nordstrom anniversary 2021 picks

I worked at Nordstrom in San Francisco for two years, and I know how exciting, hectic, and overwhelming the Anniversary sale can get. There are some great deals and some deals you can definitely miss. However, some beauty deals are pretty good and since the sale ends on August 8th, grab these picks while you can.

Briogeo Healthy Hair Wonders Set 

Briogeo is a line of hair products for every type of hair texture. You get some of Briogeo’s best-selling products in the kit, including their holy grail product, Don’t Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask. If you haven’t tried Briogeo yet, this is an introduction to the brand that includes travel-friendly sizes. You get a lot of bang for your buck, and why not treat yourself to a salon day!

What’s included? 

Don’t Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask (Full size, 8 oz) 

Farewell Frizz Rosarco Milk Leave-In Conditioning Spray (Full size, 5 oz)

Be Gentle, Be Kind Avocado + Kiwi Mega Moisture Superfood Hair Mask (Travel size, 2 oz)  

Don’t Despair, Repair! Strengthening Treatment Oil (Travel size, 0.23 oz)

Herbivore Botanicals Soak & Soften Set 

Make it a spa day on top of that salon day! Pour your drink of choice into a glass, a bubbly Rosé, and slip into a luxurious bath. Herbivore Botanicals’ kit is a great deal at $35, and why not treat yourself to some TLC. A great weekend is judged by how many hours you spent in the bathroom pampering yourself after all. With the scent of ylang-ylang, vanilla, coconut, and rose filling the tub, your small apartment will turn into an oasis. 

What’s included?

Coco Rose Coconut Body Polish (Full size, 8 oz) 

Coconut Bath Soak (Mini, 4 oz)

Calm Bath Salts (Mini, 4 oz) 

Gucci Bloom Nettare di Fiori Eau de Parfum Intense Set

I enjoy smoky, intense, sensual scents for nighttime. I love most Gucci perfumes, and the Bloom collection is lovely with different variations of the Bloom fragrance. Bloom Nettare is the most sensual scent within the Bloom collection. With the addition of ginger, rose, tuberose, patchouli, musks, and osmanthus, Nettare is the perfect scent to wear on the times you do venture out for a night out. I can’t imagine a sexier fragrance, and this kit gives you one for the vanity and one to throw in your purse when you’re heading out. 

What’s included?

Eau de Parfum Intense (Full, 3.3 oz)

Edu de Parfum Intense Rollerball (0.025 oz) 

Nars Pleasure Trip Cheek Palette 

I love Nars. Almost every single thing has been a hit and gets frequent use in my drawer. I love their tinted moisturizer, concealers, and blushes. Lately, I have been using their larger palettes since you can create a whole face look with one. This kit contours and highlights to give you a sunkissed glow. The addition of blush is on trend with the bronzed radiant glow that you see everywhere. The rose and bronze shades create a summer sculpted face that is just * chef kiss*. 

What’s included?

Wanderlust (0.12 oz) 

Lucky Star (0.12 oz)

Wild at Heart (0.24 oz) 

Bumble and bumble. Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Set 

There are a lot of good picks from Bumble and bumble. Some of the lines within the brand are totally worth the salon price tag, and their Hairdresser’s Invisible line is one of my favorites. I’ve talked about hair oil before in a previous post. The primer is one of the best hair primers that I have tried for thick hair. It protects my hair during heat styling, but it is a bit easy to go overboard. This would last you a good amount and provides travel sizes for the primer and hair mask. Good hair days lay ahead. 

What’s included?

Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Heat/UV Protective Primer (Full size, 8.5 oz)

Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Heat/UV Protective Primer (Travel size, 2 oz)

Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Mask (Travel size, 2 oz)
