It’s that time of year again, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2012 Beauty Exclusives time. It means back-to-school is on the tip of our tongues and cool, crisp days will soon follow. Sales -may come and go, but the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is one of my favorites not only for the clothing but the beauty specials as well. Products that are exclusive, sets that are specially priced and GWP are all available during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Below I’ve listed some of my beauty exclusives favorites that are available (in no particular order). If you want assistance ordering, my dear friend MaKayne will give you excellent service. She can be reached at 952-883-21210 ext .1080

Dior has a trio of exclusive nail shades for the Anniversary Sale. Shadow, Poison and Orchid. Orchid is my favorite of the trio, but they are all fabulous. The Orchid shade is actually more like a black cherry shade – not quite a purple as shown here. $23.
