Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale Ends This Weekend—Here's What To Shop Before It's Over
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale ends on Sunday, so don't miss our deals experts' curated list of the best markdowns before time runs out. Over the next couple of days, you can still shop over 6,000 discounts on top brands like Béis, Ray-Ban and Supergoop. Among the sea of offers, we've found markdowns on editor-favorite products, including 40% off our pick for the most comfortable sandals for standing and 38% off our favorite blow dry brush for fine hair. All the best deals to shop from Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale before it ends this weekend. ILLUSTRATION: FORBES / PHOTOS: RETAILER The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has been live to the public since July 12, so many coveted deals have already sold out. But don't fret—there's still a vast selection of offers on good products up for grabs, like this Spanx half-zip sweater and this mini set of Le Labo perfumes. Up ahead, we've listed the best deals still available and separated them by category for easy browsing. 'I have a lot of items in my Nordstrom cart, but the product I'm most excited to order is these Dolce Vita shoes,' says deals and coupons writer Bianca Alvarez. 'After hearing from my friends and family how comfortable they are, I knew I needed to get a pair.' These everyday sneakers are available in four colors and multiple sizes—Nordstrom recommends ordering 1/2 size up. 'I'm not kidding when I say I own (and have tried) most of T3's catalogue, and one of my absolute favorites is this styling brush,' shares Alvarez. 'With multiple heat and airflow settings, I can turn my freshly showered hair into a smooth, salon-like blowout in just a few minutes. I love gifting this to everyone because of how user-friendly it is (regardless of their skill level or hair type).' This reusable water bottle is large enough to hold tons of water and ice, but the best part is that it keeps drinks cold for hours. That's because it has a double-wall insulation that maintains cold temperatures for up to 24 hours (and hot drinks for up to 12 hours). 'This lip and cheek stain has quickly become a summer staple in my makeup routine,' says deals editor Maya Gandara. 'I can apply it wherever I want a little pop of color and not worry about it fading or slipping off—even on super sweaty days.' Zella's leggings are some of the most durable options on the market—Alvarez still owns her first pair from high school. These are supportive, stretchy and have a buttery feel that makes it extremely comfortable for working out and lounging around the house. 'Hourglass's makeup brushes are by far my favorite because of how soft and versatile they are,' says Alvarez. 'With this double-ended brush, I'm able to gently powder my face and reach smaller areas (like my under-eyes) with precision. The setting powder melts into my skin, keeping my makeup on for hours without looking overdone—the ultimate goal.' 'If I could only wear one sock brand for the rest of my life, it would be Bombas,' says Gandara. 'They hold up well through repeated wears and runs through the washing machine, and offer a level of comfort all other pairs in my drawer have yet to beat. I'll personally be stocking up on this set that features one of my favorite ankle sock designs from the brand.' 'I already own the Dermaflash Luxe+ and swear by it, so I'm looking to pick up this other skincare tool from the brand while it's under $100," says Gandara. "Anything that can unclog pesky pores and help keep acne at bay is an immediate yes for me. I also appreciate that the tool doesn't feel painful or irritate the skin, making it easy to try by myself in the comfort of my own home.' 'My favorite season to dress for is Autumn—I love a cute jacket, sweater and boot moment more than anyone," shares Gandara. "I'm already planning ahead by picking up a pair of these knee-high boots that are on sale in seven different colors. They also come in sizes for wide calfs, if you ever struggle to find a pair that fits just right.'

Our favorite wet-dry vacuum is 40% off right now on Amazon
Spring is the perfect time to upgrade your cleaning appliances, and one of the best places to start is with a versatile vacuum. Tineco's line of smart wet-dry vacuums are ideal for tackling food spills, crumbs and leaks on hardwood floors and more, giving you two appliances in one. Right now, the brand's Floor One S3 vacuum is 40% off on Amazon. The multifaceted appliance has the capabilities of both a mop and an cordless upright vacuum, but it won't be on sale for long. Below, I talk more about the vacuum's features and how you can work into your cleaning schedule this spring. 4.1-star average rating from 33,035 reviews on Amazon Tineco's Floor One S3 does more than your average vacuum. It's a wet-dry vacuum, meaning it cleans just like an absorbent microfiber mop and an upright vacuum with thorough suctioning. It has two separate water tanks — one for clean water and another for dirty — and has a screen that displays the tool's cleaning status (for example, debris detection mode), runtime (it has a maximum of 35 minutes), adjustable suction power and symbols to indicate maintenance alerts. It also comes with a charging base, cleaning solution, HEPA filter, brush roller and handheld cleaning tool. NBC Select associate reporter Bianca Alvarez has a similar model from Tineco (the iFloor Breeze 3), and says that it only takes roughly 10 minutes to clean her entire two-bedroom apartment. 'I sweep before using my Tineco so by the time I actually need to use it, it can effectively get the things my broom missed and focus on cleaning my floors,' she says. 'When I'm finished, I can see just how clean it made my floors by looking at them and also seeing how much the dirty water tank got filled.' Why trust NBC Select? clean grout, get rid of mold and sanitize a mattress.

Amazon's got sneakers on sale — and they're actually good
