Holy Grail

Let’s start with the products I stock up on every year during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.  So many of my year-round favorite products come in exclusive sets at insanely low prices during the sale, and often times the set will last me the whole year!  Every year I grab one of these Philosophy ‘Purity’ Cleanser sets.  It’s only $55 and comes with a small bottle to keep in your medicine cabinet, as well as a huge 32oz. refill.  I keep refilling the small bottle with this pump all year long.  Honestly, I don’t think that you can buy cleanser at Target for that price for a whole year!  This year I am using different products during my pregnancy, but my mom grabbed it and if you’re in the market for a gentle cleanser, try this one!

Makeup wise, this year I grabbed this BeautyBlender set.  It comes with two BeautyBlender sponges, a travel/drying case, as well as the cleansing solid…all for the price of just the two sponges!  My favorite foundation brush ever is this Sigma Kabuki brush, and it’s included in this small brush set that includes four brushes for only $50!  These brush styles are my most used, and trust me, you will LOVE the kabuki brush.  And before I was pregnant, I used NeuLash religiously for about 3 years.  It helps your eyelashes grow way longer and thicker.  The set on sale lasted me a whole year each time I would buy it, and it doesn’t leave any dark pigment on your eyelids.

This year’s hair tools are incredible!!!  My blowdryer, curling iron, and straighter are ALL included!!!!!  I get tons of questions about what curling iron I use, and this one by t3 is amazing.  It is such high quality and will last you for years.  My favorite shampoo and conditioner is also including in this combo set.

And I totally thought that silk pillowcases were a gimmick (I’m the world’s biggest skeptic…haha!), until I tried one.  My hair stylist recommended them, and because I trust her so much I bought this one when it was full price.  Daniel has been stealing my pillow as a joke ever since because he loves how cold the fabric stays, and so when I saw this set of two on crazy sale last year I snagged it so he’d stop stealing mine 😉.  I’m grabbing a fresh new set this year!

Makeup

Every year, Nordstrom comes out with the best makeup exclusive sets just for the sale, and this year did not disappoint.  My favorite makeup purchase I made during this year’s Nordstrom Anniversary Sale was this MAC eyeshadow set!  It comes in either a matte or metallic version (I got the matte), and the colors are all beautiful and neutral!!!  It can be tough to find eyeshadow palettes that you can use all the colors of, but this one you definitely can.  It also comes with a mascara and a black eyeliner (both full-size!) for under $50!!!

My other favorite set is this Urban Decay basics set that includes their “Basics” eyeshadow palette, as well as full size versions of their eyeshadow primer potion and makeup setting spray.  Their eyeshadow primer and setting spray are well known as some of the best on the market!  I actually own the basics eyeshadow palette that is included, and paid full price for it about a year ago.  It is super compact, making it perfect for travel, and includes all neutral matte shadows.

My favorite lip kit is this Charlotte Tilbury three piece set.  It comes with their best selling lipliner in the “Pillowtalk” shade that everyone raves about.  I hadn’t personally tried it before I bought this kit, but I absolutely love it.  It goes with just about every neutral lipstick I own, including both of the shades that come in the kit.  If you’re a fan of neutral brown/pink shades like I am, you will LOVE these!

Hair

Like I mentioned earlier, I was SO excited to see that my favorite t3 hair tools were all included in the Anniversary Sale this year!!!  Their curling irons are the absolute best on the market, and the prettiest…haha.  If you are in need of a new blowdryer, straightener, or curling iron be sure to grab one of these while they are on sale!

And as far as shampoo and conditioner goes, my favorite kind ever, Oribe, has a mini travel set that I snagged.  It is definitely pricey but my hair has never been healthier.  If you want a little more bang for your buck, my second favorite type by Living Proof has the best deal!  These huge refills will last you a long time, and they come with a bottle of the best dry shampoo ever.  Like I buy two of those a month 😉.
