Too Faced is celebrating its twentieth birthday this year, and with the brand’s inclination for everything pink, flashy, and over-the-top, it’s going big on glitter and nostalgia for the milestone. And also: birthday sex!
It’s true: The brand is releasing a limited anniversary edition of its famous Better Than Sex Mascara, which is the most-pinned, top-selling prestige mascara in the U.S., appropriately named Better Than Birthday Sex. The good news: Neither the wand nor the formula is changing, so it’ll still give you the dark, thick, fluttery lashes it’s beloved for. The better news: the collectors’-item packaging features its same pale pink color but looks like it’s been rolled in a tub of glitter.
Aside from that b-day treat, the brand is also bringing back some of its original products with modern formulas and packaging. The collection’s biggest drop is the Then and Now Eyeshadow Palette. The packaging is dope, a light pink case embossed with both Too Faced’s original branding (it’s very nineties), and the present’s swirly glam font.
The palette pulls from the 10 original eyeshadows that the brand launched with in 1998, alongside 10 new iterations given a modern twist. The original set reads very Spice Girls, in the best possible way. Think sparkly pinks, silvers, purples, browns, and golds. And if you’ve opened a Too Faced palette over the past 10 years, you’ll probably recognize the brand’s signature sparkly lavender. In the bottom row, the 2018 half of the palette incorporates a few mattes, alongside the OG glitters rendered in Instagram’s favorite foiled, high-shine tones. Too Faced has had fun with scent-themed collections recently, and this new palette joins its Peach, Chocolate, and Cocoa lines with a birthday-cake-scented flavor.
Lip-wise, Too Faced is launching 10 Metallic Sparkle Lipsticks. Eight of those callback to the brand’s 1998 launch, which means they’re high-shine, glitter-infused shades of ruby, blue, gold, copper, crimson, fuchsia, purple, and turquoise. Two new colors join the bunch, a metallic taupe with a dark gold, glittered tube, and a sparkly, fluorescent pink that’s very Glam Barbie. Lipstick in the nineties was notorious for its chalky finish, so the archived lipsticks’ ingredients got a zhuzh with the addition of avocado oil to moisturize and smooth things out. Scroll on for a glimpse at the new products to come, all of which are hitting Sephora shelves today.
There’s a new beauty sale announced every other week online—it’s great, not complaining—but if there’s one major shopping blowout we look forward to all year, it’s the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. For three and a half weeks every July, the retailer cuts prices across the board, spanning fashion, home, accessories, and beauty, and while other sales maybe piece together leftovers that didn’t fly off shelves, not Nordstrom. The picks are prestige and often exclusive to the sale, so it’s a yearly destination. So much so, in fact, the website crashed last year as soon as its cardholder presale started.
Once you see the discounts it’s obvious why. Below, you’ll find limited edition gift sets (that many bargain hunters have been known to buy and hoard until the holidays), big-ticket brands that rarely ever offer deals (like Diptyque and La Mer), and tons of cool indie lines you can test for a fraction of the cost—sometimes for more than 50 percent off. There’s literally no catch, except for the fact that with a total of 450 products to sift through, narrowing the options down can be daunting, and seeing products sell out before your eyes cues up the worst kind of stress. That’s why our beauty editors combed through each and every deal to narrow down the list to absolute best deals. Nordstrom Rewards Members get early access from July 12 through July 19, while the official sale runs from July 20 to August 5 for the rest of us. Start planning your list from the 2018 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale now—things will sell out fast.

Maybe you sneaked a peek at the offerings during early access, maybe you’ve been waiting to bask in the glory of all the deep discounts. No matter your approach, the moment you’ve been waiting for has come: The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is open to the public.
From July 20 through August 5, the retailer is hosting its largest, most highly anticipated sale of the year, with brands like Rebecca Minkoff, J.Crew, BlankNYC, and many other favorites seeing their prices slashed for a precious two and a half weeks. Already Nordstrom cardholders have scoped out early deals on everything from beauty products to shoes and handbags—but regular shoppers are coming in now and being greeted by new products and markdowns that’ll definitely leave them satisfied. We’re talking summer dresses to wear as soon as the delivery arrives, layering pieces to transition your wardrobe at the end of the season, and fall sweaters to cozy up in for months after that. And plenty of those solid buys ring in at $200 or less.
If you’ve been reaping the benefits of early access, you already know: The 2018 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is good. Every year, the massive cleanout comes at that point where we’re both looking to refresh our summer wardrobes and starting to think about fall fashion, but most of the bags currently on offer aren’t particularly seasonal. Translation: Go forth and shop right now for whatever season you choose. From classic Madewell bucket bags to designer picks from Kate Spade, Tory Burch, MCM, and Longchamp, here are 15 bags and wallets worth grabbing during Nordstrom’s early access period before they sell out.
