It's no secret that hundreds of beauty sales take place that are nothing to write home about. Whether the stock is dispiritingly drab or the actual savings are embarrassingly minuscule, as a beauty editor, I've seen it all. Suffice it to say, I can count on my hand the number of sales each year that fully causes me to gasp in glee. And—lucky you—one such sale is going on as we speak.

Nordstrom reigns supreme when it comes to surprise beauty deals, especially around the holiday season. Currently, the retailer is having a truly great limited-time holiday beauty sale which I quite literally described as "pure gold" to a co-worker. Whether you're looking to snap up Dyson's Supersonic Hair Dryer for $100 cheaper or are in the market for new designer beauty essentials (Chanel! Dior! YSL!), the gang's all here. Keep scrolling for my 22 top beauty picks after hours (and hours) of shopping on your behalf.

She now calls Santa Monica home but grew up in Minnetonka, Minnesota, and studied writing, rhetoric, and communication at University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. She studied abroad in Galway, Ireland, and spent a summer in L.A. interning with the Byrdie and Who What Wear family. After graduating from UW, she spent one year in San Francisco, where she worked as a writer for Pottery Barn Kids and PBteen before moving down to L.A. to begin her career as a beauty editor. She considers her day-to-day beauty aesthetic very low-maintenance and relies on staples like clear brow serum (from Kimiko!), Lawless's Lip Plumping Mask in Cherry Vanilla, and an eyelash curler. For special occasions or days when she's taking more meetings or has an event, she'll wear anything and everything from Charlotte Tilbury (the foundations are game-changing), some shimmer on her lids (Stila and Róen do it best), and a few coats of the best mascara-type product on earth, Surratt's Noir Lash Tint.
