Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Preview

Happy Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Preview day to all who celebrate! I know that the famous Nordstrom sale can be a bit overwhelming, but it’s honestly one of the best ways to replenish your beauty buys.

I have so many favorites that are ideal to stock up on during the NSale, that of course I obviously had to share. While you can’t shop the sale just yet, you can plan your buys before the sale starts on July 18!

MAKEUP

While Mascara is also currently on sale (buy one, get one free until tomorrow) at Ulta Beauty, two of my favorites will be a part of the anniversary sale. Too Faced (I especially love the waterproof version which isn’t apart of the NSale, but you can get it via the Ulta Beauty sale if you hurry) and YSL (also in brown).

What’s mascara without my favorite ever primer? I will never not have this lash primer in my makeup bag. Speaking of which, I spotted this cosmetic case that I’m seriously considering.

On to lip products, which I don’t actually need more of at the moment, but if I were running low on any of these I would be adding them to cart immediately. YSL especially this lip plumping gloss (I have it in four colors and love them all), Clinique in this viral shade is a frequent go-to (but I already stocked up so I’m good to go), and Prada (I have two of the three in full-size which are not on sale, but the minis are too cute and will be).

I also have YSL blush and eyeshadow that I use for special occasions. There’s also a few other products I like that I’ll include in the SHOP THE POST section at the end of this blog post, so make sure to check that out!

SKIN CARE

Okay so for skin care I’m including things also for body and hair. Nécessaire has become an engrained part of my daily routine that I make sure to never run out. But I am running low and need the body wash so that has to happen.

Something I was once gifted and didn’t expect to need as much as I do is this peel. I hate how much I love it! Finding it on sale was almost too good to be true.

Olaplex has been essential for me ever since my stylist used it on my hair when I would go get silk presses. I love most of their products, and use the bonding oil regularly.

Pretty much always in my bag are Touchland and L’Occitane so these duos are must-haves!

FRAGRANCES

I feel like lately I’ve been talking about fragrances a lot, but these deserve to be mentioned. I love Prada and Valentino and since both are available during the sale, I have to bring them to your attention.

There’s tons of beauty tools, clothes and other things you can also buy, (like my clear bag) but I wanted to focus on the beauty exclusives because that’s what’s mostly in my cart for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I could go on and on, so if you’re planning to shop the NSale, and want to know more of my sale picks, let me know!

A Few Things to Shop From the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is live and things are already starting to sell out. You may or may not think that this sale is overhyped for whatever reason. I’ve come to think of it as the re-up your closet for fall sale.

If you don’t need anything, by all means, don’t shop the NSale. I’ve gained some weight, hello late-30s, and needed to replace some of my wardrobe staples.

Jeans

I got five pairs of jeans in an attempt to cover my bases with different styles. All five pairs were on sale for under $100. Some of them are no longer available at Nordstrom, but if you really love them you can get them for full price from the brand’s site directly.

Jackets

It is not lost on me that now doesn’t feel like the appropriate time to even think about jackets. That said, the off season is when you want to buy them. This sale is the perfect excuse to. I really love my BlankNYC suede moto jacket from a past sale. You can buy it, just not on sale. Here are other jackets you’ll wish you’d gotten when autumn rolls around.

Beauty

In addition to your closet, you can restock your shelves. I’m not low on much right now, but I found so many good beauty exclusives! And if you’re looking to splurge on a bigger beauty item, like a T3 hair tool, there are some great deals. For instance, the Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare glow set is sold out, but you can get the LED light therapy device and skin care set for $455. Other brands I love like Olaplex and Sulwhasoo, have product favorites on sale as well.

I love shopping at Nordstrom in general, but their anniversary sale is probably one of my favorite sales ever! How do you feel about the NSale? And if you’re shopping it, what are you shopping for?
