The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2024 Beauty Deals to Snap Up Before It’s Too Late

For any shopping savant—including every Vogue editor—the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale counts as an official summer holiday. As such, we’ve spent most of July in a very celebratory mood, jauntily refilling our beauty bags with picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2024. However, this week brings a shift in energy—and an uptick in shopping motivation—as the sale starts to come to a close. Let this serve as your official notice that this Sunday, August 4, is the last day to score wardrobe and beauty essentials at a steal, and these are deals you don’t want to miss.

In the beauty aisle alone, markdowns still grace coveted goods from Augustinus Bader, NuFace, Oribe, and more. (At the risk of causing heart palpitations, dare we mention that Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk lip kit is also still on sale?) However, goods are going fast, and we’ve had our hearts broken by more than one “sold out” notification. But before you grab your smelling salts, take heed: The remaining sale items still include crème de la crème picks for face, hair, and body, and we can hardly believe these goods are still in stock. Well, for now anyway. Ahead, find the best Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2024 beauty items to score while you still can. We won’t even be mad if you grab the last one.

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 Clinique’s Dramatically Different Moisturizing Face Lotion. On sale in a jumbo format, the enduring classic features a dermatologist-developed blend of intensely hydrating ingredients, including pure glycerin and pure urea. Pro tip: Use it to emit a faux, I-just-slept-eight hours glow after those nights when you slept barely four, as British Vogue’s Jessica Diner has done during London Fashion Week. 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 include Dr. Barbara Sturm 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.

Your summer beauty plans may include a cult-classic lip color, a sultry plummy eye, or a golden-peach pop of color on the cheeks. But why choose just one? Thanks to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2024, 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.)

With coveted makeup on sale, now is the time to find out why Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk lipstick is an enduring celebrity favorite. The pinkish-nude hue is so beloved, in fact, that The Bear’s Molly Gordon previously told Vogue: “The least original thought ever: I’m a Pillow Talk girl.” Buy the cult-loved lipstick during the sale, and you’ll get it in a set with the matching liner and gloss. Also on the lip tip, Maddie Ziegler’s go-to Armani Prisma lip gloss is also on sale. Two full-size versions of the balm, including a clear and a candy-pink iteration, are included in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale set. Ziegler told Teen Vogue: “The Armani beauty Prisma Glass Lip Gloss is incredible because it’s super hydrating and they don’t stick at all. Plus, the colors are so fun and fresh.” The shiny gloss with pair any look created with Tom Ford’s eyeshadow palette—a mix of velvety, pink-and-plum hues—while Anastasia Beverly Hills Deluxe Brow Kit will leave the arches photoshoot-ready. (After all, Kendall Jenner calls Anastasia’s pencil her “tried-and-true” trick for top-model brows.) A lit-from-within flush provides just the finish for any summer makeup look, and you can take your pick from the colors in Westman Atelier’s Bronze Trio. The kit gives an instant, just-back-from-the-beach flush. Though, if it’s a just-back-from-the-Paris-Olympics look you crave, Lancôme’s ultra-precise liquid liner makes it simple to achieve that French-girl flick.

That fresh-from-the-salon bounce in your step (and your hair) feels almost as good as getting a deal. During the Anniversary Sale, get a dual rush by scoring savings on haircare more commonly found backstage at photoshoots and fashion shows than in the sale aisle. Guerlain’s Abeille Royale haircare collection is a Vogue-editor secret for thicker, shinier locks, while Oribe’s cult-classic texturizing spray is beauty editor at large Arden Fanning Andrews’s forever top pick “after a decade of trying them all.”

Before styling, any eye-catching coif needs a good cleanse, and Malin + Goetz’s bestselling Peppermint Shampoo leaves hair salon-fresh and soft. Plus, it was specially formulated to be gentle enough for frequent use; it won’t dry or strip the hair or cause buildup on the scalp. On that note, Olaplex’s No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner can be used daily to repair damaged hair, keep frizz at bay, and douse your mane with a little shine. Looking for more wash-day options? Perfect Hair Day Shampoo from Jennifer-Aniston-approved Living Proof harnesses a proprietary amino complex to cleanse the hair without stripping it.

Between washes, styling, and the fuss-free days of dry shampoo, there’s scalp health to consider. (After all, scalp care is hair care.) Briogeo’s Scalp Saviors set pairs a handheld scalp massager with a coconut-charcoal micro-exfoliating shampoo, which is clinically proven to improve scalp hydration. Here’s to good hair days ahead.

During the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, the best fragrance deals extend to scents that have become a signature for Vogue editors, perfuming many an air kiss between industry insiders. The classic Baccarat Rouge 540, for example, comes in the exclusive Maison Francis Kurkdjian Paris discovery set. Former shopping writer Alexis Bennett describes the iconic perfume as “universally flattering,” and is admittedly “obsessed” with its “sweet yet soft, airy scent.” Another classic? Chloé Signature Eau de Parfum, which associate fashion editor Charlotte Diamond has been loyal to since high school. “Whenever I reunite with someone I haven’t seen for a while they always comment on how happy they are that I still use the same perfume!” she said of the flower-heavy scent. If it’s flowers you’re after, you may also consider plucking a bottle of Diptyque Eau de Rose from the sale. “I love how light and easy the smell is,” market editor Naomi Elizée said, adding that, crucially, this rose is “not overpowering.” Add to the floral bouquet with finds from Le Labo’s Discovery Set, which includes travel-friendly bottles of the lavender-infused Lavande 31 and the jasmine-spiked Another 13—the wildly popular Santal 33 is in the set, too. There’s a reason “half of New York City wears Santal 33,” creative development senior associate Lucy Dolan-Zalaznick has noted—the woody homage to the American West has a way of casting a spell on even the most sophisticated scent-lovers. Speaking of scent-lovers—and spell-casters—Dua Lipa’s signature scent, Yves Saint Laurent’s Moroccan-orange-blossom-spiked Libre—is also on rare sale. From African gardens to far-flung resorts, Tom Ford’s trio of Private Blend Soleil fragrances channel sun-dappled getaways steeped in white-sand beaches.

To take the preening from head to toe, add a few of the best body-care deals to your Nordstrom Anniversary Sale cart. Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Cream Face + Body Set not only contains the Magic Body Cream, which landed on our Best Body Lotions list because it instantly transforms dry, sagging skin; it also has a dewy-skinned celebrity’s secret weapon. Rita Ora told Vogue that the brand’s Magic Cream Face Moisturizer is integral to her glow. Like your oil with a little glimmer? Now is the time to pick up Kopari’s Hyaluronic Moisture Set. Infused with the brand’s signature ingredient—namely, the very coconut oil with which Zoё Kravitz is besotted—the set contains a luxurious whipped body cream and a body oil infused with shimmer-inducing flecks of gold. A bit of sparkle shines brighter against a bronzed backdrop— conveniently, the St. Tropez bronzing mousse is also on sale. Everyday essentials get a glamorous spin in Nordtsrom’s sale aisles too. Consider a designer deodorant scented with Donna Karan’s White Cashmere, which had a viral moment on TikTok decades after the ‘90s scent first breezed onto the scene with its distinctive, jasmine and sandalwood notes. For body washes, Nėcessaire’s eucalyptus-scented Body Wash Duo takes simple cleansing up a notch with skincare-grade ingredients including niacinamide and vitamins A, C, and E. Handcare counts, too, and Kiehl’s Ultimate Strength Hand Salve has long been a Vogue-editor favorite. Tried and true, the hardworking cream leaves hands soft and hydrated—even for those involved with heavy industrial work.

An utterly cozy blanket, a divinely scented candle, elevated dental essentials—the best wellness deals at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale ensure that your surroundings and spirit will get a glow-up along with your skin, body, and hair. (Not to mention, your teeth.) Why not stay hydrated—32 ounces at a time—with a sleek, wide-mouth bottle from Hydro Flask? Or, brighten your smile with the Moon teeth-whitening device system? To keep the good habits going, ensure proper beauty sleep with UGG’s throw-blanket-and-sleep-mask set. Made of plush faux shearling, the sweet-dream facilitator comes with a convenient carry bag that makes it easy to doze on the go. Speaking of dreamy things, Pura’s collaboration with Brooklyn Candle fills the home with scents ranging from jasmine-gardenia-laced Sunday Morning to Love Potion, which melds jasmine with lavender and mandarin. All the scents are housed in Pura’s smart plug-in, which can be controlled via smartphone. But if you prefer a more traditional route to home fragrance, Nest’s Grapefruit & Bamboo Diffuser Duo envelops spaces in the fresh scents of flowering bamboo and juicy pink grapefruit. Another lovely option is Diptyque’s 4-Piece Candle Gift Set, which lends itself to candlelit moments fragranced with rose, fig, lavender, or berries.

As much as our editors love a good beauty secret, the editor picks from Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale are too good to guard. To wit: Senior shopping editor Talia Abbas, whose job threatens to leave her jaded on sales, almost spilled her coffee when she saw Westman Atelier’s Eye Want Mascara on sale (with a matching eyeliner, no less.) “I haven't clicked on anything faster,” she confides. “[This is] my go-to mascara, which doesn't smudge and gives a weightless, comfortable lift.” Speaking of items Abbas hastened to add to her cart, she isn’t the only one in her household who will make good use of Supergoop!’s Unseen Sunscreen set. Abbas will be using her favorite Supergoop! gel sunscreen on the daily as usual, while her boyfriend will steal away with the sunscreen stick for hiking and biking. However, she’s a smidge less likely to share Slip’s pure-silk skinny scrunchies. “The rare slim scrunchie that can hold my thick hair!” she raves. “Do I hoard these? Maybe!”

Vogue’s senior beauty shopping writer Kiana Murden certainly understands Abbas’s hoarding proclivities when it comes to the coveted scrunchies. “My love for Slip's silk scrunchies knows no bounds,” she admits. “Since getting hooked on them a few years ago, I genuinely don't use any other hair ties. The result? Less snags and breakage as they're much gentler on the hair strands. No better time to stock up than when a 10-pack is $20 off during the Nordstrom sale.” Murden’s hair will get a more flowery fix with a spritz of Diptyque’s Eau Rose Hair Mist—which took her by surprise with its sheer irresistible-ness. “I don't consider myself a huge rose girl but Diptyque's elixir has an addictive quality I can't get enough of,” she muses. “Sweet yet fresh, thanks to rose Damascena opposing lychee and artichoke, this hair mist-eau de parfum duo has been on constant rotation.”

Famous for her steadfast commitment to skincare, Murden will also stock up on 111Skin’s Face & Eye Repair Skin Care Set while it’s $160 off. “On nights when I don't quite want to reach for a retinol but want something with more anti-aging benefits than a hydrating serum, I've been reaching for 111Skin's Repair Serums,” she says. “Powered by NAC Y2, these help reduce fine lines and dark spots for a plumper, bouncier complexion.” Murden’s not just thinking ahead with her anti-aging regime—she also knows that the holidays have us whipped up into a shopping frenzy sooner than we think. “It's never too early to start stocking up on holiday gifts in my opinion, so I'm eyeing all the gift sets I can now,” she says. “I think my mom would be fond of this True Botanicals kit which features a radiance-boosting serum, face oil, and moisturizer sure to add a luxe enhancement to her skincare routine.”

There’s a deal, and then there’s a complete, utter steal. Thanks to its assortment of under-$50 finds from some of the world’s best beauty brands, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has plenty of items that fall into the glorious, gloat-worthy latter category. Suited for stocking stuffers (it’s never too early to think ahead!) or bulk purchases, Nordstrom’s under-$50 assortment includes a duo of NARS’s most iconic blushes. Gather round, Gen Z, while I describe the elicit delight of purchasing NARS Orgasm blush at the mall in the ’90s. Malls may be largely abandoned, but the peachy-pink shade of Orgasm—lit up with a dash of golden glimmer—has never gone out of style. Speaking of enduring ’90s classics (since everyone’s talking about the halcyon days of Supermodels anyway) MAC’s iconic Ruby Woo Lip Kit is currently $28 off. The beloved shade of vivid blue-red is a favorite of Vogue editors, French girls, and Taylor Swift alike. To keep the pout conditioned between lipstick applications, stock up on Fresh’s Tint & Treat Trio. The set contains the Fresh Advanced Therapy Treatment Lip Balm, which earned a spot on Vogue’s list of the best-ever lip balms to soothe dry, cracked lips. Equally soothing on the skin, Estée Lauder’s Perfectly Clean Skin Care Set contains a gentle foam cleanser and an essence lotion that harnesses amino acids and lily to balance and hydrate the skin; model Fei Fei Sun can vouch for the collection’s glow-boosting abilities. Other deals to snap up—and swipe on—include Malin + Goetz’s eucalyptus deodorant set. The brand’s aluminum-free deodorants made their way into Vogue’s edit of the best natural deodorants, all tested and approved by editors who bravely went au natural during a sticky New York summer. Luckily, Dolce Glow’s self-tanning mousse—the secret to Miley Cyrus’s golden luster—is anything but sticky. Vogue beauty editor at large Arden Fanning Andrews, never one to worship the sun, recently gave Dolce Glow’s sunless tanning products a spin. The result? “I’m skipping through the streets in clothes that actually match the weather, raking in the ‘glow compliments–and counting it as a beauty and fashion success,” she shared earlier this summer.
