How to Shop the Best Beauty and Athleisure Deals from Nordstrom’s Biggest Sale of the Year

Nordstrom’s biggest sale event of the year has finally arrived, and the deals are better than ever. The mega-retailer historically offers huge savings on everything from the best leggings and comfortable sneakers to top-notch beauty and skincare products—and this year’s sale is no different. 

The sale officially begins today for Nordstrom cardholders, and opens to the general public in one week on Friday, July 19. If you’re not a Nordstrom cardholder just yet (but still want to shop these must-have deals right away), here’s how to get early access to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: Visit the Nordstrom site and apply for a Nordstrom retail card, Visa Signature card, or Visa platinum card. There’s no annual fee on any of the cards, and if your application is accepted, you’ll automatically become a Nordy Club member and gain access to tons of other membership perks (aside from just shopping the sale early). It really is that easy.

The sale ends and prices go back up for everyone on Sunday, August 4. 

We know it can get a bit overwhelming to sift through all the great discounts, so we’ve outlined the best deals to shop in each category—including athleisure fashion finds, shoes, and beauty—to make your online shopping experience that much easier.
