Mark your calendars! The annual Nordstrom Beauty Anniversary Sale starts on July 20th and runs through August 5th at nordstrom.com and Nordstrom stores! I've never actually shopped this sale, but after seeing a preview of the limited-edition , exclusive beauty items, I will definitely be logging on to shop the morning of July 20th and may even head over to my local Nordstrom this weekend.

It will definitely be Christmas in July for me, and for some of the people on my gifting list! This sale is perfect to stock up on several different items and sets, break them down and create gifts to include your friends' and relatives' favorites. Over 100 fragrance, cosmetics, hair care, skincare and men's grooming brands will be participating, including MAC, Nars, Laura Mercier and Smashbox.
