The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is now officially open to everyone (not just cardholders), and our editors dug through all of the deals to find what's worth adding to your cart this year.
Shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
Best of all, many of Nordstrom's deals include brands we've tested in the GH Institute. After scouring the sale, my personal favorite picks include this Clinique moisturizer that our pros named one of the best skincare products of all time (!), and this top-tested carry-on suitcase I refuse to travel without (it's $87 off).
Why we like it: I recently purchased a pair of these baggy Levi's jeans, and they've already become my new go-to pants. The loose-fitting silhouette and mid-rise '90s fit looks great with sneakers, flats and kitten heels alike.
What you should know: Levi's is our best overall jeans brand for its wide range of sizes and "rigid" fabric that gets cozier with every wear. This pair is available in sizes 24 to 32 and has a 32-inch inseam.
Why we like it: According to our experts, Le Creuset dutch ovens are a worthy investment — especially when they're nearly $100 off. The brand's enameled cast iron cookware offers even heat distribution and its coated cooking surface is easy to clean, per our Lab tests.
What you should know: This 2.75-quart Dutch oven is on sale in six different colors — and you can shop plenty of other Le Creuset cookware items on sale at Nordstrom right now, too.
The Ordinary Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid Skin Support Set
Why we like it: Per the brand, these niacinamide and hyaluronic acid serums work in unison to help brighten and hydrate skin respectively.
Plus, Dr. Joshua Zeichner previously told Good Housekeeping that niacinamide "has been shown to soothe the skin and even out hyperpigmentation."
What you should know: While our experts haven't tested this specific set, The Ordinary's peptide serum is our best copper peptide serum.
Why we like it: These colored wine glasses are a fun way to spruce up your bar cart, and they're nearly $30 off. Per the brand, these tapered glasses are made from European crystal and stand 9.5 inches tall.
What you should know: While we haven't tested these specific glasses, our experts in the Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab previously tested other items from the brand and named them to our lists of the best coupe glasses and cocktail shakers.
Why we like it: This throw is consistently one of our favorite Nordstrom Anniversary Sale finds. Barefoot Dreams makes the best luxury throw blanket we've tested, thanks to its soft and stretchy fabric.
What you should know: The CozyChic throw blanket is on sale in four different colors, including this season-agnostic periwinkle option.
Clinique Jumbo Size Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+
Why we like it: One of the best skincare products we've tested in the Lab of all time — and GH Beauty Award-winner — the classic Clinique lotion effectively hydrates dry skin while still feeling lightweight. Plus, it's our pros' best face moisturizer pick for combination skin.
What you should know: Measurements taken with the Lab’s Corneometer device, which assesses skin hydration levels, showed that this product increased skin's moisture by 43% on average over 24 hours after application. Just note that it has a distinct scent that may be polarizing.
Why we like it: According to GH Institute Executive Director Lexie Sachs, this 100% Mulberry silk pillowcase has a silky smooth feel over time — even after repeated washing.
What you should know: Mulberry silk is considered the highest quality silk because the fibers are more uniform, making the fabric smoother and more durable, per our experts.
RELATED: We Tested Blissy's Silk Pillowcase — Here's Why We Love It
Why we like it: Our pros have tested several different vacuums from the brand over the years, but the V15 Detect stands out for its innovative attachment that shines a laser on the floor to spotlight debris. The Pro, in particular, includes a second battery (per our experts).
What you should know: The V15 Detect Pro has not been tested by our experts, but we've tested the V15 Detect, which is a very similar model.
Why we like it: Parachute is one of our editors' favorite bath and bedding brands for its soothing colors and durable construction. This soft rib bath towel is made from long-staple Turkish cotton, per the brand.
What you should know: Parachute has a reputation for great towels. While we haven't tested this specific soft rib style, the brand's waffle towel was named our best overall.
Why we like it: Away is our experts' best luggage brand for carry-ons — and this one, in particular, was tested by Emma Seymour, the associate director of the Good Housekeeping Institute's Textiles, Paper and Apparel Lab. She was impressed by how much she could fit into the suitcase prior to a week-long vacation.
What to know: Several different Away suitcases have already sold out during the first few days of this sale. At the time of publication, this is the last style that's marked down.
Why we like it: Not only does this Supergoop duo include the brand's best-selling sunscreen formulated to act as a primer underneath makeup, but it also has a smooth-gliding sunscreen stick that boasts SPF-40 protection.
What you should know: The Supergoop Unscreen Sunscreen is one of our experts' picks for the best face sunscreens.
Why we like it: Béis is known for its aesthetically-pleasing luggage that doesn't sacrifice function. It's one of our pros' favorite luggage brands because it incorporates smart features designed to make traveling easier.
What you should know: We've tested several of the brand's suitcases and weekender bags and have been impressed by their spacious interiors.
Why we like it: Zella is one of our favorite activewear brands, especially for loose athletic tops. This tank features a high neck and hip-skimming crop, perfect for pairing with your favorite high-waisted running shorts or leggings.
What you should know: A few reviewers note that this tank top runs slightly small and that the white colorway is see-through.
Why we like it: When we tested these leggings in the Lab, our analysts appreciated the durable construction. According to the brand, these are made of sweat-wicking fabric, and you can shop them on sale in two different colors.
What you should know: Some of our testers reported that the wide waistband on these leggings rolled down during exercise.
Bombas Mid-Ankle Supima Cotton-Blend Socks
Why we like it: As an avid runner, I refuse to wear any sock brand except Bombas. These socks have honeycomb-structured arch support, and they were the only socks that didn't give me blisters while marathon training last fall.
What you should know: Bombas is the brand behind our best overall socks for women. Plus, for every sock sold, the brand donates a pair to those in need.
