Nordstrom's Best Beauty Buys Are on Sale, and I'm Shopping These 12 for Less
You read that headline correctly. There are more than enough discounted holy grail beauty finds available now as part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. With so many amazing options that may be gone in a flash in a matter of days (the sale only runs from July 17 through August 6, it's time to start moving your favorite products from your wish list to your shopping cart.
As a Nordstrom enthusiast and native Seattleite (it's home), I've rounded up 12 of the top beauty items I'd buy while they're on sale. Ready, set, shop!
Skincare
My general rule with skincare is the more, the merrier. It should be no surprise that Sunday Riley's Good Genes Lactic Acid Exfoliating Face Treatment is no exception. Believe me: this is the must-have step to your skin routine you won't want to be without.

I'm a twenty-something that's all about taking steps to prevent visible signs of aging on the face and neck, so it won't be a concern later. Kiehl's lightweight and fast-absorbing cream for the face and neck does the job with vitamin A, Chaga mushroom, and hyaluronic acid.
Another preventative measure I've been taking in my daily skincare routine is by using smoothing and lifting eye creams like this one from Kate Somerville. Not only does it prevent fine lines and wrinkles, but its also de-puffs and diminishes dark under eye circles.
Without a doubt, one of the key components of any skincare routine is a dependable and effective exfoliator that's gentle on the skin but tough on the areas that count. Lancer's The Method Polish Exfoliator is a skin-resurfacing treatment that accomplishes this with pure minerals, plant enzymes, and a unique warming element.
Tools & Devices
By now, I'm sure you're familiar with some NuFace's bestselling devices—but did you know there's one dedicated to combating existing fine lines while also preventing them? This skincare duo does the trick by using an FDA-cleared powerful micro-current and a smoothing and brightening serum.

I rarely straighten my hair (a quick scroll through my social media pages reveals my unflattering dedication to protective styles). But I'll add this GHD platinum flat iron to my hair tool collection come silk press season. It utilizes predictive technology to recognize the thickness of the hair and the speed at which you're styling it, adjusting accordingly.
Whenever I'm asked for blow dry brush recommendations by friends and family, T3's AireBrush Duo immediately comes to mind as a must-have for any hair type and texture. It features an interchangeable brush design with two attachments and 15 heat and speed combinations for all your hair styling needs.
Have you ever wondered if there's a skincare device out there that does it all? Well, I'm not sure if there's one that can give you an immediate 'just had a facial' look, but this DermaFlash Ultrasonic Pore Extractor & Serum Infuser may be the closest thing to it. Add this to your basket first before scrolling on.
Makeup
Eye makeup lovers everywhere will be all over this versatile Bobbi Brown eyeshadow palette and mascara set. It features 12 different powder shades (ranging from matte to shimmering finishes) and a kohl-pigmented mascara that delivers ultra-pigmented, long lashes with a single swipe.

I've never struggled with maintaining thick eyebrows (it's all in the genes), but I've definitely embarked on a long and winding road to discovering a solution for my short eyelashes that doesn't involve extensions and lash lifts. For anyone struggling with the lashes or the brows, get your hands on this set before it sells out.

If you don't want to wait for your lashes to grow with the help of a serum, consider using this Lancôme mascara. It adds length, volume, and definition with a smudge-proof formula and a brush applicator using grooved bristles to evenly coat your lashes from root to tip.

Let's be honest: finding a translucent setting powder that actually looks translucent can be easier said than done. This Hourglass set (sold exclusively through Nordstrom) features a full-size setting powder and brush for a flawless finish.
