It’s nearing that time of year again, Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. And do you know what that means? Super buys on beauty! Again, there are some incredible deals of pre-packaged sets or large sizes with a special price, and the beauty companies pull out all the stops for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. This year they are doing it so much smarter than in the past. It used to be that you could pre-order what you wanted to purchase and then wait till the sale and pick it up. But, if you were one of the unlucky ones and didn’t pre-order, your chances of getting the goods when the sale day started were very slim to none. Now you can go in store or online and pre-order and it is shipped to you from their warehouse, even before the sale actually starts on July 16th. Or if you can’t seem to get it together before that, you can go into the store and the stores will have good stock. I wouldn’t wait too long though – no guarantees!
Here are a few of my favorites of the many, many wonderful deals to choose from. Be sure to check online for more specials available. Decisions, decisions…
This Dior deluxe palette is so much more gorgeous in person than how it looks here. It includes a soft pink blush, a three tone bronzer, four beautiful eye shadows, two lip glosses and a mini brush. $54.00 There’s a Dior Addict Ultra Gloss lip gloss that’s exclusive too. Fabulous!
Trish McEvoy always has wonderful value sets and this is no exception. The “Must Have” collection for eyes is a $175 value for $85 It includes an “emergency card” which is credit card sized palette of 8 eye shadows, a dual ended makeup brush, a travel sized Eye Base Essential in Bare, Instant Eye Lift, travel size Lash Enhancer, travel size Mascara, all in a mesh pouch to fit in your petite size planner.
Giorgio Armani make beautiful brushes. In this set you get a mini blush brush, a mini blender brush (I use the blender brush every single day) a mini eye shader brush and a mini eye contour brush all in a travel pouch. These aren’t tiny mini brushes either, they are really nicely sized ones. Individually these would sell for $167 and are being sold for $75.
This Bobbi Brown set is incredibly priced! The products are all full-sized and would sell for $139 if purchased separately. They’re selling the set for $75!
