As a beauty editor, I firmly believe that every new season calls for a product refresh. And with summer right around the corner, it's officially time to swap out full-coverage foundations for tinted moisturizers, and matte formulas for glow-boosting alternatives. The moment temperatures hit 65, I stock up on my favorite SPFs and reach for anything that can hold up in heat and humidity. Which is why the timing of Nordstrom's Half-Yearly Sale couldn't be better.

From May 21 to June 1, you can save up to 60 percent on some beauty-editor-approved staples from brands like Laura Mercier, MAC, Bobbi Brown, Tom Ford, and more. Personally, I'm using the sale to replenish my go-to (and pricey!) lash serums, finally splurge on a new Dyson hair tool, and snag a few designer perfumes I've had my eye on. (They're on sale—it barely counts, right?!)

Whether you've got a trip coming up or just want to revamp your current summer skincare, haircare, and makeup lineup, now's the time to do it, without paying full price. Below, I've rounded up the beauty picks worth purchasing before they inevitably sell out.
