Yes, we writers and editors comb through sales and shop just like everyone else—even though there are PR-gifted products for testing along the way, too. I often find myself running out of skin-care products, in need of a new shampoo, or browsing the perfume aisle. With that in mind, I’m determined to make your add-to-cart as easy as can be, with first rate-finds (many of which are actual personal favorites)—all you have to do is scroll.

Ahead, find an edit of the best beauty deals—until they’re gone, at least! It’s wise to act fast on celebrity-loved red light therapy devices, luxe makeup brands, dermatologist-approved skincare, and wellness goods that Vogue editors simply can’t get enough of. After all, this megawatt event only happens once a year, and shopping it now will make the next 365 days indisputably more beautiful. Happy shopping!

Best Beauty Tool Deals

Until every one of us has a spa at home and a standing appointment with Dr. Dennis Gross, Vogue editors will continue to rely on the best beauty tools for a fresh-from-the-salon (or dermatologist’s office!) glow. At the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, there are still discounts on an editor-approved LED-therapy device from Dr. Gross himself, which helps boost collagen and fight acne-causing bacteria. Meanwhile, Gabrielle Union’s favorite gadget, TheraFace’s Depuffing Wand, is on sale too—a worthy recommendation in Union’s Vogue beauty secrets.

For those struggling with stress-related thinning hair or simply looking to speed up their bob grow-out process (I’m currently in the throes of both), Higherdose’s red light hat helps to boost blood circulation to the scalp in just 10 minutes. And if you can’t squeeze in a dermaplaning appointment with your facialist, Dermaflash’s patented design is the answer. “This advanced dermaplaning tool offers a sleek design with a medical-grade stainless-steel blade and vibration technology to enhance the exfoliation process,” Dr. Kristina Collins, MD, a board-certified dermatologist, previously told Vogue.

Best Hair-Care Deals

From multi-stylers to the luscious to lather up with, Nordstom’s beauty sale has discounts on hair-care that Vogue editors swear by. Take, for example, Rōz’s shampoo, which, as celebrity hairstylist Sky Kim noted in our shampoos for dry hair guide, “has a subtle, almost spa-like scent and leaves hair soft and bouncy rather than weighed down.”

Another essential yet underrated part of my hair-care routine is on sale, too—a microfibre towel. Take it from renowned colorist Rita Hazan, who previously told Vogue that “using one on a regular basis can prevent hair breakage and reduce the amount of stress put on your wet hair.” And if you’re looking to upgrade your blowout brush to something a little more high-tech, my two all-time favorite multi-stylers from Dyson and T3 are both on sale. There are deals on luxury hair brushes, too, like Bur Bur’s boar bristle option. Plus, Bondi Boost’s TikTok-viral thermal brush is worth adding to your cart, to easily help fake a blowout with just a flick of the wrist.

Best Skin-Care Deals

Looking to restock your favorite skin-care products? Finally ready to test those viral sensations? The Nordstrom sale has everything you need and more. For example, Tata Harper’s exfoliating face wash refreshes skin with BHAs and apricot microspheres—available even in an extra-large size that’s sure to last for months. When it comes to face masks, 111Skin offers all four of its variations in one set. Why choose one when you can have a mask for every concern?

Meanwhile, Augustinus Bader’s hydrogel mask is packed with “synthetic peptides for anti-aging,” as Dr. Heidi Prather noted in our hydrogel face masks guide. Another steal comes from one of the most luxe skincare brands on the market. If you have wanted to try La Mer, the best-loved minis set is now available—a yearly steal that rings in at under $100. Murden’s top pick is Sulwahsoo’s Activating Serum rich in ginseng for antioxidant protection—leaving skin more hydrated after each use.

Best Makeup Deals

Some of the best Nordstrom Anniversary Sale beauty deals are found in makeup. Where to begin? I’d start with Victoria Beckham Beauty’s mascara and kajal liner set—the pencils, especially, are essentials in many pro kits, including those of celebrity makeup artist Fiona Stiles. “These are simply wonderful to use. They can be drawn on like a liquid liner and smudged out with plenty of play time before they set,” she previously told Vogue.

Cle de Peau’s foundation delivers excellent coverage with a featherlight finish—in fact, its texture is so smooth it includes silk extract. Gift sets from YSL Beauty and Hourglass Cosmetics feature full-size products, from eyeshadow quads to tubing mascara for those interested in testing a variety of goodies. Same goes for Chanel Beauty’s most-coveted trio that’s sure to sell out—the cute mini makeup pouch amplifies its appeal. Finally, Westman Atelier’s pout trio provides everything for a complete lip look (glosses, liners, and lipsticks—oh my!).

Best Fragrance Deals

The best perfumes are even more appealing when they’re on sale—and several of Vogue’s top scents are featured in the sale. Byredo’s Mojave Ghost Trio channels the spirit of the California desert with airy, woody florals. Le Labo’s sandalwood classic, Santal 33, is as smoky and captivating as ever, while Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s discovery set presents a trio of iconic fragrances to try (including the renowned Baccarat Rouge 540).

Parfums de Marly’s popular Delina and Valaya are offered as a set—Valaya, in particular, is a personal favorite and a scent that fragrance expert Eudora Nwasike previously described as “heaven in a bottle.” Meanwhile, Hermes’s Barenia brings a warm, enigmatic note. For those who enjoy home fragrances, Flamingo Estate’s heirloom tomato candle evokes the feeling of walking into a lush vegetable garden.

Best Under-$50

Looking for something that feels like a steal? You’ll appreciate these under $50 deals. One standout bargain is from Tom Ford Beauty. Normally, even the smallest scent costs upwards of $200, but the brand has bottled a sunny duo (Soleil Blanc and Neroli Portofino) in two mini sizes. “Of Tom Ford’s entire fragrance wardrobe, none is as transportive as Neroli Portofino” beauty shopping editor Kiana Murden said, describing it as crisp as the Hugo Spritz.

For at-home facials, Pursonic’s steamer unclogs pores and supports skin hydration—use it before applying products Kate Somerville’s exfoliating face wash apt for a smoother, brighter complexion.

Best Gift Set Deals

Some gifts are nearly guaranteed to please any recipient—or end up staying with you. Whether you are searching for something for a hostess, a birthday present, or a simple travel-ready regimen, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale delivers. For makeup fans, Hourglass Cosmetics has a Nordstrom-exclusive set of travel brushes that Murden and I covet dearly. Whereas, for those who prefer clean beauty, Ilia Beauty’s mascara and eyeshadow stick duo makes eye makeup effortless.

Burberry’s beloved Goddess fragrance—a blend of vanilla and lavender—comes in a set with full, TSA-approved, and mini sizes for easy touchups anywhere. Oribe’s nourishing Gold Lust shampoo and conditioner arrive as a gift set with both full and travel sizes for haircare at home or on the go. Grande Cosmetics’ lash and brow serum has gone viral, with countless celebrity fans including Brooke Shields. Dr. Diamond Metacine’s cult serum is rich in growth factors, peptides, and hydrators for glowing skin. Board-certified internist and longevity expert Dr. Amanda Kahn has highlighted its benefits for supporting collagen, elastin, and skin firmness.

Best Bath & Body Deals

Word to the wise: the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has everything you need to upgrade your body care ritual. No, seriously—cancel all Sunday plans and prepare to become the kind of person who takes an “everything shower”—and then lingers in the bathroom even after it’s done. Plenty of the deals here offer a two-for-one style steal—like La Mer’s body lotion, Salt & Stone’s aromatic body wash, Osea’s hydrating body serum, and Augustinus Bader’s ultra-rich cream. Meanwhile, Malin + Goetz scented body and hand wash is on sale in one of my all-time favorite scents—Rum, a warm, sweet, and spicy olfactory experience which aligns perfectly with my fragrance note preferences. And for those with sensitive skin, Necessaire’s peptide-infused body lotion is fragrance-free and ultra-hydrating.

Best Wellness Deals

Don’t sleep on the wellness section! There are plenty of markdowns to help relieve stress and tension, or promote rejuvenation from within. For example, Higher Dose’s infrared sauna blanket is a fracation of the cost—a device that Murden says helps her detox while resting in bed (Gwyneth Paltrow, of course, concurs.) This in-demand device is among the top offers left in the sale, along with silk pillowcases and eye masks for better sleep. Puresonic’s powerful water flosser will make your dentist happy at your next visit, and the massage gun is perfect for easing muscles after a tough workout.
