Nordstrom understands the beauty of a great deal.
During the department store’s much-awaited Anniversary Sale, hundreds of beauty sets are up for grabs — including exclusives from hardly-ever-on-sale luxury brands like La Mer, Augustinus Bader and Dr. Dennis Gross.
The most anticipated sale event of the year is finally open to the public today, July 12, so if you are not a Nordy Club member, you now have access (woohoo!).
Below, start shopping (or curating your wishlist) with our roundup of the best celebrity-approved beauty buys — but act fast, as the most popular products tend to sell out long before the sale ends on August 3. (Plus, for live updates on all the best deals, be sure to check out our full guide to the annual event.)
La Mer’s products are famously pricey, but stars like Jennifer Lopez, Kate Hudson and Selena Gomez swear they’re worth it.
Right now, Nordstrom’s offering a rare opportunity to bag the luxury line’s signature Crème de La Mer for less, along with several other mini must-haves.
Want to smell like a star? Sofia Richie and Meghan Markle have both cited this mineral, woody Jo Malone London blend as a signature scent.
This bestselling formula does triple duty as makeup remover, cleanser and moisturizer. Equally multitasking stars like Bethenny Frankel rave about the stuff, now available in a jumbo value version exclusively at Nordstrom.
“I am partial to the original one because it makes me feel like I’m in a botanical spa,” Frankel said on TikTok, naming it one of the “expensive” items she deems “worth it.”
Emily Ratajkowski called these pre-packaged peels “the best for exfoliating your skin” in a recent W interview, admitting she’d skipped the skincare step before.
“I’ve noticed a huge improvement in the texture and tonal quality of my skin,” she raved.
If splurging doesn’t scare you, there’s also an unheard-of deal on a set featuring the brand’s SpectraLite FaceWare Pro mask. (It’s like getting peel pads, blurring cream and a lip treatment for free.)
“I would die for it,” DeSorbo raved of the red- and blue light-powered mask in an Amazon Live. “I truly think it is one of the only LED masks I’ve ever used that actually works.”
Pro tip: Sets like this have been among the first to sell out in previous years, so we’d recommend snapping this one up fast.
From famous faces to RB staffers, plenty of beauty experts swear by NuFace. Tay Lautner told us the “super user-friendly” device is one of her “favorite things to use to help lift, plump and smooth [her] skin before an event,” while Kate Hudson raved about the brand to Mindbodygreen.
“When I do the NuFace every day, I feel a huge difference in my skin,” she told the outlet. I was not expecting that because I always think those things feel gimmicky, but they really work.”
Our very own managing editor, Alexandra D’Aluisio, is also a fan: “Nicola Coughlan used the NuFace Trinity+ in a Vogue “Beauty Secrets” video … she even insisted she knew when she ‘went ham’ on the product because her ‘cheekbones were cheekboning’ in certain scenes,” she says. “That was enough to convince me to buy, and I’ve been trying to use it at least three times a week ever since.”
Sabrina Carpenter can do a lot with 15 minutes — but applying her signature blush will only take you a matter of seconds. The star’s long worked with makeup artist Carolina Gonzalez, who told us she applies the blendable formula on the mid-apples of the pop phenom’s cheeks.
“When you start on the cheekbone and go up from there, it gives you more of a lifted and snatched look,” Gonzalez explained.
Love the Longchamp Le Pliage totes that stars and royals like Kate Middleton have carried? In addition to a full-size version, the sale also includes this adorable mini makeup bag.
Plenty of superstars stock up on Supergoop!, from Brooke Shields and Jessica Chastain to Christie Brinkley. (The latter recently told us she swears by the brand’s “easy formulas.”)
The 411 on stars’ favorite face masks? So many stars use 111Skin, it just might be easier to name A-listers who haven’t raved about the brand. Sydney Sweeney, Lady Gaga, Bella Hadid, Jenna Lyons and Priyanka Chopra (to name but a few) have all been linked to the label’s luxe skincare.
RB Style & Shopping Editor Elana Fishman is also impressed with the products, saying of the rose gold mask included in this set, “I slapped on this mask the morning of a video shoot, hoping it’d help me look my best on camera — and boy, did it live up to the hype.”
Le Labo’s smoky Santal 33 scent made our ultimate edit of stars’ signature fragrances. It’s been linked to Justin Bieber, Ryan Reynolds, Alexa Chung and Sophie Turner, while Jodie Comer told the New York Times it even “smells different on each person.”
Score lower prices on HigherDose favorites like this sauna blanket, a fixture in several Goop roundups. Taylor Swift’s longtime makeup artist, Lorrie Turk, even said on Instagram Stories that she’s “addicted” to hers.
Augustinus Bader’s blue-and-gold bottles have popped up all over Hollywood. Eagle-eyed viewers spotted The Rich Cream — included in this set — on Jennifer Aniston’s “Morning Show” glam table in an Instagram Story mirror selfie, while Hailey Bieber told followers she’s gone through multiple bottles of the stuff.
Long before starring in the brand’s advertisements, Martha Stewart discovered Clé de Peau’s luxe skincare and makeup through her longtime makeup artist, Daisy Toye.
Both women have used this set’s Precious Gold Vitality Mask, which Stewart included in a RB Style gift guide in 2023.
Whether you’re hitting the beach or simply adding some shine to an everyday look, this SPF-packed body oil is a favorite among OG Bravo stars. Kyle Richards called it “beautiful” in an Amazon Live, while Bethenny Frankel gave it a positive TikTok review.
“It’s like being in Hawaii or Bali or somewhere super amazing,” the “RHONY” alum raved of the “davoon” scent.
This universally flattering peachy-pink cheek tint has graced famous faces like Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone and Kim Kardashian.
Meghan Markle even shouted it out in her “Suits” days, telling Allure in 2017, “I use it on and off camera because it gives you a nice glow from within.”
Oprah was so impressed with the Glow Drops featured in this set, she became an investor in Barbara Sturm’s brand (in addition to naming them a “Favorite Thing,” of course.)
“I have never done that before. Ever. So, that’s how good the products are,” she told the audience at a Hearst Tower event in 2023.
Intrigued by the Baccarat Rouge scent stars love, but not quite ready to invest in a big bottle? Try out all the brand’s fragrances at once with this adorable trial set, including the famous perfume Kathy Hilton told us she “practically bathes” in.
You won’t need an appointment with in-demand celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Jason Diamond — who’s worked with everyone from the Kardashian-Jenner family to Nikki Glaser and Olivia Culpo — to try his signature InstaFacial.
The buzzy doc bottled his secrets for his “medically-inspired” skincare line, which hardly ever goes on sale.
These deals are nothing to bat an eye at. Brooke Shields is a longtime Grande Cosmetics user, once telling Allure she applies the serum on her famous arches.
And “RHONY” alum Luann de Lesseps swears by the lash version, too.
“It keeps my brows and eyelashes looking thicker and healthier,” she told E!. “One of my [faves]!”
Courteney Cox told Harper’s Bazaar she “always uses” this luxe eucalyptus-scented body wash.
Diptyque is right at home in A-lister abodes. The brand’s Figuiqer and Tuberose scents have popped up in the background of Meghan Markle’s old social media videos, and LeBron James is a fan of the Baies scent.
From Kim Kardashian to Jennifer Lopez to self-proclaimed “Olaplex nut” Billie Eilish, plenty of A-listers (and their hairstylists) organically swear by Olaplex. And Jenna Lyons and Nicola Coughlan are such big fans, they starred in a recent campaign.
“I think so many celebrities love Olaplex because they see firsthand the immediate results after using the products,” Tracey Cunningham, celebrity colorist and Olaplex ambassador, told RB Style.
“Using a bond-building haircare line like Olaplex … is really appealing to celebrities who need products that can repair visible damage and keep their hair looking healthy.”
In her “Suits” era, Meghan Markle told Beauty Banter her on-set hairstylist used this texturizing spray to “add a little bounce” to her signature blowout.
Scarlett Johansson’s skincare line is a major favorite among RB staffers. And right now, the brand’s hero product — designed to brighten, plump and hydrate — is available for a steal.
“I use it morning and night; this is like my holy grail product,” the actress raved on Instagram this year, saying it was among her on-set must-haves while shooting “Jurassic World Rebirth.”
“RHONY” star Jessel Taank told RB Style her “simplest skincare routine comprises of U Beauty’s Resurfacing Compound and Super Hydrator, while self-proclaimed “lip balm addict” Nicky Hilton swears by the brand’s Plasma Lip Compound.
“It plumps and hydrates and now comes in colors,” she told us in 2023.
Michelle Monaghan even starred in the brand’s campaign this March, telling People: “I feel like the Resurfacing Compound tackles all of those sorts of problem spots and problem areas as well as the hormonal acne that I get.”
Here comes the sun — and the sunless tanner deals. Ashley Graham’s a longtime fan-turned-ambassador of St. Tropez, once telling British Vogue it’s “such an iconic brand” and provides “that extra glow for photo shoots.”
