An eyeshadow quad and eyeliner for 50% off at Nordstrom? Sign us up
It's official: the beauty world is buzzing, and for good reason. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is live to the public now — running through August 3 — and it's bringing major markdowns on brand-new, luxe beauty items (not just leftovers).
One of its top beauty exclusives? The Bobbi Brown Easy Neutrals Eyeshadow Palette & Eyeliner Set, valued at $139, now ringing in at just $69. That's a 50% slash on modern, flattering neutrals— hello, yes please!
Color me obsessed: I vividly remember the days of heading to the Nordstrom counter with my mom to pick up some Bobbi Brown goodies. I would swatch and stare — amazed at how a pigmented circle would transition so beautifully onto my lids. Now, this 50% off deal is like a nostalgic blessing to my Anniversary Sale shopping soiree.
This compact duo nails everything you need for a polished eye look in one sleek little package. Inside sits a four‑shade neutral palette (think: soft matte taupes and buttery shimmering browns), plus a rich, velvety eyeliner to define and impress. It's like Bobbi Brown tossed in all her signature know‑how, built it into a travel‑friendly compact, and then Nordstrom made it irresistible by halving the price.

Whether you're a subtle beauty minimalist or a full‑on glam queen, this kit is magnetic. The palette delivers everyday elegance, while the eyeliner adds that polished edge. One swipe of shimmer, a flick of liner, and you're red‑carpet ready — or café‑run chic.
Versatility like this typically commands boutique prices, but Nordstrom dropped it far below premium at just $69. Even better? It comes with an eyeliner, originally priced at $36. In other words, this duo is a pure steal.
Here's the kicker: this is a brand‑new fall release—not a clearance throwout. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale exclusively includes pre‑season launches, folding fall's upcoming trends into this summer pop‑up event That means you're not behind the curve; you're ahead of it, scoring tomorrow's aesthetics today.
But heads‑up: these are disappearing fast. Beauty bundles in this event routinely drop off shelves. By the time general public access opened (July 12), Nordstrom noted 'Beauty Exclusives' like this palette‑liner combo are moving quickly. If you've been patiently (or impatiently) watching this beauty cart, now's your moment.
Let's cut to the quick: $139 value for $69? That's cosmic value in the beauty universe. You're essentially getting a premium day-to-night palette and long‑wear liner for the price of brunch and lattes. Not to mention, I've been a longtime user of Bobbi Brown since middle school. Ahem, that's 10+ years, and her eye products are some of my favorites for a wearable yet captivating beauty look.
So, what are you waiting for? Whether it's a gift for your brighter-than-ever summer glow or a treat‑yourself moment, this set is dripping with that 'I‑totally‑plan‑to‑be‑flawless' energy. If your makeup bag needs a reliable multitasker that scratches both beauty and value itches, this is it.

I'm 5 Feet Tall, and I'm Eyeing These 11 Petite Midi and Maxi Dresses at Amazon, Nordstrom, and More—From $20
As someone five-feet-tall, I know that shopping for a midi-length or maxi dress that won't drag on the ground is, well, a drag. Either you have to spend time (and money) tailoring it, or do some legwork to find stylish petite options from online retailers, considering the right size is rarely in stores. With a few summer vacations on my calendar, I opted for the latter option and browsed through my go-to petite brands to find flattering dresses that fit my frame perfectly. Naturally, I had to share my findings with my fellow petite shoppers, so I rounded up the best maxi and midi dress options from Amazon, Nordstrom, Anthropologie, and more. From a $29 travel-friendly knit dress to a European-summer-inspired maxi shirt dress, I found styles for every travel itinerary. Keep reading for 11 of my top picks, starting at $20. You'll never catch me in the airport in a dress above my knees, but now and then, I like to throw on a stylish, comfortable midi dress to elevate my travel look. This Gap ribbed knit option is perfect for exactly that, and with a $29 price tag, I immediately added it to my shopping cart. I opted for the olive green shade, which will seamlessly transition into fall, but it is also available in black, striped, and fuchsia. This sleeveless midi dress is effortlessly chic and looks much more expensive than its $35 price tag. The fitted top is made from a comfortable, smocked knit material, and it's paired with a puffed peplum skirt featuring a flattering drop waistline that helps make your torso appear longer—perfect for petite shoppers. Quince is known for its effortless travel clothing, and this midi tank dress is no exception. The travel-ready piece is made from a breathable, soft cotton blend. One five-foot-two reviewer wrote that "the dress is perfect," adding that it's "simple and sophisticated." This light and airy maxi dress captures the art of summer dressing. It is trimmed with lace detailing and features an embroidered design on the bodice. Now, the hard part is deciding between the classic black shade and the cottagecore-inspired indigo. Considering they're both on sale, I might have to snag both! While this midi dress isn't available in petite sizing, it has adjustable spaghetti straps that allow for a customizable fit. The fit-and-flare dress, which can be easily dressed up or down, features a fitted ribbed bodice with a low scoop back and a flowing skirt. This maxi dress features a similar design to the above option, with a fitted, tank top bodice and an airy skirt, but its high neckline provides a bit more coverage. One five-foot-tall reviewer wrote that it's a 'great length,' and added that they 'loved it so much,' they bought a second color. The best part? It's marked down to just $22 right now, so I'm not missing my opportunity to shop it while it's on sale. This Lands' End petite maxi dress is begging to be worn on a tropical vacation, and its airy, lightweight material will help keep you cool on a hot summer day. It features a stretchy, smocked elastic back and adjustable tie straps, providing additional length customization for the petite dress. I'm not headed to Europe this summer, but if I were, I could easily picture myself strolling the cobblestone streets of Paris in this top-rated breezy shirtdress from The shirred elastic waist provides shape to the flowy silhouette, and it comes with a slip lining underneath the subtly sheer overlay fabric. I can already tell this ultra-comfy jersey maxi dress would become one of my staple travel pieces. It features flattering details, such as a smoothing waistband and a deep V-neck. Plus, the pullover design makes it easy to throw on and go, whether I'm catching an early morning flight or making a quick change before dinner. I can't resist a perfectly tailored dress, and this petite Anthropologie number fits the bill. The casual yet elegant shirt dress features eye-catching details, including a classic collar, exaggerated sleeves, and flattering pleats around the bodice. Additionally, the button-up front allows for a customizable look that can be worn as a dress or paired over a pair of shorts and a classic white tee. This top-rated midi dress is made from a summery, lightweight linen material and has a smocked waistband with a tie at the center and capped sleeves. One reviewer raved that it's 'very flattering and comfortable,' and a five-foot-three shopper wrote that 'the length is perfect.' Right now, the midi is an additional 40 percent off, bringing the price down to $84. Love a great deal?

Inside Zohran Mamdani's posh multi-day Uganda wedding bash with phone jamming system, armed guards
Socialist NYC mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani celebrated his recent nuptials with a lavish, three-day affair at his family's ritzy, secluded Ugandan compound — complete with masked security guards and a cellphone jamming system, The Post has learned. The gates of the bustling, private compound, which sits in the wealthy Buziga Hill area outside the capital city of Kampala, were heavily guarded by military-style, masked men this week, with guests streaming in and partying until midnight, according to sources in the town who wished to remain anonymous for security reasons. Mamdani, 33, eloped with artist and animator Rama Duwaji, 27, in February. Advertisement He told his social media followers Sunday he was heading to his homeland to celebrate with his wealthy filmmaker mom and professor dad, who own the Buziga Hill property. The neighborhood is home to some of Uganda's richest, including billionaire businessman Godfrey Kirumira, a city tycoon with stakes in real estate, tourism, petroleum and infrastructure, and houses neighboring the Mamdanis easily fetch more than $1 million. 6 Rama Duwaji and NYC Mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani, who eloped in February, were celebrating their nuptials with a multi-day bash in his native Uganda. Instagram/Le Marché des Fleurs Advertisement The home is set back from the road and sits on two acres of lush gardens surrounded by trees, has breathtaking, panoramic view of Lake Victoria and features at least three security gates. This week, it was transformed into a party pad, with Christmas lights strung into the canopy of trees in the garden and music blaring, sources said. On Tuesday, buses, several Mercedes and a Range Rover 4 were seen driving to the compound. 6 Christmas lights were seen strung into trees inside the Mamdani property's garden. Katumba Badru/New York Post Security was extremely tight, sources said. Advertisement 'Outside the Mamdani house were more than 20 special forces command unit guards, some in masks, and there was a phone-jamming system set up — and all for the strictly invite-only Mamdani event,' one witness confirmed to The Post. 'One gate had around nine guards stationed at it,' they added. 6 Guards including government-style security were placed outside Mamdani's house as he celebrated his wedding. Katumba Badru/New York Post Mamdani's parents, Nair, 67, and her husband, Mahmood Mamdani, 78, an anti-Israel political theorist, live on the estate but also split their time between New York and New Delhi. Nair's Instagram page includes one post featuring a coconut tree planted when Mamdani was born. Advertisement A native of Kampala, Mamdani moved to New York when he was 7, becoming a U.S citizen in 2018. He'd announced his marriage to Duwaji, an illustrator, earlier this year. The pair met on the dating app, Hinge and now share a rent-stabilized apartment in Astoria. On Thursday, revelers enjoyed fruit juices, a typical addition for Indian-style events, as well as dancing to music from a local DJ, sources told The Post. 6 Mamdani and Rama Duwaji who spent three days celebrating their wedding at the Mamdani house outside Kampala. Getty Images One witness reported making out the NYC's Democratic mayoral nominee's voice on a microphone addressing guests later that night, with the party ending after midnight. 'Then on Friday, inside the compound, there were military style tents being taken down when the party had finished,' they added. 'Then what looked like Mamdani personal security guards took over at the gates.' 6 Flowers were left outside a closed gate at Mamdani's home after days of wedding celebrations in Buziga, Kampala. Katumba Badru/New York Post 'Flowers were also left in a pile on the ground near one of the security gates.' The property is isolated enough that some locals weren't even aware of the three-day wedding extravaganza. Advertisement 'Local children have been watching Mamdani on TV, and everyone was talking about him, but not about the wedding,' another resident said. 'For us, it's just about survival. We're just trying to win the bread and make sure our families are OK.' 'We had heard that Mamdani was going to be Mayor of New York, and he had made it over in America,' another added. 'We want to know now if we can get free visas to the U.S. and to travel to New York like he did.' 6 Expensive cars were seen arriving at Buziga Hill Road last week as Mamdani threw a party for his wedding. Katumba Badru/New York Post While the Mamdani family celebrated, neighbors were in mourning for former Ugandan Supreme Court Judge George Kanyeihamba, who had lived a stones throw from the Mamdani's place and died July 14. Advertisement Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni also came to pay his respects to Kanyeihamba and 'the street was blocked by the president's cars,' a local said. Some found Mamdani's wedding bash 'insensitive.' 'Because of the culture here, it was insensitive to have a wedding celebration in the same week as mourning – or 'Okukungubaga' – as it's called here,' one told The Post. 'People are still in mourning,' the person added, pointing in the direction of Kanyeihamba's house, about three minutes away from the Mamdani property. Advertisement 'He has not even been buried, and we have his friends coming to give last words and to mourn before the burial next week, yet Mamdani is celebrating his wedding for three days,' the source continued. It's unclear if Museveni also attended Mamdani's party. Mamdani did not respond to a request for comment from The Post. Advertisement The Queens assemblyman confirmed in an Instagram video that he would stay in Uganda until the end of the month. 'Since you will undoubtedly read about this trip in The New York Post —Inshallah on the front page—here are a few of my humble suggestions for headlines,' Mamdani quipped while holding a slew of newspaper covers, one which read, 'M.I.A.:MAMDANI IN AFRICA.'

'Happy Gilmore 2' star Haley Joel Osment makes first red carpet appearance since arrest
"Happy Gilmore 2" star Haley Joel Osment made a rare red carpet appearance months after his April arrest made headlines. The former child star, now 37, walked the film's red carpet Monday, July 21, at Lincoln Center in New York City. He wore a floral shirt, and white pants for the affair, pairing the look with a matching jacket and slip-on suede loafers. "The Sixth Sense" star appears in "Happy Gilmore 2" (released Friday, July 25 on Netflix) — the brainchild of comedian Adam Sandler — as new character Billy Jenkins in the sequel to the beloved 1996 golf comedy. Osment's appearance at the premiere marked his first major public outing since he was arrested this spring and charged with disorderly conduct for public alcohol intoxication and possession of cocaine at Mammoth Mountain Ski Area resort in Mammoth Lakes, California. 'Happy Gilmore 2': The wildest celebrity cameos, from Travis Kelce to Ken Jennings Earlier this year, Osment apologized for his use of a slur in a statement shared with People and the New York Post April 18 after his arrest footage surfaced. The footage, shared by Page Six, shows Osment calling an officer a "Nazi" and hurling an antisemitic slur about Jewish people. "You'll wish you treated me nicer," Osment said to the officer. As he was escorted into the jail in handcuffs by two officers, the actor said, "Good luck." Osment told the outlets that "I'm absolutely horrified by my behavior. Had I known I used this disgraceful language in the throes of a blackout, I would have spoken up sooner." He added that "the past few months of loss and displacement have broken me down to a very low emotional place." Osment continued: "But that's no excuse for using this disgusting word. From the bottom of my heart, I apologize to absolutely everyone that this hurts. What came out of my mouth was nonsensical garbage - I've let the Jewish community down and it devastates me. I don't ask for anyone's forgiveness, but I promise to atone for my terrible mistake." Contributing: Saman Shafiq
