Random Acts of Ulta Platinum Kindness

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick Sampler

Just a heads up there might be a cool Ulta Platinum Perk headed your way. Don’t ask me how, don’t ask me why but randomly Ulta (without me purchasing anything) sent me an Urban Decay Vice Lipstick Lip Pack in the mail which includes 24 samples of the new Vice Lipstick shades.

I’m still puzzling over the random act of kindness but hey, I’ll take it. I am an Ulta Platinum Member so, I imagine that’s somehow related to my Platinum status. The set is also available at Sephora.com using promo code UDVICES with any purchase.

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick Lip Pack

The weird thing is, I don’t see it offered as a gift with purchase at Ulta!

But, hey, like I said, I don’t mind the perk! I’ve already tried several shades of Vice Lipstick but I’ve been wanting more! This was a nice way to try out some new shades.

Hopefully as a Platinum Member you’ll be getting this little gift as well!

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    I got this in the mail too! It was such a nice suprise and a great way to figure out which shades I might purchase! (I am also a platinum member so I’m guessing it’s a platinum perk)

  • Caroline

    I got this in the mail last week! It was highly unexpected, but hey – I’ll take it! 🙂

  • Christina D.

    I got mine in the mail last week. The week prior, I received a Benefit Kabrow brow gel in the mail. Nice! There should be some perk for the ridiculous amount of money we spend to be Platinum (ditto for VIB Rouge at Sephora).

  • Jennifer

    I received that last week as well. It was very nicely done. I also received a sample size of a new Benefit brow product from Ulta the week before. I have always liked Ulta with their points that you can use for actual cash instead of samples. If a product I like is available at Sephora and Ulta, I always choose Ulta. In my opinion, this just ups their game even more. The only place they lack, is that they don’t do the in store samples like Sephora does.

    Interesting! Ulta sent me one of the new Benefit brow pencils recently as a Platinum Perk. I doubt I’ll get this one too.

    • Isabella Muse

      wow really? Kind of cool they are just randomly sending little samples out!

  • Ruth

    THIS^^ is what i wanted from Sephora Rouge! or let me order just the samples without having to spend $25. If i like it, i’ll probably order it for me and a couple more as gifts as well. or even do a play style of box for Rouge every couple of months.

  • yelena

    well that was nice, go ulta! I ordered mine on Sephora with the gift code and waiting for it in the mail 🙂

  • Heidi

    Oh, I hope I get one. I’m platinum and spend my fair share of money at Ulta!

  • Nikki

    I haven’t gotten anything from Ulta for being platinum. But I just reached platinum status a couple months ago so maybe that’s why? Maybe it’s a quarterly thing and I didn’t make it before the last quarter was over? I never got an email about the Lorac palette either. I want lipstick samples, lord knows the 40+ lip products I have now aren’t enough!

    • AC

      I didn’t get the first email they sent out about the Lorac pallette either, but I did get the one they sent this past weekend (ordered it immediately).

      I haven’t gotten anything from Ulta in the mail either, and I’ve been Platinum for several years now. However, I did get a couple of free things from them with emails they sent for free deluxe sample items. I got a Stila mascara and a hair mask.

  • Pamela

    I’m not going to lie. I placed an order at sephora just to get this lol

  • Aimee

    I keep hoping I get this! I’ve been Platinum for years and have never gotten a surprise in the mail..

  • Bya

    I ordered from Sephora & have this coming in the mail. Can’t wait to try out the new lip shades! It makes it so much easier when you know what shade looks good on you before just ordering at random & hoping! I think mine is coming today. Enjoy experimenting when you receive yours!!

  • Rainey4Pres

    I’m platinum at ulta, why aren’t I getting any surprises in the mail? booooo

    • Amanda

      I feel the same way. I keep hoping I’ll get a platinum perk in the mail. 🙁

  • Jill

    I got mine, but someone at the post office decided to tear into it, open the seal that holds the samples closed, and tape the massive rip while leaving the box open. I don’t feel comfortable using them after that. I’ve written to Ulta Customer Service to see if I can get a new one because I’m really disappointed that the postal service tampered with my box like that.

  • Jinytte

    I got the free benefit pencil in the mail but not the urban decay. (I hit platinum in February and have since spent about $1000? at Ulta) So maybe I only got the benefit item or (very likely) the post office snatched or lost this.

  • Holly

    Ulta doesn’t like me! Platinum and no presents! Lol Oh well, bought a few Vice lipsticks and used the Sephora code for the sampler! I’m being lipstick greedy lol

  • Carol G

    Wow, surprised to hear you all got an eyebrow pencil in the mail randomly. I haven’t gotten my mail in two days so here’s hoping this UD Vice sample is there. I’ve been platinum for several years now and spend a TON of money at Ulta so it kinda disappoints me to hear other people getting things but I’m not. They really should be sending these samples to ALL platinum members. I also placed an order at Sephora to get this but if Ulta is just randomly giving them for free then I’m clearly getting the shaft from Ulta. 🙁

  • Adrienne

    My comment is a little late but I had to wait until I received my shipment. I was disappointed as I did not receive the Vice samples from Ulta. I am also Platinum and have been for many years. I put the brow pencil in my basket but I guess they were all out because I didn’t get that either. Maybe its regional or just random.

  • Carrie

    I got this too, and was excited as it has a few of the shades I want, so I can try it before. I might be swinging by tomorrow or Friday to pick some up. Didn’t get the brow pencil tho.

  • Christina

    I got this from Ulta a couple of weeks ago; a nice little perk!
