1 Do not keep the products you don't want.
It is not uncommon to buy or order something and decide later that it was not the right choice. This happens even more often with makeup, because you never know what type of perfume or shadow will work best (unless you use a tester, but more on this subject later).
But if you buy something in Ulta that you do not end up loving, the former employees say that there is no reason to hang on to it.
"You can turn everything and anything up to 6o days, even unpredictable Or even the box, "said Tiktker @ rocio.rosses, an ex-U-used. This even applies to the makeup you have used.
However, there are some stipulations, underline the old partners. First of all, you must have a loyalty account via the ultimate reward program, explains @ rocio.rosses.
Second, you must have used less than 10 to 20% of the product, according to @greeneggsandglam, tiktker and former director of the Ulta. In a video of April 2021, it holds a bottle of serum with little or no product, using it as an example of something for which Ulta will not reimburse you.
2 Testers may not be the cleanest.
One way to avoid buying the wrong product is to use a tester in store. Ulta Associates could offer you a sample, but even if it comes from a cotton swab, think twice before applying it.
"There is no real means of disinfect these lipsticks , "Tiktok User @ xo.xo.darlin dit, declaring that she worked at Ulta, Bloomingdales, Macy's, Sephora and Nordstrom." Once a liquid cream or powder has been contaminated, there is no real way that a beauty advisor can disinfect with a little alcohol. ""
For this reason, the ex-Associa says you should never put these products on your lips. "You can exchange them on your hands if you wish, but darling, don't put it on your lips."
In the comments section, another employee EX-US echoes this warning. "[It is] so serious about how they disinfect the makeup area and samples are barely consuming alcohol."

3 Not everyone is a makeup expert.
When you make up or need an expert opinion, you could turn to the Associates in Ulta for some tips. But according to Jomayra, another former alleged employee using the Tiktok @ Justjagain27 handle, you will want to be careful Consulting .
"Let's say that you go on the ground and that you ... ask someone a question. You can meet one of the three people," said Jomayra. "You can meet a prestigious consultant, someone who was trained by Ulta to know the makeup and understand things - the brands come in and teach them and they get branding, so they can try makeup. . They know what they are talking about. "
However, you could also ask someone who is a style advisor, according to Jomayra, aka someone who is only trained to be a cashier and not trained in Ulta makeup. The Tiktker claims that she was hired as a highlight advisor and used her own experience to recommend products if customers have asked. (Although she also warns that if a buyer asked questions about a product she wore that was not Ulta, a manager asked her to lie and say that it was.)
The third person you may meet is a brand representative, says Jomayra. "[In] some stores, it is quite obvious - if they have a clinical counter or a lancôme meter or naked minerals or something else - they have someone that works this meter, they are paid to push this product mainly. "" However, sometimes "guest representatives" can be dressed as a "regular ulta employee", but are strictly there to sell a brand.
"So, if someone strangely tells you: 'Oh, you should really have the beauty of the juice' '... And this and this can be a brand representative there to sell as much of his product as possible "Explains Jomayra.
4 Be selective on what you use your points.
If you have an ultimate reward account, you probably know the Ulta's punctual system. As explained by the former Associa and Tiktoker @ericasaysstuff, there are some key elements to the Ulta three -level program , which, according to her, is "much better than any other point system".
For reference, a Free membership in ultimate awards has no expenditure requirements and earn you one point per $ 1 spent, while Platinum subscription has a minimum of expenses of $ 500 and earn you 1.25 points per $ 1. Diamond members have an expense requirement of $ 1,200, but earn 1.5 points for each $ 1.
The Tiktker recommends downloading the ULTA application as a quick way to follow sales and activate points, but warns buyers against the use of these "small increasing" points.
"If you are a frequent leaflet, use them by 2,000 points. This is how you get the most for your money," says the Tiktker, noting that 2,000 points are equal to $ 125. This is worth the wait, because 100 points are equal to only $ 3 of reduction and 1,000 points are worth $ 50.
You must also pay attention when Ulta offers the points on purchases five times, as you will accumulate more points and collect the advantages later.

There are a lot of Tiktok videos where Ulta employees share their opinions on the products that are Worth your money , compared to those who are not, but if you have the heart set to a specific article, a tiktker says that you could find a coupon by typing "coupon" in the search bar of the Ulta or The Ulta Beauty application. When you do this, an offer and a scannable barcode should populate if a coupon is available.
Another former employee recommends shopping via the application if you are looking for some of the largest discounts. "This is a secret of an ex-cult employee," said Tiktker @kimmydoodlecakes. She recommends opening the ULTA application, click shop , then the sale and the coupons, then the sale, which will bring you to a page with all the Ulta sales products. Quite simple, right? However, the real trick is how you visualize the products.
"When you press the sorting, you will [select] the price from bottom to top," explains the tiktker. In the video, the products appear which are on sale for six and 12 cents. "Look at all these hidden gems that are on sale right now, like 90% of half of them. Go get them before selling."
