Do You Wait For A Good Ulta GWP Before Hitting Submit On Your Cart or Are You All Like, “I NEED THIS SH1T NOW!” A La Veruca Salt

What is it they say? Patience is a virtue? I was born without that virtue. New Yorkers don’t have that gene! We want it and we want it NOW! Yesterday in fact. I’ve always wondered if people let stuff sit in there Ulta basket and just let it marinade until a good little gift with purchase comes along.

Anyone do that?

Today they have that double cleanse set if you spend $50 and I was sitting here thinking to myself, “If you just waited on that small order you had in your cart you could have gotten in on that freebie!” But nope, I didn’t wait! I clicked submit like a reckless fool and gleefully watched the screen flick to my order number telling me my package would be on my way minus my gift with purchase that I was too impatient to wait for.

And I have no regrets.

No remorse.

Not a sorry in me.

If I want something, I WANT IT NOW!

I rarely wait for the GWPs to pop up.

Do you wait for them?

Or do you just live like a rebel and free ball your orders without a gift with purchase?

Do share!

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. If you’re that person feel free to reach out and leave a comment or follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Bloglovin‘.

    Yesterday I placed a $200 order from Ulta and didn’t see the mascara sale and today the skincare is there and I didn’t get either one! 🙁

      AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! Right there with ya! Ordered on Monday didn’t get either one! Sometimes I get impatient and just can’t wait so submit, submit, submit!

      I almost sprang for the mascara, but remembered the ~10 minis I have already. The older I get, the more I can wait. It�s easier once you know you need nothing, and are into the �love it or leave it� part of life. I spend at the point multipliers and use points on the 20s, etc. Seems to work for me. Since carts last longer than cockroaches (They survive nuclear winter) I often have an unintended cart when I go to a site. Makes me realize that I fulfilled my Nancy Reagan duty to Just Say No!

    I always wait. Ulta has gifts so often I’m sometimes able to double up and grab two gifts with purchase in one order.

    I always wait for one! Unless, I have a coupon for free shipping. In that case, if I just need one thing, I will normally order it without the gift with purchase. I am a diamond though, so I have a minimum buy in of $25 for free shipping. So, I very rarely order things without a gift with purchase, ha ha

    Oh I�ve learned Ulta�s ways and it�s a VERY rare occasion when I don�t wait for a GWP . . .

    Sorry Darling! I want a DEAL so I’m gonna wait. I want the best bang for my buck. We really must beat the retailer’s at their game, or at least try. Don’t cha think? I’m waiting now for the next 20% coupon. Yes, I know it will be a while but the perfume I want is not to be found on any wholesale websites yet. Since I have a big Ulta reward to be used I will combine them. I’m not desperate so I’ll hold out.

      LOL truth Geri truth! Sometimes I get impatient though! ;-D WHICH perfume!? curious minds 😀 AG’s new one!?

    As a fellow New Yorker, I understand your lack of patience lol. However, for Ulta, I usually do like to wait to buy until there�s a good GWP especially since we no longer get to pick free samples at checkout.
