Nordstrom Beauty Exclusives Available Now For Everyone, What I Purchased, and Recs

Heads up! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is now open to everyone! Last week, as you may know it was open to Nordstrom cardholders only but now anyone can shop the sale.

I’m not terribly excited about this year’s sale as I was about it several years ago. I think the offerings have evolved a lot in recent years and many of the really special limited-edition items just aren’t around anymore. But there’s still a lot of goodness to be had and I did pick up a few of the beauty and makeup bits and bobs they had available.

One of my biggest recommendations for a haul is the Charlotte Tilbury The Gift of Magic Skin Mini Skin Care Set ($75). I think Magic Cream is a little silly but I have none of the same issues with the Magic Eye Rescue. I LOVE it. It’s super emollient and it does wonders for hydrating my eyes. It is by far the best eye cream I have ever come across. I’m also a big lover of the Magic Cream Night Cream Instant Beauty Sleep in a Cream Elixir which has a similiar texture and is very, very hydrating. This set includes a full-size of the eye cream as well as nearly 1 oz sizes of the night cream and regular Magic Cream. If you’re eyes are drier believe me this is a set you don’t want to miss out on. I know $75 seems a lot but your drier eyes and skin will thank you! The Magic Night Cream and Magic Eye Rescue are HG for me (holy grail).

Here’s a few more recommendations!

NYX $49.99 Makeup Palettes Are A Know When To Walk Away Moment

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

I don’t exactly know hold old I was when I became enamored with Bruce Boxleitner but I’m pretty sure it all started with reruns of Scarecrow and Mrs King. I’m pretty sure he was my first “real man” crush. I mean, he wasn’t a boy, he was a man with a corvette and he did undercover work and had a fetish for divorced housewives that had kids and lived with their mother. He also happened to wear eyeshadow (in the early episodes of Scarecrow and Mrs King I’m pretty sure they were using the same taupe-y lilac on his eyes as they did on Fabio on all those Johanna Lindsey romance book covers.

Ahh the 80’s.

Later on in my crush I learned that there was life after Scarecrow and Mrs King and Bruce was in other fine films like the Gambler parts 1 through 100.

By the way, Kenny Rogers had a point there.

Sometimes you got know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em, and know when to walk away or in this case RUN! RUN FAR, FAR AWAY from $50 NYX Palettes.
