These Are the Beauty Tools I'm Snagging During Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale
They're already in my cart.


I like to think that my beauty routine is pretty simple. For my skin, I have my go-to cleansers, a toner that exfoliates my skin and relieves clogged pores, serums that treat hyperpigmentation and make me look extra glowy, and SPF moisturizers that hydrate my skin and protect me from the sun. Meanwhile, my haircare routine is a collection of products that cleanse, hydrate, and strengthen my curls while promoting length retention. Still, with all this simplicity in mind, sometimes a tool or device can really come in handy, whether it's an LED face mask or a high-tech blow dryer. Tools like this can often cost...a lot, but luckily all the skin and hair tools I've been eyeing for months are currently heavily discounted for Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale.
The sale officially began on July 12 and runs through Aug. 3, which means you have exactly three weeks to save on your favorite luxury beauty products, from high tech hair care must-haves to cult-favorite prestige skincare.

This special kit includes a handful of bestsellers from Dr. Dennis Gross, from the Alpha Beta Extra Strength Daily Peel wipes to the cult-favorite LED mask that Marie Claire editor Julia Marzovilla says once helped clear her post-acne scars and reduce her breakouts overall. "My skin looks so much better after using this for the past few months, and I can't wait to see how the progress continues," she says.
This is everyone's favorite at-home dermaplaning tool for a reason: it's super-effective, easy to travel with, and simple enough for beginners to figure out. MC contributor Marisa Petrarca tested it out herself and loved it. "I use it ahead of special events when I want my skin to feel silky-smooth and my makeup to apply flawlessly, and I love that the charging base doubles as a storage solution," she says.
This LED face mask addresses uneven tone and texture while gently reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Just pop it on for ten minutes three to five times a week and you're golden.
This tool has two sides—one with a smooth finish to help relieve puffiness around the eyes, and a contoured side to help sculpt the jawline and cheekbones. Use it in the morning for a perfectly snatched face.
NuFace's microcurrent tool is known for its ability to lift and sculpt the skin, and it's even beloved by celebrities like Jennifer Aniston and Bella Hadid. This discounted kit includes the NuFace Trinity+, two microcurrent attachments, and an LED red light attachment so you can address multiple issues at once.
Use this raved-about tool to extract excess dirt and gunk from your pores when your go-to cleanser just isn't doing enough. "To me, this is the ultimate beginner-friendly device," MC contributor Danielle Cohen wrote in a previous review. "All you need is a light touch and a quick read through the instructions, it's fairly fool-proof beyond that."
You should never neglect your neck when applying makeup, but that logic should also apply to your skincare routine. Apply your favorite neck cream and use this LED light tool (it has seven colors to choose from) to massage it in while simultaneously treating fine lines, firmness, and hyperpigmentation.
Giving your face a deep clean never felt so good thanks to this soft tool that massages and gently cleanses the face with over 7,000 vibrations a minute. Use the bristled side to cleanse before flipping it over to the smooth side to help massage in your serum of choice.
Use the microneedling tool in this 2-in-1 set to address collagen production and fine lines. If puffiness is your problem, reach for the rose quartz roller.
If enlarged pores, congestion, and blemishes are your problem, use this to suction out blackheads and dirt. The experience can pretty much rival that of an in-office microdermabrasion treatment.

I'll sing the praises of this flat iron every chance I get. It gets my thick, type 4 hair smooth every time I use it and it has an automatic shut-off feature that turns the tool off after ten minutes of inactivity—so no more panicking about whether or not you've unplugged your flat iron once you've already left your house.
This tool was one of our spring editor favorites thanks to its smart technology that adjusts its own heat and speed settings to your hair texture.
These hot rollers use a special color-indicating technology to help prevent you from keeping them in for too long. Simply remove the rollers from your hair once the light turns red, and you'll have bouncy, voluminous curls for days.
