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.

@Feebee1115, I stopped on the store for just that purpose and nothing was out. I asked about it, and the girl ringing me up advised it was something with Tarte, they were short handed and probably wouldn't have it out until tomorrow. I left it at that 😏 Sometimes I'm more frustrated going into the stores.

[RGbrown]

Tarte? For a hair sale? That makes zero sense 😛

[ChanChanMakeup]

I totally forgot about the Friday in store deal!  

[Feebee1115]

Ok that makes sense. I saw that Tarte stand and 2 employees just standing there talking but nothing on it. Ugh now debating if I should go back and pick up the card. They were in a jar but I didn’t read it and no one offered to help me. 

[NatureGirlSD]

@Feebee1115 Ugh! That sucks that they didn't even acknowledge you. Maybe call to see if they're still there and have anything left before heading back? I keep getting Friday notifications about in-store deals with no info either, so I need to start calling to see what's being offered & when.

[Feebee1115]

@NatureGirlSD I guess it wasn’t for me today. But I’m going to a Sephora event tomorrow so will ask at the Ulta in the mall. They're very friendly there. Just a further drive. 

But I’m glad you’re also getting the Friday notifications with no info. It’s a bit annoying. I wanted the Chi products anyway so I did get what I needed. 

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Luvstravel I just had a really frustrating experience in-store today.  I wish Ulta had the free shipping like Sephora does with the free flash shipping so I didn't have to go in there.  😛

[SportyGirly125]

@Feebee1115 It is the 2 beauty steals below

[Feebee1115]

@SportyGirly125 thanks! Online they mentioned an in store deal only every Friday. But I didn’t see anything so maybe they don’t have it out today. 

[SportyGirly125]

@Feebee1115 Maybe if you call the store they will let you know what it is.

New multiplier

[NatureGirlSD]

@RGbrown I got this one and really hope I don't cave & buy their Cinnamon Buns body wash. (I'm almost certain it will be a ticking time bomb for me like Purity.) 😛

[quspork]

Personally I adore the body washes. They lather nicely, rinse cleanly, and the scents last much longer on me than any others. Plus they often go on sale for $9-$12 so I try to stock up them. 🙂

[RGbrown]

@NatureGirlSD

FWIW, I don't find Philosophy body washes to be anything spectacular, or even better than my standard B&BW. They're fine, but nothing special, and I have a hard time swallowing the price when I can get something else way cheaper. 

Have you gotten your BoxyCharm yet? Got mine yesterday...omg that palette is stunning in person 😮

[NatureGirlSD]

@RGbrown Nice, you just sold me on not getting the Philosophy body wash. 😄

I was shocked to love that Boxy palette and how pigmented it is, so I'm keeping it, along with almost everything else in the box for once. I actually upgraded to Luxe for December in the hopes it will help cover the rest of the Xmas gifts I still need since the big palette is perfect for gifting. After that I may unsub.

[ohheyitscindyk]

@RGbrown @NatureGirlSD I feel like I'm the only one, but I hate the shape of the bottles. Maybe it's also how thick the plastic is, plus how thick the body wash is, but it's so hard to squeeze out. And then the top gets clogged.

[RGbrown]

@ohheyitscindykUnidentified

Yes, I could totally see those big bottles being quite unwieldy in the shower! I've only had smaller bottles from various gift sets, so I've never had to mess with one of the big ones, thankfully.

I do use Purity wash in the shower sometimes, and happen to have a couple of the big 12oz bottles from Sephora BF two years ago (in my defense, I was new to gwps and didn't know Purity was a standard freebie yet 😅), but I just refill a smaller gwp bottle from them as needed. Easier to handle with wet hands, and it takes up way less space in my tiny shower. 👍

[ohheyitscindyk]

@RGbrown I recently tossed one because I hated using it. There was only a little bit left, but I couldn't even bring myself to finish it. I still have a few Purity samples somewhere myself haha.

[quspork]

Also Philosophy's holiday sets finally dropped on Ulta's site, so a great time to pick up any of those if you're interested!

Upcoming Beauty Break

Once again, don't know how they calculated the value. My math works it out to be $72.96.

Any chance this will be this week's BB? That elixir looks nice 🙂
