It’s that time of year! The one and only Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is starting, and I, like all the other beauty addicts in the world, have been caught up in the excitement of this special sale.

Any outsider might ask why this once-a-year event is so special. Of course, I gasp in shock and fill them in on all the details. For example, that this sale starts on July 17th and features all of fall’s latest fashions marked down before prices are raised to normal on August 3rd.

Even better though, are the products from huge brands like NARS, MAC, and Chanel that are sold exclusively at Nordstrom during this sale, with value packs, palettes, bargains, and limited edition colors. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is the stuff of dreams for most anyone, whether you’re a seasoned shoe, bag, beauty, couture, clothes, or perfume addict!

Here is what I’m seriously lemming! (Beauty wise, of course)

The MAC Look in a Box in Sweet Tease ($59.50 US) caught my attention mostly because of the MAC Beauty Powder in Shell Pearl. This limited edition product was part of the Sundressing Collection which came out in 2006, so it’s hard to find now.

There are three different looks from the MAC Look in a Box sets, but Sweet Tease seems to be the most fresh and light, which I love. With a mini 181 Buffer Brush, mini Zoomlash Mascara, Mulch eye shadow, Gleam eye shadow, and Love Nectar Lustreglass also included, this would make an excellent gift for someone who’s just starting out their makeup collection.

I LOVE everything about the NARS Modern Love Palette ($55 US)! The colors are all beautiful and definitely ones I’d wear a lot. I know that they will blend very well and that the pigmentation will be awesome, since it’s NARS.

Plus, the sleek packaging and large mirror will win points in my book. Shimmery peach, reddish brown, golden brown, light silver, sparkling plum, and matte black can create endless looks. These are the modern neutrals that spark creativity and love into my life! Stage an intervention! I don’t think my life would be the same without this. 

Notorious for smoking hot jeans, Rock and Republic created an equally bad (in a good way!) makeup line that makes me want to break out my skinny jeans!

Gorgeous leather and heavy metal compacts evoke pure luxury to my mind. Although this line is quite expensive, I absolutely can’t stop myself from wanting to try this line out!

The Rock and Republic ‘Drama Queen’ Collection ($69.50 US) is a definitely a more affordable way to bring some rock and roll to your life! This set is an easy way to try their gorgeous blush, smooth lip gloss, and silky eye shadow all in a chic patent leather makeup bag.

Talk about a value pack! This set saves you more than a typical run at Costco! Beautiful scents and luscious lathers will make you fall in love with this duo from Philosophy. It smell amazing and feminine when you layer these products right on top of each other for maximum affect.

The HUGE 32 oz. each Amazing Grace 3-in-1 Shower Gel/Shampoo/Bubble Bath and Amazing Grace Firming Body Lotion in the Philosophy Amazing Grace Gift Set ($50 US) will leave you singing in the shower in no time!

For the die-hard floral perfume lover, Viktor & Rolf’s Flowerbomb Anniversary Set ($115 US) will be perfect. If you recall Lilan’s first impressions, this scent is romantic, high-imact, girly, and beautiful, this perfume has the power to transform the most timid wall flower into the belle of the ball.

An Eau de Parfum, Shower Gel, Body Lotion, and Hair Mist will envelop you in the ultimate floral experience. Like running through a field of the most fragrant flowers, except spraying Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb on is easier and quicker, without the risk of bee stings!
