Buying from Sephora Online vs. Buying from ULTA Online?

I'm planning on buying the glow kit soon, but I wasn't sure which website would give me better benefits I.e. samples, travel-sized makeup, etc. with my purchase. Which would be better to buy from?

If you spend $50 you'll get free shipping at both.

Samples
Sephora: pick three of your choice from a list of 10ish
Ulta: pick between variety, fragrance, or skincare sampler. The samplers come with 2 each

Ulta gives just as good of samples but you don't get to choose them. Points at Ulta actually get you something lol so I always pick Ulta if it's something they both carry:)

I find ordering at Sephora is better because you get better samples. Every time literally EVERY time. I choose the variety sampler at Ulta I get the smash box photo primer which I don't care for and a crappy skin care sample which I also don't care for. Shipping at Sephora (even standard) is much quicker than Ulta.

However, I do agree with Angela! I like Ulta's reward system better so I only order at Ulta if they're offering double/triple points.

If you want fast shipping I would go with sephora but if you don't care to get your stuff fast I would go with ulta because of there point system.

So does Sephora not have a point system anymore or is there are 100 point gift for beauty insiders? Or are you guys referring to the fact that ULTA provides gifts at lower point costs?

I hate Sephora in general, I only like their 1 mascara which they don't sell anymore, Ulta has an amazing point system and it's very great to save your points, I only have around 400.
