25 Nordstrom's Anniversary Beauty Sales That May Make You Max Out Your Credit Card

Every editorial product is independently selected by our editors. If you buy something through our links, we may earn commission.

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale only comes once a year, so we'll excuse you if you go a little crazy. Since department stores don't often include beauty products in their big blowouts, this is one of the only times each year that us beauty junkies can join in the fashion girls' fun. And while many think of this as their yearly chance to nab prestige products at affordable prices, there are also tons of low-cost cult products available at even better prices than usual. Basically, this is beauty heaven and we want everything.

But like all highly anticipated shopping events, this sh*t can be daunting. It's always a good idea to know what's out there before you shop. From your head to your toes and all of the hair and skin in between, there are so many beauty categories to sift through. So here are our top five picks from the Nordstrom beauty sale for each of the following categories: hair, skin, makeup, body, and perfume/home fragrances.

Nordstrom Rewards members can take advantage of the deals now, but the rest of us will have to wait until July 21. The sale lasts until Aug. 6, but as we know, products go fast, so it's best to shop ASAP. Let's go!

If you straighten your hair every day, you need a high-performance, fast, ceramic tool like the GHD Gold 1-Inch Styler ($133, originally $199). This straightener works to lock in moisture as it works. It also doesn't hurt that this sleek design is ridiculously sexy and has shimmering gold accents.
