Well I mean the fragrances of their popular scented ones. Even the Chocolate one has hazelnut or something like that. I've checked each time, lol. Unless I missed one. Then PB&J, now this one. When you have a nut allergy there's a bit of paranoia where even the smell can make you sick. I legit walk with an Epipen everywhere.

Was genuinely asking. That's a shame you're excluded! At least money saved?

It's my life in general, a lot of people don't know what people with these allergies go through so it's business as usual for them, I mean why take into account people who have allergies when they don't, you know? A lot of brands use, almond oil, macadamia nut oil, etc. I have to check everything. There's a bit of a debate whether topical items can cause allergic reactions but I don't want to be a guinea pig or find out. I've had an allergic reaction once and I seriously thought I was going to die. It was so scary. I have to be super diligent in restaurants, my kids nor hubby can eat nuts. I'm a total buzz-kill. But I grew up eating them, peanut butter out of the jar and everything then one day in my 20's, boom, it was over. Same thing with a lot of other foods. *sigh* Oops, sorry for the long irrelevant to Ulta post, lmao!

I think it's perfectly ok to go a little off topic here and there. Plus it's still in relation to makeup sold at Ulta, so there!
I can't imagine having to deal with that. I'm such a picky eater as it is, I would starve! Although, that might not be so bad these days according to the bathroom scale, lol!

In Ulta-related...ness, I have about 3000 points saved up. What should I buy? Or should I save them for something amazing coming to Ulta? I love Ulta's point system and the fact that they are carrying more and more brands. :cowdance:

I love their points system as well! Unfortunately, no matter what I try, I can't order online. Their system has a glitch and my account is one of several with the problem and their customer service is piss poor... So I can only rack up points when I'm stateside and can actually get to a store. Their deluxe samples corner is pretty awesome as well.

This makes me sad. I agree their customer support for online issues is very lacking. They seem confused by their own system. Starting a new account hasn't solved it? Or b/c you are international?

I've always tried by using my sister's card which is a US issued card with a US billing address. I would have to try with another email but I just didn't want to lose my points standing (I'd have to start over to become platinum again).

Just got a 20% coupon I can use on prestige brands. Woohoo! Okay, I have nothing to use it on. UD stuff I don't want to because I have a $10 Kickback with them. I thought I'd get my foundation ELDW, my shade is sold out. ABH MR is sold out. Now I'm looking for stuff to buy and that doesn't make sense.

Ha, yeah, don't waste your money. Do they have any good gift sets to give as birthday/holiday gifts?

I received that coupon this morning as well and unfortunately, I ran across the same issue as you. There were a few things that I wanted that were sold out, however, I checked my favorites list and ended up buying a few items that I'd been wanting for awhile now and used my points to pay for the whole purchase. They usually send out these coupons to use on prestige brands a few times towards the end of the year (I don't know if they're usually sent to all Ultamate Reward members or just Platinum members) so if you can't find anything you want to purchase today, I'm sure they'll send out another coupon sometime this year and hopefully what you want will be in stock or they'll have some new items that you're interested in buying.

I hate when companies do that! If the order total is over the shipping limit before the coupon, then it should still be free shipping.

Totally agree and I think it's high time Ulta has a shipping program like Sephora's Flash anyway! :rolleyes:

Thinking about Smashbox Culver City. Their holiday blush and highlight palette looks like a lot of the colors are too light.
