WOW that's a lot of points. Excellent haul BTW. I am sure that you had a great sense of satisfaction when you saw the final total!

It is a lot of points but if you are smart, they add up quick. Once you hit platinum level Ulta will send out emails that have 10x points for a day 5x points for a day. So when they do that I tend to stock up on things for Christmas presents, like a perfume that is $90, therefore I get 900 points...score! I love when they have 10x points with a 20% off coupon and that is when I stock up on my razors, qtips, cotton pads, etc.

If you work the program right, your points will add up FAST! I really wish I had figured this out sooner. Do you have to requalify for Platinum next year? Or is it like Sephora's where qualifying this year carries over to the next year as well? (just trying to figure out if I should bother trying to get to Platinum this year or if I should wait)

I just recently signed up with Ulta's rewards program so I am sure it will take me some time to accumulate points. But thanks for sharing some of your experiences with the program!  You really have the system down to a science, lol. Hopefully I can hit that platinum level one day.

I did almost all of my shopping when there were point bonuses. I earned more points in a single purchase last month than I spent today thanks a 10x point promo.

Saks Beauty Week is going on now, which means you get the tote bag with samples inside *___* and a cosmetics bag.  This is what I ordered:

Uwaaaaah~!

  I'm really loving that YSL makeup bag!
 
Picked up a bottle of Annabelle iTransformer today, which seems like an easy-to-get and inexpensive pigment/baked eyeshadow mixing medium. I haven't used it on my eyes yet but on the back of my hand it definitely upped the colour and finish of some of my mac mineralize shadows. Does anyone have any experience with it?

 
Today, I went to Ulta and bought a Nyx lipstick in 626, Aveeno ultra calming daily moisturizer with spf 15, 3-in-1 Beauty Smoothie in Go Go Guava, and yes to cucumber facial towelettes. 

 
UD Black Market eyeliner pencil set! I see that a whole lot of companies have just announced their holiday sets over the past few days, so I think I will be spending this evening making a list of what I want. I can get only those items between now and the end of the year. And then I will probably go back to my no-buy next year. I had decided that I could get whatever I wanted this year because I was starting with basically nothing (the UD Alice in Wonderland palette and the purple stila smudge stick I got in my Birchbox in January 2012), but now I have more than enough, so I'll be cutting down to pretty much nothing but subs next year. But! This year isn't over yet! I still have three more shopping months to go!

 
Because Villains.
 


 

  • e.l.f. Disney Villains Evil Queen and Maleficent Look Books 
  • Wet 'n Wild Comfort Zone palette
  • random rhinestone encrusted spider ring
​

I had to go to 4 Walgreens before I found Maleficent. I blame Angelina Jolie.

My Walgreens doesn't normally sell elf, but they do have these! Maybe worth checking, if you haven't already.

I keep telling myself I don't need these, but I should probably just buy them before they sell out...I know I'll regret it if I don't!

I've already looked at all of them. None of them even knew what I was talking about. WOE. :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 


Okay, this is what I've hauled this month - or what made me fail my no-buy. *sigh*

• Clarins Splendours quad

• MAC Feed the Senses lipstick

• Clinique Colour Surge Eyeshadow Quad 101 Teddy Bear

• Clarins Instant Smooth Crystal Lipgloss 02 Crystal Plum

• Chanel Stylo Eyeshadow 27 Pink Lagoon

• Dior Jelly Lip Pen 516 Copacabana

Plus essentials such as makeup remover (Clinique Take the Day Off cleansing balm), lip balm (Nuxe Rêve de Miel), body lotion and a clear nail polish (for making nail polish with mineral eyeshadow samples).

I sure hope October is a more successful no-buy month...
