Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2019 Beauty Exclusives Haul

July 12, 2019

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Beauty Exclusives 2019 Haul Picks | Fashion Groom Spot

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2019 is officially live online and in stores for all Nordstrom Cardholders! Early Access starts today and runs through the 18th and then opens up to the public.

  • July 12 – 18 Early Access for Nordstrom Cardmembers
  • July 19 – August 4 Anniversary Sale for Public

I shopped the Icon Pre-Shop in stores and found some really cute things! I’ll be sharing the full haul over the next couple of days. Today’s post is a look at my Beauty Exclusives haul picks, swatches, first impressions along with top recommendations. This is just a preliminary post since I just hauled these items, most of them are new makeup colors/palettes. Full review to follow on each group I’ve hauled.

Top Recommendations for Everyone

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has a lot of new products curated specifically for the sale. There are tons of palettes, limited-edition sets, special value sizes etc. I love scoping out the new launches but every year they have certain items that are on sale repeatedly that I 100% think are worth checking out:

  • Simplehuman Round Sensor Mirror Pro ($150 sale, after sale $250) – is one of the best beauty tools I own, even Andrew and my brother each have their own and love them. It has 5x or 10x magnification with the best lighting system I’ve tried. One of mine is the original back from 2014 and it still works. The model has been upgraded and improved over the years and now you can control the lighting.
  • Sensor Mirror Pro Wide View ($250 sale, $400 after sale) – another splurge-worthy item, this one is more ideal for those who want larger panels to see your entire face. It has a small magnetic 10x mirror attachment, but the panels themselves do not have magnification detail like the round one.
  • Barefoot Dreams anything! I splurged on the CozyChic Throw and CozyChic Ribbed Throw at the full price a few holidays ago. It has made the “things Sabrina cannot live without” list. It’s the softest most plush blanket and even though it’s meant to be a throw, I sleep with it every night for the best deepest kind of sleep. It’s what I imagine sleeping in a cloud would be like.
  • Diptyque Miniature 5 Piece Candle Set ($48 for 5 x 1.23 oz candles) is the best way to try Diptyque if you don’t have a store or counter near you. I promise you won’t be disappointed but if you find it hard to commit to the full size without being able to smell them, these are the best way to try.
  • Le Labo Hinoki Hand Soap ($38 for the jumbo size) is Andrew’s favorite scent for the home. We’ve bought this in shower gel form several times as well and are obsessed. It’s so unique and very soothing. If it were made into candle form I think we’d burn it all the time.

My Nordstrom Beauty Exclusives Haul

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Beauty Exclusives 2019

What I hauled and added to my shelfie! Full review, more swatches and thoughts to follow as I’m able to test but I wanted to get info up as quickly as I could with first impressions since my Instagram DMs have been flooded with tons of questions!

Charlotte Tilbury

Charlotte Tilbury Mini Easy Smoky Eye Palette ($55 on sale) has six shades of neutral warm tones with excellent pigment. I love the size, colors and formula but this has a very similar vibe to last year’s Stars In Your Eyes Palette (scroll down for quick swatch comparisons).

Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Full Size Lip Kit ($60 on sale, $78 value) has one of my favorite lip shades in liner and lipstick (I don’t mind having backups because I’ve used up the liner several times). It has the added matching Lip Gloss which I absolutely adore.

Comparison swatch of the Nordstrom Palette (6 shades) to Holiday 2018 Stars In Your Eyes (swatched a portion of the similar shades, 7 of the 12 shades in the palette I found most similar):

Tom Ford Beauty

Tom Ford Beauty Eye Quad and Mini Lip Set ($88 on sale) has a new White Suede Eyeshadow Quad and miniature lipsticks in Paper Doll (light pink) and Autoerotique (perfect nude on me). The quad has a beautiful mix of light and medium-deep for a really interesting soft smokey eye with some sparkle. So many of you wanted to know if this Nordstrom White Suede in the same as the White Suede that was launched last year in the white compact at Neiman Marcus. It’s similar but not identical.

Laura Mercier

Laura Mercier Tres Chic Face Palette ($52 on sale) has six shades for blush, highlight and bronzer. The colors have a soft wash to them in what appear to be universally flattering tones. It looked so stunning in store it took my breath away! I need to play with this more. My first impressions are that it’s very soft and extremely powdery. It felt ultra sheer, almost a little too sheer. It promises 10 hour wear and it did last all day without budging or darkening. I’m undecided but my first impressions are that I might just be too dark/tan for this one. I swatched with a super heavy hand below and it’s still very soft looking.

Dior

Dior Addicted to Glow Lip Set Light ($70 on sale, $93 value) has a full size Addict Lip Glow in Pink, Addict Lacquer Stick in Bliss (pale peachy beige) and a miniature Lip Maximizer. I bought this primarily for the exclusive lip shade which turns out to look ultra pale on me. I can make it work with a liner. I love the Addict Lacquer Stick formula but only a few shades work for me. If I could do this one over I’d pass on this set, but I don’t put store testers anywhere near my lips!

NARS

I hauled almost all the NARS x Nordstrom offerings but have only had a chance to try one of them. Full detailed review on the collection to follow. I had my eye on the Afterglow Lip Balm Duo which has minis of Orgasm (shifts to a healthy pink) and new Hidden Pleasure (changes to a rose mauve). I really hope they make Hidden Pleasure in the full size! I also bought the Motu Tane Face Palette ($42, pink variation), Hot Tropic Lip Gloss Set ($39, seems sheer based on hand swatching), and the Naked Paradise Satin Lip Pencil Set ($39, I have high hopes for these colors!).

A quick peek at 2 of the lip sets (more photos, swatches, etc. coming soon).

Other haul picks

I bought all the MAC lip sets, they’re usually solid performers and I love the minis because they get used up all the way quickly. The neutrals usually go really fast so if you have your eye on any I recommend buying them sooner than later. A few other picks from Diptyque, Le Labo, Kiehl’s, Oribe and Bobbi Brown linked below.

    • BeautyLookBook July 12, 2019 at 4:31 pm

      I’m totally a blanket person, I use it for everything lol … when I watch tv, sleeping with, to walk around the house in the mornings when I’m still more than 1/2 asleep.

  • Susan July 12, 2019 at 10:41 am

  • Kendra Miller July 12, 2019 at 10:59 am

    On my wishlist are cute flats, tall black boots (preferably water resistant), PJs, a new little black dress, and maybe some new makeup!

    • BeautyLookBook July 12, 2019 at 4:31 pm

      I need water resistant boots too! Just can’t bring myself to buy a pair with this Florida heat.

  • stephanieamccoy July 12, 2019 at 10:59 am

    My wishlist is the Diptyque candle set, Charlotte Tilbury eyeshadow palette, Le Labo perfume duo, Tom Ford White Suede palette with the lipstick duo, and the Nars lip balm duo!

  • DRTVrMoi July 12, 2019 at 10:59 am

    Living in Florida, none of the clothing items work for me. I may get a pair of reptile mules and perhaps some workout clothes. I’m leaving for Europe in two months and would rather save my money for then.

    • BeautyLookBook July 12, 2019 at 4:31 pm

      LOL, most of the clothes don’t work for me either but I did find some nice tank tops and camisoles! Also bought a couple of jeans! But yes, definitely save for Europe! Sounds like fun 🙂

  • N K July 12, 2019 at 10:59 am

    I would love to get the TF eyeshadow quad set as well as the TF Boys/Girls trio and YSL gloss set.

    I just ordered the dior lip balm set and the Nars balms as well. Thank you for the suggestions and reviews!

  • Catherine Shi July 12, 2019 at 11:21 am

    Ooh, thank you for the swatches! A friend and I were trying to figure out if White Suede was the same. I’m so impressed with the Tom Ford sets this year! I have my eye on the one with the highlighter duo.

    • BeautyLookBook July 12, 2019 at 4:32 pm

      Tom Ford is always a good idea 🙂

  • Ruth Preminger July 12, 2019 at 11:21 am

    The Tom Ford Reflects Gilt/Golden Peach set, Diptyque mini set, barefoot dreams circle cardigan and a new handbag! I always stock up on t shirts, as well. I still regret not getting the TF Iris Bronze quad last year. No regrets 2019!

  • Jana Gr. July 12, 2019 at 11:21 am

    Thank you for all your recommendations! The Nars Mini Afterglow Balm Duo is really appealing to me, but I am not sure yet if I’ll really buy anything from the Nordstrom Sale. We just moved and unfortunately my boyfriend has become very aware of how many beauty products I own *oops*.

  • Kim July 12, 2019 at 11:42 am

    Mannnnnn I was going to be good, but that shelfie has me alllll in my feels now. Love your recommendations. I was eyeing the MAC lip set and think I’m about sold. Your CT info was very helpful in determining that I can pass.

  • Lyse Davitt July 12, 2019 at 11:43 am

    So hard to narrow it down. The Laura Mercier lipstick/liner set, Charlotte Tilbury pillow talk set, Nest candles, hopefully some new jewelry and tops.

  • sheisinfinite July 12, 2019 at 11:45 am

    top 5- the TF quad, the Barefoot Dreams blanket, the Le Labo travel duo, leggings, and the Bobbi Brown primer duo

  • Jane S July 12, 2019 at 11:46 am

    There’s so many things I want but don’t need… Would love to pick up Baby Bling hair bows, Stokke high chair, Blondo waterproof bootie, Something Navy leopard cardigan, and tempted to get the Charlotte Tilbury eyeshadow palette!

  • Kelsi Gardner July 12, 2019 at 12:06 pm

    Charlotte Tilburry pillowtalk set, simple human mirror, dior addict lip glow set, and charlotte tilburry eyeshadow!

  • Christina July 12, 2019 at 12:27 pm

    I’m not planning on buying much other than to pick up the Charlotte Tilbury Pillowtalk set, the Adidas runners that you purchased, and maybe a set of pajamas or a cardigan. I must save money this year for a big trip later on!

  • Maria Mercedes Ruperti July 12, 2019 at 12:27 pm

    your pictures make me want it all! 🙂 in My wishlist are the Barefoot Dreams Throw Blanket and Cardigan, Charlotte Tilbury palette and Pillow Talk Trio, and something Tom Ford, can’t decide what yet 🙂 Witing for your full review!!

    Thanks for posting your haul! So many great things to check out.

  • Noriko Tsuchiya July 12, 2019 at 12:28 pm

    Usually not a fan of NARS but those Afterglow balms look lovely. I love ministry. Don’t know that I need any more full sized puppies in my collection. Nothing else tempts me, probably not a bad thing

  • Lauren Hazewski July 12, 2019 at 12:29 pm

    I’m definitely getting the Diptyque set and the Ouai set because I love the smell. We’ll see if I get anything else! 🙂

  • Hannah Mary July 12, 2019 at 12:47 pm

    I am for sure planning on getting either the Nars balm duo or Bobbi Brown balm duo. The CT mini palette as well as the Mac palettes also interest me. Then the Tom Ford set with the highlight duo, eyeshadow duo, and lipstick. I at first was going to go for one of the Nars palette, but it looks like it is orgasm, laguna, and the orgasm highlight, just like the Holiday 2018 Orgasm Infatuation palette (which I own).

  • Shelby July 12, 2019 at 12:48 pm

    Oh man that OUAI To Glow set will be mine! I’ve really been wanting to try the scrub and body oil together.
    Also the Tom Ford Soleil Blanc shimmering body oil duo I’ve been wanting to try SO BAD.
    Other than that, stock up on some fall clothes. A pair of Sam Edelman boots have my name on them and I’m needing some dark jeans.

  • Suzanne Mitchell July 12, 2019 at 1:10 pm

    Thank you so much for the Charlotte Tilbury palette swatches! I missed out on the Stars in Your Eyes palette, so I’m excited for this!

  • Aspasia July 12, 2019 at 1:11 pm

    I’m thinking of picking up either the Jo Malone fragrance set or the Diptyque candle set. Also interested in the Tom Ford set with the eyeshadow and lipsticks.

  • lisamhampton July 12, 2019 at 1:11 pm

    I love nordstrom! Dying to buy some killer basics, and as always shoes!

  • Sue July 12, 2019 at 1:32 pm

    I want to try the Byredo mini set, the Charlotte Tilbury mini smoky eye set (swatches look beautiful!), Nars balms, Ouai to Glow set, and I want some shoes!

  • customboxesmart July 12, 2019 at 1:32 pm

    So many great things to check out.

  • katey July 12, 2019 at 1:52 pm

    Always love to snag the diptyque set!

  • Tessa July 12, 2019 at 2:13 pm

    I really really hope I can get my hands on the Charlotte Tilbury eyeshadow palette! The shades are exactly what I love to wear daily. That is the must and other sets I’d love to pick up are the NARS mini lip glows, Dior lip set and a Jo Malone fragrance set. Still have to dive in the scents though!

  • Eve July 12, 2019 at 2:13 pm

    So many get sets!!! I want them all!

  • Eve July 12, 2019 at 2:13 pm

    So many get sets!!! I’d love to try the diptyque candles!

  • Lydia Jones July 12, 2019 at 2:32 pm

    Hi Sabrina!! I need to stock up on my Kiehl’s Creme de Corps. I’m seriously addicted to that stuff.

  • Shelleyeatz July 12, 2019 at 3:13 pm

    I just want the NARS gloss set and the mini balm set. Mayyyyybe the Bobby Brown balm set. Mayyyyyyybe the YSL lip set. Haha not feeling too inspired this year. Btw that Ouai scalp scrub smells DIVINE.

  • J Lee July 12, 2019 at 3:13 pm

    My only must-get is the jumbo size of the Lancer scrub… but obviously I’m open to all the suggestions!! Haha!

  • Paula d July 12, 2019 at 3:32 pm

    Barefoot dreams cardigan, nordstrom pajamas, Barefoot dreams blanket, Charlotte Tilbury eye palette and maybe some sneakers? not sure on last one.

  • CherryQoo SS July 12, 2019 at 3:52 pm

    My wishlist right now, CT lipstick that you just review 🙂 and also their powder
    Tom ford eye quad also always on my radar.
    Diptyque and Ouai are also interest.

  • Makeup Remastered July 12, 2019 at 3:52 pm

    Any Nars or Charlotte Tilbury would make me happ!

  • laura July 12, 2019 at 4:12 pm

    Ooh I’d really love to get the diptyque set; I love collecting candles but have yet to splurge on that brand.

  • Maria Sergeeva July 12, 2019 at 4:12 pm

    What is the name of the lip gloss in the CT pillow talk trio? Is it a new shade? Tnx

    • BeautyLookBook July 12, 2019 at 4:32 pm

      The gloss is called Pillow Talk, everything in the trio is in the “pillow talk” shade.

      • Maria Sergeeva July 13, 2019 at 1:26 am

        Oh, wow. Thank you, Sabrina. That shade is gorgeous. Hope they will make it permanent.

  • riverchild27 July 12, 2019 at 11:44 am

    I don’t plan on buying anything, but that being said I will check for fall/winter sweaters/cardigans. I can’t seem to stop being a cardigan person.

    • BeautyLookBook July 12, 2019 at 4:32 pm

      I really miss wearing sweaters! It’s so hot here most of the year, there’s really only 1, maybe 1.5 months it’s cool enough to wear them 🙁

  • sheisinfinite July 12, 2019 at 11:45 am

    I was going to pass on the TF quad because the old quad looked too metallic/cool but your swatches show that the new one is softer/warmer!

    • BeautyLookBook July 12, 2019 at 4:32 pm

      They’re both neutral-cool to me, the Nordstrom one is slightly warmer because of 2 of the shades, the other two look identical to the original to me.

  • Dora July 12, 2019 at 4:31 pm

    What is the other Diptyque set pictured? Is it another candle & set like last year?

    • BeautyLookBook July 12, 2019 at 4:32 pm

      I bought the 5 piece mini (comes in a long skinny box). There is also a 3 candle + 3 travel perfume set (comes in a bigger flat box). In store they display the full size candles for smelling. Hope this helps! You can filter by brand if you go to the Nordstrom website, click Anniversary Sale Beauty and then filter by brand on the sidebar.

      • Dora July 12, 2019 at 6:23 pm

        Thanks, I see it now on the website. It’s basically the same set last year (which I bought) except with the mimosa candle swapped out for tubereuse candle. Maybe I’ll pickup the 5 candle minis this year!

  • denise July 12, 2019 at 4:32 pm

    Great choices! I got the Ugg slippers, some AG jeans, a couple of cashmere sweaters and a pair of wedge booties. I haven’t jumped into the beauty stuff enough yet to know for certain. But I’ll be very interested to hear if the Nars glosses have any staining effect. I’ve recently fallen back in love with my Orgasm lip balm I bought last summer. I’d love to try the new shade so I might grab that set.

  • Joley July 12, 2019 at 4:32 pm

    I always look forward to your recommendations! I picked up the CT lip set and the nars mini lip balm set. I have the supergoop! Hand cream and spf powder set in my cart. I use the color science powder and love it, but the this deal is cheaper. May get something from barefoot dreams, their stuff is so soft! Have a lot more on my wishlist ha.

  • Anne Capitant July 12, 2019 at 4:50 pm

    My top 5 items (of which I got the first two because budget) are the CT Lip set, the Kiehl’s jumbo Creme de Corps (it’s my go-to moisturizer), the CT eyeshadow palette, a Halogen lightweight cashmere scarf (they’re SOOOO soft!) and the Kate Somerville Daily Exfolikate Foaming Cleanser.

  • JD Bobsicle July 12, 2019 at 4:51 pm

    I want the Diptyque mini set, the barefoot dreams throw for my son, a Mac lip set, and some hair kits! Always get excited for your recommendations for this sale!

  • marciaf July 12, 2019 at 5:30 pm

    I want a new pair of shoes and a few new fall/winter tops.

  • Linda S. July 12, 2019 at 5:50 pm

    I want to something from Barefoot Dreams. I always feel how soft it is when I’m in store just haven’t taken the plunge to buy it.

  • Mimi July 12, 2019 at 5:51 pm

    So many great picks! I am eyeing the Simplehuman Sensor Mirror, the Diptyque candle set, and the NARS Satin Lip Pencil set, the gloss set and the more orange/coral face palette. ❤️

  • jeansco84 July 12, 2019 at 1:51 pm

    I think I need ANOTHER everyday eye palette haha… So I might just get the Charlotte Tilbury Mini Easy Smoky Eye Palette! Trying to hold back on everything else 😆

  • Meghan M July 12, 2019 at 1:52 pm

    Thank you for a great post! I am not buying anything in the sale this year. I really wanted to save my money for Lady Gaga’s make up line launch. But the sneak peaks I saw so far have been very disappointing. Do you have any thoughts on it? Are you planning on purchasing anything from her line?

  • Shelia July 12, 2019 at 6:23 pm

    I’m surprised they don’t have any hourglass exclusives this year! I would pick up the Charlotte Tilbury eyeshadow palette but it’s so similar to the stars in your eyes (which I love). Thanks for sharing your picks!

  • Laura Schmaltz July 12, 2019 at 2:32 pm

    Well my wish list is pretty lengthy, but here are my top 5:
    1- zella maternity leggings
    2- bobbi brown lip tints set
    3- bobbi brown lip and highlighter set
    4- nars mini lip balm duo
    5- barefoot dreams ribbed throw

  • Kayley July 12, 2019 at 2:34 pm

    I probably won’t end up buying 5 things this year; however, I have my eye on the Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Throw because I need a new blanket and it looks cozy!

  • jingorokitty July 12, 2019 at 6:58 pm

    I am passing on the sale this time. The NARS gloss set looks really nice though and a great deal too!

    Interested in the mirror and the le Labo set.

  • greydove July 12, 2019 at 11:54 pm

    I love the cozy throw! My usual Anniversary sale items are anything Hourglass and Donna Karan Cashmere Mist deodorant three pack, but I want to check out the Diptyque and Le Labo items as well now. Thanks for the drawing!

  • Solange July 12, 2019 at 8:08 pm

    Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi Serum
    Tatcha Pearl Eye Treatment

  • Ekaterina July 13, 2019 at 1:11 am

    The only thing I’m eyeing is the TF quad. I’ve missed the NM version, and now I have a chance to hop on the White Suede train, even though it’s a different wagon 🙂

  • Phitnada T. July 12, 2019 at 9:44 pm

    Omg thank you so much for the swatches also. I was undecide about CT eyeshadow palette. And love your recommendation list(thinking about CT lip set, CT eyeshadow palette, Jo malone mini set, le labo 2 spray set 😍👍

  • inkchick July 13, 2019 at 2:11 am

    I don’t have a list of specifics yet (hectic life – don’t ask!), but I’d love to pick up some candles, some cute tops, and SHOES.

  • Odielle July 13, 2019 at 3:10 am

    I haven’t got a NORDSTROM store in the Netherlands, but i love your picks! Adore the Hidden Pleasure Afterglow lip balm from NARS. I work for NARS in the Netherlands, and the Hidden Pleasure color is actually in full size here, it is my fav!

  • roxymisha July 13, 2019 at 4:42 am

    We don’t have Nordstrom in OZ but they ship to us which is great. I like many of your choices and desperately need a good magnifying mirror. The Diptyque candle set is on my list plus the Laura Mercier tres chic palette (into cheeks at present), TF fragrances (several choices), and Barefoot Dreams luxe pyjamas and a robe.

  • MichelleAntonia July 13, 2019 at 7:15 am

    So many great exclusives this year!

  • Jackie Mirek July 13, 2019 at 7:25 am

    I’m so tempted by the Dior!

  • Eda Gur July 13, 2019 at 9:40 am

    1)Bobbi Brown skin care set
    2)Ouai products
    3)Tom Ford quads and lipsticks
    4)Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Kit

  • Rosie July 13, 2019 at 10:01 am

    I love the Nars Afterglow Mini Lip Balm Duo, Kate Spade large shirley leather crossbody bag, Outdoor Voices 7/8 Springs Leggings, Something Navy’s Easy Knit Midi Dress, and Free People Mixed Print Tunic!

  • Rosie July 13, 2019 at 10:01 am

    I adore Chanel’s Soleil Tan de Chanel cream bronzer, NARS Afterglow Lip Balm in Orgasm and Hourglass’s 1.5 MM Mechanical Gel Liner!!

  • Tere July 13, 2019 at 10:22 am

    The only thing I would’ve liked is the Bobbi Brown lip balm set but I recently got the exact same colors.. one GWP and the other half price at Macy’s. Must resist buying the NARS balms! They look so pretty!

  • Meghan M July 13, 2019 at 10:22 am

    Thank you for a great post! I am not planning on buying anything in this sale. I really wanted to save my money for Lady Gaga’s make up line launch but so far the pictures ive seen have been very disappointing. Were you planning on buying anything from her new line? What are your thoughts? Thank you!

  • Marion its_mar_yon July 13, 2019 at 10:41 am

    I’m planning to buy that mirror! Not sure about any beauty stuff though, I don’t wear nude lipsticks and prefer cooler toned stuff so will most likely pass on makeup this year.

  • Mirella July 13, 2019 at 12:34 pm

    I swatched the Laura Mercier eye palette in store before the sale went live for me and was blown away… but I’m a sucker for purples.
    When I was finally able to purchase I impulse bought the Mac eye and face kit as well… but looking at your photo, the colors look darker and more muted than the promos. I think I’ll head to the store to swatch before I decide to keep it!
    I really wanted to love the Bobbi brown eye and face set, but the colors look super light… even for me with pretty fair skin.
    Ugh. I guess I’m a horrible decision maker 😂

  • Anna July 13, 2019 at 5:28 pm

    I am looking into Diptyque of course and lipglosses from Nars looks really exciting and would be good for everyday use, I would definitely think about Charlotte Tilbury sets and actually Tom Ford would be a lovely present to my sister… so definitely a lot of items to think off

  • Petunia July 13, 2019 at 5:47 pm

    Curious what your thoughts are on the YSL lip kit? I have never tried either lip formula. Guess I’ll search on here for your review of the two formulas 🙂

    • Petunia July 13, 2019 at 5:47 pm

      I’m going easy at the sale this year. Replenishing some lingerie and then one goody from the beauty section. I do love the Diptyque candle set. Usually get it every year.

  • Jody Su July 13, 2019 at 8:07 pm

    Thanks for the overview on the picks. Am looking forward to the NARS sets myself.

  • Gail A July 13, 2019 at 10:36 pm

    The rose candles from Voluspa the Nest hand soaps. Kate Spade cross body bag, suoergoop powder sunscreen and Nest candles

  • rachlovespenguins July 13, 2019 at 11:32 pm

    I’m always tempted by the Diptyque sets, but I went a little crazy last fall and haven’t burned through them all yet….so I can probably sit this round out. The Nars balms look nice though. The Ouai set too…. I really like that rose oil.

  • thineownself July 14, 2019 at 12:46 am

    i want the nars lipgloss set but i i haven’t used things from last year (or maybe it was the year before)- i got the nars mini quad of multiples. interested in the MAC lipstick/lipgloss set but again, sigh, am i going to make it through them? am buying a bunch of other summer stuff

  • Lauri Everlove July 14, 2019 at 1:09 am

    I have my eye on the Charlotte Tilbury eyeshadow palette..

  • Melissa July 14, 2019 at 2:52 am

    I had my eye on the charlotte tilbury shadow palette, but after swatches from you – its a pass. I’m currently in the process of swatching all my single shadows and palettes in an attempt to declutter!

    I will be picking up the lancome bi-facil eye makeup remover and the mini nars balm duo. I’m so tempted by the simple human mirror, but I have an older model and it still works perfectly fine….it’ll have to wait.

  • Carolsue July 14, 2019 at 3:44 am

    Here’s what I want:
    1) Tucker + Tate Stripe Eyelet Dress (Baby)
    2) Nike Presto Extreme Sparkle Sneaker (Baby)
    3) Nordstrom Baby Print Footie
    4) Burt’s Bees Baby Dancing Poppy Organic Cotton Romper & Hat Set
    5) Nuna CUDL Baby Carrier

  • saby July 14, 2019 at 8:24 am

    I appreciate the highlights! Charlotte Tilbury’s lip trio seems like a good everyday staple, as well as the Dior lip set. The Tory Burch Black sandals are a nice everyday for the summer months too.

  • misswhoeveryouare July 14, 2019 at 2:06 pm

    thanks for such a thorough post! I really want a dress from halogen and the charlotte tilbury palette :):)

  • Chelsea Crown July 14, 2019 at 2:07 pm

    I love seeing your highlights for the beauty section of the Nsale! I can’t wait to see the rest of your picks. I am looking for 1. Basic long sleeve tops 2. Nars balm duo 3. Cardigans 4. Sweaters 5. Madewell tote. I already made one haul the first day but I really want to go back to get more sweaters and the Madewell transport tote.

    I”m looking for new dress shoes, socks, collared shirts, jeans and a wallet

  • Eileen July 14, 2019 at 8:44 pm

    I must admit, my focus this anniversary sale has been on more practical things like Natori bras, Nordstrom cashmere sweaters, and ugg shoes. So far, the only items I picked up that were even remotely beauty related were five of the Diptyque candle sets. They make wonderful holiday gifts and, of course, I’m keeping a set for myself 🙂 I also picked up some of the Jack Black skin care sets for my sons. I really wasn’t much interested in the cosmetic items this year because I purchased quite a few things from Chanel and feel like I have everything I need or want until the autumn collections come out.

  • Abby Goldberg July 15, 2019 at 2:53 am

    Picked up
    1-CT palette
    2- frame jeans
    3- Chantelle bras & panties

    Still some items sitting in my cart too 🤣

  • Rinaldi Daniela July 15, 2019 at 3:13 am

    3-Nars Motu Tane face palette

  • urbanangel July 15, 2019 at 7:19 am

    Definately looking out for the CT lip set and palette! Maybe something from NARS because I simply love them.

  • Jaki M July 15, 2019 at 3:22 am

    After your blog post, I’m sold on the CT lip set. I also don’t own any CT eye palettes, so I’m going to splurge on that one as well.
    As per usual, I’ll pick up a few of the Halogen cashmere sweaters, since I live in a cold climate and they are perfect for the fall and winter months.
    A new Tory Burch cross body is also on my radar, and possibly some Tory Burch footwear if I can find anything cute in my size 🙂

  • Fat White Cat July 15, 2019 at 10:15 am

    I am trying really hard to not spend so much online this year, but the CT lip set is calling my name…

  • pinksuzanne July 15, 2019 at 10:58 am

  • Valerie Manke July 16, 2019 at 2:21 am

    So much is sold out it’s a bummer. I wanted the NARS Balm duo, the BP cozy sweats, the NARS lip set, the UGG slippers and the soft Nordstrom jammies. Hoping for a restock on some items this weekend, fingers crossed!

  • Megan Hightower July 16, 2019 at 9:47 pm

    You’re making me want the Nars balm duo. I haven’t orders any beauty products. Just ordered clothes and shoes so far. My favorite purchase so far is the Zella Live-In High waist Leggings with Pockets in 7/8 length because they are the perfect length for me at 5’2” and feel thick and substantial. I also ordered a Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Lite Circle Cardigan in Pacific Blue, but it hasn’t shipped yet.

  • Maribel Figueroa July 16, 2019 at 10:54 pm
