There are lots of beauty sales going on right now (Sephora’s Savings Event and Ulta’s Let’s Haul sale among them), and it seems Nordstrom didn’t want to be left out of the party. The retailer just launched a Beauty Savings Event, featuring up to 25 percent off select skin-care, makeup, hair-care, and fragrance products and running until April 20. Plus, if you’re a Nordy Club member, you’ll get triple the points on any beauty purchases. Below, I’ve rounded up everything from the sale that I’ve either tried or am eyeing, including a mini lighted compact mirror from Fancii, a deeply moisturizing hair oil from Leonor Greyl, and a golden ginkgo-shaped gua sha tool from Sisley Paris.
