As much as I love snagging a great deal on some of the most coveted beauty products in the industry, actually navigating a sale—and wading through the pages and pages of product options—can feel overwhelming. In fact, sometimes the overstimulation leads me to shopping paralysis, and I end up just closing out my tabs with a nary a cent spent. (Not that my credit card has ever complained, of course.)
Because it’s my job to comb the beauty market and shop and test as much as I can, I’ve slowly but surely improved my technique when it comes to sniffing out the best products at the best deals during epic events like Nordstrom’s current Spring Sale. And now, I can shop the heck out of a super-large sale offering without missing a beat. Between now and April 18, you can score up to 60% off on tons of your favorite brands and products, and to celebrate, I’ve weeded out some of my personal favorites that I have an inkling will sell out fast. Keep scrolling! 21 Nordstrom beauty treasures you should definitely put in your cart are just ahead.
Wearing a practically weightless-feeling foundation becomes all the more important once spring and summer roll around. This long-wearing formula from Bobbi Brown does the trick and is especially great for anyone with normal or oily skin types.
It’s not every day that you can buy one of the best mascaras in the biz for a whopping 50% off. It’s a triple threat thanks to its simultaneous lifting, volumizing, and lengthening powers.
Speaking of fabulous mascaras, every perfectionistic lash connoisseur absolutely needs to test these cult-classic formulas from Too Faced. I love this mini set so you can do test-drive before plunging headfirst for the full size.
When it comes to crème de la crème hand creams, nothing comes close to Laura Mercier’s drool-inducing aromas and hydrating formulas. This four-piece set features Ambre Vanille, Almond Coconut Milk, Crème Brûlée, and—my favorite—Fresh Fig.
Anyone who spends time with me in the flesh knows I can talk about the NeuLash and neuBrow serum until I’m blue in the face. The formulas work fast, and obviously, I’m telling you to add this lash-enhancing magic to your shopping cart stat.
It’s expensive, but Guerlain’s Abeille Royale Watery Face Oil is one of my favorite skincare products to date. The fact that Nordstrom paired it up with two other dreamy elixirs (a water-like toning lotion and a serum) from the brand just sends me over the edge.
I don’t even want to think about how many tops I’ve ruined in my venture for an effective yet clean natural deodorant. This herbal-infused, baking soda– and aluminum–free formula is one of the few that has passed the test.
I’ve also been loving this zingy body wash (especially in the morning pre-coffee) which foams and lathers deliciously on your skin for the ultimate detox. And, hey, $14 is what you’d pay at the drugstore!
Complete your ritual with this yummy body lotion which smells like cedar and bergamot (AKA a sun-drenched summer cabin bottled).
It Cosmetics is probably one of my most frequently recommended beauty brands when it comes to both makeup and skincare. This limited-edition set has everything you need and includes 12 best-selling products for the eyes, lips, and face, plus a full-size Superhero mascara!
This threesome from Stila epitomizes getting lots of bang for your buck. For just $25 it includes a full-size plumping lip glaze, one eye shadow, and a full-size Trifecta Metallica Lip, Eye and Cheek Stick.
I always crave a new eye shadow palette at the beginning of a new season, and right now, I’m eyeing this pretty opalescent number from Bobbi Brown.
For the times when I need lots of skin hydration and just a little dose of coverage, I reach for this hyaluronic acid– and jojoba oil–enriched tinted moisturizer from Tom Ford.
Then, for a kick of highlight and a natural yet believable flush, top it off with this dual-ended fan-favorite from Wander Beauty.
The only thing better than Mario Badescu’s holy-grail face mist? Mario Badescu’s holy-grail face mist when it comes with an equally enchanting candle.
I’m a freak for hand soap. It has to look nice, it has to smell nice, and it has to keep my hands soft and silky. This one is made especially for Nordstrom in Switzerland and smells like a Scandinavian oasis. It was originally $42, so you know it’s as luxe as it sounds!
‘Tis the season for glossy and glowy limbs, and nothing will get you there faster than this pumpkin and hempseed body oil.
Caffeine, collagen, and antioxidants tag team to revive even the dullest of complexions with just one use. This mask plumps, lifts, brightens and even helps reduce stubborn dark circles.
Trust me when I say you’ll fall hard for this Italian-made anti-aging rose facial oil from Irene Forte.
For a fraction of its original price, you can nab this trio of nighttime skin heroes from Hungarian brand Omorovicza. The cleanser, plumping cream, and cult-loved face mist work in harmony to nurture and dew-up your skin while you log your nightly beauty sleep.
I’m already dreaming of the deliriously luxe baths I’ll take with this slat duo by my side—one in matcha mint and one in lavender citrus.
