Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Beauty Ranked: My Top 15 Picks (Worst to Best)
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is finally here, and after looking through all of this year’s beauty exclusives, I narrowed it down to my 15 favorite deals.
I’m ranking each product based on three things:
- 💰 Value for the money
- 💸 How much you’re actually saving
- ✨ Whether I think you’ll realistically use the product
These rankings are just my opinion, so if you would rank them differently, let me know in the comments!
#15 Augustinus Bader Hydrogel Face Mask Set
Price: $135 (Value: $198)
Augustinus Bader makes incredible skincare, but this one landed at the bottom of my list because I have a hard time spending $135 on sheet masks but these have amazing reviews! Worth trying but wouldn’t break the bank for them.

#14 La Mer Reparative Body Lotion Duo
Price: $185 (Value: $370)
This set offers one of the biggest dollar discounts in the sale, but it’s still $185 for body lotion. If you’re already a La Mer fan, this is a great opportunity to stock up. For everyone else, I think there are better beauty investments in the sale.

#13 Donna Karan Cashmere Mist Deodorant Trio
Price: $72 (Value: $96)
Cashmere Mist has a loyal following, and I know many people purchase this trio every year. It’s definitely practical, but compared to the other beauty exclusives, it isn’t one of the most exciting purchases.

#12 Touchland Rosewater Glow Mist Duo
Price: $22 (Value: $32)
I love Touchland products and think this duo is adorable. It’s affordable and useful, worth adding to your order!

#11 Westman Atelier Activator Serum Duo
Price: $180 (Value: $270)
Westman Atelier makes beautiful skincare, and the savings here are definitely worthwhile. My only hesitation is the price. At $180, it’s still a significant investment compared to some of the other exclusives.

#10 Penhaligon’s The Iconics Fragrance Set
Price: $100 (Value: $150)
If you’ve been wanting to try Penhaligon’s, this is a beautiful introduction to the brand. I love discovery sets, it’s a great way to try fragrances without splurging on a full bottle.

#9 Diptyque Eau de Parfum Discovery Set
Price: $83 (Value: $110)
I ranked this slightly higher because Diptyque is a fan favorite luxury fragrance house. This makes a beautiful gift and is an excellent way to experience several of the brand’s most popular scents.

#8 Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm
Price: $85 (Value: $126)
This cleansing balm has been a cult favorite for years. Since it’s something you’ll use almost every day, I think the value is much stronger than many of the luxury sets in this sale. I have bought this cleansing balm at least 10 times! It’s my absolute favorite and I will be buying it during the sale!

#7 La Mer Most-Loved Minis Gift Set
Price: $98 (Value: $208)
If you’ve always wanted to try La Mer, this is one of the best opportunities all year. I love that you get several of the brand’s bestselling products without committing to full sizes. This is a great value too at 50% off!

#6 YSL Make Me Blush & Loveshine Lip Oil Stick Set
Price: $60 (Value: $91)
This is one of my favorite makeup sets in the sale. The shades are wearable, the packaging is gorgeous, and I think almost anyone would enjoy using these products.
#5 NARS The Multiple Stick Duo
Price: $54 (Value: $80)
I think this is one of the most underrated beauty deals this year. You’re getting two iconic multitasking sticks that work on the cheeks, lips, and even eyes, making this an easy everyday product.

#4 Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks & Lit Up Duo
Price: $35 (Value: $52)
If you’ve wanted to try Westman Atelier, this is the set I’d recommend. You’re getting two of the brand’s most-loved products at a much more approachable price. They had a similar set last year and I bought it and LOVE it. I use them all the time and it was my first introduction to the brand!

🥉 #3 Chanel Most-Coveted Beauty Set
This is one of the most exciting exclusives in the entire sale. Chanel rarely offers value sets like this, and between the luxe pouch and bestselling beauty products, I think this one will be incredibly popular.

🥈 #2 Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray Duo
Price: $53 (Value: $78)
This is one of those products that almost everyone who tries it loves. Since setting spray is something you’ll actually use every day, getting two bottles at this price makes it one of the smartest purchases in the sale.

🥇 #1 Armani Luminous Silk Cheek Tint Duo
Price: $53 (Value: $80)
This was an easy choice for my number one spot.
You’re getting two full-size luxury blushes in one of the hottest formulas on the market. The shades are beautiful, the value is excellent, and it’s a product I can genuinely see myself using all the time. If I could only buy one makeup exclusive from this year’s Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, this would be it.
