It's this time of year when all shopping addicts try to get rid of as much money as possible in the shortest amount of time, also known as Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. To help you navigate this huge sale I selected the best deals from French beauty brands, whether you're looking for makeup, skincare or fragrance. The sale started today (unless you have a Nordstrom credit card and had early access) and will last until August 7, but don't wait too long, the best deals will sell out much sooner! There are also many gift-with-purchase offers, including gifts from Lancome and YSL. You can click on the images or product names to be taken directly to the product page on nordstrom.com (affiliate links, so your clicks help me keep Beaumiroir running!).


Makeup

Dior

Dior has a whole anniversary collection that's exclusive to this event, with a blush palette, two shades of nail lacquer, two eyeshadow singles, a shadow and liner stick duo and a lipstick. You won't be able to find any of these products anywhere else in North America!



Lancôme

My favorite brand has a great set if you want to test their best-selling mascaras, with 3 different formulas, a lash primer, a liner pencil and a bottle of their famous Bi-Facil eye makeup remover. Unfortunately this kit doesn't include my favorite mascara, Grandiôse, but you get Hypnôse Drama, Hypnôse Custom Volume and Définicils! As far as I can tell everything is travel-size except for the Cil Booster XL base which is full size.


YSL

YSL has two amazing lip sets on sale. They both contain a Rouge Volupte Shine Oil-in-Stick (read my first impressions of this formula), a Glossy Stain and the clear Plump Up Glossy Stain in a gorgeous cosmetics bag. There's a Rebel Nude set with neutral shades in a black bag and a Rock Pink set with everything pink! The price is really good at $72 for a $108 value.


Skincare


Clarins

A lot of brands offer duos of their best-sellers at a reduced price during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale, and Clarins did just that with their highly regarded UV Plus Anti-pollution SPF50 broad spectrum sunscreen. It's a sheer and lightweight fluid that's invisible and works well under makeup, making it a great choice for daily protection. During the sale you can get two for $62 instead of $84!


Evian

You know I love my Evian water spray in the summer, so I'm super excited about this set: you can get SIX 1.7 oz bottles for only $21 - that's 50% off!! Share it with a friend, stock up for yourself, keep a bottle at home, one in the car, one in the office... I might actually get two of these 6-pack sets because I know I'll use them fast!



Fragrance


Cartier

I love the Baiser Volé fragrance, it's one of the most elegant and feminine scent I know (you can read how I discovered this perfume in my review post), and Cartier has a great set to offer during the sale, with a 3.3 oz eau de parfum bottle, a miniature, and a hand cream. It's a great deal at $125 for a $186 value and you'll get a very pretty Cartier box too!
