I’m organizing a late-summer refresh—12 beauty items on sale that I’m purchasing to get ready.

      (Image credit: @kaitlyn_mclintock) As someone who spends a lot of time online, I've come across numerous "late summer reset" videos on Instagram and TikTok. For those unfamiliar, it's a popular trend that treats August as a second new year—serving as a reminder that it's not too late to revisit yearly goals and establish healthier habits. While I typically find the ongoing pressure for self-reinvention from trends like this to be overwhelming, this one feels different. It has a softer, more intentional vibe—more like a gentle reminder than a strict resolution.

      While many late-summer reset videos focus on deep cleaning, habit tracking, and similar activities, as a beauty editor, I thought it would be fitting to apply this concept to my routines for skin, hair, and makeup. It's an ideal moment to do this because the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is happening until August 9, offering numerous high-quality beauty products at significant discounts. Below, I’ve listed 11 discounted items I'm adding to my cart to enhance my skin, hair, and makeup as we move into fall.

      **Prada Hand Cream & Lip Balm 2-Piece Gift Set**

      I adore little luxuries that enhance my day, and Prada's Hand Cream and Lip Balm fit the bill perfectly. They're elegant, stylish, and, most importantly, well-formulated to hydrate, soften, and care for the delicate skin on hands and lips. I firmly believe that this elegant set should be in every bag and on every desk.

      **Augustinus Bader 6-Pack the Eye Patches**

      Speaking of small luxuries, I enjoy having a stash of eye patches readily available. I apply them almost every morning to hydrate, reduce puffiness, and combat my persistent dark circles. Although I've tried various ones since summer began, this Augustinus Bader set is currently at the top of my list. The hydrogel eye patches contain hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and TFC8 (the brand's unique blend of amino acids, high-grade vitamins, and synthesized molecules) designed to enhance the appearance of under eyes in just 20 minutes.

      **Kiehl's Since 1851 Ultra Facial Cleanser Duo**

      This is one of my all-time favorite cleansers, which is no small feat. Thanks to a formula rich in glycerin and squalane, along with amino acid-based surfactants, it effectively removes sweat, oil, sunscreen, and leftover makeup without stripping my skin.

      **Kiehl's Since 1851 Ultra Facial Cream**

      If I'm adding the Ultra Facial Cleanser to my cart, the Ultra Facial Cream is a must-have too. I've been using this product for over ten years, on and off. It's a tried-and-true formula that I recommend to almost everyone due to its moisturizing, soothing, and softening properties without irritation. Made with glacial glycoprotein and olive-derived squalane, it helps to strengthen the skin barrier and keeps my skin hydrated throughout the day.

      **PHLUR Vanilla Skin Forever Duo**

      If you know me, you’ll recognize that I’m a huge fan of Phlur fragrances, and Vanilla Skin is among my favorites. It’s warm, spicy, and sophisticated, featuring notes of pink pepper, sugar crystals, jasmine, cashmere wood, vanilla, and sandalwood. Essentially, it’s the ideal scent for transitioning from summer to fall.

      **Laura Mercier Effortless Eyes Caviar Stick Eye Shadow Trio Set**

      These eye shadow sticks are incredibly easy to use. It's a simple, "swipe on, blend with your fingers, and you’re ready" approach. The shades are also very chic—Cobblestone (matte taupe), Vanilla Kiss (matte cream), and Strapless (soft nude shimmer)—perfect for wearing alone or layering.

      **HOURGLASS Unlocked Instant Extensions Mascara & Eyeliner Set**

      I know a straightforward eye makeup routine will serve me well come fall. After applying an eye shadow stick, I simply need some eyeliner along the lash line and a coat of fluttery mascara. That’s why I'm also picking up this set, which includes a full-size Unlocked Instant Extensions Mascara in Ultra Black (a tubing mascara providing dramatic length, lift, and definition) and a full-size Voyeur Waterproof Gel Eyeliner in Obsidian (a waterproof gel eyeliner with 12-hour wear).

      **Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo Duo**

      A reset wouldn’t be complete without stocking up on essential beauty basics. In this case, it’s Living Proof's Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo Duo. It employs fast-absorbing powders to absorb oil and sweat, delivering a clean scent along with added volume and body, and it's currently available at a deep discount. What more could you ask for?

      **Slip Pure Silk Queen Pillowcase**

      Using a silk pillowcase might seem unnecessary or even
