Makeup deals on the Nordstrom Sale!

Each year I focus so much on clothes and shoes during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale that I forget to take advantage of the AMAZING deals on makeup. Well, not this year! 
The products here are tried and true, and I love them all. Nothing crazy here...all essentials that are game-changers on the beauty front.

Wrap me up....in a discounted sweater


Amy is my name and ponchos and sweaters are my game. 
Seriously, it's almost embarrassing how many I own and how often I wear them. 
During the Nordstrom sale each year I buy ponchos and sweaters with the likeness of chipmunks storing nuts for winter. 



I am obsessed with this and while it's discounted by $125, it's' still pricey. 
Still, I may "need" it.

DEAL ALERT! 
Everyone single one of you needs a long cardigan. It's ideal for those days you need to pull it together but don't want to make much effort. 
You simply can't beat this price AND is comes in 7 colors.

Could this be any cuter? I think not. And, it's only $64 during the sale. 
Plus, it comes in 3 colors...but the blue and ivory are my faves.

Speaking of stocking up, here is a round-up of more favorites.

Summer Hair Tips

Ah, summer. Nothing like crazy humidity and sweat on the back of your neck to make your hair look nice. But don't fret! We've got some tips for you to give you the best summer hair imaginable.

Big Braids


Braids are a great way to embellish your updos in summer. So how do you get them to look thick like a beauty blogger? Volume powder. Sprinkle volume powder on your braid, pat it in, and then gently pull on the braid to make it wider. The volume powder will keep it in place and your braid will look beautiful! 


Curly Girl


Ponytails are great to keep your hair of your neck in the heat, but what to do when they are falling a little flat? Try this trick - throw your hair in a ponytail first and THEN curl the pony with a curling wand. This will give you the volume and style you would get from curling all of your hair, but will save you loads of time!


Frizz Out


Humidity is the arch nemesis of hair. The best way to fight it? Never let your hair go naked...as in, always use product! Argan oils and smoothing creams go a long way, just be sure to skip applying them to your scalp to avoid looking greasy!
