21 Holy-Shit Beauty Products From the Nordstrom Fall Sale
There's nothing we love more than a good sale, especially from one of our all-time favorite retailers, Nordstrom. The OG department store might be your go-to for the best booties and denim, but the selection of beauty products never ceases to amaze us. This time around, we've spotted some highly coveted beauty buys we rarely find at a discounted price, so we're even more pumped for the epic fall sale.
Even though it still feels like summer at Who What Wear HQ in L.A. (seriously, it's 80º today), the holidays are right around the corner, so it's time to turn our attention to the gifts we'll be grabbing for our loved ones and ourselves. We see it all, and we know what's worth the hype, so we've handpicked the 21 head-turning items you'll be mad you missed from this monster sale. Trust us, you'll have a hard time finding them at these prices again. Read on for the best picks.
Makeup
It's officially red-lip season, and this beloved duo by Nars will come in handy any time you're in the mood for a bold look.
This lightweight concealer is perfect for brightening under the eyes and covering up hyperpigmentation, but our favorite thing about it is how easy it is to work with. Simply place a dot of product wherever you need a little help, and blend it out with your fingers or your favorite makeup brush. Simple.
You probably don't need us to tell you that this famed setting powder is iconic, but in case you do, here it is: This stuff is everything. Don't believe us? Just check out the thousands of positive reviews.
There's nothing better than a super-hydrating lip balm that also provides a subtle wash of color. Oh, and SPF!
Eighty-plus dollars is a lot to spend on an eye shadow palette, but these metallic shades from Tom Ford are among the most pigmented and universally flattering we've ever seen. Get this foursome on sale to soften the blow a bit.
This chic lipstick from YSL will look as gorgeous sitting on your vanity as it will on your lips. We love the square shape of the lipstick itself to really define the Cupid's bow and perfect that pout, even without using a liner.
This is the perfect combination of colors to create any number of eye looks, from subdued and neutral to rosy and bright. Plus, it's small enough to travel with, so you can easily take your glam on the go.
Skincare
This set is an absolute can't-miss. Whether you're looking to get an intro to the greatest hits from powerhouse skincare label Sunday Riley or you're looking for travel sizes of the essentials you already love, this set covers all your bases. And while you're treating yourself (you deserve it!), snag one for a holiday gift, too.
We never miss an opportunity to stock up on this OG body lotion. It's super hydrating, absorbs quickly, and is unscented so you never have to worry about it competing with your signature fragrance. It's the perfect cream.
Facial massage is all the rage right now, and these heavenly globes are just the tool to experiment with. They're soothing and gentle so you don't have to worry about being too rough with your face.
Nothing fights dark spots and hyperpigmentation like a potent vitamin C treatment, and this one by Perricone is among the most effective out there.
When a celebrity facialist who works with the likes of Mindy Kaling, Mandy Moore, and Emma Roberts creates a product line, we pay attention. Joanna Vargas isn't new to the skincare game by any means, but this anti-aging serum from her line is one we'll buy over and over.
If you're on the fence about eye cream, the 261 reviews of this particular one will sway you to start using it. According to satisfied customers, it's lightweight and goes hard at softening crow's-feet and under-eye bags.
Dermaplaning is one of the buzziest skincare trends out there right now, and for good reason. It instantly reveals bright, peach fuzz–free skin that's ready to absorb all those incredible active ingredients in your skincare.
This holy-grail serum employs resveratrol, viniferine, and grape-seed polyphenols to firm, brighten, and protect the skin against free radicals. It also helps to promote collagen production, so in essence, it helps turn back the clock.
If you're not on the facial essence train yet, it's time to get familiar with the multi-use solution. This OG offering from SK-II touts a potent formula including vitamins, amino acids, and minerals to reduce the appearance of fine line and wrinkles and deeply hydrate the skin. Start with the small bottle to see how you like it. (Hint: You'll be addicted.)
If you've been eyeing a microcurrent device, this is the time to take the plunge. This one is FDA-cleared to treat your entire face to combat the natural aging processes that cause wrinkles, sagging, and loss of contour.
Want to smell rich? Get this. Clary sage, lavender tonka bean, and leather make it a truly captivating, totally expensive-smelling scent. This allover body spray is perfect for layering or reapplying throughout the day.
Hair
If you're spending a bunch of money to color your hair, and even more money to maintain it with the best products, then the last thing you want is for your shower water to sabotage all your hard work. This genius shower head by T3 features a mineral filtration system that removes damaging impurities like rust, dirt, sediment, and odors from your shower's water supply.
Any device that helps lower the time and stress involved in styling gets a gold star from us. According to the reviews, this heated brush straightens even the curliest hair.
After you're done straightening your strands, go in with this finishing spray for added texture, volume, and body. Oh, and it smells really good.
