It’s that time of year again when the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale begins. I’ve never shopped this sale early, but I do enjoy the deals that come along once everyone is allowed to shop. Nordstrom allows the card holders early access (July 12-19) and then everyone else gets a chance to grab some goodies (July 20-Aug 5).

I wanted to focus on the beauty and fashion items that I think would be great finds if you are shopping the sale this year. The Nordstrom Anniversary sale is an excellent way to get great deals on designer items, gifts and even beauty bundles that are always a great value for money.

Smashbox Pack Me Primer, $35 ($68 value)

Smashbox primers are legendary and this three piece kit allows you to try that amazing formula in three ways. The primer water is very light on the skin and offers hydration and a barrier between your skin and makeup. The original photo finish primer has awesome smoothing and blurring properties and the primerizer provides a 2 in 1 option as a moisturizer and primer on the go.

Laura Mercier Prime and Perfect set ($38)

If you are a fan of the Laura Mericer setting powder, then this set is perfect for you. This set is travel sized, but a little goes a long way when it comes to those powders. In this set, you get both the popular translucent setting powder, the Mineral Illuminating Powder in Candlelight and the foundation radiance primer.

Ruffle Cotton Poplin Blend Top, $39.90 (reg. $59)

This has to be the cutest top I’ve seen in a long time. It’s perfect for the office and even a brunch outing. The deep, V-neck line gives this top an elegant yet sexy element. The ruffles give it this amazing feminine touch that instantly dresses it up. I think the style itself allows this top to be a year-round piece.

Adidas Originals 3-stripes dress, $44.90 (reg. $60)

I know this dress is super casual, but it looks amazingly comfy! This midi dress would definitely be perfect for running errands or even a casual movie night. I like pieces like this that are no-fuss and this dress would fit right into that description.

NARS Undressed Liquid Lip set, $49, ($104 value)

If you ever wanted to try the NARS liquid lipsticks, this set is the perfect way to do so. The four colors in this set can take you from summer to fall and back again. This set includes two Velvet Lip Glide formulas in the shades Bound and Cartagena. The other two formulas are the Powermatte Lip Pigment, and the shades included are Save the Queen and Haze.
