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.

@Ispend2much6 Thanks! It just went OOS.

After missing out on the deals on Monday (stupid doctor/hospital - jk they're not stupid you're just there forever it feels like. I'm okay btw.) this ain't too shabby. Not the greatest, but as I need to place an order I'll take it. Thanks @Ispend2much6 :).

[Ispend2much6]

@niki172  I'm glad you're okay!!!  Shopping is a good way to pass the time in a hospital.

[niki172]

@Ispend2much6 when you're the patient in the room with signs everywhere saying "no cell phones allowed" that time goes reealllllly slow. Trust me if I could have escaped to use my phone I would have :P. I was so bored with only bad day time tv as my only companion. I *almost* hugged my DVR when I got home finally.

[BrwnSugaG]

@niki172 - ha. i was in the ER a few weeks ago and totally placed a sephora order while i was waiting for the doc to come back lol. (i'm also fine now)

[Ispend2much6]

@BrwnSugaG  Between you and @niki172  I think I need to stay away from this thread!  I'm glad you both are okay.

[BrwnSugaG]

@Ispend2much6 - Thank you! and don't worry .. unlike these deal threads, it was nothing contagious! 🙂

Can someone talk me out of getting the GHD flat iron please lol... I'm seriously thinking about getting it at half off. But it is still over $100 after tax so please.. someone enable me or stop me!! Can't make a decision.

[snoflakefaerie]

@Anonymous Things to consider: how often do you flat iron your hair? If you only do it a few times a month, you probably don't need something so expensive and high end.

If you do it often enough, what is the current state of your iron? What brand are you using? Are you happy with it? What would you hope to get out of a different/higher end flat iron? Do the reviews bear that out?

A final thing to consider, we know Ulta does these promotions yearly/bi-yearly. If your current iron is in perfectly good shape, it will likely last until another one of these pop up. Perhaps it won't be this particular iron on sale, but they do usually do a high end flat iron. Perhaps, by that time you'll have enough points accumulated that you can justify the price? Perhaps there will be an even better one available as technology improves or the ones like this will have decreased in price?

Thanks for the in-depth reply!! Looks like you are very knowledgeable on hair tools so please analyze the below for me if you can. I have Asian hair, a lot of them my hair is also thick so I usually get my Japanese straightening perm once every six months and I try to stretch them out as long as I can. I recently cut my hair shorter and hence I have less weight to hold down my frizzy hair which is why I figured I prob need a flat iron. Just to ease the frizz and the sometimes unruly hair in the morning. I won’t be flat iron in my entire head but just the front and the outer layer. I have one flat iron that I barely use but also because I bought it when I was in high school and it’s just a random one. Not a great one too barely works on my hair. I’m prob gonna use the flatiron two to three times a week so I would say quite often so I want a durable one. I went to ulta and consulted the hair department they recommended me the babyliss. It is very straight and lasted a long time but I don’t find my hair shiny as when I walk out a salon many people recommended me the GHD saying it is a celeb favorite and hair comes out shiny after ironing. I’m willing to pay, pricing is not my biggest concern. I guess what I’m trying to say is that is it worth it?
