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.

@treestar86 I'm so glad you like it 🙂 it's definitely great for winter time and for touching up much needed dry areas. This reminds, I still have to go search all my stashes to see if I have it somewhere, lol! I'll send you a couple on amazon that I've been eyeing. I know exactly which one she got me (it's the first photo I'll include).

I don't know how well this one works but I really liked the overall look of it. I don't know when I'll see her next but I'll definitely update you when I get my hands  on it. 

I owned something like this or similar to it in the past. The performance was quite good at first but it started to get gunky quickly and after a while it stopped diffusing as much so I tossed it. 

Owned something similar to this as well. I feel like the outside of it would get gunky over time because it diffused in a way where the EO steam almost falls directly back onto it? Idk how to describe it. But basically that steam/EO blend  overtime gets in between all those nooks/crannies within the beautiful design and it's such a pain to clean (or at times, literally impossible). Maybe I'm overly obsessive but I always felt too like no matter how much I wiped it down the outside "metal-y" material always was a bit sticky. I never had this issue with any other diffusers that are plastic or ceramic on the outside. I tossed this one very quickly. Would recommend staying away from stuff similar to it for that reason.

[treestar86]

@QueenMarceline thanks, its definitely good to get some use out of the oils we already have! lol. 🙂 thanks for the recommendations! those look nice, and not too expensive...yeah that last one looks the neatest, but I see what you mean...I think I have some candle holders like that, and the holes would get all sooty... ;/

[QueenMarceline]

@treestar86 Yes, it super unfortunate because of how cute the designs are. 😕

[treestar86]

@QueenMarceline lol, right! 🙁

[treestar86]

@QueenMarceline ahh, im not sure what it was supposed to smell like originally. I'd see if I can smell it at ulta to find out, but a lot of their testers smell rancid also. 😕 but if its heavy I guess now would be a good time to use it... 😅 the Juno seems a bit lightweight, and Ive noticed my face gets drier as I age. my fave oil Ive found is avocado oil, this brand at ulta was on clearance so I got several things like squalane oil and micellar water...but the avocado oil has this geranium scent thats is so nice...and I think the avocado is pretty good for dry/winter skin. I love how it feels, I hate when some oils have that grainy or idk what youd call it feel...lol. I think the brand was artluxe naturals...im not sure if they still have it there, but they were sooo crazy cheap on clearance. 

[QueenMarceline]

@treestar86 I know exactly what you're talking about with the grainy texture and I despise it as well. I have a weird thing with texture in general so the feeling even on my hands oddly makes me squirm. I LOVE geranium scented anything... so that truly sounds like an absolute dream. I swear it's my favorite essential oil to diffuse. So light yet lovely but unique and distinguishable. I'll have to see if I can see find that 🙂

[treestar86]

@QueenMarceline yes, me too!! Im so sensitive and only use certain lotions on my hands bc a lot of them feel weird lol. and I also hated oils until I found out theyre good for your face, lol...but oil in general I hated the feel, especially on my hands or feet, when it gets on the dry parts...ICK.

oh, I looked on ulta to see if they still have that brand, and they do!! but not the items, I got, sadly... ;/ but they do have a geranium line, lol...all the pink bottles are the 'anti-aging geranium' for dry skin. I'll have to remember to check those out when (or if) I run out of my current ones, as theyre still a good price and currently b1g1 40% off. 🤗

ooh, I havent tried plain geranium oil, though, I should look into that as well. I still need to get a diffiser since I have a bunch of essential oils. 😅

[QueenMarceline]

@treestar86 My (big mouth) friend blurted to me she got me a new super cute diffuser for my name day (something celebrated where I'm from) but she's still living in Chicago so I havent been able to see her yet to get my gift. I'm super excited though. Mine broke a few months ago so I haven't been able to diffuse at all and I love so many oils. Some of my favorites are sold here at Sephora. Definitely recommend trying:

Vitruvi Geranium Essential Oil 

Vitruvi Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil 

The bottles are so cute and they are super potent and don't gunk up my diffusers even anywhere near as much as my cheaper oils do. (Yuck!)

[treestar86]

@QueenMarceline aww, thats nice. 🙂 I have some amazon gift cards and I dont shop there, so Ive been thinking of what to get, and that seems like something I should look for there...

cool, I'll check those out!! didnt know they had essential oils here...I got a bunch of the NOW brand ones from natural grocers, bc theyre super cheap.

[QueenMarceline]

@treestar86 I like the NOW Foods ones but unfortunately the geranium from there gunks up my diffuser like crazy 😕 it's quite a shame. Amazon is definitely a great place to look for a diffuser 🙂

[treestar86]

if anyone has a $10 off $50 coupon you want to trade for a $15 off $75, please pm me!! 🙂

[Indy701]

[treestar86]

OMFG...did anyone else get the black opium "deluxe samples" gwp from Wed? 😳😳😳

cuz THEY ARE BOTH FULL SIZED!!!! 😱😱😱😭😭😭

I THOUGHT the pkg seemed heavier than it was supposed to... 🤣🤣🤣

Ulta is REALLY impressing me lately!!! 😍😍😍😘😘😘🤗🤗🤗

[Indy701]

WOW!  I selected the Marc Jacobs one. They were not full size but I really just wanted the bag. 

[treestar86]

@Indy701  oh, I think that was a different day? I wanted the eau so intense mini too, but decided to wait for perk day instead.

this is the black opium hair mist (it looks like perfume, lol) and shimmer lotion. 🤗

Check the bottom of your emails today for a prestige coupon, through 3/5 🙂 I'm assuming these may be the same codes as the catalog coupons (I never got it).

[jojo83]

The online coupon says prestige while the one on the back of my catalog has restrictions. 🤔

[RGbrown]

@jojo83 

Does your catalog one list prestige and fragrance in the exclusions? Mine doesn't.

They both have some restrictions, but they should be the same restrictions on both (note prestige and fragrance are not excluded). Here's the verbiage from the email version (same verbiage as my catalog q):

Excludes The Salon at Ulta Beauty, Ear Piercing, Skin Bar at Ulta Beauty and Benefit Brow Bar services, CHANEL, N°1 DE CHANEL, Dyson, Early Black Friday Deals, Black Friday Deals, 5 for $5, 5 for $10, Beauty Steals®, Beauty Deals™, Spring Haul Offers & Fall Haul Offers and clearance.

Oh ok cool I thought all those restrictions meant prestige.
