Nordstrom ANNIVERSARY SALE Beauty Picks
Eyes & Lips + Face & Skin + Must-Have Beauty Tools
It’s here!!! Nordy’s annual Anniversary Sale that’s been going on since like….. the beginning of TIME, somehow ignites the same level of excitement that it did when I could first afford to shop there. Well – almost, let’s be real.
This year we see the return of a few Cult Favorites, like Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk Lip Set – which I L.O.V.E for it’s perfect Nude wash of color with just enough pink that it doesn’t make me look like a corpse, AND Make-up Artist favorite – the BeautyBlender for streak-free, airbrushed looking flawless foundation application.
Special shout-out to Kate Somerville’s ExfoliKate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment, a 4-in-1 product that’s a Cleanser, Scrub, Peel and Mask all in one. Efficiency at its best!
So, without further ado – here are our absolute Favorite Beauty Picks from this year’s Anniversary Sale. Happy Shopping!
EYES & LIPS
Glowing, Gorgeous Eye Secrets Set
A three-piece eye set with two cream-to-sheen eyeshadows in Golden Eclipse or Star Gold for gorgeous, glowing eyes! Apply a quick swipe with your finger for a natural look. For more intensity, use a blender brush, then use a smudger brush lightly on the lower lash line. Finish it off with the mascara. Just one application gives gorgeous thickness and volume.
Easy Essentials Eye, Cheek & Lip Set
Bobbi Brown has always been about using make up to enhance your natural beauty, and this Eye, Cheek & Lip Set does exactly that. It’s a Neutral and Versatile palette of shadows and blushes with a gorgeous shimmering chocolate for evenings. PLUS her High Shimmer Lip Gloss which I swear I have in EVERY color and a Smokey Eye Mascara. Pretty pink travel pouch included ;-).
Mini Oil-Infused Lip Tint Duo
2 Limited-edition lip tints in Strawberry Wash & Gold Shimmer, that give lips a sheer wash of color and luxurious moisture. Contains Raspberry-seed oil, vitamin A and E to nourish and soften sensation lips! Try swiping the Gold over any color lipstick to give a sexy glow & shimmer for evening!
Pillow Talk Lip Secrets Set
Cult favorite Pillow-Talk Lip gives you a classic nude-pink lip that’s flattering on just about every skin tone. The set comes with lip pencil, matte lipstick and gloss that is gorgeous on its own! I wear Pillow-Talk in most all of my photo-shoots because it’s just flat out flattering without stealing the stage.
If Latisse irritates your eyes (me too!), try this. Neu Lash is a lash-enhancing formula that not only conditions lashes – it dramatically improves weak lashes after 30-days of use. The use of Sodium hyaluronate, known for its ability to hold 1000 times its weight in water, hydrates, softens and adds elasticity and shine to your lashes!
Charlotte Tilbury Glowing Gorgeous Eyes
FACE & SKIN LOVE
Polish Exfoliator Set
I love getting Travel Size products. It’s the perfect way to try a product without having to buy the full-sized version and hope ya like it. The Method Polish Exfoliator Set comes with the full-sized Exfoliator which sloughs off yucky dead skin cells, improves texture, fine lines and discoloration.
It ALSO includes Travel Size versions of their 4 most popular skin care products:
- Omega Hydrating Oil. A lightweight oil for a softer, healthier-looking complexion.
- Caviar Lime Acid Peel. A triple solution peel for a fresher, dewier complexion. Oh, and it says “Caviar”, so….. yeah. I’ll take 2.
- Advanced C Radiance Treatment Cream. Infused with vitamin C and retinol to help brighten the skin & minimize sun damage. Yes pls.
- Nourish Rehydration Mask. Who doesn’t love a good mask?? This one’s a hydrating and nourishing mask with bio-peptide and vitamin B3 to help skin look fresher and more radiant. You can leave it on OVERNIGHT for max hydration!
Beauty Booster® Duo
A 3-in-1 Cream and Booster serum that work in tandem to brighten, moisturize and soften fine lines.
The Beauty Booster Cream is a full-sized, 3-in-1 cream that works as a Moisturizer, Makeup Primer and Hydrating Mask. The Serum is travel-size with hyaluronic acid to help skin attract and retain moisture while enhancing your moisturizer’s performance.
Use the Serum AM & PM, by squeezing a few drops onto your fingertips and pressing it gently into your skin. You can also use it over your makeup to refresh the complexion.
ExfoliKate® Intensive Exfoliating Treatment
You may be noticing a trend here…. products that offer multiple benefits all in one. ExfoliKate Exfoliating Treatment delivers four treatments in 1:
Cleanser, Scrub, Peel and Mask!
Natural AHAs chemically exfoliate skin, while Lactic acid and fruit enzymes provide work to exfoliate further without over-drying. Skin is smoother and brighter in just a couple minutes. Use 1-2x a week.
Summer Skin Duo
Touche Éclat Blur Primer is my personal favorite Primer that I’ve used for a few years – after the discontinuation of another fave. It really does what it says….. BLURS the skin to give it sort of a soft-focus look and texture. Think of a great iPhone filter in a bottle. It’s lightweight, NOT greasy, and has teeny tiny gold flecks that give a lil’ luminous shimmer.
This duo comes with the Blur Primer and the Touche Eclat All-Over Glow Powder – a highlighter for all skin tones that creates a glowing, sun-kissed complexion.
Translucent Loose Setting Powder & Primer Duo
This Laura Mercier Powder & Primer set includes a Loose Setting Powder and a Primer that also Blurs. My personal favorite is the YSL Touche Eclat, but I wanted to include the Laura Mercier because it’s ALSO a very good primer and it’s a less expensive option over the YSL.
I also like the Translucent Loose Setting Powder, her iconic powder that sets makeup for 12-hour wear, also gives a subtle soft-focus, blurry look and softens fine lines. It has a matte finish with just a smidge of sheer coverage and works on virtually all skin tones.
Full Size Anti-Oxidant Body Mist, SPF 50
Reef-friendly, Cruelty-free threesome of refreshing sunscreen body mists, with broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection. You can even apply to wet skin for total UV protection. A good time to stock up on this one!
Kate Somerville Exfoliator delivers Cleanser, Scrub, Peel and Mask—in one powerhouse product!

All-Nighter Makeup Setting Spray, DUO
This is what I use in every photoshoot to ensure that my makeup stays fresh and in place all day – and man does it work! Keeps makeup looking just applied for up to 16 hours—without melting, fading or settling into fine lines. Formula features a patented Temperature Control Technology that actually lowers the temperature of your makeup to keep in all in place—even in hot-and-humid weather!
Gold Lust Dry Shampoo & Dry Texturizing Spray Set
Who wants to wash and dry their hair several times a week? Me neither. First, it’s damaging to your hair – Second, it’s freaking time consuming and HOT (hair dryer + summer = Meltdown). That’s why I personally love and use a dry shampoo – and specifically, the Oribe brand.
Gold Lust Dry Shampoo extends your blowout, freshens hair, prevents hair damage and it smells amazing! Seriously – it’s fresh and light. Spray it all over at your roots, let dry a quick sec – then brush it through. Fresh & totally revived in no-time.
The Dry Texturizing Spray is another favorite I use to add texture, volume and help “beach waves” take the curl and actually hold. Use it to build incredible volume and add texture to any do!
