Looking for free shipping and a flexible return policy with access to an array of beauty brands, Nordstrom is the place to shop! While Sephora and Ulta are beauty retailers, the charm of Nordstrom is that you have access to so many products so while searching for beauty finds, their shoe section, accessories and clothing feature great buys as well. I already did a Sephora Sale suggestion list so I wanted to feature brands and sets that are not available there. Here are a few of the products that I feel are worth the buy. Nordstrom is currently featuring a multitude of Gift With Purchase options and an assortment of 5 samples with purchase.
Herbivore Botanicals Jade Facial Roller Kit
The concept of a Jade roller has intrigued me for a while now and I really want to learn the art of facial massage. I feel like I loose so much weight after I get a facial but in truth, it is just the drainage of the lympathic system. The Herbivore Botanicals Jade Roller caught my eye on instagram and it has been on my wishlist ever since. It retails for $25 so I was waiting to find a good deal for it and I found this kit. The Lapis oil is their highly rated clarifying oil which is the other product featured. It is full sized and retails for $72 so for this duo, the value is a great deal.
Space NK Apothecary Holiday Heroes Silver Edition Collection
This kit features: By Terry Baume de Rose Crystalline Mini (0.08 oz.), Kevyn Aucoin Beauty The Volume Mascara, EVE LOM Cleanser (1.7 oz.), Sunday Riley Good Genes Treatment (0.5 oz.), Travel-size Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray (2.55 oz.), Smith & Cult Glass Souls Nail Lacquer (0.5 oz.), Lipstick Queen Medieval Lipstick (0.12 oz.) and a Luxe Silver Cosmetic Bag.
This set would surely please any beauty lover as it is features a wonderful assortment of products from different categories in beauty. I am currently obsessed with Good Genes and the size that is included is quite generous.
Mac Snow Ball Prep + Prime Fix+ Kit
I am not even sure as to how many times I have featured Fix+ over on my Instagram account because of how much I love it and utilize it almost every time I do my makeup. It helps really minimize the appearance of foundation build up and make it mesh with your skin for a more flawless result. This kit features 3 minis which retail for $12 on their own but this whole set is for $20. The scents featured are: Rose, Lavender, and Coconut. I already have backups for Rose and Coconut and both are great! Another tip is to keep a look out for other products from the Mac Snow Ball Holiday Collection, I have seen Whisper of Gilt come in and out of stock and picked it up recently myself!
Charlotte Tilbury Eye Essentials Duo
I recently purchased the 2016 Best of Beauty Box from Allure on sale and it had the Rock N Kohl in Bedroom Black which is featured in this duo as a full sized product. The eyeliner goes on so smoothly and the pigmentation is very dark. Charlotte Tilbury is a brand not available at Sephora or Ulta so I would take a look at the different offerings that Nordstrom has. While this duo would be great for a stocking stuffer, there are larger kits that are available as well.
Yves Saint Laurent Makeup Essentials Set
This set retails for $68 and features: Mascara Volume Effect Faux Cils in #1 High Intensity Black (0.2 oz.), Touche Eclat Luminizing Pen in #2 Luminous Ivory (0.08 oz.), Top Secrets Instant Makeup Remover (0.34 oz.), Top Secrets Instant Moisture Glow (0.17 oz.) and a Red Pouch.
Hands down, the pouch is what caught my eye. With holiday gifts, I am always looking for a bit extra in packaging because I do feel that elevates the entire gift and makes it more “presentable”.
Lancome Holiday Beauty Box Purchase with Any Lancome Purchase
Usually when there is a bonus buy with purchase, there is a set threshold you must meet but this Lancome set is offered for $63.50 with any purchase and has a value of $350. I added it to my cart alongside the travel Bi-Facial makeup remover for $15 to see if it would work and it did. An extra bonus is that Nordstrom is offering a gift with purchase for any $75 Lancome purchase so in addition to all those products, they are offering deluxe samples of: Génifique Youth Activating Eye Cream, Génifique Youth Activating Concentrate, Tonique Confort Toner, Rénergie Lift Multi-Action Night Cream and Absolue Permium ßx Replenishing Cream. The details of the two options of the kits being offered are as follows.
