Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale Is Beauty Haul Goals — Here Are The Best Deals
Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale is officially open to the public, and the deals across designer fashion, chic home décor, and much more are hotter than ever. However, it’s my professional belief that the most compelling deals happen to be in the beauty space — not that I'm biased or anything.
Regardless of membership level, the sale wraps on August 9, leaving about three weeks to get your haul on.
Unlike any other beauty sale, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is packed with retailer-exclusive value sets on makeup, skincare, hair, fragrance, and beyond that you can only 1) find at Nordstrom and 2) shop for the duration of the sale. We're talking rarely (if ever) discounted brands like Dyson, Westman Atelier, and YSL Beauty, among many other treasures.
For your sale spree, we've cherry-picked the most stellar (and likely to sell out fast) deals that you’d be remiss not to cart ASAP.
At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. All product details reflect the price and availability at the time of publication. If you buy or click on something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.

Osea Exfoliate & Glow Body Trio
"Nothing makes me feel more posh than slathering myself in a luxurious body oil. (And as we've already established, I'm something of a body scrub connoisseur.) This Osea trio pairs a full-size jar of the brand's silky body scrub with both a full-size and travel-size bottle of its bestselling Undaria Algae Body Oil, making it an especially good value. The scrub leaves skin polished and smooth, while the oil delivers that glossy, deeply hydrated, just-left-the-spa finish without feeling greasy. Keep the full-size at home and toss the mini in your carry-on so glowing skin can come with you wherever summer takes you." — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer

Therabody TheraFace Mask Glo-LED Skincare Mask
"This LED mask was the cornerstone of my husband's wedding skincare routine, but that hasn't stopped me from stealing it whenever I get the chance. Beyond the red, blue, and infrared LED light treatments, I love that it has built-in vibration massage points that help relieve tension around my temples and forehead while I wear it. It's also surprisingly lightweight and comfortable, so I can wander around the apartment answering emails or folding laundry instead of feeling glued to the couch during a treatment. If you've been eyeing an LED mask, this is one that's worth every penny — especially at $80 off." — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer

First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub 10% AHA
"I consider myself something of a body scrub connoisseur, and after recently testing a lineup of the internet's most popular formulas, one clear winner emerged: First Aid Beauty's KP Bump Eraser. Even better, this Nordstrom Anniversary Sale duo is essentially a buy-one-get-one-free deal. The scrub pairs super-fine pumice to physically buff away rough patches with a potent 10% AHA blend that chemically exfoliates, leaving skin noticeably softer and smoother after just one use. I always know it's doing its job because I wake up the next morning and can't stop absentmindedly running my hands over my skin. Whether you're dealing with keratosis pilaris or just want baby-soft limbs, this formula delivers." — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer

T3 SinglePass Curl X 1.25" Ceramic Extra-Long Curling Iron
"I've owned my T3 SinglePass curling iron for years, and it still performs just as well as it did the day I unboxed it. I haven't found a better tool for creating soft, defined waves and curls in a single pass, thanks to its even heat and smooth-gliding barrel. If you've got long hair (or just want more room to wrap larger sections), the extra-long version is well worth the upgrade — especially while it's $50 off during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale." — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer

Nécessaire The Body Wash Duo Set
"When it comes to beauty, Nordstrom's sale is a surprisingly good opportunity to stock up on everyday essentials for less. I've gone through more bottles of Nécessaire's The Body Wash than I can count, and this two-pack in my favorite scent, Eucalyptus, is an easy addition to my Anniversary Sale cart. The gel formula lathers beautifully without stripping skin, while the fresh, herbal scent makes even a quick shower feel like a trip to a fancy spa." — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer
Nécessaire The Body Wash Duo Set, $, available at Nordstrom
Make Up For Ever Starlit Lip Set
"I had to do a double take when I saw the price of this Make Up For Ever set. Nope, it's not a mistake — you really are getting two mini versions of the brand's bestselling Artist Color Pencils in Wherever Walnut (a gorgeous rosy brown) and Limitless Brown (a rich cocoa), plus a mini Super Boost Lip Gloss. Better yet, the mini pencils last surprisingly long, making this even better value. Together, they create my ideal ‘my lips but better’ combo, with the clear gloss adding just the right amount of shine. I also love that Limitless Brown pulls double (or triple) duty: I use it as an eyeliner and even fill in my black-brown brows with it. This is one of those rare value sets where every single product earns its spot." — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer

Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Big Lip Plumpgasm Kit
"On their own, these lip products are beautiful. But together? Chef’s kiss. I recently attended a Charlotte Tilbury bride and bridesmaid masterclass, where the makeup artist recommended layering the Pillow Talk lipstick (which is cleverly angled so you can skip lip liner if you want to by tracing your lip line for extra definition) with this exact plumping lip gloss. The result was a fuller-looking, 3D lip that stayed put for hours, even through eating and drinking. The gloss delivers an unexpected tingling sensation, but it never leaves lips feeling parched or sore." — Jacqueline Kilikita, Beauty Director

Diptyque Eau de Parfum 3-Piece Discovery Set
"If you ask me, Do Son, Philosykos, and Orphéon are Diptyque’s best — and most compliment-worthy — fragrances. Even if you don’t take my word for it, this discovery set lets you try all three without committing to full-size bottles. Do Son smells like a vacation crossed with freshly washed laundry, thanks to notes of orange blossom, tuberose, and jasmine. Philosykos captures the scent of a fig tree in all its aromatic, leafy greenness, while my personal favorite is Orphéon, of which I’ve finished three bottles and recommended to anyone looking for something a little different. With smoky cedarwood and zingy juniper berries, it smells like a cross between a church and a speakeasy (yes, really), before drying down into something soft, powdery, and comforting." — Jacqueline Kilikita, Beauty Director
Diptyque Eau de Parfum 3-Piece Discovery Set, $, available at Nordstrom
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray Duo
"I’ve been through so many bottles of this setting spray, I’ve lost count. It’s the only one I trust to keep my makeup in place all day without making my face feel like it might crack (that’s all down to soothing aloe vera and moisturizing glycerin) or allowing powder to settle in my thick eyebrows. It goes on invisible and dries down the same way, keeping foundation, concealer, blush, and the rest of your makeup under lock and key. There’s a reason wedding makeup artists swear by it: it can withstand sweat, tears, and plenty of cheek kisses." — Jacqueline Kilikita, Beauty Director
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray Duo, $, available at Nordstrom
Dr. Dennis Gross Glow, Brighten & Smooth Kit
This value set includes months' worth of Dr. Dennis Gross’ bestselling exfoliating peel pads (both the OG and extra-strength formulations), and at a serious steal.
Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare The Peel Vault Gift Set, $, available at Nordstrom
Hourglass Essentials Makeup Brush Set
"I’ve used hundreds of makeup brushes, but nothing comes close to the quality and craftsmanship of Hourglass. This Essentials Makeup Brush Set, valued at $220, includes my favorite multitasking brush: the Ambient Complexion Brush, which I use for contouring, applying foundation, blending concealer, and perfecting blush. The synthetic bristles are incredibly soft yet dense, making light work of blending everything from creams and liquids to powders. I also love how weighty and luxurious these brushes feel in the hand, which makes the fact that they’re on sale even more impressive." — Jacqueline Kilikita, Beauty Director
Hourglass Essentials Makeup Brush Set, $, available at Nordstrom
