True Blue Luxury Beauty from Nordstrom

In the past six months, I’ve entered a store for something other than food shopping exactly three times. Two of those times were visits to Nordstrom for in-store pick ups…the rest of the time, I’ve been ordering  online and am so grateful for the option! Time and again, I find the products that I need and the launches that I want on the Nordstrom site and today I am sharing some true blue favorites on heavy rotation as of late.

From hyper-nourishing body care to the the first lip product that I’ve finished in forever, this opulent range of carefully vetted beauty and skincare make the cut in my routine, each and every week.

*Augustinus Bader The Body Oil:

Lush, lightweight and instantly absorbed, I only need a small amount of this new oil to hydrate my limbs. I suggest applying post-shower when your skin is already a touch damp. It helps to lock in the moisture for hours.

*Augustinus Bader The Body Lotion:

Just a couple of pumps of this body cream does a masterful job of moisturizing on contact. I generally like to apply this in the morning before heading out for my daily walk with Johannah as it gives my skin a great protective barrier while imparting a gorgeous sheen. And, like all other Augustinus Bader products, it is completely and gloriously fragrance-free.

Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream:

My original love from 2017, I have gone through at least 5 bottles of this wondrous elixir. Anti-aging, pore-refining, brightening and soothing, it treats my skin with the utmost of care with each and every pump. 

*Augustinus Bader The Face Oil:

Since I’m such a devotee to the aforementioned Rich Cream, I wasn’t initially sure if I would find a place in my routine for this newer launch. Fast forward two months later and it’s a staple, especially as temperatures begin to drop and more moisture is appreciated. Like the Body Oil, it is deceptively simple and endlessly beautiful on the skin. I even like mixing it with foundation for a bespoke glow.

*Clé de Peau Long Lasting Hydrating Veil:

Liquid in texture yet somehow wildly moisturizing, this priming formula smoothes away pores and fine lines to create a porcelain canvas for the makeup to come.

*OUAI Detox Shampoo:

My bottle of this clarifying shampoo is all but finished which speaks volumes about its appeal and efficacy. When used once or twice a week, it deeply cleanses without stripping, leaving my hair bouncy, luminous and light. Oh, and it smells incredible….off to add another bottle to my cart.

Supergoop! Glowscreen SPF 40: My sunscreen of choice for the past year, I love how this formula renders a minimalist glow to the skin for SPF protection with a lit-from-within property. 

Supergoop! CC Screen 326 W:

 I’ve been reaching for this tinted base multiple times a week because it’s just so easy. A pea-sized amount yields medium coverage that simply looks like really good skin. The SPF 50 protection is 100% mineral, rare and amazing! Also, I easily get 10-12 hours of touch up-free wear, even on very hot and humid days. What’s not to love?

*Clé de Peau Beauté Radiant Fluid Foundation Matte O40:

A single pump of this recently launched base gives me immediate medium coverage with a natural skin finish. In the late summer BF 50 was my perfect match. However, now that we’re mid-fall, the slightly lighter O40 is more befitting of my current complexion. In case you’re in search of your match, I have swatches of all 24 shades HERE.

*La Prairie Essence-in-Foundation Mocha:

Worn in the images at the end of this post, this lightweight, skincare-rich, liquid-meets-cream base–housed in a genius pump compact–offers buildable light-to-medium coverage with a soft matte finish that looks multidimensional and fresh for hours.

Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream:

A modern classic, this cream bronzer builds the most perfect burnished glow to gently add dimension and warmth to the complexion. I like applying with a beauty sponge for a super natural diffused look.

*Givenchy Teint Couture Healthy Glow Bronzer Powder in N03:

Radiant yet pigmented for an ethereal effect, this gossamer light powder feels and looks like a blissful hybrid of bronzer and illuminator.

Hourglass Sculpture Unlocked Mini Ambient Lighting Edit Palette:

This limited edition holiday quad features four finely milled shades–bronzer, blush, highlight and finishing powder–for a full face in mere seconds. It’s a staple in my handbag of late. Also, it will definitely be a part of my packing list when I start traveling again!

Tender shimmering tones that instantly add light to the face in a single swipe. 

Charlotte Tilbury Jewel Pots Eyeshadow in Pillow Talk:

When given the choice, I prefer satin finishes over mattes and this palette auspiciously houses four pinky nude tones that deliver a sparkling result that is more luminescent than glittery for a decidedly grown up glow.

*Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Luxury Palette of Pops:

I am all for a single wash of color when in a hurry (of which I somehow always am) and this creamy formula in a tender pinky taupe tone takes care of business in a single swipe. Make it a makeup bag must! 

*Clé de Peau Beauté Eyeshadow:

Replete with four softly luminescent pastel shades, this limited edition quad is emblazoned with a delicate feather for the quintessential embodiment of form and function 

Lips…La Mer The Rejuvenating Hydration Set is a must.
