This set includes two full-sized, 4 oz. bottles of Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant (which are normally $29.50 each!).
Promising review: "People, let me just say I purchased this last year during the anniversary sale and I was skeptical, but hoping for the best. The very first time I used it, after I woke up the next morning, I was a BELIEVER! My skin looked noticeably smoother (no joke!) and refreshed, and my little forehead wrinkles even looked a little more smoothed out!!!! Overnight!!! I was in disbelief how this could make a noticeable difference in one use! I gave a bottle to my college daughter and she said it made a little breakout go away almost overnight. I’m not sure how this works, and if it will work for everyone the same way, but we are both believers now!" —ShoeMom4U
Price: $36 (valued at $59)
This set includes:
–Jumbo-size Perfect hair Day Shampoo (24 oz. bottle with pump)
–Jumbo-size Perfect hair Day Conditioner (24 oz. bottle with pump)
–Perfect hair Day Dry Shampoo (4 oz.): cleans hair, eliminates oil, sweat and odor, uses time-released fragrances to keep hair smelling fresh
Promising review: "I was so excited to see this trio show up on the Anniversary Sale. My hair and scalp has always absorbed every smell in my environment much to my disdain — fumes/smoke from cooking, fire pit smoke from neighbors during summer nights, just everything. I also work out 3-4x/week so as much as I'd like to go without washing my hair for several days, I just don't have that luxury because my hair gets pretty greasy and gross. I have tried sooo many different brands and types of shampoos, conditioners, and dry shampoos, and they have always disappointed in one area or another. The Living Proof PhD line is truly a godsend for my hair. It actually keeps my hair feeling and smelling cleaner longer, even if it's just 1-2 days. The shampoo, in particular, literally makes my hair squeaky clean. And the dry shampoo is second to none — it smells lovely, fresh, and clean and does a fantastic job!" —Tinkerbell26
Price: $89 (valued at $142)
This set includes:
–Original Makeup Sponge Applicator
–Chill Makeup Sponge Applicator
–Glitter Blender Defender Case (it can hold up to two *damp* Beautyblenders!)
Promising review: "Being in my 50s, I love using Beautyblender sponges to apply my foundation. Provides better application with much less tugging on my skin. Awesome deal getting two plus the travel container!" —4blossom
Price: $35 (valued at $54)
The set includes:
–Supermud Clearing Treatment: a cute fave made with kaolin clay, activated-x charcoal, and a blend of six acids to loosen dead skin cells, even skin tone, minimize pores, and help you on your journey to clearer skin
–Superserum 6-Acid Refining Treatment: an exfoliating serum with six potent acids that help loosen dead skin cells, even the look of skin tone and texture and minimize the appearance of fine lines
Promising review (for Supermud Clearing Treatment): "I LOVE this mask!! I'm currently in the process of overhauling my skincare routine and trying ALL the samples, and this is the first product I've found that I don't think I can live without. I tried one sample and immediately bought the full size. I have a lot of blackheads on my nose and enlarged pores on my cheeks, and I love how I can actually SEE this mask working and pulling all the junk out of my pores. I wouldn't say it clears everything up instantly and I still have some blackheads on my nose, but I can definitely tell that my skin feels smoother after using this mask." —LolaGraceH
Price: $79 (valued at $124)
This set includes:
–Travel-size Midnight Recovery Concentrate: an overnight facial oil serum to smooth skin texture overnight with the help of botanical oils including lavender, squalane, and evening primrose
–Travel-size Ultra Facial Cream: provides 24-hour hydration, thanks to glacial glycoprotein, which is derived from sea glaciers, and olive-derived squalane
Promising review (for Midnight Recovery Concentrate): "Honestly I think I've yet to come across a better oil than this. It's got a light consistency, so you don't have to wait for ages for it to sink into your skin. And since it's so light, a little goes a long way with this once. And yet it's so nourishing! It smells of lavender, which is very nice in the evening." —Zita
Price: $32 (valued at $45)
This set includes:
–Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter in Spanish Rose Glow (a soft rosy pink)
–Glow Gloss in Rose Quartz
–Travel-size Backlight Priming Filter
–Travel-size Hydra-Mist Set & Refresh Powder
Promising review: "I absolutely love this primer! I’ll often wear it with nothing else on my face and almost every time that I do, I get asked if I just had a facial because my complexion is glowing. This is definitely my go-to, especially now that I just had my first baby and I often find myself tight on time for applying makeup." —Megan6
Price: $48 (valued at $90)
This set includes:
–Mini Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Color Balm in Super Strawberry, Heaping Hazelnut, Whole Lotta Honey and Mighty Mimosa
–Mini Chubby Stick Intense Moisturizing Lip Color Balm in Grandest Grape and Curviest Caramel
Promising review (for Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Color Balm): "I don't love heavy lipsticks, but often wish the lighter glosses had better color. This one does! There is good color, but it is still lightweight and goes on smoothly. I love the Super Strawberry in the summer and will be looking for a fall color soon!" —hkl25
Price: $22.50 (valued at $35)
This set includes:
–Pretty Rich Diamond Light Eyeshadow Palette
–Full-size Rich & Dazzling Lip Gloss in Raisin The Roof
–Full-size Better Than Sex Mascara
Promising review: "This makeup set is so nice. The palette was very pigmented and has glitter eyeshadow that's very easy to apply with your fingers. The mascara and lip gloss are full-size! So rich, worth all your coins. Get it now!!!" —doramummy
Price: $49 (valued at $97)
This set includes:
–Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Heat/UV Protective Primer: a pre-styler that protects and conditions dry, coarse, or brittle hair, and makes styling a breeze
–Travel-size Surf Spray: a sea salt spray that adds volume, texture, and hold for matte, beachy waves all year long.
–Travel-size Prêt-a-Powder Très Invisible Dry Shampoo: formulated with French pink clay to absorb oil and sweat, plus UV filters to protect against drying effects of the sun
Promising review (for Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Heat/UV Protective Primer): "My hair is super long and super thick, so it knots very easily. My hairdresser used this on my hair one day when I was getting it styled and I noticed its softness right away. I bought some and haven't gone a day without it since — it makes my hair soft and tangle-free, even after swimming. Try it; you will love it." —Karen
Price: $28 (valued at $59)
Promising review: "I suffered from cystic acne most of my teen years and adult life and at 34, I finally figured out the right combination of medications (with the help of a dermatologist). Since my focus has always been on skincare products and I research a lot, you can believe I’ve tried most products and brands. PMD did not disappoint. My scars are fading, my skin is brighter (never knew what that meant), softer, and most importantly, my texture has improved greatly. Scar indentations are not prominent anymore, but they were never too severe. Patience is key. I’ve also noticed that my hormonal/sun dark spots are lighter and now I use less concealer. It’s so easy to use and such a fast process. Just use it after your shower on a dry face and immediately slap on your favorite toner and moisturizer. The green discs are my go-to because they’re not too coarse, but coarse enough and they don’t irritate my skin. Just don’t use over acne. Go around it because it will irritate your skin further on an active breakout. Try it!" —strawberrieland
Price: $133 (valued at $199)
This set includes:
–Jumbo-size Take the Day Off Makeup Remover for Lids, Lashes & Lips
–Travel-size Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm
–Full-size Rinse-Off Foaming Cleanser
Promising review: "I swear by Take the Day Off Makeup Remover! I wear makeup daily and this is the only makeup remover I’ve ever used that actually takes all my makeup off, especially eye makeup, with one swipe! It doesn’t irritate my eyes, like other ones have in the past. I’ve used everything high-priced and they didn’t do the job like this one. I’ve been wanting to try this foaming facial cleanser from great reviews online. After seeing how big this set is in store, I had to get it! It’s a big bottle for both and I needed a fresh cleansing balm for travel." —Doedra2560
Price: $39.50 (valued at $61.50)
P.S. Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm is our highest-priced pick for best makeup remover on BuzzFeed Reviews! I bought a travel-sized version of this recently and I can confirm that it's the bomb dot com — it got rid of my heavier-than-usual wedding guest makeup/eye glitter in a snap, and importantly, I didn't have to tug at my skin or rub extra hard.
Other cool features:
–Advanced, precision-milled floating plates with a high-spec gloss finish for perfectly smooth styling and shine
–Heat-resistant protective plate guard so you can take your style and styler wherever you want
–Universal voltage to deliver the same outstanding performance wherever you are in the world
–Automatic sleep mode after 30 minutes of no use
–Nine-foot swivel cord for convenient styling
Promising review: "I will start by saying that I have natural AA type 3c hair and this is the BEST iron I have ever used. It straightened my roots perfectly and made my hair literally look and feel like silk. The styler heats up in a flash and curls the hair flawlessly. I didn’t experience any snagging; the plates just seem to glide through my hair quite smoothly. Last, but not least, I ONLY NEEDED ONE PASS to get my hair silky straight. This tool is a GODSEND. I will be retiring my blue Babyliss for this beauty!" —ChicLovestheCity

I personally looove the Wonderglow Primer because the soft and instant glow it provides is enough for me to go sans foundation when I don't feel like caking on products or I don't have the time/patience — or I'll mix it with my foundation for an extra, seamless glow boost.
This set includes:
–Charlotte's Magic Cream: a cream that floods skin with moisture for a glowing complexion in a flash and contains Charlotte Tilbury's secret mix of patented, anti-aging, hydrating and youth-promoting ingredients that lift and transform tired skin
–Travel-size Multi-Miracle Glow Cleansing Balm: a three-in-one cleanser, mask, and balm that deeply cleanses and regenerates skin to combat signs of again, dullness, and dryness (contains sea buckthorn seed oil, cranberry seed oil, frangipani flower, rose hip, and vitamins A, C, and E)
–Travel-size Wonderglow Face Primer: a hybrid primer that combines an anti-aging elixir and complexion-enhancing light diffusers to turn dull, dehydrated skin around in a flash
Promising review (for Charlotte's Magic Cream): "I’m obsessed with this product! My skin has changed after moving from CA to NY and was really drying out. This stuff is magic! My boyfriend even started using it every morning because he loves how it feels and looks. I noticed an improvement in both of our skins. I’m so glad I discovered this! Highly recommend! Worth every penny." —Clv51786

I have this exact berry shade of Lip Glow and it is one of my everyday go-tos when I literally can't be bothered with finnicky, bleeding, food-adverse lipstick (liquid, cream, or otherwise). It's the perfect pinch of color and desperately-needed moisture! In fact, it reacts to the ~unique chemistry~ and moisture level of your lips and releases active ingredients for a flush of custom color, wowwee!
This set includes:
–Addict Lip Glow Color Reviving Lip Balm in 006 Berry (a sheer berry)
–Addict Lacquer Stick in Nordstrom-exclusive 512 Hit (a deep nude): a hybrid that's half high-shine lacquer, half lipstick
–Mini-size Addict Lip Maximizer in 013 Beige (a light beige glossy): contains volumizing spheres of hyaluronic acid for powerful hydration and a volume-maximizing effect
Promising review: "Packaged luxuriously, this perfectly pink lip balm tints your lips softly. Never sticky or gooey, Lip Glow feels soft and supple. While the lip balm will wear off throughout the day, as lip balm does, my lips stay stained a natural-looking pink. This product is beautiful and my go-to, everyday lip product." —EllieWellington
Price: $70 (valued at $93)
This set includes:
–Hangover Good in Bed Ultra-Replenishing Hydrating Serum
–Hangover 3-in-1 Replenishing Primer & Setting Spray
–Travel-size Hangover Replenishing Face Primer
Promising review (for Hangover Replenishing Face Primer): "This is one of those products that you use day in and day out and you think it must be doing an OK job, but is it really? And then you buy an array of primers, try them, and all of a sudden PORE GALORE. So I guess I had to stray to realize how much this primer actually works. It is light, nourishing, and smells great." —KWrobo
Price: $42 (valued at $84)
Promising review: "Wish I could give it 10 stars. Transformational product that is saving me from having fillers. Within a few weeks, I noticed the folds by my mouth had plumped and filled. I'm working on the skin underneath on my neck, where the tightness is going away. Worth every penny." —NorCalFashionGal
Price: $100 (valued at $195; also available in a 2.5 oz bottle for $95, so you can see what a deal this is!)
This set includes:
–Maestro UV Skin Defense Primer Sunscreen SPF 50
–Fluid Sheer in #2
–Mini Rouge D'Armani Matte Lipstick in #102 Androgino (an antique rose)
Promising review (for Fluid Sheer): "I have been purchasing fluid sheer for seven years now and I have to say it is my favorite secret product out there! It gives you that model-like glow and a natural flush of color. The product is so versatile so you can use it on your whole face and cheeks or just as a regular eyeshadow. It looks so natural on, unlike other blushes and primers out there. I personally mix mine in with foundation or wear it alone on my cheeks to get that youthful beach glow." —Lisa123
Price: $90 (valued at $134)
This set includes:
–Unreal High Shine Volumizing Lip Gloss in exclusive, limited-edition Spark
Promising review (for Caution Extreme Lash Mascara): "If you’re looking for mascara to make your lashes thicker, darker, and longer, this is hands down the best! I have very light lashes and have spent money and time trying several other name brand mascaras and none have worked this great." —ATXNordiGirl
Price: $48 (valued at $59)
This set includes:
–Nectarine Blossom & Honey Cologne (0.3 oz.): a sweet and fruity fragrance with notes of succulent nectarine, peach, cassis, delicate spring flowers, and acacia honey

–English Pear & Freesia Body Crème (0.5 oz.): contains conditioning jojoba seed, cocoa seed and sweet almond oils that help moisturize, nourish, and protect skin — while leaving notes of just-ripe pears, white freesia, amber, patchouli, and woods
Promising review: "I wish I could say I got this for someone else but no, I got it for me! It's a great way to test it out and the small bottles are just perfect! Lovely, long lasting, sophisticated fragrance." —DMinor
Price: $47 (valued at $66)
This set includes:
–Scalp & Body Scrub: a deep-cleansing, foaming skin and scalp scrub with gently exfoliating sugar crystal and probiotics for a weekly detox that leaves your skin baby soft
–Travel-size Rose Hair & Body Oil (1.5 oz.): a multitasking, fast-absorbing oil that that illuminates the hair and skin, restores moisture, and repairs damage
Promising review (for the Rose Hair & Body Oil): "Love this stuff. It gives my hair a nice soft sheen without being over oily. My hair is thick, curly, and frizzy, so every bit helps. The smell is similar to an updated version of the rose milk lotion my grandmother used to wear, but it's not 'old' smelling at all — it's actually a more modern, crisp version, and it's quite nice. But the best part is, when used on skin, it leaves me feeling really soft and smelling nice. I will definitely buy again; well worth the price." —SaralynPM
Price: $38 (valued at $56)
I got a demo of this at an event once and I could legit see — not even kidding one bit — that my jawline was much more toned than before. Which is wicked, since it only takes five minutes. But you have to be careful about using enough gel, otherwise you can feel a little sting/tingling.
This set includes:
–NuFACE Trinity Facial Trainer
–Trinity Facial Toning (microcurrent attachment)
–Charging Cradle
–Power Adapter
Promising review (for the Mini Facial Toning Device): "I've used this device for years ever since I had it during a Four Seasons spa treatment. I can see dramatic results even now when I use it. I've even tested it with skeptics who swear they see a difference on their face right after treatment on one side. I started when I was younger, so the results didn't look as dramatic but as I am aging, I definitely see the improvement it has on tone and tightness in my face, particularly around the jawline." —BambooEater
