20% Off at Ulta Isn’t Coming Anytime Soon

I’ve lost hope they’ll ever be a 20% Off coupon code from Ulta. The current targeted $15 off $75 coupon I got is good until November 22nd I believe and Black Friday is right around the corner so, I really don’t think Ulta would combine Black Friday deals with a 20% off coupon. Do they have plans to do 20% off in December? Again, I doubt it! Why? Everyone is taking precautions to stop the spread of COVID and also, they are trying really hard to stop a mad crush of Black Friday shoppers from creating a heavy loaded on UPS, FedEx, etc….in order to do this many department stores and online sites have been having early sales. For example, Macy’s goes live with Black Friday Deals on November 16th this year. I don’t see Ulta dumping a 20% Off coupon at us in December and creating a ton of shipment lag. You know how much of their customer base they would piss off if they offered 20% Off and proceeded to not be able to get orders out before Christmas?

The reason I decided 20% off was a no go for November is because the current coupon is valid until November 22nd. I would have kept some hope alive for a sale next week if this coupon expired sometime this week. But sadly, it runs almost through the entire month.

So, here we are without 20% off. Sucks.

Do you think we’ll get 20% off still? I think it might be after the Holiday season but I hope I’m wrong.

I did spend my $15 off $75!

Here’s what I got!

Judge me if you must be but I picked up Ariana Grande Cloud Perfume. I misted this on me several months ago when I was at Ulta but COVID started and I never got around to picking a bottle up and sort of forgot about it. I actually like this a lot. It’s sort of a unisex scent to me. It’s warm and comfy with a bit of a cotton-y note! Sometimes you just need to buy the celebrity scent ya know?

The stupid Fourth Ray Beauty The Daily Eye Cream has been out of stock for ages on Colourpop’s website! I finally realized that Ulta carries it. I’ve been curious about this for a while as it contains squalane and shea butter! My eyes are dry as hell lately so I’ve been stocking up on different eye creams!

I also picked Fourth Ray Beauty The Daily Face Cream because why not? Matching set right? This also contains squalane which is sort my new ingredient of choice!

And finally I snagged the MAC Boom Boom Wow Mini Advent Calendar! Yeah, I’m tempted to keep it for myself but it’s actually a gift for someone!

Did you use your coupon?

    I love Cloud perfume!! I have a bottle at my place and my boyfriend’s! No judgement on it–just love.

    Also, I agree with the 20% off. Part of me still hopes, but I think next time there is a decent GWP, I’ll make my holiday gift order and cash in my points.

      I love it! It smells so cozy 😀 thanks for not judging me haha! ;-D Yeah that may be what I do too! I don’t see 20 coming anytime soon!

    Ultra is making hard for me to want to stay Platinum status this year. Last year I was getting 20% off left and right and it was worth it. I understand about COVID effected things this year, but I manage my own wallet like as if it were a business. My finances are my priority and it is not my obligation to spend my money to keep a company in business. I am halfway to Platinum and can go for it and hope next year is different or I can say forget it and cash out my rewards. Still deciding.

    I’m still deciding on what to use my coupon for (does it end this weekend?). I did just order the ELF advent calendar, though.

    2 concealers (Clinique and mini Nars, in a different shade. Don’t like RCC much.) Tarte corrector. BM TM, new to me. What I want to know about the 15 off 75 is it a one and done, or if it can be used multiple times before 22 Nov.?

    Agree 100% that we aren’t getting a 20% off. I think this $15 off $75 IS the 20% off coupon this year – unfortunately. In fact, I rarely look at the back of my Ulta flyer I get in the mail, but I just happened to glance at it and saw the $15 off. I kinda shrugged at it but then I read the fine print – thank god – because it can be used on prestige too. So I thought to myself, Well I guess this is their way of giving us SOMETHING but not a full blown 20% off. Which sucks, because I always use it on high-priced perfume. So yeah, while they threw us a small bone with this $15 off, it’s not the greatest treat we would expect. I figured – like you – that they aren’t doing a 20% off because of the influx of orders they would receive. But it is interesting because this has to be affecting their bottom line, no? I know I won’t spend over $75. to get the $15. off when normally, with the 20% off coupon, I would spend hundreds…

      It seems hard to fit in 20% off somewhere ya know? If they do it in December that would really screw up their shipping! 15 off 75 is until November 22nd so that gives them a little window to do one but why would they when black friday falls just around that time. Again, shipping issues with having 20% off and black friday at the same time. I dunno maybe I’m wrong but I feel like that’s the coupon this year as well. last year, 20 off was in October. So, I don’t see it happening until maybe after the Holidays! I use it on fragrance too by the way! 🙂 I def would spend more with 20 off compared to the $15 off $75!

    I am a 49 year old totally obsessed with Ariana Grande perfumes! Call it my inner teen but I LOVE Cloud, I always get compliments whenever I wear it. It’s the perfume I use the most right now.

    • Isabella Muse

      😀 I’m glad I’m not alone! Totally love Cloud! I also enjoy some of other fragrances too!

    The $15 Ulta coupon actually did work for me this year since the Diamond sale included a 1/2 price on the Lancome La Vie Est Belle 3.4 bottle which is my sister’s fave so I got that at $64, added a few nail polishes to hit $75 and got the $15 off. Snagging a full size La Vie Est Belle for basically $50 was a steal.
