Cruelty-Free Nordstrom Beauty Gift Sets Under $100
Nordstrom sponsors this post. Thanks for supporting the brands that work with AWSL.
I’m still shocked at how fast it happened…but the holidays are upon us. I’ve started some holiday shopping, but I have a long way to go. Today, I’m sharing some great Nordstrom beauty Gift Sets under $100 for you to give…or treat yourself to.
I love beauty sets of great products because they:
- allow you to try expensive products in smaller sizes to see if you love them.
- it’s easy to break them up into fun stocking stuffers.
- you can actually give them as gifts 🙂
Can you guess my favorite?
Here’s what I bought:
Charlotte Tilbury
I’ve been trying more Charlotte Tilbury products lately and loving all their colors. Especially this waterproof lip pencil in Supersize Me and Pillow Talk Fair. It’s a brilliant formula that stays on for hours! I also love that it’s a cruelty-free brand launched by Charlotte in 2013 to help women feel confident, beautiful, and empowered. She makes lots of skincare products, so I decided to try these Immediate Eye Revival Patches. Okay, yes, these were never intended to be a gift, but they could be for someone other than yourself.
I’ve been burning the midnight oil lately, trying to get caught up with all the projects I have due before the holidays, and my eyes are showing the effects. These are non-slip, non-drip (thank you!) hydrogel cushion eye patches that feel cooling and hydrate the skin under your eyes. Hydrated skin looks smoother and less puffy, so your fine lines are less prominent.
Simply apply it to clean dry skin under your eyes and wait 10 minutes. Then, remove and tap the excess serum into your skin. Voila! I assumed the serum might feel sticky, but it doesn’t and totally absorbed within minutes of taking them off.

Salt & Stone
I discovered this Salt & Stone Brand aluminum-free deodorant last summer and never looked back. Salt & Stone is a cruelty-free brand that is leaping-bunny certified, which you know is important to me. They combine active ingredients with intoxicating fragrances to create a sensorial experience that soothes and restores. Salt & Stone packaging is created from up-cycled ocean plastics and manufactured via renewable solar and hydroelectric energy.
I’ve tried lots of “natural” deodorants over the years, but they didn’t cut it for me so I always had to go back to using an antiperspirant. This keeps my body oder in check, even after a workout, on our hottest days!
The regular sized stick is pretty substantial, so when I spotted this limited edition Bergamot & Hinoki Mini Trio, I knew it would be perfect for travel. The other upside is I get to sample a new scent, try the body wash and lotion, plus have a deodorant size that fits better into my travel makeup bag. Nordstrom carries 5 of their deodorant scents, all with sophisticated fragrance notes that rival my perfume. The Bergamot & Neroli has base notes of eucalyptus, amber, and orange blossom, which I particulry love.
Now that I know I like this scent, this Bergamot & Hinoki Full Body Set seems like a fabulous idea because it also includes a body mist.

Westman-Atelier
I jumped at the chance to try this Petite Fête Edition Makeup Set. This is a cruelty-free luxury skincare and makeup brand with a loyal following. Gucci Westman is a world-renowned make-up aritst who created a new standard of clean beauty with skin-loving, performance-first makeup that looks effortless.
The Baby Cheeks Blush Stick in “Bubble” a Cool Berry shade with a subtle hint of gleam. The Highlight Stick is in “Toast” which is a sparkling rose taupe shade, and the Volumizing Mascara is Jet Black with a lush brush for building full lashes.
Smashbox
This Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer has been one of my secret weapons for years. Using wizardry I don’t understand, it blurs imperfections and smooths out some of the rough texture on my face. It’s cruelty-free, vegan primer gel developed to help your makeup last longer and blur imperfections.
I highly recommend this as a gift to yourself. If you have rough texture or fine lines on your face, give this product a try. It seems to smooth everything out so my foundation goes on smoothly. Even on days when I don’t wear a foundation, I use this to help blurr things out after I apply my sunscreen. If I’m just wearing tinted sunscreen, I apply this first. I keep the full sized in my makeup drawer and the small size goes in my travel makeup bag.

Do you give beauty gifts for the holidays?
I don’t usually give beauty gifts for Christmas but it really sounds like a good idea. My Daughter in law always goes to Ulta. Sometimes I’ll give a gift card. These are all lovely products.
My daughter loves getting beauty gifts so I give the to my sister-in-law and daughter-in-law too.
