2020 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Beauty Buys

The 2020 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is happening now and today I’m sharing my beauty favorites.

Nordstrom cardmembers currently have early access to shop the sale first, so the higher the tier the earlier you can shop. If you’re a cardmember and unsure when you can shop, log in to your Nordstrom account, then click “Your Account” and “The Nordy Club” to see your shop date. You may also see it in your homepage after you log in to your account.

If you’re not able to shop the sale right now, don’t worry! They 2020 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has a new option where everyone can preview the sale items and add to their wish list to shop on their date. The public sale opens on on August 19.

I wrote a huge post all about the 2020 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale here. It explains the sale in more detail in case you want to know more about it. I also shared a bunch of my favorites, including items I already own on sale, similar items I own on sale, and what I personally plan to purchase.

Below I’m highlighting the best 2020 Nordstrom Anniversary beauty buys. As someone who used to work in the skin care industry, the beauty section of the 2020 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is the best, which is why it’s getting its own special post.

Almost all of these 2020 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale beauty items I already own and use daily.

2020 Nordstrom Anniversary Beauty Buys

Sunday Riley Good Genes Set

There are few skin care brands where I like multiple products. I love Sunday Riley, and Good Genes is my favorite product from them. I use it at night when my skin is problematic; it smooths overnight for a result you can actually see the next morning.

Makeup Brush Set

If you’re in need of new makeup brushes for the face, then this is my pick! I love the pink and rose gold. A matching eye brush set is part of the sale, too.

Oribe Texturizing Spray Set

Oribe Texturizing Spray is a cult favorite. This is what I use on my hair for texture and grip without any crunch. If you’ve been wanting to try Oribe, you can get this spray along with their dry shampoo as a value set.

ghd Flat Iron

I use this exact ghd flat iron on my hair to get my messy waves. (See the video tutorial here!) This flat iron heats up in 20 seconds and used special technology to adjust the heat as you go down your hair to prevent burning.

Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lip Set

Pillow Talk is my favorite nude lipstick shade. It accentuates the natural pink undertones in lips to provide a subtle pop of color. This set includes a matching lip liner and gloss (which I also have and love).

Nécessaire Body Duo

I’m a sucker for good packaging, and have been curious about Nécessaire. This body wash and lotion duo is on my wish list to purchase.

Drybar Detox Dry Shampoo

No matter how many other dry shampoos I try, this dry shampoo from Drybar stays my favorite. (Although I haven’t tried the Oribe one in the set above!) It absorbs grease and adds volume at the same time. Lots of dry shampoos just remove grease, so I like that this is a 2-in-1 product.

Lancer The Polish

If you’re going to invest in one beauty item from the 2020 Nordstrom Sale, buy this. I’ve been using The Polish for over a year and a half now. It’s a gentle daily exfoliant that’s changed the texture of my skin for the better. My tube has lasted me over a year; a little goes a long way.

Jo Malone Body & Hand Wash in Wood Sage & Sea Salt

I have this scent as a perfume. It’s nice and subtle, so I’m going to pick up this jumbo hand soap for our guest bath; especially with so much hand washing this year.

PMD Facial Cleansing Device

I haven’t personally tried the PMD cleansing device, but have a couple of friends who like it. Since salons are still closed, I’m thinking of purchasing this for a deeper clean until I can see my esthetician.

Dr. Dennis Gross Peel Pads

Every time I share these peel pads on Instagram, multiple people reply that they love them, too. They’re basically a facial in a box! I use these 1-2 times a week.

Charlotte Tilbury Mascara Set

Charlotte Tilbury Legendary Lashes is my favorite mascara. It makes lashes super black and thick without clumping. It’s what I use daily. This set comes with two cream shadows (I also have these); a nice little set to play up your eyes.
