Best Beauty Tool Deals
Though you can’t toss a destination spa in your cart during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (not yet, at least), you can get that fresh-off-a-mountain retreat radiance. Thanks to the best beauty tools, sculpted cheekbones, spotless pores, and even firmer thighs can all be achieved at home. The sale is the ideal time to harness the firming and toning power of Vogue’s favorite microcurrent device, the NuFace Trinity+. “Whenever I want to immediately look snatched, I grab my NuFace without fail,” Vogue’s senior beauty shopping writer Kiana Murden has remarked. To take the snatching head-to-toe, put BeautyBio’s Afterglo set to the test. Stocked with microneedling treatments for the face and body, the set can smooth and firm the skin everywhere, from the cheeks to the thighs, all without an ounce of pain. (It’s true—nary a Vogue editor yelped during trials.) Speaking of painless but effective tools, you can chill, Netflix, and boost your collagen in one go with Dr. Dennis Gross’s hands-free mask. Clinically proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and treat acne, the celebrity-approved LED face mask has been bundled with dermatologist-designed skin care for the sale. Dr. Gross’s beloved Alpha Beta peel, Vogue’s pick for the best pore-minimizing peel, is included in the kit—and the sale has plenty of other tools that will give that practically poreless, blurred-skin effect. For example? The PMD Personal Microderm Elite Pro Exfoliation Device is a favorite of medical esthetician Jordana Mattioli, who previously explained to Vogue that the device has spinning microdermabrasion discs to polish the face, while suction frees the pores from debris. For more complexion TLC, Dermaflash’s two-in-one tool extracts blackheads, dirt, oil, and debris from the pores while infusing the skin with glow-boosting ingredients. For the hair, T3’s single-pass tool uses customized heat settings to style the mane while banishing frizz and amping up shine.
Best Skin-Care Deals
It’s rare to find discounts on the very skin-care items that dermatologists, Vogue editors, and celebrities hoard, but the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2024 is one such occasion. As such, now is the perfect time to stock up on goods that will get you the glowiest skin of your life—starting with a deep, makeup-and-dirt-eviscerating cleanse with Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm. On sale in a jumbo format, the perennial favorite features a blend of brown algae, elderberry, and starflower oils to soften, tone, and restore elasticity to the skin. Pro tip: Use it as a weekly mask for deep nourishment and hydration. Or, if your skin’s a bit oilier, spend your mask nights with Kiehl’s Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque. It tamps down shine, refines the appearance of pores, and earned a spot on Vogue’s list of the best skincare products of 2024.
No glow is sufficiently resplendent without regular exfoliation, and Sunday Riley’s Good Genes All-in-One Lactic Acid Treatment has been known to plump, brighten, and clarify the complexion in a mere 15 minutes. Fortified with soothing arnica and prickly pear extract, it’s the rare exfoliant that’s suited to sensitive skin, so grab the (discounted) jumbo bottle while you can. Other top-of-the-line treatments that are on sale include Dr. Barbara Sturm’s serums. Nordstrom’s special set pairs the Hyaluronic Serum and Glow Drops for an instant boost of celebrity-approved radiance. (The latter is a key element of Hailey Bieber’s “favorite, beachy glowy makeup look.”)
When it comes to moisturizers, dermatologists, beauty editors, and Eva Longoria alike swear by Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream—during the sale, you can try it yourself for nearly $100 less. Finally, most would agree that SPF is nonnegotiable. But even those who try to resist it (or make it at home) find it tough to find a flaw in Supergoop’s Unseen formulation. On sale in a stick-and-bottle set, the SPF 40 melts into all skin tones without a trace and also works as a makeup primer.
Best Makeup Deals
Your summer beauty plans may include a cult-classic lip color, a bronze-metallic eye, or a golden-peach pop of color on the cheeks. But why choose just one? Thanks to the Nordstrom Anniversary sale beauty deals, you can hit your next pool party or destination wedding, flaunting all three makeup essentials and still have enough to splurge on the dress. (Or save—plenty of party-ready looks are on sale at Nordstrom, too.)
