Norstrom #NSale Beauty Finds

As much as I love the clothes, shoes and bags of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, one thing I always look forward to is snagging deals on some of my beauty brands or using the same to test out items I would normally never try. I’ve included some old favourites and new obsessions in the round up below with some notes below on why. 
Old Favourites 
Oribe Texturizing Spray: If I’m going to curl my hair on the same day as an event, it can often be quite bouncy and hold too much volume. I love this spray to help create more relaxed waves and turn day 1 hair into a day 2 look. 
OUAI Rose Oil: This wasn’t a love at first sight product for me but after I started using it as a body oil rather than a conditioner for my split ends, I fell in love. 
Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream Set: I love snagging this collection for travel. The cream does double duty for both the face and eye area while Wonder Glow is my favourite throw on and go product for beach vaca glow. 
Kiehl’s Day to Night: The Midnight Recovery Oil is a favourite of mine and a product I turn to in colder months for an extra oomph with my skin. 
New Obsessions
Supergoop Invincible Powder: Since my summer makeup routine is pretty low key (tinted primer and some bronzer), I hate the idea of adding another layer of cream to my face. This SPF powder not only sets my makeup but also helps keep my skin uber safe. 
Tom Ford Shimmer Oil: I have tested countless products this summer trying to achieve the ultimate glow for my body. This shimmer oil absorbs fast and has just the right mix of tint but shimmer for a classy look. 

Anniversary Sale Beauty Must-Have’s!


Happy Friday Gals! Rounding up some of my personal favourite beauty brands and products found in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale on the blog today. With only a week left, be sure to top up on all your beauty must-haves while the sale still lasts! 
OUAI Wave Spray: I recently bought the Rose Body Oil rom this brand and obsessed is an understatement. I recently tried the Wave Spray on my beach waves and loved the scent but the way it texturized my hair!

Diptyque Candle Set: As if this brand needs an introduction! I do love saving my jars for fun odds and ends like matchsticks, Q-tips or a catch-all on a bedside table. 
Tory Burch Perfume: This light and airy perfume is a great scent to wrap up the rest of summer! 

Beachwaver Curling Iron: While I haven’t used this specific product myself, I am a huge fan of a good beach wave and this will do the trick. Not to mention – it does all the hard work for you! 
Mario Badusco Icons Set: Give me anything with Rosewater and I’m a happy girl! The Facial Spray in this set is a game changer and the travel size is perfect for you gals on the go! 
Sugar Lips Lip Balm: I’ve been carrying this balm for years and still consider it one of my favs to this day. You’re likely to find one in every bag I own. The rose scent (noticing a theme here!?!) and tinted colour make it a perfect companion for a quick touch up. 
Charlotte Tillbury Bronze and Blush Glow Set: I mean, can the woman do any wrong? I’ve yet to met a Charlotte Tillbury product I haven’t loved and this set is no exception. I love that both products are buildable and work great on more fair skin tones or at your darkest in summer. 
Charlotte Tillbury Hot Lips Set: The kind of lipstick set you’ll find in my work tote: nudish-pink for the day and a brighter pop of colour for night. I love love love CT’s lipstick collection and this new line is just amazing (try Electric Poppy!) 
Round Sense Mirror: These mirrors are definitely a love/hate product in the bathroom but they’re a girl’s BFF when it comes to liquid liner application! 

Bobbi Brown Lip Set: Sure the colour of this set is amazing but if you haven’t tried the Art Stick by Bobbi Brown, you’re missing out. Goes on like lip gloss, dries like a matte lipstick – it’s a game changer when it comes to lip colour! 
Voluspa Candles: I love scooping up these candle sets and saving them as hostess gift ideas. They’re also fun additions to powder rooms when you throw dinner parties!

Get the Look: Everyday Beauty with NARS

Take a peek in my cosmetics bag and a brand you’ll find over and over is NARS. From their lipsticks to concealer and everything in between, I’m a big fan of the brand and it’s quality. One of the beauty first products I purchased was the NARS multiple stick from Nordstrom. A staple in my beauty bag, I am loving the new Hot Sand shade that’s currently exclusive to Nordstrom. Today I’m sharing an everyday makeup look for me featuring items from the collection.

Candle: Diptyque | Tray: Jonathon Adler

Foundation: NARS All Day Luminous Liquid Foundation in Cadiz
Sweater | Tee | Necklace {similar}
Mascara: NARS ‘Audacious’ Mascara
Concealer: NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Custard
I absolutely LOVE the NARS concealer. It goes on easy, blends perfect and takes me from day to night which is a must when it comes to my beauty routine. 
Despite the brushes and blenders I’ve tried, I prefer to blend my concealer with my fingers ;)
I love a little bit of glow in the winter months and the NARS Bronzing Powder in Laguna is great for faking that sun-kissed look! 
I use my finger to dab the NARS Multiple Highlighter in Hot Sand around my eyes for a soft accent. The universally flatting peach-champagne tone compliments my skin tone year round but since I only need a few dabs, the product lasts quite some time which makes the investment all the more worth it! 

The brush a touch of NARS Blush in Orgasm over the apples of my cheeks for a warming effect. 

Last but not least: NARS Lipstick in Roman Holiday! A quick swipe of NARS Lipgloss in Turkish Delight and I’m on my way! 

Just some of the go-to products in my beauty bag from NARS! With a new season shortly around the corner, be sure to visit Nordstrom’s selection of NARS products to create a look that accentuates your features and can help you achieve the glow that gals know and love about their collection.

Date Night

1. Kimono style Plum Pretty Sugar Robe 2. ConAir Curling Iron 3. OPI ‘My Vampire is Buff’ 4. Nars ‘Orgasm’ Lip Gloss 5. Diptyque ‘Baies’ Candle 6. Jo Malone Nectarine Blossom & Honey Cologne 7. Benefit They’re Real Mascara 8. Moroccan Oil Hairspray

I don’t think there’s anything I love more than date night with my hubby. Whether it’s dinner and a movie or a stroll downtown, any time spent with him is always the best. Since we’re often so busy, prepping for a night out on the town often involves a quick change of clothes, makeup touch-up and a spritz of my favourite perfume to take me from my day to night routine.  I’ve recently become obsessed with the collection of robes from Plum Pretty Sugar and this pink kimono-style robe is a personal fav. Easy to slip in and out of, this gorgeous robe is perfect for the sweet unwind or a fun prequel to your perfect date night ensemble.

Pop over to Plum Pretty Sugar now for their Valentine’s Day promotion, where purchases made now through February 11th and over $50, will include a complimentary make-up case.
