I'm a Beauty Editor, and This Is What I'm Buying From Nordstrom's Big Sale

By Tamim Alnuweiri

However you feel about the inauguration of the holiday season aside, it does come with unequivocal good news—it's the season of mega sales. Nordstrom isn’t going to make you wait until actual Black Friday, either—it's already unleashed dozens of its mega deals, and I found the three best beauty ones.

The first product I recommend is Perricone MD’s 40 percent off Cold Plasma+ Sub-D Neck Treatment. One of the five-star reviewers said that the firming cream did in fact “quickly tighten up” their “[turkey] waddle” neck.

In terms of makeup, I recommend Armani’s four-piece makeup set, which is doubly-discounted; the sum of the individual products would run you $130, but the value set brings that down to $79, and then the 40 percent discount makes it just $47 now. The two biggest draws in this kit are the eye tints, which are perpetually popular and often out of stock.

Lastly, head for the T3 Stylemax Blow Dryer, which is now $150. Our InStyle Testers named it the best overall hair dryer for fine hair; they cited its light weight, speediness, and efficacy as the reasons.
