It’s free to join the Beauty Insider program, so everyone can get at least 10% off on their purchases!

My cart is FULL this year and I’m trying to edit it down, but here’s what I am stocking up on:

  • Tatcha Water Cream – I am almost out and I loved it, so I’m repurchasing the value size!
  • Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Peel – I started these last year and I really like them so I’m repurchasing a few more. They are pricey but I think they work really well to even out my skin texture.
  • Dior Show Mascara – This has been my go to mascara for years. I keep coming back to it because its great! I get great volume and length and I like both the brush and formula.

And here’s what I’m interested to try!

  • Tatcha Brightening Duo – A friend recommended the Vitamin C serum and since the duo is only a little bit more than the Vitamin C alone, I am thinking about getting this, even though it is pricey.
  • Drunk Elephant C-Firma Day Serum – However, I’ve also heard great things about Drunk Elephant so I’m also curious to try this one since so many people love it.
  • Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream – I am really starting to notice that my skin is needing a bit more help to diminish fine lines. I love all of the DE stuff I’ve tried, so I’ve got this in my basket.

July 10th Updated the blog post with some more info on the gifts and requirements for purchase!

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts Friday, July 20! Early Access for card holders is already happening and there have been a ton of great deals that have already sold out. In years past, they have restocked everything for the start of the public sale, but quantities are limited for popular items and stuff will sell out!

There are TONS of beauty exclusives and gift with purchase deals while the Anniversary Sale event is happening and when the sale is over, the deals are gone!

Here’s just a small sampling of which brands are participating. The “big three”: Estee Lauder, Clinique, Lancome, plus Charlotte Tilbury, Bobbi Brown, Jo Malone, La Mer and many more. In total, there are over 140 different gift with purchase offers!

Of the Beauty Exclusives, I think the Tom Ford eye and lip set will sell out, the Urban Decay Naked2 Basics set looks good and the Living Proof shampoo set looks to be a great value.
