Living in Spain has main character energy about 95% of the time. But online shopping here is still stuck somewhere around 2003, and some days a girl just misses fast, free shipping.
So this year I’m doing something different: narrowing the (extremely long) wishlist down to two things, having them shipped to a friend, and picking them up next time I’m back stateside. Delayed gratification, but make it skincare.
That said, the Anniversale deals are too good not to share. If you’ve got easy shipping (lucky you), this is genuinely one of the best times all year to stock up on the good stuff for less. Consider it your mid-year skin check-in: a little reward for making it to July, minus the guilt, since half of this is on sale for what a “regular” size usually costs.
Full list + links are on my “My Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks” ShopMy shelf. Or you can head directly to Nordstrom.com right now. The breakdown below.
The ARCONA Triad Pads are the one thing on this entire list I’ve repurchased every single Anniversale for as long as I can remember. Everything else here follows the same logic: a size and a price that make “treat yourself” feel like sensible math.
Semi-annual check-in is for makeup, too. Also, it’s summer so the days are longer, your skin is a hue darker, get yourself that kit you’ve been eyeing.
These are not the most glamorous bottles to post from your shower shelf but hear me out. Getting these core staples at third off is extremely satisfying. Plus, this is technically hygiene, not even self-care.
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts on July 18th ends on August 9th.
