Between washes, styling, and the fuss-free days of dry shampoo, there’s scalp health to consider. (After all, scalp care is hair care.) Briogeo’s Scalp Saviors set pairs a handheld scalp massager with a coconut-charcoal micro-exfoliating shampoo, which is clinically proven to improve scalp hydration. Here’s to good hair days ahead.
Best Fragrance Deals
During the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, the best fragrance deals extend to scents that have become a signature for Vogue editors, perfuming many an air kiss between industry insiders. The classic Baccarat Rouge 540, for example, comes in the exclusive Maison Francis Kurkdjian Paris discovery set. Former shopping writer Alexis Bennett describes the iconic perfume as “universally flattering,” and is admittedly “obsessed” with its “sweet yet soft, airy scent.” Another classic? Chloé Signature Eau de Parfum, which associate fashion editor Charlotte Diamond has been loyal to since high school. “Whenever I reunite with someone I haven’t seen for a while they always comment on how happy they are that I still use the same perfume!” she said of the flower-heavy scent. If it’s flowers you’re after, you may also consider plucking a bottle of Diptyque Eau de Rose from the sale. “I love how light and easy the smell is,” market editor Naomi Elizée said, adding that, crucially, this rose is “not overpowering.” Add to the floral bouquet with finds from Le Labo’s Discovery Set, which includes travel-friendly bottles of the lavender-infused Lavande 31 and the jasmine-spiked Another 13—the wildly popular Santal 33 is in the set, too. There’s a reason “half of New York City wears Santal 33,” creative development senior associate Lucy Dolan-Zalaznick has noted—the woody homage to the American West has a way of casting a spell on even the most sophisticated scent-lovers. Speaking of scent-lovers—and spell-casters—Dua Lipa’s signature scent, Yves Saint Laurent’s Moroccan-orange-blossom-spiked Libre—is also on rare sale. From African gardens to far-flung resorts, Tom Ford’s trio of Private Blend Soleil fragrances channel sun-dappled getaways steeped in white-sand beaches.
Best Body Care Deals
To take the preening from head to toe, add a few of the best body-care deals to your Nordstrom Anniversary Sale cart. Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Cream Face + Body Set not only contains the Magic Body Cream, which landed on our Best Body Lotions list because it instantly transforms dry, sagging skin; it also has a dewy-skinned celebrity’s secret weapon. Rita Ora told Vogue that the brand’s Magic Cream Face Moisturizer is integral to her glow. Like your oil with a little glimmer? Now is the time to pick up Kopari’s Hyaluronic Moisture Set. Infused with the brand’s signature ingredient—namely, the very coconut oil with which Zoё Kravitz is besotted—the set contains a luxurious whipped body cream and a body oil infused with shimmer-inducing flecks of gold. A bit of sparkle shines brighter against a bronzed backdrop— conveniently, the St. Tropez bronzing mousse is also on sale. Everyday essentials get a glamorous spin in Nordtsrom’s sale aisles too. Consider a designer deodorant scented with Donna Karan’s White Cashmere, which had a viral moment on TikTok decades after the ‘90s scent first breezed onto the scene with its distinctive, jasmine and sandalwood notes. For body washes, Nėcessaire’s eucalyptus-scented Body Wash Duo takes simple cleansing up a notch with skincare-grade ingredients including niacinamide and vitamins A, C, and E. Handcare counts, too, and Kiehl’s Ultimate Strength Hand Salve has long been a Vogue-editor favorite. Tried and true, the hardworking cream leaves hands soft and hydrated—even for those involved with heavy industrial work.
Best Wellness Deals
An utterly cozy blanket, a divinely scented candle, elevated dental essentials—the best wellness deals at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale ensure that your surroundings and spirit will get a glow-up along with your skin, body, and hair. (Not to mention, your teeth.) Why not stay hydrated—32 ounces at a time—with a sleek, wide-mouth bottle from Hydro Flask? Or, brighten your smile with the Moon teeth-whitening device system? To keep the good habits going, ensure proper beauty sleep with UGG’s throw-blanket-and-sleep-mask set. Made of plush faux shearling, the sweet-dream facilitator comes with a convenient carry bag that makes it easy to doze on the go. Speaking of dreamy things, Pura’s collaboration with Brooklyn Candle fills the home with scents ranging from jasmine-gardenia-laced Sunday Morning to Love Potion, which melds jasmine with lavender and mandarin. All the scents are housed in Pura’s smart plug-in, which can be controlled via smartphone. But if you prefer a more traditional route to home fragrance, Nest’s Grapefruit & Bamboo Diffuser Duo envelops spaces in the fresh scents of flowering bamboo and juicy pink grapefruit. Another lovely option is Diptyque’s 4-Piece Candle Gift Set, which lends itself to candlelit moments fragranced with rose, fig, lavender, or berries.
Editor Picks
As much as our editors love a good beauty secret, the editor picks from Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale are too good to guard. To wit: Senior shopping editor Talia Abbas, whose job threatens to leave her jaded on sales, almost spilled her coffee when she saw Westman Atelier’s Eye Want Mascara on sale (with a matching eyeliner, no less.) “I haven’t clicked on anything faster,” she confides. “[This is] my go-to mascara, which doesn’t smudge and gives a weightless, comfortable lift.” Speaking of items Abbas hastened to add to her cart, she isn’t the only one in her household who will make good use of Supergoop!’s Unseen Sunscreen set. Abbas will be using her favorite Supergoop! gel sunscreen on the daily as usual, while her boyfriend will steal away with the sunscreen stick for hiking and biking. However, she’s a smidge less likely to share Slip’s pure-silk skinny scrunchies. “The rare slim scrunchie that can hold my thick hair!” she raves. “Do I hoard these? Maybe!”
