22 On-Sale Beauty Items to Help You Look Like You Summer in the Hamptons
Each summer, there's a certain aesthetic I strive to achieve. I don't have a catchy name for it, but I want to look like I summer in the Hamptons. To be transparent, I've never spent a summer in the Hamptons, but a girl can dream, right?
If you're familiar with TikTok aesthetics, I'd say this one falls somewhere between quiet luxury and coastal grandmother. So, aside from dressing accordingly, I turn to laid-back beauty essentials to make me look put together yet effortless.
Even though this Hamptons-esque aesthetic looks elevated and expensive, you don't have to spend lots of money to get it, especially now that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is happening. Starting today, July 17, I'm taking the opportunity to stock up on some on-theme beauty essentials. Keep scrolling to see all of my on-sale editor picks!
You'll wake up with effortlessly shiny and healthy hair when using a silk pillowcase and silk scrunchies. This set comes with one of the former and six of the latter. Your hair, and your wallet, will thank you.
The key to a summer glow is sunless tanner. This formula makes my skin look sunkissed and bronzed without subsequent damage. The mousse texture is easy to blend and doesn't streak or make my skin smell weird. Plus, I'm pretty sure I'll never run out again with this gigantic 13.5 fluid-ounce can.
Maison Margiela's iconic Beach Walk fragrance is a summertime must. With notes of bergamot, ylang-ylang, and coconut milk accord, it instantly transports me to relaxing days spent in the sun. This set conveniently comes with a full-size perfume and a travel-size rollerball.
Who What Wear editors love this hair dryer (including yours truly). It's powerful but doesn't damage strands and dries my long hair quickly. Now's the time to snag one at a discount.
This SPF duo combines the brand's crazy popular glowy sunscreen with a dry oil sunscreen stick. Use them together, and you'll have healthy, I-just-left-the-beach skin all summer.
This kit is the perfect toss-in-your-bag-and-go item. It includes a lash primer, mascara, and lip balm, all housed in a chic Dior makeup bag.
This candle duo, which smells like sparkling wine (think grapefruit, pomelo, and red currant), is the best hostess gift I've come across yet. I'm going to be selfish and buy one for myself too. It just smells too good not to.
If you've never used microcurrent devices before, you'll be shocked at how effective they are at visibly lifting and sculpting the contours of the face. This kit is pretty much the gold standard. It includes a conductive gel, a hydrating cream, a brush to apply them with, and the device itself.
Wood Sage & Sea Salt might be the most Hamptons-esque scent there is. This jumbo-sized hand and body wash is a bathroom must-have.
Trust me when I say this setting powder is good, really good. It reduces oil and shine without contributing to a cakey appearance. It's featherlight and makes the skin look radiant. If you don't take my word for it, know that Sofia Richie Grainge is also a fan. The fact that you get a dual-ended powder brush is just a bonus.
Looking for a wrinkle cream that actually works? This effective formula's got you covered. Over time it increases firmness and elasticity and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
In summer, I only care about easy-to-use heat tools. The Dyson Airwrap is the epitome of that. Yes, it's expensive, but if there was ever a time to get it, it's during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Plus, since it does so many things. It's like you're getting multiple heat tools in one.
Sorry, but I'm not going to let this deal pass me by. I'm obsessed with these sunscreen products. Not only do they smell incredible, but they also stand up against a six-hour beach day (trust me).
After a day at the beach, there's nothing I love more than using this eucalyptus-scented body wash. It contains glycerin, niacinamide, and plant surfactants to keep skin soft, smooth, and hydrated.
This at-home device uses red LED light to reduce and prevent the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. I love using red light, and I believe it's made a difference in my skin, so I'm snagging this high-tech device for a discount. Plus, the anti-acne one is also on sale.)
Bright skin is in. This set includes 30 sachets of the brand's original Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel plus 60 sachets of the brand's Extra Strength Daily Peel. As if that's not enough, it also includes a travel-friendly AHA/BHA cleanser.
Lavender essential oil and evening primrose oil make this skincare product smell incredible and feel lux, but it also makes it effective. Use it nightly to wake up with softer, smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
The key to an effortless summer look is a lash and brow serum. They keep my lashes and brows full and fluffy, so I don't feel as compelled to reach for makeup.
Increase skin firmness, get rid of puffiness, disguise dark circles, and reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles with this eye cream. It might sound too good to be true, but the secret is in the formulation. It uses peptides, red and brown algae, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C to get the job done.
U Beauty products are wildly popular, so if you haven't tried them already, now's the time. This set includes the brand's cult-favorite exfoliating treatment, moisturizer, and lip treatment.
Lactic acid is a star ingredient for exfoliation without irritation, which is why I love this treatment. it makes my skin look bright and smooth with no redness or stinging. If you're as obsessed as much as I am, you'll also be geeking out over this jumbo size.
This mascara cinched the top spot out of 77 tubes that our editors tested. So, yeah, it's everything we want from mascara and more. And now we can snag it for a deal with the matching liquid liner.
