How to Get Free Beauty Products During Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale

All products featured on Allure are independently selected by our editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, we may earn an affiliate commission.

With general access (aka, open to everyone) for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale in full swing, it's time to fill up your cart before the hottest deals of the season start selling out and disappearing for good. This is the retailer's biggest and most-anticipated promotion of the year, so there are tons of deals to sort through and take advantage of. 

Case in point: There will be a slew of free beauty gifts with purchase available during the sale, meaning you could rack up a serious haul of makeup, fragrance, skin-care, and hair products just by picking up stuff that's probably already on sale.

If that sounds too good to be true, check out all of the gift-with-purchase options for yourself, and you'll find a wide breadth of offers from Allure-beloved brands such as Briogeo, Clinique, Kiehl's, La Mer, and many more. 

Just as a heads up: Most of the free gifts come in deluxe sample sizes, but when we're talking completely free products with beauty purchases we're already making, that's hardly a downside. Most offers will be automatically applied at checkout once you hit the minimum purchase requirement (unless there's a promotion code listed), so it couldn't be any easier to get your fill of free products. 

The list of included offers maxes out at nearly 200, but here are a few stand-out sets and products that caught our eye immediately:

La Mer

La Mer Revitalizing Soothing Collection

As if La Mer being on sale wasn't already enough to tickle your fancy, you can snag a five-piece set with deluxe samples of the brand's best sellers to wrap your entire face and body in a loving hug of moisture: Crème de la Mer Moisturizing Cream (0.24 ounces), The Replenishing Oil Exfoliator (0.17 ounces), The Eye Balm Intense (0.1 ounces), The Revitalizing Hydrating Serum (0.17 ounces) and an exclusive tote with a $375 La Mer purchase. Get your pampering on. (Online only.)
