Hautelook Nordstrom Anniversary Beauty Exclusive Bag Reveal!

I’m so angry with myself. I bought it. I don’t know why. I just wanted something. Such regrets.

So I wonder if someone is getting fired today LOL. Major fail.

I got the bag last year and it was GREAT. I actually cannot believe that they think this one is comparable and worth $29. I’m not sure it’s worth even $10, since for $10 (shipping included) you can get a Birchbox, plus about $5 in points to make a purchase. Frankly, kind of relieved since I’m trying not to buy cosmetics . . .

How disappointing! I would have loved last year’s bag with more exciting and a greater number of products and at a better price with discounted shipping. Nothing in this bag excites me at all. I just took Liz’s recommendation and ordered five samples of luxury items I’ve picked for $20 from sochoix.com. And since they are running behind in orders, they are giving an extra $5 in points, so I’ll have $10 to put towards a new lipstick I’m in search of.

I feel totally disappointment like most people here. I had a reminder on my phone to see how great the bag would be compared to last year. This year the products are a lot less in value and the small samples sizes. The donna Karen cashmere I love but I wouldn’t expect to get a sample in a Nordstorm bag that i can get from Macy’s for free.

I agree with many others… I’m passing. This isn’t a good bag to me. Usually their bags impress me. Oh well.

I know that a frivolous item like this is a silly thing to be upset about, but this bag really seems like an afterthought. I don’t see how there is such a derivation in the quality from last year from a brand like Nordstrom. That is all that bothers me, it seems like they’ve become inconsistent.

hell no. this bag is nothing compared to last years’. seriously, donna karen cashmere mist, baby sample? i guess this is what happens when they don’t want something to sell out.

Man I am so bummed! I was looking forward to trying and get this bag, I even have a reminder on my computer so I wouldn’t miss it! Thanks for posting the spoilers though, now I know that I can pass!

I too thought it had to be only a partial reveal until I got the HauteLook full reveal newsletter overnight and saw that this is indeed all that is included. So, I did myself one better and used the money instead to buy Rue La La’s 40% off Tatcha coupon and bought quality skincare that I already know I love and trust.

Yikes. Thank you so much for posting these spoilers…I looked at the photo and thought, “Maybe these are just partial spoilers.” This seems like an awful lot of foil packets and cardboard samples, too. Maybeee I would be interested if these were full or deluxe sample sized, but…no. Ah well. At least I know I’m saving some money!

SO happy for the spoiler! It’s my day off tomorrow and I need the sleep. I would have been so upset that I set an alarm only to see this joke of a bag was being offered….

My wallet is happy too

I’m disappointed, too. I just got into subscription boxes, and this bag does not look like what last year’s was..

What is this, their version of a department store Walmart box? Except it is a major rip off! Pass!

I appreciate your reviews SO MUCH! I missed the previous Hautelook Nordstrom beauty bag and I was so upset. I’ve been checking everyday for a new one. I would have been upset if I had ordered this it. Seems like a bit of a let down after seeing the last one and waiting so long for this one. Thanks for saving me the trouble.

I can’t belive you have to pay for this. All the fabulous gwp’s …who is in charge of their marketing.

Thanks Liz. You have saved me another sleepless night. I am definitely not going to buy this bag after seeing your preview. I do not like anything in it so its a pass for me.

I posted a link a bit earlier but I don’t think it went through because it had a URL. There’s a full-video (for lack of a better word) “review” on YouTube now – the photo above isn’t a creative crop or only a partial bag reveal by Hautelook and Nordstrom. That’s it. And as impossible as it sounds, the samples are even smaller / sadder watching someone hold them than they appear in the stock photo.

I’d put this on par with the (free) GWP that I just got in a Nordstrom order. Actually, that had much better brands in it, and I think it even included the exact same Clinique lip balm stick. Add me to the list of people turning off their alarm for tomorrow. A huge thanks to Liz for sharing the spoilers! My wallet is happy to finally get a break after all of the excercise it’s gotten at the Anniversary Sale

I’m passing. Hopefully they resell it at a cheaper price. I’ll purchase it for less than $20 after shipping not $35.

I wonder if shipping is included in the $29 or if that is an extra charge.

Here’s a video reveal of the bag:

Why are my comments not showing?? I put a link to a video showing the Nordstrom bag being opened and shown twice. Both times not showing.

At first I was like, OH NO, not while I’m on a no-buy. And then I saw the bag contents…

I hope whoever does buy it enjoys it, but it’s not really for me this time.

Wow, such a let down from last year. Definitely passing on this. Guess it’s okay since I got the ANFGB box today,
