    Call me a hater, but in years past, I’ve found the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale to be, kind of, sort of, maybe a bit… lackluster. It’s always the same brands, sometimes even the same products, that get the Big Time discounts. But for 2026, well, we're all in for a treat. I spent my morning scrolling the early deals selection—the official sale kicks off on July 18 and runs through August 9—and found myself genuinely mind-blown-jaw-on-the-floor-shocked at how many of my favorite luxury beauty brands were all-in on this annual sale in a BIG way.

    My exosome-powered Angelia Caglia Cell Forte Serum, which I swear changed my skin’s tone, texture, and fine lines, is more than $200 off (!!), and makeup kits from Westman Atelier are available for a mere fraction of the price. And that’s just the start. I spent the past couple of hours combing through the hundreds of skin, hair, makeup, and home fragrance brands participating in the sale to find the deals and discounts that are actually worth your money. Shop my favorite early beauty deals from the 2026 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale below.

    Signature Hand Soap Pair - Ambre Santal $76 Value

    L'AVANT Collective
    Signature Hand Soap Pair - Ambre Santal (Was $76)
    $50
    SHOP NOW

    Aside from Salt Stone, L'Avant has the most real estate in my home. The brand's hand soap has crazy strong sillage, and with just one pump, my bathroom turns into a spa oasis. While the soothing, luxe smell is definitely the biggest plus, the formula itself is hydrating and nourishing.

    Gold Lust Set $162 Value

    Oribe
    Gold Lust Set (Was $162)
    $109
    SHOP NOW

    With a Gold Lust Shampoo, Conditioner, and travel-sized duo, scooping up this set on sale will save you $53 (!!). I personally love to have a TSA-approved set on hand for summer traveling, so rest assured this quad is already in my cart.

    Cashmere Mist Deodorant Trio Set $96 Value

    Donna Karan New York
    Cashmere Mist Deodorant Trio Set (Was $96)
    $72
    SHOP NOW

    My mom wore Donna Karan Cashmere Mist deodorant throughout my childhood. The soft, yummy scent of amber, sandalwood, and lily of the valley is not just nostalgic, it puts my nervous system back into homeostasis. It’s definitely one of my favorites from the fine fragrance deodorant boom.

    Effortless Eyes Caviar Stick Eye Shadow Trio Set $102 Value

    Laura Mercier
    Effortless Eyes Caviar Stick Eye Shadow Trio Set (Was $102)
    $60
    SHOP NOW

    You won’t catch me spending any more than two minutes on an eyeshadow look—especially in the summer. That’s where these Caviar sticks swoop in. I scribble, blend out harsh lines with my fingers, and I’m good to go.

    Wood Sage amp;amp; Sea Salt Home amp;amp; Away Gift Set $262 Value

    Jo Malone London
    Wood Sage Sea Salt Home Away Gift Set (Was $262)
    $175
    SHOP NOW

    Care to smell like Meghan Markle? Supposedly, she’s a fan of this Jo Malone scent, which is a woody, aquatic blend that’s reminiscent of standing on cliffs above a salty ocean. It always reminds me of sailing, Rhode Island, and Boat-kins. Bonus: it’s almost $100 off during the sale.

    Grapefruit amp;amp; Bamboo Reed Diffuser Duo Set $130 Value

    NEST New York
    Grapefruit Bamboo Reed Diffuser Duo Set (Was $130)
    $78
    SHOP NOW

    I recently moved into a new apartment, and curating a signature scent for my space is top priority. I’ve been a Moroccan Amber devotee for the past decade (you must try it), but this bright and fruity home scent is quickly becoming a top contender—especially during the summer.

    Perfect Hair Dayamp;trade; Dry Shampoo Duo $66 Value

    Living Proof
    Perfect Hair Day™ Dry Shampoo Duo (Was $66)
    $44
    SHOP NOW

    As a dry shampoo connoisseur, I can confidently say that Living Proof is in the top three dry shampoos on the market—full stop. Rather than leaving gritty, tacky buildup on my roots, I feel like it genuinely cleanses the oil and adds incredible volume. even, for fine hair like mine.

    The Return Eye Concentrate Duo $296 Value

    U Beauty
    The Return Eye Concentrate Duo (Was $296)
    $208
    SHOP NOW

    I’ve waxed poetic about U Beauty many times before. While a lot of the products cycle in and out of my routine, this is a constant. It brightens my dark circles (a task no other eye cream could handle), hydrates, and doesn’t irritate my sensitive eyes. So why not stock up on a discount?

    Cell Forte Serum With Biomscamp;trade; Duo $650 Value

    Angela Caglia
    Cell Forte Serum With Biomsc Duo (Was $650)
    $435
    SHOP NOW

    I know, I know—this is a pricy one. While I normally wouldn’t recommend a product this expensive, I have to say that it made such a drastic difference in my skin that I’m able to justify it. If you read my rave review and have been dying to try it, you might as well jump on the chance to get nearly $200 off.

    8-Inch Sensor Rechargeable Tabletop Mirror $200 Value

    simplehuman
    8-Inch Sensor Rechargeable Tabletop Mirror (Was $200)
    $150
    SHOP NOW

    My 56-year-old mom is constantly complaining when we go away for a weekend that she can’t see well enough to do her makeup. I got her this magnifying mirror last month, and it was a huge win. It’s compact enough for travel and lights up, which is a win-win.

    Essential Cleanser Duo $160 Value

    Dr. Barbara Sturm
    Essential Cleanser Duo (Was $160)
    $95
    SHOP NOW

    After a day at the beach—coated in all the sweat and sunscreen that comes with it—nothing feels better than giving my face a foaming cleanse in the shower. This is my favorite guy for the job—it smells just like a spa, leaves my skin feeling extra clean (but not stripped), and wakes me up a bit so I have energy for dinner.

    The Lip Edition Set $122 Value

    Westman Atelier
    The Lip Edition Set (Was $122)
    $79
    SHOP NOW

    Complete with a lip liner, matte lipstick, and lip balm, this lip kit will save you $42. Even better: it takes the guesswork out of creating a pretty pink lip combo. I’m particularly obsessed with the Chou Chou lip balm, which I’ve been wearing on full-glam and no-makeup days.

    Airwrap Co-Anda2xamp;trade; Multi-Styler amp;amp; Dryer Straight+wavy in Ceramic Pink and Rose Gold $749.99 Value

    Dyson
    Airwrap Co-Anda2x™ Multi-Styler Dryer (Was $750)
    $600
    SHOP NOW

    ICYMI: Dyson dropped some A+ new attachments today, including one that resembles the AirStrait. That means the last version of the Dyson is particularly discounted. But don’t let that fool you—it still works with the new attachments; just buy them separately.
