Next month, I'm taking a trip I've been dreaming about for years. I'm headed to Italy, where I'll hop from city to city, eating every bowl of pasta in sight. While I still need to brush up on my Italian, I have one thing to do before leaving: decide which beauty products I'm packing.
I'm prioritizing bringing travel-sized versions of my favorite products, plus some compact full-sized items that are easy to pack. Luckily, my trip falls right after Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale is over. This year, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale runs from July 17 through August 6, and it's the perfect time to stock up on beauty favorites for travel and home. Keep reading to learn which of my favorite beauty products are on sale at Nordstrom and will come on my trip.
Laura Mercier's Caviar Sticks are highly pigmented and buttery. Plus, they're also incredibly easy to travel with.
As someone with perpetually dry hands (yes, even in the summer!) I keep hand lotion on me at all times. This is my favorite hand lotion to throw in my bag.
Glow Screen is a sunscreen staple for me, and this duo is the perfect pair for an Italian vacation.
This is my ideal set. It comes with both full-sized and travel-sized shampoos and conditioners. Oribe's Gold Lust shampoo and conditioner are unmatched for soft, silky hair.
Fresh lip balms work wonders for keeping chapped lips at bay. These are a must for any upcoming travels.
YSL Lash Clash is one of the best mascaras on the market for tons of length and volume. Stocking up on two for under $20 each will always be a good idea.
This gentle cleanser is infused with amino acids to cleanse without stripping.
Maison Francis Kurkdjian fragrances are always on rotation for me. This means I can take the whole set with me anytime I travel.
A natural deodorant that actually works is hard enough to find, and this one also leaves no stains or residue.
Everything U Beauty makes is liquid gold, and this is the best way to try the brand's cult favorites, including the beauty editor-approved Plasma Lip Compound, at a steep discount.
Westman Atelier highlighters glide on so smoothly and impart some shimmer to your face without making it glittery. This duo is ideal for summery skin.
Not only does this set come with the cutest bag, it also comes with the beloved Dior Lip Glow and Diorshow mascara.
Nars Orgasm Blush is one of the few beauty products I will always return to. It's so flattering and looks good on every skin tone. A pair for only $40 is definitely worth stocking up on.
These are my favorite scrunchies. They won't damage your hair, are thin enough to wear without being the focal piece of your hairstyle, and never leave any dents in your strands when you take them out.
Pillow Talk is one of the most-used lip colors on the red carpet for good reason. It's incredibly flattering. Snag it in three different formats for movie star lips.
