I Just Saved $215 on 19 of My Most-Wanted Beauty Picks at Nordstrom—You Can Too
There's nothing more disappointing than getting your hopes up for a buzzed-about beauty sale only to realize—to put it nicely—it's rather anticlimactic. Either the savings aren't great, the brands/products aren't the best, there are tons of exclusions, or, in the most tragic of cases, it's a sad combination of all three. Luckily for you (and me), however, this isn't one such case. Through October 2, you can get some of the most covetable beauty products on Nordstrom's shelves—from brands like Dior, Giorgio Armani, Nars, NuFace, Benefit, and more—for up to 15% off.
As I scrolled through the very impressive selection, I spotted so many formulas that I'm either A) already hopelessly devoted to or B) itching to buy, as they're at the top of my fall beauty shopping list.
So as one does, I put together a 19-item-long "want list" and tallied how much money I'd theoretically save if I were to buy them all in one go—$215! I'm not made of money, so I'll have to curb my appetite slightly, but I still thought I'd share with you every single gem that made the cut. Below, 19 on-sale Nordstrom beauty buys I highly recommend. Keep scrolling!
Nail
Makeup
Can you tell I am in a moment of coveting all things rose-hued? Not only is this a fantastic lip liner in and of itself, but also I wish every lip liner in the industry would handily come with a brush (for goofproof application) on the opposite end. It's brilliant, and if you haven't yet used a lip brush when drawing and blending your liner, your life is about to change forever.
I'm not sure if another beauty brand exists with such a star lineup of truly effective mascaras. Benefit's lineup is impressive, and each of its cheeky wands caters to specific lash goals. I have a few favorites I regularly recommend, but this one is the absolute best when it comes to curl and lift. Interestingly, it's inspired by hair rollers, and it boasts a patent-pending Hook 'n' Roll brush featuring teeny, custom-designed hooks to catch, lift, and curl every last lash. The hold will last for at least 12 hours, and your lashes will also benefit from the lush effects of provitamin B5.
Skin
If you’ve been around the beauty block, you’ve likely heard emphatic rumblings about NuFace’s collection of skin-tightening devices, but the OG, shown here, is definitely the investment to make if you’re looking to reap maximum results. Just like spendy in-office treatments, this little device delivers professional-level microcurrent technology to your face from the comfort of your couch, bed, bathroom, or wherever you so please.
If you're in the market for an A+++ vitamin C serum, this is the "holy-grail" formula Hailey Bieber swears by.
This brow-growth serum is so effective that I quite literally had to stop using it only a month or so in due to how fast and furious my previously stagnant brow hairs were growing. I'd need at least four more hands to count on my fingers how many brow serums I've tried during my time as a beauty editor, yet this is the one I recommend without a moment's hesitation whenever people ask me for a brow-beefing rec. Trust—you won't be disappointed!
One of my favorite eye creams of all time, this is probably the one I recommend to friends most often since it's a bit more affordable and so instantaneously effective. One swipe across your under-eyes and the mica-, caffeine-, and antioxidant-rich potion practically blurs away the look of lingering darkness. I honestly think this is Sunday Riley's best product. But that's just me.
Fragrance
Bitter Peach is my favorite fragrance of all time. I have never smelled something so juicy, complex, and all-around addicting. It lingers and melts into your skin for a really warm and beautiful finish, but the mix of peach, davana (an aromatic herb native to India), and patchouli is unique—I've never smelt anything like it. I can't get over it, and the second I spritzed it, I knew it was over for me and every other perfume I ever claimed to love. Buy the travel size (and perhaps eventually the full size), and it will be the best thing you gift yourself with maybe ever. Normally, I say fragrance and perfume are extremely subjective, but this bottle just might be the exception.
