Who has the best deal? Nordstrom Anniversary Sale vs. Amazon Prime Day

It’s the best deal season of the year with BOTH the NSale and Prime Day happening this week!! These two mega sales are like the Super Bowl of shopping, BUT it can feel a little overwhelming trying to figure out where your hard-earned pennies are going to stretch the furthest. So we’ve done the digging, the comparing, and the honest evaluating so you don’t have to! Whether you’re eyeing a pair of shoes or a Dyson deal, this guide will help you shop smarter, not harder. Let’s break it all down and see who’s really bringing the best deals to the table this year!

Dyson Airwrap

The Dyson Airwrap is so good and such a great combo tool for drying, curling, waving, or smoothing your hair! It dries AND styles all in one shot so it’s a MAJOR time-saver. It’s super quick and super easy and you. will. LOVE it. All Dyson hair tools are on sale at Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and they have a better deal on the Dyson Airwrap i.d. compared to Amazon, which is the newest Airwrap on the market! However, if you don’t need the very latest technology and just want a super low price, you can get the Dyson Airwrap Origin at it’s the lowest price at Prime Day.


Dyson V15 cordless vacuum

What makes the Dyson V15 Detect a game-changer? It’s equipped with laser detect technology, comes with every tool you’d need, adapts to different flooring throughout your home…and so much more. This Nordstrom Anniversary Sale deal is slightly better at $559.99, compared to the Prime Day deal at $569.99! (reg $749.99)


Our Place cookware set

Our place perfect pot and pan

Our Place has been our go-to for cookware that’s pretty enough to serve right out of and put right on the dinner table, and functional enough to never have an egg stick! (Just make sure you follow their instructions to hand-wash and never turn the heat above medium-high). It’s currently 15% OFF on Prime Day and is available in five different colors. BUT we found it on Nordstrom Anniversary sale for 31% OFF and in beautiful vanilla bean color!


Supergoop SPF50

Spray to Play SPF Trio

This Supergoop! sunscreen has AMAZING reviews. It’s totally invisible, weightless, and scent-free. We love that this is fast-absorbing, non-greasy, water and sweat resistant, and a broad-spectrum SPF 50 spray for your face and body. A six fl. oz bottle currently costs $19.20 on Prime Day but you can get a trio set on Nordstrom Anniversary sale for only $49! That makes it $16.33 per 6 oz. bottle!!


Dyson hair dryer

The Dyson hair dryer has become a GAME CHANGER for a reason because it literally has cut the time in HALF to dry! (Can we get a hallelujah?!) Right now you can score the Supersonic Origin hair dryer on Prime Day deal for 25% OFF (which is the lowest price overall), OR or the newest Supersonic Nural hair dryer at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for 20% OFF.


Women’s Levi’s jeans

Levi’s are probably THE most classic and iconic jeans out there and it’s clear they’ve lived up to their reputation by sticking around every retailer from Amazon to Nordstrom. And whether you’re a tried and true fan or you’ve been eyeing a pair for a while now, we found better prices and more Levi’s deals on Prime Day deal than at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.


Necessaire body wash

We kept seeing people talk about the Necessaire The Body Wash so we HAD to try it! It smells like a spa, especially the eucalyptus one we got. There’s just something about a dreamy body wash that turns a shower into a simple daily pleasure and this one absolutely does not disappoint. Right now you can get the 8.4 oz bottle for $23.80 at the Nordstrom Anniversary sale but we found it cheaper on Prime Day deal for only $21!


Maxi Cosi convertible car seat

MAxi Cosi car seat

We are MASSIVE fans of Maxi Cosi convertible car seats! They’ve been on our list of baby favorites for years. Not only are they all machine washable & dry-able (bye-bye icky germs and air drying), but they’re so ridiculously cushy. This car seat is on sale during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (sold out, but it could restock!) but we found a better deal on Prime Day where you can get this for $195.99 (reg. $294.99)!


Slumberpod

SlumberPod The Original Blackout Sleep Tent

This blackout sleeper is a MUST for so many mamas! This blackout baby tent really does work SO WELL and completely blacks out even a bright hotel room. One of our team Mint Arrow members has one and absolutely swears by it. It is very similar to pitching a tent every time you need to set it up, but it only takes a few minutes and is well worth it! It’s totally breathable and 100% SAFE. You can get the Slumberpod in slate blue at the Nordstrom Anniversary sale for $167.99 (comes with a fan though!), or the black/grey one on Prime Day for only $149.99.


Ray-ban sunglasses

We have loved Ray-Ban sunglasses for years and years. They are so classic that they never ever go out of style and are so high quality that we can pull out our favorites over and over again. That’s why we’re excited to see them on sale for Prime Day! But if you’re looking for better, on-trend deals, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has the best options.


Women’s adidas shoes

adidas italia

Definitely some of THE hottest sneakers this year. We found better women’s adidas deals at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale on styles that are actually popular right now! However, Prime Day does have overall lower prices, but on styles that aren’t as in right now. So if you’ve been wanting to hop on the adidas sneaker trend for summer AND fall, don’t hesitate one second to grab your size and checkout!


T3 curling iron

T3 SinglePass Curl X Extra-Long Barrel

This curling iron gets A LOT of hype! You’ve probably seen it on social media, and it has really good reviews. We love a 1.25″ size barrel for creating soft waves that are always on trend. Regularly $169.99, get this for the best price at $94.99 during Prime Day!


Clinique mascara

clinique high impact mascara

This really makes your lashes POP and it comes off super easily. Corrine even used to wear a layer over her traditional lash extensions, before she switched to at-home lash extensions. It’s one of our top fave mascaras and you can get a duo set on at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for only $30! That makes it $15 per tube, and is way cheaper than Prime Day deal which is $18.20!!


Drybar blow-dryer brush

This fan-favorite drying brush is sure to give you the perfect blowout that’ll last days! It’s 33% OFF at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale which is better than the Prime Day deal!


Grande Cosmetics lash + brow set

Lash & Brow Vibes Set

If you’re looking for ways to give your lash and brows some TLC, this set is for you! We found this Grande Cosmetics lash + brow set that includes a full-size lash enhancing serum, full-size intense thickening mascara, and a travel-size brow enhancing serum for only $69 on Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! This set is not available on Prime Day and will cost you $80 if purchased all of these separately, even while they’re all on Prime Day deal!

Final thoughts before you checkout

At the end of the day, both Nordstrom and Amazon have their perks—and truthfully, you can find amazing things at either one if you know what to look for. But hopefully this post gave you a little clarity (and maybe saved you a few dollars too!). So whether you’re a Nordy girl at heart or an Amazon deal lover, you’ve got the info you need to make the best call for you and your family. Happy deal shopping!
