The Nordstrom Sale Is Ending Soon — and There Are Still Great Beauty Deals
I might be biased because I’m a beauty writer, but my favorite part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is the beauty department. This year, there are exclusive value sets and big discounts on jumbo-size products, pricey skin care, and tools — including from Dyson and T3. Some of the early deals went fast, but Nordstrom recently dropped a second wave.
I scrolled through all the beauty pages to find the best deals. The sale ends August 9. My advice: If you have your eye on something, act fast. Some of these will sell out.

We checked that our favorite sales are still available and removed any sold-out items. We also added some new deals, including a Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eyeshadow Trio and our Best in Class curling iron from Bio Ionic.
