@Screamer77 Comes with brush heads, I think!
@Christine (Temptalia) thanks!
This might be a silly question, but when does the anniversary sale start or has it already?
@moonjenn July 20th-August 5th, but there’s early access for Fashion Rewards members beginning July 11 both in-store and online. Double points July 11-19th and during the first weekend of the sale (July 20-22).
I’m curious about the Giorgio Armani Anniversary Eye Set. I’m wondering about the Eyes to Kill #28. Is there a color description? Christine, will you be reviewing #28?
@JessicaAF This is all the info I have – it’s from the catalog!
@Christine (Temptalia) Hey Christine, I think Armani is releasing 6 LE Eyes to Kill (#24-#29), I saw them online at Nordstrom, Saks, and Neiman Marcus. The question is, are you planning on reviewing them?
@+RYOU+0013+ Not sure!
@Christine (Temptalia) Understood. Thank you for the reply. 🙂
@Christine (Temptalia) Thanks! I appreciate all your hard work!!!
@JessicaAF Google images should help with that. 😉
Looking forward to the new NARS cheek palette
@Shelby W
I have the Danmari. Although I prefer Albatross > Hungry Heart, I can’t justify myself to get this palette. =/
@Shelby W Me too! I hope it’s available in other countries!
I’m actually not seeing a whole lot of GWPs or special deals here I want, other than the NARS cheek palette. Maybe there will be more listed by the actual sale but right now I’m kind of bummed about it; I was really looking forward to this sale and it’s leaving me rather cold. I guess my wallet will appreciate it…
I was interested in the Dior Purple Revolution collection but can’t see anything on the Nordstrom’s website to give me a real idea as to what it entails or looks like. Smoky Violet isn’t one of the 6 Smoky Eyeshadow series on there. What really confuses me is that the prices you’ve mentioned and which you’ve gotten from the catalog are regular Dior prices. Obviously, not your fault at all, but I just don’t see the special sale aspect involved. For example, there is no “$65, retail value $120” type of thing. Oh well, more money to focus on other brands.
@Kafka They’ll be up once they’re available for sale. So – sometimes brands have sets that are deals, other times they just have sets or exclusive products for the sale. Dior does the latter (just like MAC).
Hey Cristine, thanks for sharing? Just curious…what do you recommend getting, or which is a good buy? Thanks!
A lot of brands do skincare sets, so if you buy a particular brand that’s available at Nordstrom, it can be a good time to stock up. I usually get Kiehl’s Creme de Corps mega-sized bottle and Philosophy Shower Gels (love the 6 oz. size).
GWP Estee Lauder is what I am waiting for…to get my foundation…
I just got the catalog the other day too, and I’m so excited! I do feel like there are less goodies this year, but maybe that is just me. I think I’m going for the Laura Mercier and bareMinerals sets. I just got into bareMinerals (for some reason–maybe because it was so over-hyped—I never got into the brand nor felt any interest to) and I am loving it! Don’t know how I feel about the mineral foundation but everything else is awesome!
@Becca @The Beauty Sample I think it’s a sampling of what’s coming? But I’m not sure how much more. The catalog seemed to imply that there were going to be more items (overall) but who knows what beauty will get.
I love this sale. Gah so excited!
I saw the Mac salesgirls getting ready for it and the sets look so great but I’m not sure about the brush set. Any info on that?
@AshleyPlumlee Although I can’t guarantee this, the brush sets tend to be kinda crappy. They’re usually machine made rather than handmade. But who knows, maybe this time it will be different!
Will there be any left after the presale?
Thanks for sharing and taking the time to reply, Christine!
It all depends on the item, I imagine!
y u do this to me, Nordstrom’s? I am all over those Laura Mercier and Lancome sets.
I think my nipples just got hard.. can I say that here?
Oooh, I like the sound of that NARS cheek palette! I missed out on the first one, but these colors sound more up my alley anyway!
I was hoping we would see the blue collection from Chanel — or at least something exclusive from Chanel. Still crossing my fingers!
Man, I love this sale way too much. It’s so dangerous!
OMG Christine you are the absolute BEST my love! I been looking all over the place for these information waiting to see what goodies Nordstrom will have this year! Thank you!
Christine, do you happen to know what time the items are launched online on the 20th for people to buy? I’d imagine it would be midnight but in what time zone?
I believe Nordstrom shuts down the site shortly prior and has a countdown.
The catalog did not have all of the beauty “specials” included this year. If you got to a Nordstrom store, there is a beauty look book (loose-leaf binder) which has photos of all of the Anniversary sale specials. Chanel is featuring the Fleur de Lotus Asia-exclusive, and Mario Badescu has a couple of items., and there are others that are not in the catalog. I’m not sure why the catalog doesn’t have everything this year – maybe there are inventory issues?
It’s shut down as of today. I went on there to look at Chanel lipsticks, and nothing on the sale list interests me this year. Oh well…:/ It’s not a good idea to order lipstick in the mail right now anyway, it’s so hot! What I ordered last week was very warm when I got the package.
today is the 11th and you still can’t log on. nor can you get thru by phone…due to unforeseen circumstances. oh boy!
Is the gift with purchase for estee Lauder applicable for online shoppers?
@karmcmon I’m not sure – I would check with Nordstrom!
