I love, nay, I LIVE for a good sale. Let me start off by saying I’ve never been a Nordstrom fanatic. And on a college budget, who can be? I’ll often opt for a knock-off without an ounce of remorse. However (unless you live under a rock) you’ve probably heard about the phenomenal discounts that Nordstrom has been having. I’m happy to announce folks that it’s not just mob mentality, there’s actually quality stuff! If you’ve been saving up to splurge on designer products or debating on whether to buy that new decor for the home? Now is the time to take the plunge! I’ve divided up my wish list into 3 parts: Beauty Finds, Fall Essentials, and End of Summer Must-Haves. The best part? Most of these items are under $100. So time to crunch some numbers and browse around: It’s sale time!
Beauty Finds:
I’ve experimented more and more with makeup within the past few months and it’s been so much fun! Learning what works best for your skin tone and style is a process, but I guess I must endure. Have you noticed how perfect eyebrows are the new black? They really can change your entire face shape! That’s why I invested in Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Studio kit. It’s waterproof and guaranteed to last all day! Are my eyebrows on fleek yet? Stay tuned. The contour kit, also by Anastasia, helps create a flawless look that rivals Kim Kardashian and is sworn by beauty experts everywhere. When they finally make a palette available in darker shades, I’ll be the first one in line. The Voluspa Candles along with the Stila Cosmetics lip gloss are definite wants for the future. I’ve been a fan of both brands for a long time! Finally, we have the Clarisonic. I’m going to be honest guys, it’s my go to product for my skin. A lot of people ask if it’s really a necessity. “Why buy a Clarisonic when I could just use my hands?” Think of it as the difference between a manual toothbrush and an automatic one. Do you get it now? There’s an undeniable difference on how well it cleans your skin. If you’re ready to take your skin from 0-100 real quick, this is the product for you.
Fall Essentials
I want it to be fall. I want it to be fall. I want it to be fall. Maybe if I say it enough times, my wish will come true? Probably not. But I’m so ready for football games, cooler weather, and layering cute outfits combined with my favorite pair of ankle boots. I’m a firm believer that everyone looks better when it’s colder. Perhaps it’s because I’ve got a thing for guys in cable knit sweaters and automatically compliment a girl’s chunky scarf. I decided to add to my wardrobe the perfect hat to instantly dress up my fall attire and purchased the floppy felt hat pictured below. Along with all of the adorable over-sized sweaters and cardigans, pretty much everything they had online was almost a small click away from the “add to cart” button. Sadly, I practiced restraint. But that doesn’t mean I couldn’t share my fall favorites with you guys first!
End of Summer Must-Haves
Wow. Just Wow. There’s not a single thing on here that I couldn’t imagine myself wearing! My birthday is coming up in just a few short days, and I’ve emailed this entire set to my family. You know. Just as a friendly hint. The scalloped white skirt is perfect for that last summer hoorah with friends to that classy-outside bar you’ve been eyeing for weeks. Looking for an everyday watch? This Kate Spade has been a great addition to my jewelry collection. I’ve been searching for a classic-styled watch for months for non-formal occasions and had so many options to choose from. I decided to go with this and couldn’t be happier! The watch, along with the Tory Burch wrap bracelet and Kendra Scott earrings are literally my #jewelrygoals.
