Is the Ulta 10x day today?

[persa]

Reddit says it is but I didn't get an email and I don't see the offer on my app. I'm platinum.

[pumpkin]

I'm not aware of this being today and I'm platinum too.

[pantsparty]

I haven't seen anything.

[persa]

I guess they go live tomorrow. Bummer that Garnier isn't a listed brand, that's the brand I needed stuff from.

[pantsparty]

Here's the link: www.ulta.com/platinum10x/

[secretlyevil]

I just got the email! This is not a drill. 😂

[persa]

So I didn't remember this was only on certain brands, I wish I had realized, that since the stuff I needed isn't included and I could have bought it when there was 20% off and 3x points. Oh well, live and learn.Boo

I feel like it's always a crap shoot. I'll pick up something only to find out that the next day I get a couple or extra points or something. It's highly frustrating!!

[ESF]

Woohoo!

I also gambled and held out. Fortunately for me it paid off. I needed shower gel (Philosophy or Soap & Glory), Gimme Brow, and an oil cleanser. Unfortunately my Skinfood oil cleanser is OOS, but maybe I will try Julep. I was hoping for a couple other things (last year I know all mascaras were 10x) but oh well.

I may also grab something fun from one of the 10x brands, like a NARS blush or something.

[pantsparty]

I think I'm going to pick up a couple of the Buxom Full-on Lip Sticks, some Essie polishes, and probably more Batiste.

I got an Essie gel polish (the ones you don't need a light for), but I can't think of anything else I need. I got one when I cashed in my points and I really like the formula. It does not last 2 weeks, but regular polish lasts 3 hours before chipping on me so I'm good with about 5 days.

Check your other offers!!

I've got a 5x on various lipstick brands (Mac, Smashbox, etc) in my offers and I just did a test. It is stacking -10x on those!

Does it need base coat and top coat?

Ooh, I got 5X points on all ulta.com purchases in my offers! I also have the lipstick offer.

The 5x on all purchases is part of platinum day (so the 10x offers won't stack on that, but the non-platinum day offers, like the 5x on certain lipstick brands will.

Oh sweet, OK I feel less annoyed about the Garnier thing, lol

You need to buy the top coat, but no base coat. It's like the sally Hanson one that works well too, however I think the Essie is better quality polish. I have a light pink in both and the SH one is streaky in the light colors. The Essie one was not streaky and went on great. For the record, dark and metallic SH ones apply nice.

Oh I'm so tempted by the Nars velvet lip set now.

So I tried to click the link "Activate Now" and it wasn't clickable. Am I doing something wrong, or do I just get to purchase and it will know I'm platinum?

Log in, and go to this page.

www.ulta.com/ulta/myaccount/rewards_template.jsp?page=rewards

Scroll down to where it says "bonus offers" - it will tell you if it's activated, and if not, you should be able to activate there.

Yeah...I missed that or would have thrown something in my cart. ::shakes fist:: I stocked up on my foundations, got a couple of refills for an empty and near empty. The $$ added up quickly.

It's free shipping on all orders!   (devil)

Of course, I have $159 in my cart (1476 points), which feels excessive and I'm trying to decide what to part with....

But those points are worth $75, aren't they?  (devil)

[Pippin]

Nothing I wanted was 10x the points but yay for free shipping. I just ordered a a new thing of the Nip Fab face pads and used a code for a free full size of the new Neutrogena foundation.

I would up pulling out a couple items. I think my pre-tax total was $135 or so. Got nearly 1200 points.

I'm at 2000 points again. I think I spent less than $350 to get there.

[Laura Palmer]

I was tempted to buy more and get more points, but I just hit 2000 with this purchase and spent only $70. I didn't need to spend it, but I figure that $70 paid for itself with the additional points I'll redeem next 20% off.

[secretlyevil]

My stuff is estimated to arrive Thursday. I'll take it.

[persa]

I ended up spending $110 and 888 points. I'm happy with my purchases. Nothing outrageous, I think it was like 15 items for that much.
