Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale Is On—18 Beauty Steals to Grab Before Everyone Else
Nordstrom's always-epic Anniversary Sale is on, and I'm not being dramatic when I say you need to move fast. (No other retailer has quite the same rate of sellout and turnover as Nordstrom does when it puts major deals on some of the most highly covetable products!) Within the hour, a large majority of all of my recommendations below could be gone, even though the sale technically beats on until July 31. So Godspeed, and keep scrolling to shop 18 editor-approved beauty steals that feel pretty darn nonnegotiable if you ask me.
Makeup
Say hello to your dream brows courtesy of this epic set from Anastasia Beverly Hills. Their Brow Wiz and Brow Serum are already in my cart.
Who needs a lip combo when you have this combination on lock? Finish off your look with lipstick and liner.
Westman Atelier's Highlight Sticks have put the brand on the map. They offer stunning color and light-catching shine! And obviously, two is better than one.
Skincare
I'm a huge fan of anything and everything Supergoop!, so you can imagine how jazzed I am about this trio featuring three holy-grail best sellers from the brand.
Your next self-care night in is calling, and it desperately wants you to pick up this soy-centric duo from Fresh, which features a travel-size Soy Face Cleanser (my fave) and full size too. Packing for your next trip just got easier.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you're not regularly extracting your face, your skin hasn't reached its full potential yet. Enhance your dewy-skin results with a hydrating serum while you're at it.
Hair
I don't go a day without screaming about Olaplex (and how much I love it), so it goes without saying you 100% need to snap up this shampoo that comes with such a convenient pump.
There are a lot of flat irons out there, but if you polled every beauty editor from L.A. to New York who likes to straighten their hair, they'll tell you this precise model from GHD is just it. It's all about the little things, and one random but major feature I love—as a clumsy person—is the protective cool tip that gives you a safe place to hold your hair in place as you get to work.
If you want to get healthier, fuller hair long-term but also want some instantaneous thickening magic, this is the product regimen to adopt. The dry shampoo, in particular, is one of the best of all time.
Fragrance
I maybe screamed (quietly) when I saw this five-candle set from Boy Smells. Why? It just so happens to feature every single one of my faves!
If you've ever wanted to experience some of the most-wanted perfumes of all time (but at a fraction of the cost), here's your in!
A full-size and travel version of my favorite Parfums de Marly scent? Yes, please! It's the ultimate broken-in floral featuring bergamot, nutmeg, rhubarb, lychee, Turkish rose, vetiver, incense, cedar wood, vanilla, cashmere, and musk.
Tools & Devices
This FDA-cleared device expedites the healing of existing acne while simultaneously soothing redness and inflammation. It even helps to prevent future breakouts.
While I personally haven't tried NuFace's celeb-loved microcurrent device, a few of my co-workers swear by it, saying it delivers immediate and impressive results (that only get better with time and consistent use) in the sculpting and firming departments.
I love Drybar, so obviously, seeing the Single Short Blow-Dryer Brush on sale makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop.
Bath & Body
I go through Nécessaire's obsession-forming products at breakneck speed, so whenever I get the chance to restock at a discount, I go wild.
If you love skin that gleams and glistens, you absolutely need Tom Ford's Soleil Shimmer Body Oil in your life. How adorable are these travel-sized bottles? This is what vacation dreams are made of.
Up next, I'm a Beauty Editor—7 Products I Tell My Friends to Retire and 7 to Try Instead
Erin has been writing a mix of beauty and wellness content for Who What Wear for over four years. Prior to that, she spent two and half years writing for Byrdie. 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.
