ICYMI: Nordstrom’s highly anticipated Half Yearly Sale is happening now—and it’s good (that’s coming from someone who’s tried thousands of products over the past decade). Many of my time-honored beauty staples are up to 60 percent off—including covetable hair, skin, and body care from Charlotte Tilbury, Tom Ford, and Dyson. As with all good things, Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly sale will come to an end—and soon. Join me in snagging stellar beauty goodies before they return to full price on January 6.
Best Nordstrom Skin Care Sales:
Charlotte Tilbury Magic Skin Gift Set
One of the best aspects of shopping beauty products at Nordstrom? The retailer’s assortment of exclusive skin care sets—like this one from celebrity-used Charlotte Tilbury. I love layering these moisture-magnetizing skin-plumping formulas—a serum and a moisturizer—which the likes of Reese Witherspoon wore on the red carpet earlier this year.
Malin + Goetz Foaming Cream Cleanser
Malin + Goetz
Malin + Goetz is one of those brands you’ll spot at boutique hotels, luxury spas, and in your coolest friend’s medicine cabinet. Its formulas, including this softening creamy cleanser, are as effective as they are trendy. My fiancé and I have opposite skin types (oily and dry, respectively), yet we both swear by this face wash, which thoroughly cleanses without overdrying, thanks to moisturizing ingredients like jojoba oil.
Best Nordstrom Skin Care Tool Sales:
Theraface Pro Set
Amazon
If choosing among zillions of anti-aging skin care gadgets feels overwhelming, simplify your search with this multi-functional tool. The device comes with interchangeable heads, including one for deep cleaning and another that lifts sagging skin via microcurrent.

If you’ve never dermaplaned, I implore you to buy this beginner-friendly tool. In addition to sloughing dead, dull skin from the surface to reveal seal-like smoothness, it removes pesky peach fuzz for flawless foundation application. FWIW, my 71-year-old mom and twin sister are equally fond of this magical skin-smoothing wand.
Best Nordstrom Body Care Sales:
Alpha-H Micro-Cleanse Super Scrub
Alpha-H has yet to disappoint me, particularly in terms of its exfoliating products. I’ve yet to try this particular body scrub; that said, its primary ingredient, glycolic acid, is a fast-track to glowing skin. Additionally, the formula features physical exfoliants that double down on its skin-softening power.
Tom Ford Soleil Neige Shimmering Body Oil

This shimmering, luxurious elixir is my secret to glowing, sunskissed skin year-round. When applied to the decolleté, legs, and collarbones, it delivers red carpet-worthy radiance and wafts a subtle coconut scent that’s garnered compliments numerous times I’ve worn it.
Best Nordstrom Makeup Sales:
Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate Soft Radiance Foundation SPF 50
Nordstrom
Foundation is hardly one-size-fits-all, but this one comes pretty darn close. Breathable and skinlike in feel and finish, it wears beautifully throughout the day without caking or settling into fine lines. Plus, it contains a healthy dose of anti-aging UV protection via SPF 50.
Too Faced Lip Injection Plumping Lip Liner and Gloss
I’ve been using lip-plumping glosses since my tweens, and Too Faced’s formulas are unequivocally the best. Expect a fuller, more youthful-looking pout in minutes, with results that last hours beyond application. This Nordstrom-exclusive set includes my favorite plumping liner, too.
Best Nordstrom Hair Care Sales:
T3 Featherweight StyleMax Dryer

I’d blindly buy anything Amal Clooney has used to style her hair—including this shine-inducing hair dryer. In fact, I’ve tried this particular tool and can confirm it’s lightweight, smoothing, and among the most effective of its kind.
Dyson Supersonic Nural Hair Dryer
Nordstrom
My only regret about snagging this rarely on sale hair dryer a few years ago? Gifting it to my sister. Her hair has since looked shiner than ever and she swears the tool cuts her styling routine in half. Snap it up while you can—Dyson deals have sell-out risk written all over them.
