I don't know about you, but my bank account takes a colossal hit during the summer. So every autumn I spend two or three diligent months of trying to limit my spending in an effort to reverse my summer spending spree. (Keyword here: trying.)
This year I've had more success than usual, but sometimes certain investment opportunities arise that I can't always turn down. Like, for example, Nordstrom's Very Limited Time Sale which is basically double clearance on some of my favorite beauty products. In fact, after doing some super quick math, I realized I could save a whopping $451 on 12 expensive beauty products I never want to be without. Keep scrolling to see the breakdown and shop all of my deeply discounted recommendations. (Remember to hurry, because after October 13th the spell will be broken!)
SHARK
Flexstyle Air Styling & Drying System and Multi-Styler for straight and wavy hair
Believe the hype. If you're looking for a drying and styling system that won't send a panic attack through your bank account, Shark's editor-approved hair tools really are the best option.
Augustine Bader
The eye rejuvenating kit with Tfc8®
Don't get me wrong, $143 is still a significant amount of money to spend on an eye cream and a set of eye patches. ButThis Augustinus Bader combo works so well on my puffy under-eye circles that I'm more than willing to skip it when I can get both for $112 less than usual.
Yves Saint Laurent
Vinyl cream lip paint
I'm obsessed with cinnamon lips for fall, so YSL's velvety cream lipstick in the shade Arcade Chili will be a staple in my bag all season long.
ARMANI Beauty
Neo Nude True-To-Skin Natural Glow Foundation
Celebrities, makeup artists, and beauty editors fawn over this hydrating, light-coverage foundation from Armani. Suffice it to say, I was surprised when I saw it was almost half the price.
Westman Atelier
The Summer Bronze Set
Discover another offer that seems too good to be true. I'm someone who loves dewy, angelic-looking skin, and this trio from Westman Atelier is always in my rotation. You'll get the Liquid Super Loaded Sheer Illuminator Drops in Peau de Soleil, the beloved Baby Cheeks Blush Stick in Dou Dou, and one of my all-time favorite beauty products, the Lit Up Highlight Stick in Nectar.
Dolce Glow by Isabel Alysa
Goccia Di Sole self-tanning moisturizing serum drops for face and body
I'm known for my love of self-tanning products. I absolutely love the look of sun-kissed skin year-round, so fall and winter are when I rely on my favorite formulas the most. Most facial self-tanners surprise me, but these drops from celebrity-loved brand Dolce Glow are one of the *very* few exceptions. The results are beautiful and absolutely no one will suspect that your glow came from a bottle.
Dolce Glow by Isabel Alysa
Luce transparent self-tanning mist
I'm normally a mousse girl, but this self-tanning mist from Dolce Glow recently turned my head. It's a faster and more efficient option if you're short on time and want a quicker application.
Dolce Glow by Isabel Alysa
Dolce Glow Glove
Take it from someone who knows… never try to tan at home without gloves. The mixture will be much better and you won't be left with bright orange palms.
Sisley Paris
Facial Care Set
Sisley Paris is as luxurious as it gets when it comes to beauty products. If you've never been interested in the French brand's skincare collection, let this set on sale be your introduction. (Trust me, you'll never be the same after using Black Rose Skin Infusion Cream, a skin prep staple among celebrity makeup artists.)
Perricone MD
Essential Fx acyl-glutathione eyelid lifting serum
I don't care if you're 25 or 75, you'll love this eyelid lifting serum from Perricone MD. Wrinkles? Where?
WATER
Flip Hair Wrap Towel
I'm a little horrified whenever I meet someone who still uses a regular towel to dry and twist their hair after washing. This cult-favorite wraparound towel from Aquis is not only lightweight and neck-friendly, but it's also made with unique antimicrobial properties while also reducing drying time, strengthening fragile damp strands, and decreasing static and frizz. .
Kiehl's since 1851
Fatigue Cleanser Trio
There are two camps in this world: those who love a body scrub and those who, well, no. I typically fall into the latter category and prefer to exfoliate my skin with a buffing bar like this option from Kiehl's. This particular bar is infused with bran and skin-stripping oats to remove tough skin and dead skin cells while still being gentle enough not to irritate. Grab this three-pack now and you'll be ready for spring.
