Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end eventually, and the amazing discounts on offer at Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale are no exception. This is one of the biggest beauty events of the year, and it will feature a ton of products from popular brands like NARS, New Faces, Lancome, MAC Cosmetics, and more at special discounts. There’s only a few more sales left, so it’s a good idea to shop around for the best beauty products you can buy right now.
Not sure which discounted beauty items to add to your basket? Scroll through to see a comprehensive list of my favorite skincare, tools, makeup, and body care products. So get moving: Nordstrom Anniversary is happening now and ends on August 4th!
1. Skin Care
MAC Cosmetics
Hyper Real Set
I use MAC’s Serumizer and Skin Canvas Balm every day to prep my skin before applying makeup. The cleansing oil gently yet effectively removes all impurities leaving a healthy glow, whilst the serummizer works to strengthen the skin’s barrier and reduce the appearance of imperfections.
Kiehl’s since 1851
A clear solution to correct dark spots
Over the last few years, I’ve noticed an increase in pigmentation in my complexion (especially around the eyes and mouth), and to combat this, I added the Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution to my skincare routine, a Vitamin C-based formula that addresses dark spots and promotes a brighter, more even complexion.
Lancome
Renergie HCF Triple Serum
As a beauty editor, I’ve been exposed to hundreds of high-powered serum products touting anti-aging and skin-plumping benefits, and this product from Lancôme is one of the few that stands out to me with its powerful formula packed with skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, niacinamide, and ferulic acid.
Derma Flash
Dermapore+ Ultrasonic Pore Extractor + Skin Care Infuser
Have you ever wanted to get a painless pore removal without having to book a facial? While it’s always ideal to get treatment and guidance from a skin care professional, using a reliable pore remover like this product from Dermaflash can help you achieve the same results without having to spend your last paycheck.
New Faces
Trinity+ Smart Advanced Facial Toning Starter Kit
I have mixed feelings about my round face (I still have sagging cheeks even in my 20s), but this NuFace Facial Toning Device is helping me bring out the cheekbones of my dreams. This starter kit includes everything you need to get started, including the Trinity+ Smart Advanced Facial Toning Device, Facial Trainer attachment, charging cradle, power adapter, and hydrating Aqua Gel Activator.
T3
Ultra-lightweight Style Max dryer
For me, the end of July means it’s time to let go of those mid-summer braids and enjoy my 4c curls again. The T3 Featherweight StyleMax Dryer makes it incredibly easy to dry, blow dry, stretch and create defined curls in just minutes. The dryer features a SoftTouch 3 diffuser, smoothing comb, drying concentrator and styling concentrator to make washing your hair a breeze.
3. Makeup
Lancome
Lash Idol Mascara Duo
It’s hard to find a mascara that won’t clump and will lengthen and volumize your lashes, but Lancôme’s Lash Idole Mascara leaves you with full, luscious lashes every time. This limited edition set contains two mascaras: one to keep on your vanity table and the other to take with you wherever you go, perfect for quick touch-ups when you’re pressed for time.
Maybe I’m biased, but I think you can never have too many blush shades. The Nars Iconic Blush Duo features two of the brand’s most iconic shades, Orgasm (a peachy pink with gold shimmer) and Deep Throat (a soft pink with gold shimmer), and will look beautiful on all skin tones. What I love about the Nars Powder Blush is the soft-focus blur effect it gives, making it look like you’ve pinched your cheeks.
hourglass
Veil Translucent Setting Powder & Brush Set
I always add the Veil Translucent Setting Powder and brush to my cart when I see either one on sale, so why not pick up the two at a discount? This finely milled, lightweight powder is made with soft-focus, light-reflecting particles that give an airbrushed effect, and the double-ended brush (designed to be used with the setting powder) allows for flawless application right where you need it.
4. Body Care
Deborah Lippman
Cuticle Repair Kit
Ever since I moved from Seattle to New York City, my cuticles have been in terrible shape. (I blame the heat and blasting the AC.) To give them a boost, I like to use Deborah’s Lippmann Cuticle Repair Kit. This kit contains the brand’s best-selling cuticle oil, It’s a Miracle Intense Therapy Cuticle Oil, and cuticle remover to keep your cuticles looking and feeling their healthiest.
Le Labo
Santal 33 Travel Set
As I start saving up my frequent flyer miles come fall, I’ll be using this travel set nonstop to support the health of my hair and skin. It’s a deluxe set of four travel-sized body care essentials in Le Labo’s classic Santal 33 scent (a fragrant, spicy blend of sandalwood, cardamom, iris, leather, and more). I’m also obsessed with their classic distressed leather cosmetic case.
Ossia
Golden Glow Discovery Set
I love Osea’s Undaria Algae Body Butter and Body Oil, so it was no surprise to me to add the Golden Glow Discover Set to my shopping list. These skincare essentials use a seaweed-infused formula to nourish, soothe, and firm skin while improving elasticity and providing deep hydration for up to 72 hours. For me, this is a must-have!
