]

I will end up getting that powder at some point,very interesting concept and I'd like my skin to look a little bit less matte than how regular powders work. But I dont consider early releases a "perk" unless the item is limited edition. I do hope more stuff gets released. 😃

[niki172]

This is kinda meh for me. Just free shipping if you buy something else with the item and not free? The Becca is $38 by itself (close to the free shipping threshold). Unless they have to hit a switch this isn't a great Platinum perk IMO.

[Nikkihas3girls]

@niki172 I fully agree with you! 

[Ispend2much6]

@niki172  I just played with my cart.  You can get free shipping by purchasing the Platinum Perk items only. 

[mezzotown88]

Lol 🤣🤣🤣

[ohheyitscindyk]

@RGbrown I was just about to ask the same thing lol it just looks like a regular bath/shower mat to me, not sure what the "pore" part of it is.

[RGbrown]

@ohheyitscindyk

I guess whoever typed it up got a little flustered since it shockingly wasn't a Porefessional sample 😄

[ohheyitscindyk]

@RGbrown HAHAHAHA "Floor mat?? That can't be right, they must have meant PORE mat!"

[RGbrown]

😅😅😅😅

[Madeline7]

Hydra mist...powder?  What even is this, I don't understand XD

[sarahrob2248]

It actually sounds pretty similar to Prescriptives Magic Liquid Powder, which I used to love playing with! It felt so awesome on the skin, but I have oily skin, so it wasn’t really my jam. They still have it on the Prescriptives site

[RGbrown]

@Madeline7@mezzotown88

I'm actually a bit intrigued by the description; I'm slowly coming to realize that my face may be a tad bit drier than I thought it was, and wonder if this might be a nifty addition.

[Ispend2much6]

The ingredients list is promising.  All of them, except for the preservatives, which are a 3-4, are 1-2 (and mostly 1) points on EWG's rating scale.

[mezzotown88]

@RGbrown maybe I need this too since I have extremely dry skin.... I always carry Mac prep+prime fix spray( need to spray every 3-4 hours... I’m that dry) I think I’ll get it later when I am back...🤗 Thanks
