I'm excited so many brands are moving to ulta, but nervous this will end some of what I love about it like the sales and lower priced items. It's nice to grab something I've been eyeing for half off every once in a blue moon and I love walking through the drugstore section and just grabbing a little something that catches my eye. If ulta keeps picking up high end brands, I'm nervous they'll dump the lower price points.
Sephora won’t be closing down, of course, but they should definitely be rethinking their rewards program! That’s why most people are saying Ulta is where it’s at. I’d much rather spend my coin at Ulta knowing they have so many point multiplier days or I could use my points I’ve been saving to pay for it. If you’re not Rouge you can’t even get that $100 reward they have and using 500 points for $10 is not worth it.
I’d have stayed Sephora if they hadn’t changed their return policy. With young kids and working full time, sometimes making it in for a return in 30 days isn’t feasible
This is amazing news. I’ve been trying to move my spending from Sephora to Ulta for the better rewards. Natasha Denona, Charlotte Tilbury, Tatcha, and Olaplex were my biggest Sephora purchases that Ulta didn’t carry, so this makes me super happy.
Me too! I have both credit cards and I must say I've earned more valuable points with Ulta than Sephora. This year I'm trying to shop at Ulta more to see for myself which reward system is better and this totally just made it easier.
I will say though, Shoppers Drug Mart (Pharmaprix in French Canada) is starting to get some great options. A lot of high ends are moving to drug stores. The points with Shoppers plus the double day points are amazing! Definitely 100% greater than Sephora points since everything is constantly out or way too tiny.
The CT website ships to Canada for free and without duties, you get 10% when you register a new email address, two CT samples at check out…I went to the US regularly pre covid and while I like shopping at Ulta I don’t think we are especially underserved when it comes to a brand like CT.
I'm jealous of people that have a great Ulta. My closest one is so cramped and somehow always faces the sun so it's way too bright and uncomfortably hot. Ty for listening to my rant.
Yesss. All the ones around me suck. They’re dirty and everything has been opened. They plop skincare on a shelf right above a lightbulb and it’s boiling hot. I hate going in there. Where are these magical Ultas?!
I shop online 99% of the time. I'm trying to shop at Ulta more to test their reward system. So far I have to admit I'm liking it more (I also have the credit card which helps with points, but the points have been more valuable).
Mine somehow always has low stock and never gets the newer brands, so I continue to shop at Sephora. New partnerships doesn’t mean much if accessibility is so poor. Plus there is no minimum shipping threshold at Sephora. 🤷♀️
I get frustrated with their coupons because sometimes they're member specific (last year I think I only got 1 20% off including prestige) but they definitely have more point multiplier days and coupons on non-prestige items often so I think in the long run it will be more advantageous to shop Ulta.
The magic concealer (wand) hides my dark circles really well and is also a good shade match. It's hard for me to find both qualities in one product. Now I'm hooked on their (her?) creme eyeshadows (champagne). Not a fan of the loose powder. I got it because it's cheaper than the Hourglass powder, but next time I'll go back to Hourglass.
The people at my local Sephora tend to be more helpful than at my local Ulta in my experience, so I’ll probably stick with Sephora. But I guess that’s probably just store loyalty rather than brand loyalty
Def. I'm not necessarily close to either store so I just shop online. The people at my closest Ulta are never helpful so I think it's a hit or miss thing.
I have always been a Sephora person, but recently just started buying things here and there from ulta. And I realized that ulta has a superior rewards program and has way better samples. Sephora often just give out packets of samples while ulta give out full travel
Wow this is amazing news! My HG foundation is CT’s airbrush flawless & I use her blushes and eyeshadows daily! My local Sephora doesn’t carry CT but hopefully Ulta does!

well they’re in Target too where they also sell low priced items! I dont think Ulta would since it works?
Now ulta just needs rare beauty and Sol de Janeiro

Soooo not fetch.
Why is the reward system at Ulta better? I never really shop there.

I just need Ulta to get Kerastase and Replica perfume and I’ll be set!
This is amazing… the three brands that I dreamed Ulta would have were olaplex, CT, and rare beauty. 2/3 is pretty good!
cries in Canadian

So sad they stopped shipping to Canada 😭
I'm with you.
Ok but where’s the official confirmation on this 😭 I heard the same thing about fenty and NOTHING!!
They sent out the store set up maps for Fenty so it definitely should be happening soon
Sephora needs to start having bigger sales, I’m over 20%
I wish…or do it more often
Sephora will have to step up their game.

Your store is bathed in Ulta-violent Lights.

i’m in Canada and ULTA ended up cancelling their expansion plans so 😢

Ulta get your ass to Canada! I'm here ready to hand over all my dollars ☺️
Wow Ulta is crushing it with getting new brands lately!
Oh yay I have an Ulta gift card to use
This might get lost, but someone messaged me and said Sephora has an exclusive agreement with CT so I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.
And ulta offers way more coupons !
I get frustrated with their coupons because sometimes they're member specific (last year I think I only got 1 20% off including prestige) but they definitely have more point multiplier days and coupons on non-prestige items often so I think in the long run it will be more advantageous to shop Ulta.
I've never used any Charlotte Tilbury products but y'all are making me think I should!

I’ve loved every product I’ve tried of hers!! It’s expensive but so worth it IMO!
I'm a Sephora girl (more stores, better choice in stock).
The people at my local Sephora tend to be more helpful than at my local Ulta in my experience, so I’ll probably stick with Sephora. But I guess that’s probably just store loyalty rather than brand loyalty

I can’t at people thinking Sephora is going out of business or something 😂 they’ll be just fine.
Oh 100%. As much as I only want to shop at one location, there will always be something at Sephora I want.
yuuup this pretty much sealed the deal for me with ulta lol
I need Laneige and Glow Recipe over and I'm good.
Glow Recipe 🙌
Between this and ulta stocking olaplex now, I’m finding it harder and harder to justify putting up with Sephora’s shit. 😂
If Ulta could get Pat McGrath and Natasha Denona then I would almost never shop at Sephora at this point.
Sephora makes my heart skip a beat in a way that Ulta could not lol
I have always been a Sephora person, but recently just started buying things here and there from ulta. And I realized that ulta has a superior rewards program and has way better samples. Sephora often just give out packets of samples while ulta give out full travel
I've never received a sample from Ulta. Are you getting them with online purchases?
I just WISH they would CARRY these brands in store. I live in southern california, and we don't have any of the new brands announced
Wow this is amazing news! My HG foundation is CT’s airbrush flawless & I use her blushes and eyeshadows daily! My local Sephora doesn’t carry CT but hopefully Ulta does!
I’m absolutely meh on Ulta. I been there once. It reminds me too much of Home Depot or Lowe’s as far as the experience as a customer goes.
Ulta is not a regular mom she’s a cool mom.
I saw a rumor that Sephora is letting these brands that they own go to Ulta because they could be buying them out. That would be wild.
If Ulta got Natasha Denona I'd almost never be in Sephora
Is charlotte tilbury really moving to Ulta? I can’t find that it is anywhere.
Someone messaged me and said CT has a contract with Sephora so it's questionable. I hope it's true, but only time will tell.
Sephora…you’re FIRED 🤣
[удалено]
If you have the Ulta app it shows you how many points you have and how much cash off its worth :) I currently have $20.50 in rewards points.
I’ll always prefer Sephora over ulta 🤷🏼♀️. I don’t care if Ulta has “better” rewards. My Sephora points never expire.
[удалено]
The day Huda arrives to Ulta I’m out Sephora!
I want Huda!!!
Yay! All they need is Fenty and Huda and all my money will go to them. Sephora's member rewards have been disappointing.
fenty is going to Ulta soon too ☺️
Where did you find this information, because I can’t find it anywhere online?
Trendmood, but CT isn’t leaving sephora.
finally some CT items will be in stock
Oh shit peace out Sephora this was it badically
Rare Beauty, Maison Margiela Replica, Sol Do Janiero and Topicals are all I need to never shop at Sephora again lol. Wouldn't mind Milk too.
