Beauty lovers, the end of what I like to call Christmas in July (a.k.a. Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale) is near. One of the most highly anticipated sales of the year opened for everyone on July 15 and will be live until August 4, which means you have less than a week to shop all the deals. The annual sale includes everything Nordstrom offers, from designer clothing to trending accessories and home, but there’s nothing like its exclusive beauty deals. With cult-favorite products like Osea’s body oil featured in a trio kit, a Dior makeup set that comes with a cosmetics bag, and first-ever miniature Byredo bottles in best-selling scents, these exclusives are worth every penny.

I love to use this sale to get early holiday gifts (because, yes, that time will be here before you know it) or to stock up on my absolute favorite products sold at Nordstrom in exclusive sizes or duos. Here are the products that are absolutely worth placing in your cart during this Anniversary Sale.

So, what are the best Nordstrom Anniversary beauty deals?

Best Skin-Care Deals

This sale is always the perfect time to purchase La Mer, whether you’re already a fan and need minis for travel or want to try certain products without spending too much money. For under $100 you get four minis of the La Mer essentials that’ll keep your skin plump and healthy.

Believe the hype, NuFace uses microcurrent to sculpt and tone facial muscles and it’s one of the top beauty tools we believe in at the Cut. The mini device is great if you’re always on-to-go or if it’s your first time trying it and you’re not ready to commit to the regular size (or price).

This serum is famous for its reparative results. Celebrities and beauty lovers turn to it to reduce signs of aging, hydrate, and provide radiance to the skin. It’s another exclusive jumbo-sized product that is almost half the price.

This serum gently exfoliates the skin while targeting dark spots and brightening the complexion. It’s lightweight, efficacious, and rarely this price.

Eighth Day’s luxury regenerative serum is the anti-aging serum. It’s made with patented stem cell technology, peptide-rich plasma, a blend of bio-identical synthetic peptides, growth factors, and amino acids alongside other ingredients like glycolic acid and manuka honey. It’s a fascinating blend developed by reconstructive skin cancer surgeon Dr. Antony Nakhla that will firm, brighten, and plump the skin while also targeting wrinkles and signs of sun damage. This set comes with two serums. It’s expensive, but it’s a splurge that will completely transform your skin, and you can give one away or keep it if you love it that much (and you probably will).

Best Body-Care Deals

If you love oil, you’ll love this. Osea’s body balm delivers the same moisture and softness to the skin while also having firming properties. The balm melts into the skin, while the Alaria seaweed ingredient improves the skin’s elasticity and leaves you glowing.

$32

Formulated with a blend of antioxidants, vitamins, and nourishing oils, this body wash will leave skin feeling so clean and soft. It also has a relaxing, soothing eucalyptus scent that will turn your daily shower routine into a form of self-care.

Looking for an aluminum-free deodorant that actually smells good? This eucalyptus-scented Malin + Goetz product fits the bill, according to reviewers. It lasts all day and won’t stain clothes or leave any residue. During the Anniversary Sale, you can get this set of two for just $34.

If you’re a fan of Jo Malone fragrances, you’ll love the brand’s equally luxurious soaps. We recommend displaying this fruity pear-and-patchouli-scented one in your hallway bathroom to impress your guests (but it can also be used as a body wash).

Best Makeup Deals

No matter how many setting powders have been launched over the years, Laura Mercier’s translucent powder remains the OG. It looks good on all skin tones, lasts all day long, and controls shine like no other. This exclusive set includes a velour puff for a seamless powder application. It’s also perfect to carry around in your purse for shine control throughout the day.

These Westman Atelier highlight sticks give a glow from within. The oil-infused sticks leave a dewy, yet radiant glow on the skin and are perfect over makeup or on the skin alone. This shades duo can create a bright highlight or a warm, golden one.

Best Fragrance Deals

This duo is for you if you like to smell like summer, specifically a summer of nostalgia. Vacation bottled its signature sunscreen scent into a fragrance with coconut-water and coconut-milk notes, the perfect beach scent. To go with it, the brand has the best beach accessory: its shimmer body oil, which leaves a glow on the skin with a golden yet not sparkly finish.

For the people who only love Baccarat Rouge. This discovery set introduces you to the Maison Francis Kurkdjian fragrances world. From fruity scents to warm, spicy scents, there’s an array of scents to choose from and yes, Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum is included in it, too.

I’ve recently started wearing this fragrance and it’s been leaving a scent trail everywhere I go. The blend of the unique and intense lapsang souchong tea smoky note juxtaposed with the warm vanilla extract note is captivating and inviting (and lasting in the New York heat.) This set is the perfect opportunity to buy a new fragrance for yourself and hold onto the other for a future gift. The gift of a scent trail is one of the most memorable.

If you like woody summer scents, you’ll want to douse yourself in this blend of cactus flower, lavender, and wood. This set includes a full-size and travel-size so the addicting scent can accompany you on your travels and earn a spot on your fragrance shelf.

This isn’t your normal rose scent. With fruity notes of lychee, unexpected notes of artichoke and fresh chamomile, this fragrance is an intense feminine signature. This set not only comes with the parfum but also a hair mist, which has been my latest beauty secret to a longer-lasting scent, especially throughout summer. As humidity latches onto hair, so does the mist. This fragrance and mist combined is a combo for the rose-obsessed with a mysterious twist.

If you prefer diffusers over candles, Nest diffusers are always worth the buy. The long-lasting fragrance oils fill an entire room. Both of these scents will bring fresh, citrusy notes to your space.

Best Hair Deals

The skinification of hair is real and it starts with the scalp. One of my favorite ways to care for my scalp is by detoxing it. Briogeo’s charcoal and coconut oil blended shampoo gently exfoliates the scalp to soothe and balance it. It instantly feels refreshed after one use. Get even deeper into the scalp with the scalp stimulating massager that increases circulation in the scalp. This is a duo that your scalp will thank you for.

T3 Airebrush Blow Dry Brush
$100
$100

Several items from T3 — one of the Cut team’s favorite hair-tools lines — are part of the Anniversary Sale, including this top-rated blow-dry bush. It has a ceramic surface to help smooth frizz and boost shine. And thanks to T3’s signature IonFlow Technology, it works well on all hair types.

Oribe Gold Lust Set
$102
$102

This set comes complete with a full-size shampoo, full-size conditioner, travel-size shampoo, and travel-size conditioner — all for just $102 during the Anniversary Sale. The shampoo helps rejuvenate hair, while the conditioner smooths each hair’s individual cuticle and helps protect against future damage.

$170

Consider adding this hair-care set from Guerlain to your shopping cart too. It comes with one full-size serum that helps add shine and thickness over time without weighing down hair or making it appear greasy, as well as a honey-infused mask that helps restore radiance and strengthen the scalp.
