NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE 2021

Hey girl! It is that time of the year again… The Nordstrom Anniversary sale! There is kind of a lot of controversy in regards to this sale and you either love it or you hate it. Personally, I do not go nuts over the sale because at the end of the day it is just stuff and you do not need it all. HOWEVER, I do think everyone should have a pair of the SPANX leggings, they are a MUST if you do not already have a pair. 😉

I am also not a huge fan of seeing the SAME content on IG stories from popular influencers who treat the sale like the “Super Bowl of swipes-ups”. It is just annoying to me! So, instead of following the influencer crowd, I decided to put together items that I actually own, love, and would repurchase again. Let’s get into it!

I own these booties in all three colors and although I did not really get to wear them last year due to covid they are by far the most comfortable boot to walk all day in. TRUST ME, I wore these day/night walking through downtown Chicago. I specifically like the open toe and the side cut out. I think it makes the boot stand out and look more stylish.

Okay, let’s talk boobs! It is extremely difficult for me to find a bra that actually fits COMFORTABLY. I really love these two brands because the quality is incredible and a great fit for those of us that are more on the busty size. I wear a 32G.

Nothing major in this category, just two products that I use quite often. I have been using AVEDA products for over 10 years now and I love everything about the brand. The ingredients are clean and I owe how healthy my hair is to them!

Moving on to the ORIBE dry shampoo and texturizing spray… I use the dry shampoo a lot, but I have not tried the texturizing spray just yet. This will be one of my Nsale purchases this year so I can re-stock on the dry shampoo and test out the texturizing spray. My favorite thing about this brand is all of their products smell AMAZING!

Skincare has become EXTREMELY important to me and listen to me when I say INVEST IN YOUR SKIN!!! I started my skincare journey in 2019 and have become obsessed with researching products and educating myself on what really works and the type of ingredients brands use. Sunday Riley has become one of my absolute favorite brands to re-purchase their products. Clarins is also another brand that I am going to look into more after falling in love with this double serum. I use it every day, morning and night. It is light, doesn’t feel sticky, and has definitely brightened my cheek area where my cystic acne was the worst. Excited to try the eye cream that comes in the set!!

Real quick on the setting spray. I do not wear makeup a whole lot since I work from home. However, if I go out with my girlfriends or have an event this setting spray is a game-changer (especially in the summertime). I was struggling with a specific foundation that I wasn’t loving, but it was pricey so I wanted to make it work. The foundation kept smearing and I just felt like it was not good even though people RAVE about this brand. I spilled all of my tea to a professional makeup artist and said she swore by Urban Decay’s setting spray. I had never really used a settings spray before because I would usually use MAC’s hydro charge mist (which is not a setting spray). I still use both, but it is nice to have this a part of the sale so I can keep one and gift the other.

Now scent. Flowerbomb is my absolute favorite. I love the story behind it and it just truly speaks to my personality. VIKTOR & ROLF came up with the name Flowerbomb and said to one another that the bottle needed to reflect this feeling of something that has an aggressive edge, but also something very glamorous and luxurious. Thus, the diamond grenade bottle was designed. The scent is an explosive floral bouquet, unexpected and ultra-feminine, delicious and sensual. Parfum is always expensive, so the fact that this comes in a set with a full-size bottle is a very good deal.
