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.

@Danzie89 

Woohoo, congrats!

[RGbrown]

It's on! 10x select brands/items, 5x everything else, Saturday and Sunday for Platinum and Diamond members, online only!

Be sure to activate the multiplier before shopping (and if you are shopping around the time of me posting this, remember that multipliers won't show points until 2am central for no good reason 🙄)

Ulta dot com/diamond-platinum-appreciation-day

New gwp as well, choice of two at $80

And I missed it yesterday, but we've got a small app exclusive as well 

 

[sabrinas]

With this event and the sephora f&f event I have waaaaayyyyyy over spent this week! I am on a no buy for a long time! At least I got a total of 7400 points!

[makeitup305]

@sabrinas wow! amazing!

[greeneyedgirl107]

@RGbrown I just placed two orders.   Am thinking about a third...do you think they'll have any additional "surprises" like other GWP or additional brands over the weekend?

[RGbrown]

Looks like 10x/5x day(s) will start tomorrow? 

 

[greeneyedgirl107]

@RGbrown I haven't gotten my Ulta email yet today...I hope this isn't the time for me to stop getting them!

[RGbrown]

@greeneyedgirl107 

It wasn't an email, it was an app notification 😊

[greeneyedgirl107]

@RGbrown gotcha!  Thanks for the info!

[civ2ru]

@RGbrown Oooh! I didn’t expect it until the 14th. What’s everybody gonna get?

[greeneyedgirl107]

@civ2ru hoping to stocking up on Redken All Soft Heavy Cream.  Kitsch flat lay clips.  Try a Stila and Tarte eyeliner.   PMG lip gloss.  Maybe some Good Molecules.  Maybe a Clinique eyeliner; I think their glosses are still OOS.

[RGbrown]

@civ2ru 

I definitely wasn't expecting it early!

I feel like an oddball out, but I rarely pick up much 😮 I'm more tempted by good sale prices and nice gwps, and while 10x is a good return, I have a *very* hard time making myself spend full price lol.

That 10/40 BOPIS q will still be good though, so I might wind up with a small order or two nonetheless, if inventory lines up nicely for me 🤞

[civ2ru]

@RGbrown I hear you on the sales. I am starting to believe it must be against my programming to pay sticker price. For anything. Even if, in my case, I’d be earning 11x+ points (birthday month). Luckily, I still have my birthday $10 to spend, so it’s *like* a sale – on a small order. Still, I would like to buy something that wouldn’t turn around and go on sale anyway. I don’t know, maybe Hourglass? Any other brands that seldom (if ever) go on brand-specific sales? 🤔

[RGbrown]

@civ2ru 

Happy birthday! 🎂 Hourglass would be good, maybe Dior as well. Sadly the bday q still doesn't work on Chanel, ugh. Maybe some of the smaller fragrance brands too? I have no idea what their sale cycles might be like. (I'm eyeing that new Snif sampler, though no one around me carries it for the BOPIS q sadly, so I'll have to consider it some other time)

[civ2ru]

@RGbrown Dior isn’t included in 10x brands, so I think it’ll have to be Hourglass. I’m thinking one of those $69 Ambient Lighting edit palettes, that I appear to be collecting, that no one else carries. The only issue is the marbling, never know what you’re gonna get... Had to return one in the past because blush infused with sparkly finishing powder was 90% highlighter and 10% blush. I might have to get 2 and keep whichever one has better marbling. 

Do you remember if last year anything new dropped on day 2, any reason to hold out?

[RGbrown]

@civ2ru @greeneyedgirl107 

There weren't any new gwps for day two on the spreadsheet for the second day last year, so I'd have to guess the chances are low. @Loretta55 is right about Sunday being a big new arrivals day though...it's possible new items will show from brands included in the promo.

I've got one Hourglass blush that I got from Boxy and it's like that...mostly finishing powder, very little color 😣 

[greeneyedgirl107]

@RGbrown thanks so much for the info!  As always  you're awesome 😍 

[Loretta55]

I can’t say for sure but I have noticed that some new products show up on Sunday @civ2ru. Not sure if you like a glossy lip but I ordered 3 of the Hourglass Phantom Volumizing Glossy Lip Balm Sense . I got 3 of them last fall and they are comfortable. Also you may want to consider individual blushes and highlighters.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@Loretta55 those look interesting!  I marked some on my loves.  What's the color pay off like on these?  Do they have a strong menthol?  (I avoid that ingredient because I don't like the taste and get tingles from it.)

Also,  I notice tarte is included in the 10x the points.   What colors do you rec if the tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Balm .  I'm sure you mentioned before but I got confused during the national lipstick day sale.  I also cleaned up my Ulta and Sephora loves lists to make room...before I noticed my mistake.   No rush, tho...I know everyone is busy and I think my chances are low that I'll buy any more lippies right now.   Thank you! ❤️ 

[Loretta55]

My favorite shade of tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Balm is hibiscus @greeneyedgirl107. I would recommend purchasing it because if you have diamond status you will receive 360 points which does add up. I do feel menthol in  Hourglass Phantom Volumizing Glossy Lip Balm Sense . I personally like the effect. 

 I am disappointed in the GWP bags because they mainly have drugstore products.
