It's that time of the year again! The sale season has kicked off with Nordstrom's Holiday Sale, offering a selection of majorly discounted beauty items you'll want to grab before they disappear again. As a Seattle native (the home of Nordstrom), lover of all this beauty, and an avid shopper, I've come up with a list of 15+ products I'm planning on grabbing for myself and my loved ones during Nordstrom's Holiday Sale. If you're looking for a little inspiration to get shopping (it's never too early to start on those holiday presents, even if they're just for you), here's everything I have my eye on. Cheers to great beauty products for less!
Read on to find out which discounted beauty products have already landed in my basket!
This retinol-infused dark-spot corrector is the perfect way to upgrade your skincare routine for smooth, even-toned skin before the year comes to an end. It uses micro-encapsulated retinol, vitamin C, and brightening peptides to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
If you're not obsessed yet with this micro-resurfacing treatment, you should be! It uses ultra-fine aluminum oxide crystals to exfoliate the skin; combating fine lines and wrinkles. It also uses a calming blend of green tea and shea butter so your skin can feel extra refreshed and nourished.
I'm finishing this year strong by incorporating a serum into my skincare routine. This one by Lancôme gets the job done by visibly improving my skin's texture, radiance, tone evenness, and plumpness. For all my vitamin C lovers out there, this serum uses vitamin C to brighten and smooth the skin.
This deep-cleaning, black charcoal mask by Woods Copenhagen has been the answer to all my skincare prayers! Crafted from a powerful blend of natural and active ingredients, this mask effectively absorbs toxins and oils for healthier, brighter skin.
If you know me, then you know I've always been a fan of Kiehl's skincare line (especially its cleansing masks). This one is crafted from a combination of three different powerful clays and helps to absorb excess oil and detoxify the skin without drying it out. It also targets clogged pores and blackheads!
This limited-edition set features three travel-size version of AllSaint's bestselling fragrances: Sunset Riot, Flora Motis, and Concrete Rain. All three are unisex and contain woodsy and floral notes ideal for everyday wear. I'm planning on giving this one as a gift (but also secretly hoping to receive it).
I've heard so many amazing things about Skylar's clean approach to beauty since their launch in 2017, and I'm so excited to see how many of the eau de parfums are being included in this holiday sale! My favorite has to be the Vanilla Sky scent with sweet and comforting notes of caramelized cedar, pure vanilla, and cappuccino. Yum!
Lately, I've been on a bit of a Lake & Sky kick! This one gives me all the clean and crisp notes I love with just a hint of musk to warm up the fragrance. It's woody and aromatic with notes of ozonic accord, amberwood, and white musk. I'll be wearing this one as my go-to day-to-night scent well into the new year.
This unisex perfume brings all the warmth and spicy notes that I love to wear in the cooler months. Blended from the key notes of fresh cyprus, cedarwood, and incense for a lightly smoky finish; this scent fragrance is a huge win for anyone looking for an eau de parfum with a little spice and a lot of class.
The last fragrance that I know will be landing in my shopping cart is Maison Margiela's cozy and sweet eau de parfum, Coffee Break. Wearing this feels like a rainy afternoon spent at a coffee shop with your favorite book. Its notes of coffee accord, lavender, and milk mouse accord, and sandalwood essence will leave you with a delightfully familiar fragrance you'll love.
Apotheke's Signature Candle in White Vetiver is exactly what I would imagine a snowy winter day spent in Aspen to be like. It's a clean and warm scent defined by notes of cashmere, eucalyptus, and lilac blended with the earthier base notes of vetiver, sandalwood, and amber. In other words, I'll be stocking up on this one asap.
Here's a candle for all fans of woody and spicy fragrances. This Apotheke candle is the epitome of them both; with notes of red tea, bergamot, patchouly, incense, and musk! I love how bold and sexy its fragrance is; perfect to burn during a night in with a glass of wine.
Next up, another AllSaints fragrance that's made it to my Nordstrom holiday savings wish list. This is the candle version of its eau de parfum, Sunset Riot! This one is floral and woody; with pink pepper, orange flower, and cedarwood. It also comes in a super-chic concrete vessel that would complement any home.
Sound the alarms: Replica's best-selling fragrance, By the Fireplace, has both its eau de parfum and candle included in this sale! It's accurately named; as this candle uses chestnut accord, pink pepper, peru balsam, and orange flower petals to recreate and cozy evening spent in front of a fire with your loved ones. How amazing is that?
The last one I have to share is Apotheke's Saffron Vanilla candle. It's floral, warm, and spicy with a fantastic blend of vetiver, patchouli, vanilla, lavender, and bergamot. It's also a seasonal scent, so hurry and add this to your cart before it sells out again for the year (and I promise you—it will!).
Last up: the beauty tools! While there aren't many included in this sale, there's a couple that definitely caught my eye. Midnight Paloma's Rose Quartz Facial Roller will help contour and reduce facial puffiness while also promoting lymphatic drainage and combating the appearance of pesky pores and undereye circles.
Crafted from substantial brass, this safety razor works with standard safety blades to provide a smooth shave by minimizing skin irritation and ingrown hairs (say goodbye to razor burn!) The set includes one razor and blade and is free of fragrances, oil, silicones, or phthalates.
