As the former cosmetic buyer for Nordstrom, one of the perks was getting a sneak peak at what was coming out before it hit store shelves. The best time of year was always July when Nordstrom held their annual Anniversary Sale. For those ‘in the know', this sale is legendary. It's not a clearance sale- Nordstrom brings in the newest and hottest clothing, shoe and cosmetics for fall before any other retailer gets them. Clothing and shoes are priced up to 40% off and cosmetic companies offer gifts with purchase and special value- limited edition items. The store is crowded and the best merchandise goes fast, but you have an opportunity to preorder your favorite products now to be shipped directly to you on July 18th.

 

Here are a few of my favorite beauty buys exclusive to Nordstrom for the Anniversary Sale!
