The best buys from Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale
It’s that time of year again, and I’m not talking about the beginning of the back-to-school email onslaught. (That’s what happens when school starts on the ungodly date of August 10.) I’m talking about Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale—and it’s enough to turn that frown upside down. It’s definitely worth taking the time to peruse the offerings, but of course I did the homework for you and here are my top five picks.
Kiehl’s Creme de Corps refill: I’ve always been a huge fan of this daily body lotion, not only because it gets the job done, but because it’s unscented so it doesn’t interfere with perfume. This monster-sized refill will have you covered from head to toe for quite some time (it’s the equivalent of four regular-sized bottles)—and it’s the perfect opportunity to decant into a decorative pump bottle that will elevate your nightstand or vanity.
Oribe Magic Duo Set: Don’t waste a second before adding this to your cart because it WILL sell out. You get full sizes of the famed Dry Texturizing Spray and Gold Lust Dry Shampoo for $35 off the regular price. This doesn’t happen every day.
Diptique Travel Size Scented Candle Set: Everyone needs a stockpile of small gifts so you don’t have to scramble before a last-minute invitation (or if you simply forget to pick something up). These sumptuously-scented candles will please any fragrance palate—and you should probably get a set for yourself.
Dior Lip Glow & Care Set: If you’ve never tried Dior’s plumping or color-adapting glosses, there’s no better time than now. (They’re the best.) This set also includes a travel-size Diorshow Maximizer 3D Lash Primer that will likely become a permanent fixture in your makeup bag.
Crème de la Mer Moisturizing Cream Grande: OK, this one isn’t for everyone, but if you’re a La Mer devotee and on a limitless budget, you can get a whopping half-pound of this miracle cream at an unbeatable per-ounce price. P.S. You can totally split it with your friends! (It’s also available in the Soft Cream version if you prefer the lighter texture.)
