Whenever I run out of a favorite beauty product, I make sure to check Nordstrom for my restock. The retailer regularly runs quiet, limited-time sales on tons of coveted beauty brands like True Botanicals, Augustinus Bader, and Benefit Cosmetics, so you can often find good deals on your favorites. Case in point: From now until March 9, you can save up to 25 percent (though I found some items for even higher discounts) on select skin care, makeup, and more in the latest Nordstrom beauty sale. And if you’re a Nordy Club member, you’ll earn triple rewards points on beauty from now until April 8.
I scrolled through all 13 pages of the sale and found the 21 best deals, including our best-in-class face moisturizer and my favorite hydrating sleep mask. I’ve organized everything by category, which you can navigate to using the links here, but if your beauty cabinet needs a full restock, scroll on for all my top picks.
Skin care
This best-in-class moisturizer packs a hydrating punch without any heavy ingredients, making it a rare rich cream that seamlessly absorbs into the skin. And, according to one dermatologist, its main antioxidant, chebula, is great at revitalizing stressed-out complexions.
Chock-full of vitamin C and hyaluronic acid, Kiehl’s serum targets dullness, fine lines, and uneven skin textures. It’s a Strategist-reader best seller, so stock up while you can.
Another great hyaluronic-acid serum for bringing dry winter skin back to life and reducing fine lines. Tata Harper is notoriously pricey (and infrequently on sale), so now is the time to buy.
Dr. Barbara Sturm’s products are even more expensive than Tata Harper — but they have rave reviews (including from our own Rio). This luxurious anti-aging night cream produces a plumping effect with vitamin E that leaves skin fresh and dewy.
If you’re looking for nonsurgical solutions to “tech neck” and wrinkles, StriVectin’s peptide serum roller is both soothing and effective, according to dermatologists.
I decided to give Saturday Skin’s sleep mask a try when my face was losing the battle against this year’s winter weather. One night’s sleep with it slathered on made a noticeable difference. After three nights, I recognized my skin in the mirror again.
A set of seven (one for every day of the week) machine-washable cloths that break down makeup with water and a few circular scrubs. Yes, they even wash away mascara.
Jack Black products are staples in our men’s grooming guides (we particularly like them for shaving). For the man who’s trying to get into a daily moisturizing routine, though, I’d go for this set. It includes the brand’s daily cleanser, face moisturizer, and body wash for just $35 (less than half the cost of the set’s $75 value).
The red-light therapy wand that one Strategist contributor prefers over NuFace is 25 percent off, a decent deal on the popular device.
Makeup
This dreamy soft-matte red lipstick from Valentino won’t dry your lips out. If red isn’t your favorite color, the refills are on sale in 25 different hues, too.
A blurring matte foundation that makes blending your base a breeze — perfect for no-makeup makeup looks. It’s normally quite pricey at $70, so $35 is an incredible deal on it.
This boxed set includes two popular full-size Benefit mascaras: the BadGal Bang! Volumizing Mascara and the Roller Lash Curling & Lifting Mascara (the latter is a Strategist Beauty Brief writer’s go-to wand for curled lashes that stay all day).
Experts recommend Laura Mercier’s setting powders for hot summer days. This powder foundation is water-resistant, oil-free, fragrance-free, and great at reducing shine.
Hair care
A slightly larger version of our favorite curling iron is currently under $200.
This detangler brush has 325 flexible two-tiered teeth that gently sift through tangles without causing breakage. It’s so good, beauty writer Tembe Denton-Hurst owns four.
Prepare for spring and summer travel now with this set of mini Living Proof best sellers. It includes the Flex Hairspray, Dry Volume & Texture Spray, and the Perfect Hair Day Original Dry Shampoo that both Kylie Kelce and Sohla El-Waylly can’t live without.
Fragrance and wellness
If you’ve been on the fence about buying our top luxury sleep-mask pick, now is the time to take the leap. Lunya’s 100-percent mulberry silk mask isn’t just revered for its softness; customers (including The Bear star Abby Elliott) also love its adjustable straps and plush cushioning.
Voluspa candles are among our favorites not just for the scents but also “because they last a really long time,” according to content creator Yaminah Mayo. This pack includes four five-ounce scents: Santal Vanille, Temple Moss, Forbidden Fig, and Spiced Pumpkin Latte.
Maison Margiela mastered the expensive-but-worth-it fragrance, whether it’s for you or your home. Right now, you can grab three of the brand’s mini-candles for just $20 apiece: one spicy, one floral, and one sweet scent.
Discover your new favorite luxury fragrance for less with this limited-edition Maison Margiela sample set.
For the candle-averse (or the college student who’s not allowed candles in their dorm), Pura’s smart diffuser is easily controlled from your phone, holds two scents at once, and runs for up to 100 hours.
