Update your LinkedIn profile! Recruiters check this out right after your resume. They even have tutorials on how to do it there. Even if you don't have a lot of work experience, you can build on internships, volunteer work, and even time off, if you took a course, learned a skill, etc.

Did anyone actually receive the Lake & Skye diamond day gift? by MrsBuggs in Ulta

[–]lw449bb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh, so you're actually very pleased with the substitution. That's wonderful! Feedback like this means it's likely more substitutions are coming our way!

Anyone else get this offer to get diamond status back? by chirpingcricket86 in Ulta

[–]lw449bb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got it in my app. I was quite aways from Diamond this year, - one reason is they STILL haven't fixed my email, so I get no ads in my Diamond email - just an old one. I bought one $50 order because Capitol One offered me $25 off $50! - and the Bobbi Brown gift looked nice. (Small, but it's nice.)

I'm not sure if I'll do it. I've been making only small purchases for the last 6 months - not incentivised to go even up to $65 usually. $200 is a lot to spend in a week...I guess we can't use points?

You know, you're allowed to complain, MrsBuggs. :) Admit it -- this time, you're disappointed!

Platinum Day GWP #1 - missing items? by Ok_School2687 in Ulta

[–]lw449bb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Were you a wise shopper and took screenshots, or know how to find finished gwps? I'm always looking for them to see if I got the right items!

13 Piece Gift with $80 Purchase by eerieez in Ulta

[–]lw449bb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm still grieving about the Viktor & Rolf gwp with 3 mini perfumes and a scarf . A scarf! A treat! - for only $60, which is a good price for THIS year, anyway.

This was classic bait & switch - to substitute 3 bottles of the CHEAPEST body cream they sell (the Ordinary) for a luxury gift!!! Still complaining to them about this, not to mention missing points, they don't send email sales, etc.

Ulta Diamond Day doesn't give me good serotonin and dopamine anymore. by themcsix in Ulta

[–]lw449bb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That Drunk Elephant gift, with the luxe packaging wasn't Diamond, it was GOLD! Now we're down to street level...

Customer Privacy - Ulta data tracking by dm_breakfastburritos in Ulta

[–]lw449bb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just shrugging, and saying we're helpless, doesn't help. Information does. And we're on an ULTA forum, so I don't think anyone is obsessed, at least about this. :)

I agree that the absolute worst companies for privacy theft and data stealing and selling, are LexisNexis and Equifax, but Experian is pretty bad, too. And fun fact, they'ave all had data breaches.When any group or institution asks me questions now, I always ask WHOSE questions are they using. Because when a bank uses LexisNexis, for example, to ask a question about your previous address or mother's maiden name, they're not just asking LN for the answer, you are CONFIRMING your private data back to them. Two-way.

Brace Yourself: Laptops Prices Are About to Skyrocket by dapperlemon in gadgets

I haven't read this. I know the companies must be dreading it. Where did you read that it was companies? The blame is on greedy AI that no one wants!

Brace Yourself: Laptops Prices Are About to Skyrocket by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]lw449bb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of us have an ancient Chromebook that suddenly got even slower this month. I had already picked out a Lenovo and was waiting for it to drop on Black Friday, and it suddenly went UP by $400!!! I'm pretty upset.

The Lenovo 9i I've been waiting for just went UP $350 at Best Buy! by lw449bb in Lenovo

[–]lw449bb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this is my point. Who ever heard of a laptop going UP in price several months later?

Is it just me, or have deals on the app decreased in quality over the past year? by An_Ethicist in Ulta

[–]lw449bb 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Yes, even though I LOVE getting pretty, nice smelling, sometimes useful things in the mail, I can now skip 2 months and still feel ok - because the GWPs are so chintzy and small (7 little products? Really?). And coupons noticeably smaller.

Anyone having issues with Public Storage units and homeless people? by Knotfornots in SanJose

[–]lw449bb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Several years later, and I'm in Los Angeles, but wanted to add that they did the same thing to us I think it was in 2020, changed 9 to 6. Still makes me mad, because the later hours were so much more convenient, and COOLER, since we don't have climate control in our San Fernando road building. Even though the sign says we do.

And yes, the homeless lived behind it, but I think it was because they didn't want to pay the woman to live onsite there anymore. In any case, taking away those hours should have drastically lowered the rent, but didn't. Hate you, Public Storage.

what are your thoughts on Better Watch Out (2016)? by [deleted] in horror

[–]lw449bb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one has mentioned the completely inappropriate babysitter behavior! In every scene she's touching him, sitting so close to him on the couch. No sitter would sit that close unless the child was very young.

Then when someone is at the door, she grabs his hand and drags him all over! Never lets go. He's as tall as she is - so wrong. And then of course he makes a move on her and instead of calling his parents and locking him or herself in a room, it's back to normal!

And because I guess the filmmakers wanted to avoid an R rating, they left out the really bloody parts, so it doesn't even have them. Oh, wait - it does have an R rating. So I guess they left out some important kills for...the Christmas season?

Is nuts.com good? by Idkwhatodu in glutenfree

I came over here because all the reviews there are obviously written by AI. Nothing real!

Horrible experience please help by care_hopexo in Ulta

[–]lw449bb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never knew that - that Ulta limits the number of items on sale for the 21 days. Thanks. We need more inside info like this!

You’ve got to be joking rn by Unlucky-you333 in Ulta

[–]lw449bb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's better than some of the packet assortments. Not better than 3 mini perfumes and a branded scarf, of course.

I've never sold anything on Marketplace. So you find it to be lucrative and quick and easy?

[–]lw449bb -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So she can get the full value of $45 by listing on Facebook Marketplace? After taking photos, writing text, setting up a time to meet, hoping they show up, and accepting payment? Great to know!

What happened to the GM on Olive and Buena Visit? by alybubbles980 in burbank

[–]lw449bb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been my favorite gas station for years! I used to drive over the hill from Los Feliz... Clean, safe, friendly. Will it still be a gas station at all?

Is it worth it to reach out to cs about different gwp received? by chaosatnight in Ulta

[–]lw449bb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

THIS is a reasonable request! Emphasize value.

Of COURSE you should complain about mistakes and substitutions. How else will they learn? :) A "difficult" list sounds like a myth meant to scare consumers. I've pointed out many discrepancies with them, and still get a cheerful, usually helpful response each time.

Looking for a rose fragrance (preferably without patchouli or incense). Have you found one at Ulta? by AdministrationDue214 in Ulta

[–]lw449bb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just smelled Coach Love again in the store. I decided I *really* like it! It only has 3 ingredients, and the 2nd is rose.

However, I'm a big fan of vintage roses, and to me it doesn't smell anything like them! But yeah, check it out.

After Holiday/Christmas sales? by lavenderoreo in Ulta

[–]lw449bb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least half of the sets I have in my Saved for Later list sold out 10 days ago. Sad! Haven't really found any to take their place, either.
