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.

@NatureGirlSD Thank you so much for that very helpful list!

[mermaid805]

Lol at the caboodles comment @NatureGirlSD! Unfortunately, I kept mine until I moved about a year ago and my niece saw it.... and lol now it’s hers. She couldn’t resist the bright color block neons of the 80’s, and I never thought I’d miss it! However, with a growing collection of samples to contain and after seeing some of the new models that 20% off and caboodles doesn’t seem like a bad idea!!

[NatureGirlSD]

If it's in your price range, I swear by the Soho Silver Pro traincase, which also comes in white or black with silver trim. It's sturdy/well-made, stable instead of tippy, & fits so much. The fold-out trays on top of each other on both sides are great for organizing items by type and when they're open there's a large storage area for extras, palettes, sprays, etc. (I've seen them listed on Amazon, but I think they're fakes based on some of the reviews about how flimsy they are.)  @mermaid805

[Loretta55]

Thank you so much for the list @NatureGirlSD. I never knew which brands were good to use with the non prestige coupon.

[Ispend2much6]

@NatureGirlSD  Thank you, that's very helpful!  I am always racking my brain on how to use the non-prestige coupons.

I'd also like to put in a plug for Winky Lux's lipsticks and their highlighters.  Just beautiful!  I ordered some the other day.

I'd tell you that I'd leave swatches soon, but they were shipped via Narvar, so I won't be seeing them anytime soon...

[NatureGirlSD]

You're very welcome and I'm glad it helped. I've only been shopping Ulta for a year, so I'd already spend some time going through the non-prestige brands each time the coupons came up. Offhand, I've got great deals on staples like an Aquis towel, the Soho pro train case, and a few pairs of Tweezerman tweezers, among others.

This topic seems to come up every once in a while, so creating a comprehensive list of brands & the products we love by them might be helpful, if anyone's interested and up for starting it. Maybe in a separate thread or shared Google doc? Any suggestions would be great.

@Ispend2much6 That's good to know about Winky Lux lippies. I love their Charm highlighter since it's so subtle, but I'd also like to try out the one they offer with the cat bag just for fun. 😄

[sharplvn]

Used. Thank u 🙌🏼

[mezzotown88]

@sharplvn glad you used it.. I was actually looking for this email for 30 mins last night so I can  post my code here lol. After searching all my emails from ulta and going through each one of them the email with this free lippie was nowhere to be found in my inbox...later  I went over to my trash and searched again and there it was! the free lippie email! 

.. I don't remember ever deleting this email.

t's strange because I usually keep emails from Ulta. Must have delete it by mistake! Anyway Enjoy!

[jessikacast]

Won't be using mine. Enjoy!

[mezzotown88]

@jessikacastThanks so much! Bought the new real techniques brush set with your coupon! 

[jessikacast]

Awesome!

[Imightneedthis]

Usgwp just posted that Ulta would have a 20% off  NONPRESTIGE generic code on Sunday, 8/26 Sigh.... not what I was hoping for😔

[CC3616]

I was bummed when I saw it this morning, but it’s probably a good thing for me to not be tempted to cash in my points since there’s nothing I really need right now!

[socalsunflower]

The $60 bag is showing OOS now 😢

[ClassicallyFab]

[sabrinas]

@ClassicallyFab I got two of those mask sets! And remembered I got a free buxom gloss coupon woohoo! Itll be a mask night for me!

[RGbrown]

Quiet night, but it looks like a teeny tiny Platinum Perk day, plus the new Dior scent is up.
