The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has opened, offering shoppers significant discounts on a variety of beauty products. This annual event features exclusive sets and markdowns on items endorsed by celebrities, including makeup, skincare, fragrance, and hair care.
Among the sale's highlights are beauty products that have received celebrity attention. Jo Malone London's woodsy fragrance, cited by Sofia Richie Grainge and Meghan Markle as a signature scent, is available. Grainge has described the scent as making her feel "safe and calm and just beach-y and chill."
Skincare products are also featured prominently. Cooling cryo masks, favored by Anne Hathaway and Sydney Sweeney for their de-puffing and brightening effects, are part of the sale. Hathaway has shared photos using the masks, and Sweeney noted their effectiveness to People magazine. The Face Mask Discovery Set from the same plastic surgeon-founded brand is also available.
Makeup items include Nars' Orgasm blush, a favorite of Meghan Markle during her "Suits" days, who said it provides a "nice glow from within." While Markle used the powder version, a stick formulation is also offered, noted as being easier for on-the-go application. This version has also been linked to Emma Stone and Kim Kardashian.
Eye and lip products from various brands are also discounted. Stila's liquid eyeshadows, used by Martha Stewart as eyeshadow and even lip gloss, are featured. Stewart reportedly purchased every color, finding them effective for lip application. The accompanying mascara in one set is praised for its silky-smooth texture and buildable quality.
High-end haircare and body products are also included. Dyson's hair styling tools, which rarely go on sale, are offered at a significant discount. These tools have been endorsed by stars such as Paige DeSorbo and Khloé Kardashian.
Salt & Stone's shower gel, called "the best" by Bethenny Frankel, is available. Kendall Jenner's 818 Tequila company also partnered with the body care brand this year, suggesting a connection.
Skincare treatments from brands like Dr. Dennis Gross, known for its peel pads, are also part of the sale. Emily Ratajkowski reported a "huge improvement in the texture and tonal quality of my skin" from these pads, with Ciara Miller and Sydney Sweeney also mentioning the brand.
Sunscreen from Supergoop!, specifically the Unseen Sunscreen, is highlighted. This clear SPF is a favorite among celebrities and editors, including Jessica Chastain and Christie Brinkley, and was even featured in Sabrina Carpenter's "Espresso" music video.
Luxury skincare brands are also represented. La Mer's cult-favorite cream, known for its sea kelp-derived ingredients, is part of the markdowns, a brand associated with Jennifer Lopez, Kate Hudson, and Selena Gomez. Osea's Undaria Algae Body Oil, praised by Brittany Mahomes as "the best ever" for its skin benefits, is also available.
Victoria Beckham's eyeliners, noted for their longevity, are featured in the sale. She has previously stated that the product sells quickly due to its lasting formula.
Serums and lip products also see discounts. Katie Holmes uses Dr. Barbara Sturm's hyaluronic acid serum, which contains multiple molecular weights for hydration and wrinkle reduction. Clinique's Black Honey lipstick, a '90s favorite of Julia Roberts, Liv Tyler, and Kate Moss, and a more recent favorite, is also available.
Fragrance and complete makeup sets round out the offerings. A vanilla perfume from a brand that Martha Stewart called "exquisite" is featured. Additionally, Westman Atelier's makeup sets, including a hydrating matte lipstick, gloss, and liner, are available. These have been used by stars like Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Aniston. Augustinus Bader's The Cream, a favorite of aesthetician Lord Gavin McLeod-Valentine, who discovered the brand through Kim Kardashian, is also included in a set, lauded for providing "rested, settled, vital present energy."
