It is that time of the year again! Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. This year I am actually going to share with you my top 10 picks for the beauty section. I have never actually mentioned this sale before on my blog because I had never lived in a town with a Nordstrom so I didn’t know QUITE how awesome it was until I had the amazing opportunity to cover a grand opening in Jacksonville, FL last year. Since then I have become a hard core supporter of the store because it is an experience that should be had by the shopaholic inside each of us. There are two areas of the store that I am completely obsessed with and that is the shoe department and the beauty section.
Not many people know this about the store, but Nordstrom actually started off in the Pacific Northwest (my current home) as a shoe store, so they take a lot of pride in that department and it shows. They carry the best of the best and all of the sales associates there are amazing. For my birthday in March my husband took me to Nordstrom to buy me the Tory Burch flats that I wanted and when the sales associate came up to me I told him that I wanted the TB shoes to match my handbag. He looked at my feet and guessed my correct size and within minutes I was leaving the store with them on my feet. Talk about customer service. Anyway, I digress… Let’s get back to the beauty suggestions shall we?
{one} Charlotte Tilbury On The Go Essentials Set This is a set that has a few of the items I actually own and love. Specifically their Beach Sticks are some of my favorite things. Be sure to check out my review of it. This set allows you to try a lot of staples from the brand and also you get a super cute makeup bag. SCORE!
{two} Jo Malone Nectarine Blossom & Honey Collection – Jo Malone is one of my favorite fragrance companies. Any time you can try a fragrance from this brand at a discount DO IT. Do not hesitate. I have yet to try one scent that I didn’t love. I did a whole post on all of my Jo Malone Fragrances and I urge you to read it. :*
{three} Guerlain Meteorites Summer Edition Pearls – I am a HUGE Guerlain fan and have a few different sets of their Meteorites. They are such gorgeous powders and I never want to be without them in my collection. I am thinking really hard about picking up this one because, HELLO LIMITED EDITION. If you want to go for something that isn’t LE check out my Guerlain Meteorites Teint Beige post.
{four} HOURGLASS Cosmetics Nude Essentials Set – I am a huge fan of Hourglass and have a good selection of products from them but this is definitely a collection of products that will give you a good introduction to the brand if you aren’t familiar.
{five} Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Refillable Collection – I mentioned in a recent video (here) that I had never actually taken the time to check out Flowerbomb until I got a sample from a Nordstrom order. Once I sniffed it I couldn’t get enough. You guys, it is amazing. I need it in my life and I will absolutely be purchasing this set.
{six} Kate Spade Live Colorfully Set – This year I have really become a Kate Spade fan. I had never really cared for anything from Kate Spade until recently and now I am just completely obsessed. Her fragrances are pretty awesome and I definitely want to get this set.
{seven} Shiseido Power Partners Duo – I love the Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate and have been using it for about a year now. I use it in conjunction with other products and I definitely want to stock up on it during this sale. I am sure the two of these are HEAVEN when put together. You should read my post on Shiseido Ultimune to find out a little more!
{eight} Clarisonic Smart Profile Pink Sonic Skin Cleansing System – I have had a Clarisonic for just about 5 years now and I have to say that it is an impressive machine. Many swear by it, and that includes both of my older sisters—they are the reason I tried it in the first place. This one is new though. What makes it different is it’s created with SMART technology, which enables the SMART Profile device to read the two new SMART-enabled brush heads and automatically adjust timing and power for the optimal head-to-toe cleanse. Featuring four speeds, an intuitive user interface and enhanced battery life, it cleanses smarter, works easier and gives you more powerful results. Pretty cool, right? AND it has a steep discount for this sale.
{nine} Chloe Eau de Parfum Set – Chloe, for me, is one of those brands that I have lusted over for years. I adore all the shoes, all the bags, all the everything. Being able to try something from this brand at a lower price than normal is something that rarely happens so definitely must be taken advantage of.
{ten} BeautyBlender Must Have Trio – Last but not least are staples. I use a beauty blender dang near every time I wear makeup. I use the small green ones to blend my concealer and I am addicted to my big pink one for foundation. I have a white one as well, but now it is time for me to stock up and I want the black one. Hey BeautyBlender…. keep making different colors. I will buy them all. hahaha
