The Nordstrom Beauty annual sale is back, and for anyone who pays attention to these things, it’s a reliable moment to stock up on premium brands without paying full price. Running through August 9, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2026 includes discounts on names like La Mer, Therabody, and Victoria Beckham Beauty. Even for shoppers watching their summer budgets, the deals make it easier to justify replacing an empty serum or finally trying that viral gadget.
The sale covers a lot of ground. On the high end, the Higherdose V4 Infrared Sauna Blanket drops from $699 to $559. The Dyson Airwrap Co-anda2x Multi-Styler is marked down to $600 from $750. Hourglass Cosmetics has a makeup brush set originally priced at $220 now going for $146. La Mer’s minis gift set — normally $208 — is $98. Therabody’s TheraFace Depuffing Wand is $120, down from $170. Byredo’s Mojave Ghost trio is $280, a $135 saving. The Flamingo Estate Heirloom Tomato Gift Set is $80 instead of $122.
Those are the headline numbers. The real value is in the restocking opportunities. Writers and editors comb through these sales just like everyone else, even if they get some products sent for testing during the year. Running out of skincare, needing a new shampoo, or browsing the perfume aisle — these are common problems. The sale solves them at a discount.

LED therapy devices are a recurring theme. Dr. Dennis Gross’s editor-approved device is on sale — it is meant to boost collagen and fight acne-causing bacteria. Gabrielle Union’s favorite gadget, the TheraFace Depuffing Wand, is also discounted. For hair concerns, Higherdose’s red light hat claims to improve blood circulation to the scalp in 10 minutes, which appeals to anyone dealing with stress-related thinning or just trying to grow out a bob faster.
Dermaflash’s patented dermaplaning tool is another option for those who can’t get to a facialist. “This advanced dermaplaning tool offers a sleek design with a medical-grade stainless-steel blade and vibration technology to enhance the exfoliation process,” Dr. Kristina Collins, a board-certified dermatologist, previously told reporters.
Hair care gets attention too. Rōz’s shampoo has a following. Celebrity hairstylist Sky Kim noted in a guide that it “has a subtle, almost spa-like scent and leaves hair soft and bouncy rather than weighed down.” Microfiber towels are on sale — colorist Rita Hazan previously said that “using one on a regular basis can prevent hair breakage and reduce the amount of stress put on your wet hair.” Multi-stylers from Dyson and T3 are both discounted, alongside luxury brushes from Bur Bur and Bondi Boost’s thermal brush.
It is worth noting that the sale also covers skin-care restocks. La Mer’s best-loved minis set is under $100.

Makeup deals are scattered throughout the sale. Gift sets from YSL Beauty, Hourglass Cosmetics, and Chanel Beauty feature full-size products or minis. Westman Atelier’s pout trio covers glosses, liners, and lipsticks.
Fragrance discounts include Byredo’s Mojave Ghost Trio, Le Labo’s Santal 33, and Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s discovery set with Baccarat Rouge 540. Parfums de Marly’s Delina and Valaya are offered together — Valaya is a personal favorite that fragrance expert Eudora Nwasike described as “heaven in a bottle.” Hermes’s Barenia and Flamingo Estate’s heirloom tomato candle round out the scent offerings.
For shoppers watching their spending, Tom Ford Beauty has a sunny duo in mini sizes — Soleil Blanc and Neroli Portofino. Beauty shopping editor Kiana Murden described Neroli Portofino as “crisp as the Hugo Spritz.” Pursonic’s facial steamer and Kate Somerville’s exfoliating face wash are also under $50.

Gift sets are plentiful. Hourglass Cosmetics has a Nordstrom-exclusive travel brush set. Ilia Beauty’s mascara and eyeshadow stick duo targets the clean beauty crowd. Burberry’s Goddess fragrance comes in a set with full, TSA-approved, and mini sizes. Oribe’s Gold Lust shampoo and conditioner arrive as a gift set with both full and travel sizes. Grande Cosmetics’ lash and brow serum has celebrity fans including Brooke Shields. Dr. Diamond Metacine’s serum is rich in growth factors and peptides — board-certified internist Dr. Amanda Kahn has highlighted its benefits for collagen and skin firmness.
Body care is not overlooked. La Mer’s body lotion, Salt & Stone’s aromatic body wash, Osea’s hydrating body serum, and Augustinus Bader’s ultra-rich cream all offer two-for-one style value. Malin + Goetz’s scented body and hand wash in Rum is a warm, sweet option. Necessaire’s peptide-infused body lotion is fragrance-free for sensitive skin.
The wellness section includes Higher Dose’s infrared sauna blanket at a fraction of its usual cost — Murden says it helps her detox while resting in bed. Gwyneth Paltrow is a fan too. Silk pillowcases and eye masks are also on sale. Puresonic’s water flosser and massage gun round out the health-oriented deals.
