I noticed that there are lots of beauty items now on sale at Nordstrom! Prices on over 2,000 beauty items have been marked down, many due to Price Matching, but some are just on sale. I am not sure when the sale ends so go check it out! So many of these items would make wonderful holiday gifts (to give to others or to keep for yourself!). Some of my favorite holiday items:

• On a budget? The Illume Candles Aromatic Reed Diffuser is beautifully gift boxed and is now on sale for just $20.98 (was $35)
• Big spender? The Nordstrom Exclusive Clarisonic Plus Passion Fruit set is now just $180 (was $225)
• The Nordstrom Exclusive Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Eye Set is a $97 value that was selling for $62 but is now on sale for just $48
• The Butter London The Art of Alchemy Nail Collection is a $100 value that was selling for $65 but is now on sale for just $48.75
• The Smashbox On The Rocks Photo Op Shadow Palette is a $135 value that sells elsewhere for $36 but Nordstrom has it right now for just $18
• Shipping is always free with every purchase at Nordstrom

In case you missed it in my previous posts this week, Lord and Taylor is now running their Friends and Family Sale!
