Beauty Products My Mom and I LOVE!
Nécessaire The Body Lotion (Fragrance-Free)
A few years ago Nécessaire became the “it” brand on social media, and after reading the rave reviews, I knew I had to try their fragrance-free The Body Lotion, and instantly became obsessed with this phenomenal lotion! This fast-absorbing, vitamin-rich lotion is a daily essential in my routine. It’s fragrance-free, gentle on sensitive skin, and packed with Niacinimide and peptides that leave my skin soft, healthy, and hydrated without feeling greasy! I use it every day after showering. I also pair it with tan drops during the fall, winter, and early spring months! I love everything about this amazing body lotion, especially the minimal packaging that feels like a luxury spa find.
Sale price: $35 ($58 value)
T3 SinglePass Curl 1.25″ Extra Long Curling Iron
My T3 curling irons and curling wands are my go-to for quick, long-lasting curls. I have thick, wavy, and unruly hair that tends to have a mind of its own if I don’t tame it after washing and drying it! I started using T3 hair tools nearly a decade ago and quickly became obsessed! They’re durable, work extremely well, and are at a great price point.
If you have long hair, you will adore this T3 SinglePass Curl 1.25″ Extra Long Curling Iron! The extra-long barrel is ideal for longer hair, and the heat stays consistent so no re-curling is needed (which ultimately leads to less damage)! This curling iron creates smooth, frizz-free waves that last for days. It heats up in less than a minute, which is phenomenal! If you’ve been shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for years, you know that this curling iron came in this Nordstrom-exclusive blue shade many years ago! It is still going strong, and is still my go-to when I wash/dry and style my hair! I highly recommend T3 curling irons and curling wands!
Sale Price: $129.99 ($169 value)
Lancôme Renergie Collection Gift Set
Lancôme Renergie has long been a staple in my mom’s beauty routine. She has been using it for decades, is over 70 years old and people constantly tell her how she looks like she’s in her 50s! This gift set includes my mom’s all-time favorite night cream, day cream, and eye cream, which are Rénergie HPN 300-Peptide Cream SPF 25 (1.7 oz.), Rénergie Lift Multi-Action Night Cream Skin Rejuvenating Treatment (1.7 oz.), and Rénergie Eye Cream (0.17 oz.)! These skincare essentials are her go-to for firmer smoother skin and they also with a beautiful pouch. They are a great value for those searching for tried and true anti-aging products or those like my mom who have used it for years and love stocking up at the Anniversary Sale!
Sale: $185 (Value $307)
Benefit Benetint Liquid Lip & Cheek Tint Duo
Benefit Benetint has long been touted as one of the greatest liquid blush tints ever! This is one of my mom’s favorite beauty products ever, and she’s been using it for years! You can apply this tint with a brush or a sponge, or you can blend it in with your fingertips. It gives the most natural flush on one’s cheeks! While my mom has never used it as a lip tint, I know many do.
This phenomenal and affordable set of two full-size Benefit Benetint Liquid Lip & Cheek Tints will make a great gift for yourself or a loved one! You can keep one for yourself and give one to your mom or your daughter!
Sale: $35 (Value $52)
Tom Ford Shimmering Body Oil (in duo set)
I purchased the iconic Tom Ford Soleil Blanc Shimmering Body Oil a few years ago and have been obsessed ever since! Not only is it perfect for summer, but in my opinion, it’s a must for the chilly fall, winter, and early spring months when you need that summer pick-me-up. It feels lightweight and hydrating without any greasy residue. The best part is this luxe shimmering body oil smells amazing! This set includes a 1.5 oz. Tom Ford Soleil Blanc Body Oil, and a 1.5 oz. Tom Ford Soleil Neige Shimmering Body Oil.
Now is a great time to splurge on yourself or buy a holiday gift for your BFF!
Sale: $80
Westman Atelier Skin Activator Serum Duo Set (Nordstrom Exclusive)
The first item I will add to my cart will be the Westman Atelier Skin Activator Serum Duo Set. I purchased it at the Sephora Sale in April, and I quickly became obsessed. My sensitive skin felt hydrated and soft instantly. It has never caused breakouts, and it is beyond amazing! There is so much to love about this serum! It has 12 key ingredients including Vitamin C and hyaluronic acid acid to name a few. I love that this serum is “free of sulfates, phthalates, parabens, petrochemicals, mineral oil, silicone, and talc.” While most wear it under makeup, I prefer wearing it under my night cream! I wake up looking and feeling refreshed and ready for the day!
This duo includes:
Full-size Skin Activator Serum (0.67 oz.)
Full-size Skin Activator Serum Refill (0.67 oz.)
Sale: $184 (Value $275)
Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eyeshadow Trio
My mom introduced me to the Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eyeshadow a few weeks ago, and I’ve been hooked ever since! I work so much that there are days that I don’t have the energy to do my makeup….until she gifted me this eyeshadow for my birthday! It is phenomenal and so easy to apply. I just glide it on my eyelid, and then I blend it in with my fingertips. I also use it below my lower lashes instead of applying eyeshadow with a brush.
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is the perfect time to stock up on these creamy eyeshadow sticks that are effortless and long-lasting. There are two different sets, which include three .06 oz caviar stick eyeshadows! You can’t go wrong with the Gilded Glow set (Burnished Bronze, Rosegold, and Moonlight), and/or the Luminous Luxe set (Starlight, Strapless, and Cocoa).
Sale: $66 (Value $99)
