Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Beauty

Is anyone else having a very Monday-y Monday? I am having such trouble focusing for some reason… but at least we can talk about something fun, like BEAUTY PRODUCTS ON SALE! If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I try to buy all of my beauty and skincare products when sales are happening. They might not happen all the time, but Nordstrom and Sephora are both having sales right now! It is SO worth it to take a walk over to your bathroom and see if you’re running out of anything before these sales are over. Any discount is a good discount, right?!

When I first looked at the 2020 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, it was clear that the best categories were sleepwear, workout clothes, and beauty. I linked to a bunch of cute shoes, coats, and sweaters in my first post – but since we’re all going to be spending a lot of time at home for the next few months, those aren’t quite as exciting as they have been in the past. But if we can save big on beauty exclusives?? Now we’re talkin. Self care = necessary during a pandemic.

Before we dive in, the sale is still only open to early access members – but mark your calendars for the public sale starting on Wednesday, August 19! I know it can be disheartening to see things sell out before public access even begins, and I don’t have any official inside scoop (sorry I’m not that cool!). That being said, I’ve heard through the grapevine that they will be restocking some items on the 19th. Not sure if that’s true or not, but it’s definitely worth checking out if there’s something you’re dying for!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Beauty Finds

Skincare

Alright, if I’m being honest – a bunch of the skin care items I was most excited about are sold out now. Nordstrom, please stock more Sunday Riley products next year, mmmmkay?!

That being said, there are still some goodies up for grabs! My #1 top pick in this category is definitely Supergoop! sunscreen. I have completely fallen in love with this brand this year. Not only does it have clean ingredients, but it also doesn’t leave your skin feeling greasy AT ALL. If you’re into clean beauty brands, I’d also recommend Kiehl’s products as well. This set looks like a particularly great deal, and I really want to try their Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentratewith vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid to help combat fine lines.

Now would also be a great time to up your anti-aging game with a NuFace set! I am personally not interested in botox or treatments like that, but I’ve heard incredible things about this non-invasive option that you can incorporate into your beauty routine. And of course, how nice would it be to treat your skin to an at-home treatment and then lay your head down on silk pillowcases?! (PS. Did you know that they have anti-aging benefits? Fancy AND practical!)

Makeup

While the makeup selection isn’t huge this year, they have a lot of really useful items!! I recently tried Anastasia thanks to my sister-in-law, and they have a brow set on sale right now. Such a good score! There is also a Laura Mercier set with setting powder and primer which again, is super useful.

If you’re thinking “ugh, I want something more fun that that!” – don’t worry! Charlotte Tilbury’s FAMOUS Pillowtalk lipliner, lipstick, and gloss are all on sale so you can look effortlessly perfect on your next zoom call. If you don’t love that color, my favorite lip balm that gives you a natural tint is also on sale. Such a good way to feel a little bit more put together during this weird time!

Haircare

I honestly missed some of these deals when I first sifted through the catalog… and I might need to place another order! The most tempting for me right now? This jumbo size Kiehl’s Shampoo and Conditioner. I actually used to work at Equinox back when I lived in New York as one of my “survival jobs” and they had this shampoo and conditioner in their bathrooms. I honestly completely forgot about them until this week – and now I kind of want them back in my life!

There are also some great tools on sale this time around including a T3 ceramic curling iron and T3 hair dryer. Drybar also has an amazing kit with their heated straightening brush, detangling brush, full size prime & prep detangler, full size finishing spray, travel size heat protectant mist, and travel size dry shampoo. SO many goodies!
