HOT DEAL ALERT: Stila Artist Signature Set for $9.90 (Originally $185)

UPDATE: Please see important update at the bottom of this post. Thanks!

I've done many blog posts over the years about fantastic beauty deals spotted Nordstrom Rack on brands like Stila, Urban Decay, Too Faced, etc. But this one? Well, I think it takes the cake!

Stila Artist Signature Set for $9.90 at Nordstrom Rack (Originally $185)

Reader Rachel (@beautycheckup on Instagram) kindly shared the above pic with me of the Stila Artist Signature Set that she just scored at her Nordstrom Rack for a whopping $9.90 (this set retailed for $185 when it was available at Sephora).

Keep reading for some tips about how YOU can possibly snag this too (even if you can't find it locally)...

1) If you're thinking this is too good to be sure, HERE'S PROOF of Rachel's price tag on this set.

2) I know that some of you have spotted this set for anywhere between $30 and $99 at your local Nordstrom Racks lately, but this price drop is NEW and it has apparently just happened. If you still don't believe it, longtime reader @fadburger on Instagram shared this screenshot from the Nordstrom Rack app when she looked up the UPC for this item to locate it in stores near her (the UPC is 429605964652 in case you want to search for yourself):

As you can see, the price is now $9.90 in the Nordstrom Rack system. I obviously cannot guarantee that the price will be $9.90 if you find this locally, but that's the price that's showing up in the Nordstrom Rack system as of today. So if you see a different price on this set in your area, definitely have them scan it to see if it shows up for $9.90 in the system, and hopefully it will!

3) Nordstrom Rack does not sell beauty items on their website, so you can only find this deal IN-STORE. But (and this is a big "but"!) several of you on Instagram have told me that when you called your local Nordstrom Rack to see if they had this in stock, some stores did NOT have it in stock, but a Nordstrom Rack employee was able to locate this set at other stores and SHIP IT TO YOU FOR $9.90 + $7.95 SHIPPING (which is still an excellent deal). Again, I cannot guarantee that you'll be able to do this, but it's worth a try, right?

IN SUMMARY: this price is very real, and it's a very new markdown from the original Nordstrom Rack price of $99. You can call your local Nordstrom Rack (here's a store locator) to see if they have this in stock near you at this price (again, I cannot guarantee this, but it's worth a call!). The UPC for this item is 429605964652.  If your local store does not have this in stock, ask them if they can locate one (or more!) for you and have it shipped to you ($9.90 + $7.95 shipping). That's still a fantastic deal even with shipping for a set that was originally $185 at Sephora when it was available!

Thanks so very much to Rachel for the tip and pic about this deal, and thanks to @fadburger for sharing that screen shot. I also want to thank several of you for sharing your tips on Instagram about this one--I am so grateful for your willingness to help us all out!

UPDATE: I've heard from several of you who have tried to place phone orders since this blog post went live earlier today. Apparently this set is now sold out in numerous states, and I've heard from readers who were able to place orders but then then the orders were cancelled (I'm guessing this set sold out very quickly in certain areas, and perhaps they went so quickly that the system couldn't keep up). At this point, I think your best bet is to try and find one in-store (if you're lucky enough to do so). Sorry about that, but I posted about this as quickly as I could!
