The sale includes everything they offer from designer clothing, trending accessories, and home, but there’s nothing like their exclusive beauty deals.

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 that are sold in Nordstrom exclusive sizes or duos. Here are the products that are absolutely worth placing in your cart this anniversary sale.

La Mer Mini Miracles Soft Cream Set
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.
NuFace MINI+ Smart On-the-Go Facial Toning Starter Kit
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).
Estée Lauder Jumbo Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Multi Recovery Complex Face Serum
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.
Elemis Jumbo Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm
Elemis’s cleansing balm isn’t beloved by editors and celebrities like Victoria Beckham for no reason. I always turn to it to remove my makeup at night because it melts into my skin and removes everything while also nourishing it and leaving it soft and hydrated. This jumbo size will last twice as long as the normal size.
Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite™ FaceWare Pro LED Light Therapy Device & Skin Care Set
Dr. Dennis Gross’s LED light-therapy mask is a favorite among the Cut editors whether we’re targeting acne or just have goals of keeping our skin firm. The medical-grade mask by itself is normally $455, but for that price, in this set, you get a mask, a repair serum that plumps and fills in fine lines, a gentle retinol eye serum, and the beloved two-step daily peels, the exfoliation I turn to every day to keep my skin radiant and smooth.
Lancôme Clarifique Refining Brightening Pro Solution
This serum gently exfoliates the skin while targeting dark spots and brightening the complexion. It’s lightweight, efficacious, and rarely this price.
Eighth Day The Regenerative Serum Duo
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
L’Occitane 20 Years of Iconic Almond Duo
This shower oil is celebrating its 20-year anniversary with this set, which is, in my opinion, the best beauty offer of the entire sale: a full size and a full refill for almost the price of one. The rich oil lightly foams to cleanse the body with a luxurious lathering feel that leaves the body cushiony and soft and not stripped of any lipids. The warm vanilla and almond scent is also addicting and will keep you running back.
Osea Golden Glow Discovery Set
Osea’s cult favorite body oil is the oil that delivers everything you could ask for: an intense glow and moisture that improves the skin’s elasticity. This year’s set comes with a full-size oil, a travel size, and the brand’s firming body butter. Using them both together gives you completely renewed skin.
Osea Anti-Aging Body Balm Duo
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.
Malin + Goetz Jumbo Rum Body Wash
If you like your body washes to smell warm, but balanced out with a little bit of spice, like notes of bergamot, you’ll love Malin + Goetz’s Dark Rum body wash, the scent sits on the body post-shower and while in the shower, you’ll experience a hydrating cleanse that leaves the skin feeling smooth. It’s another product the Cut editors love and use daily. Another jumbo, another steal.
Best Makeup Deals
Dior Natural Glow Makeup Set
This set includes some of our favorite Dior Beauty products, from the volumizing mascara loved by our deputy style editor, Joanna Nikas, to the lip balm that stays in my bag for intense hydration and a flirty lip glow. The best part? It comes with a denim Dior-adorned cosmetic bag.
Laura Mercier All Set for Flawless Translucent Loose Setting Powder & Puff
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.
Westman Atelier Petite Lit Up Highlight Stick Duo
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.
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Spray Duo
There aren’t many setting sprays that can set makeup as good as Charlotte Tilbury’s can or that can last all day. Whenever this spray is on sale, it’s a no-brainer to add to the cart; this duo set comes with two full-size sprays. Again, a great gift or extras for you so you never run out.
YSL Beauty Lash Clash Extreme Volume Mascara Duo
I normally wear eyelash extensions, but I like to wear mascara on my bottom lashes. This one always helps define my lower lashes with its intense color and unique bristles. It’s also great for adding volume to the top lashes. It’s another set that comes with two full-sized products for almost the price of one. A beauty steal!
Best Fragrance Deals
Byredo Les Triplés Fragrance Set
Byredo has never made mini bottles like this before, but just for this sale, behold, the miniature set of the three best-selling fragrances, all scents that smell unique and seductive. The bottles don’t come with atomizers, so they’ll have to be lightly poured for every use.
Vacation Summer Scent Duo
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.
Maison Francis Kurkdjian Fragrance Wardrobe for Her Set
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.
Valentino Born in Roma Donna Green Stravaganza Eau de Parfum Gift Set
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.
Tory Burch Essence of Dreams Electric Sky Eau de Parfum Set
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.
Diptyque Eau Rose Eau de Parfum Set
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.
NEST New York Grapefruit & Bamboo Reed Diffuser Duo
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
T3 SinglePass Curl X 1.25” Ceramic Extra-Long Barrel Curling Iron
As someone who doesn’t like curling my hair, this curling iron was a game changer for me. It’s easy and fast to use and it gives the hair shiny, soft and bouncy curls that last. I look like I walked out of the salon after a short time at home.
Briogeo Scalp Saviors Set
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.
