The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is one of my favorite events of the year, especially when it comes to the beauty department. You can always find cost-effective kits from coveted brands, but this year the luxury skin-care and fragrance sets are especially good.

Anniversary Sale is here. Check out the beauty, clothing, and home deals that our experts say are worth shopping.

Nordstrom understands the beauty of a great deal. During the department store’s much-awaited Anniversary Sale, hundreds of beauty sets are up for grabs — including exclusives from hardly-ever-on-sale luxury brands like La Mer, Nars, Elemis and Dr. Dennis Gross.
