Whether you live in leggings or avoid them out of fear, I’m pretty sure you know the biggest problem with wearing them: the underwear show. Despite our most diligent bend-over tests, it’s still happened to the best and most cautious of us at least once — and likely other times when we didn’t notice it and no one had the heart to tell us. Too many leggings display our underwear in certain light and angles, especially when we wear richer colors or prints. For some, it’s scared us away from wearing leggings as sole bottoms at all outside of the house.
But several Nordstrom reviewers think they’ve found the ultimate pair of leggings — ones you can comfortably wear in multiple settings because they look nice but largely because they are not see-through. Welcome the Vince Camuto seamed back ponte leggings into your dresser drawer. Reviewers say they feel comfortable, go with everything and most importantly, leave your undies to the imagination. Today, they’re 33% off in Nordstrom’s mega fall sale AND there are plenty of sizes in stock — at least for now.
The leggings are made of rayon and nylon for softness and a sleek look, and that 5% spandex comes through for a little stretch that supports comfy movement. This material mix is also responsible for making these the holy grail leggings for people who want to feel doubly sure that their polka-dotted panties aren’t an unwelcome part of their outfit.
“I’m obsessed with [these] leggings because they’re not see-through!!,” one reviewer, Patty, wrote about the leggings. “The fabric is comfortable and thicker than most leggings so [they’re] perfect for fall/winter!”
Grab these in sizes XS-XL while ALL sizes are in stock and on sale. As a heads up, a few reviewers noted that these run bigger and so does Nordstrom. Eye the size chart and grab your pair(s) with that in mind.
“It’s always very hard to find leggings that fit my frame, I am petite (5′0″) and on the heavier side(160lbs). These leggings are amazing! If they had more colors I would buy them all. Super comfy and no see through here.” — MamaD07

“These leggings are the best ever! Material is thick so wearing to work as slacks is not an issue. Normally I wear a medium in leggings to be sure that they do not stretch across the back and become see through, I chose a small based on reviews. They are the perfect fit!” — SRDS

“Finally! A pair of leggings that are legit! I have searched high and low and these are the ones that I am looking for. I am 5′4, 150 pounds. I initially choose a size large, but they were way too big on me. The mediums are perfect! They are not ankle length on me, but are full length. They do not roll down, they stay put, are NOT SEE THROUGH ( a big for me), and are comfortable, easy to wear and style. I bought 3 pairs of these babies and they will not be my last. So happy with this purchase.” — Aushura
This Kiehl’s corrective set is a must-have if you want to address wrinkles or generally improve texture. It comes with a lightweight gel cream for your entire eye zone (lids, undereye, brow bone, outer corners, everything!) plus a smoothing cream for the full face. Together, both formulas are meant to smooth skin, tighten pores and improve dullness.
Typically $99 and worth $156 if you were to buy the jars individually, the usually set is now an extra 30% off.
Promising review (for eyes): “I have been using this product for a bit over two months now. I only use in the evenings but I have definitely noticed it working! I am actually blown away by this product and will be repurchasing! I had started noticing my outer eyelids dropping and since using this product I have definitely seen a reversal of that. I also have noticed diminishing of my crows feet. I highly recommend this.” – CaraKatz
Promising review (for overall face): “I burnt my face in the tanning bed in 2006. I did some damage to my face and I tried a lot of different creams. I started using this cream at night about a year ago and the damage is almost gone. Worth every penny and more!!’ — DASweetness
Reviewers love this cream tote bag by Cole Haan for its soft, high-quality leather, indicating you’ll get long wear out of it (depending on usage, of course). It’s also got a a zip-up pocket and two additional slip pockets for organization. At 60% off, it’s truly a steal and per my deal tracking, Nordstrom’s got the lowest price you’ll find on the internet.
(See more prices and retailers below just for comparison.)
Promising review: “I love everything about this tote. The soft supple leather, as well as the stunning ivory color and the generous size. I do wish it had a zippered top but I still love it and am considering buying the backpack in the same color and style.” — Schmoopiefina
Per reviews, this MAC Cosmetics cream-to-foam cleanser pulls double-duty very well — removing impurities and dead skin cells for a smoother canvas while providing a top-tier hydration duo: hyaluronic acid and glycerin. It’s the perfect time to try the mini size for yourself since it’s 30% off at Nordstrom.(Heads up: Right now, the only other place you can score this mini deal is at Belk!)
Promising review: “This cleanser is one of the best I’ve ever tried. It foams beautifully, and you only need to use the smallest amount to clean your face. I was worried for the price it wouldn’t last long, but for the tiny amount you need to use, I can see it lasting for ages. My skin always feels really clean and soft after using it. It’s definitely worth the investment.” — Chris
People seem to adore how soft and stretchy these Nordstrom Moonlight pajamas are and they’re 60% off in the navy color! Sizes run XS-XL but some shoppers say the set runs big while others say it’s true to size. Eye the size chart and size down if you determine it’s best for you.
Promising review: “Love these pajamas! They are so cute and made with the softest material. I like that they come with long sleeves and shorts as my legs tend to get hot when I sleep but my arm are cool when they’re outside of my covers – they’re the perfect pjs!” — Beth Dun
There are few easier ways to liven up the face than with a swipe of blush and MAC Cosmetics has one of the best formulas in the game. Right now, two of its warm, shimmery blushes — Gentle and Love Thing — are 30% off. Not into the shimmers, however subtle they may be? Try the matte powder blush in the shade Fever, also 30% off.
Promising review (Gentle): “I have used many MAC blushes over the years and the Mineralize in Gentle is my absolute favorite! Color plus a bit of shimmer, it stays on all day and gives me a beautiful glow in winter or summer!” — Jdinrock
This Bumble and Bumble shampoo formula is a go-to for many thanks to how it provides extra volume, dullness reversal and overall damage repair.
(Note: It also looks like Ulta Beauty is matching the Nordy’s price on the Full Potential shampoo but Amazon’s got it $1 cheaper. Grab it while you can.)
Promising review: “This was a repurchase for me and that says a lot in itself. My hair is fine but there’s lots of it which means it can be quite limp and floppy. This shampoo and the conditioner give my hair some body and make it easier to style. I love the way my hair feels after I’ve used it.” — Nobby
Bobbi Brown’s plumping lip serum is meant to provide 24 hours of moisture thanks to its hyaluronic acid ingredient, a humectant known to boost hydration. This $45 Nordstrom-exclusive set comes with two full-size tubes at a $78 value if purchased individually – that’s 42% off. Now, you can score an extra 20% off in the sale.
(Heads up: The serum is meant for subtle plumping for a natural look so review the model images pre-cart drop. If you prefer a more dramatic look, that’s probably a task for good fillers.)
Promising review: “This lip oil is magic! Moisturizes and plumps while hydrating, not drying. Stays put- no bleeding, even without a lip pencil. Colors are beautiful and subtle! Perfect for a natural look or to add shimmer over the top of a base color. A little pricey, , but lasts a long time. Definitely worth it!” — Karen R.
“I saw these were popular and they 100% live up to the hype,” one reviewer wrote about these chic yet practical Sam Edelman ballet flats.
“I want to buy these in more colours. So comfortable, don’t need to break them in! The soul is SUPER soft. Best shoes I’ve bought in a while 😊 Fits to size exactly!”
Grab in a bunch of colors (all but black are on sale) and sizes 6-12! Per my sales tracking, Nordstrom’s get the best deal on the most colors.
Trading in summer foundation for something more moisturizing is ideal for this season. Consider MAC’s Studio Waterweight Foundation since it’s lightweight, sun-protecting, oil-free and has glycerin to promote more hydration. Grab it for 30% off in most available shades.
Heads up: I did the sleuthing for you already. This is the only foundation with good ratings with nearly all shades marked down. Grab while there’s stock!
Promising review: “This lightweight foundation is so smooth and a little goes a long way! Lots of shades to match your skin tone. I’ve used it for years, nothing else compares. It’s dewy and the sunscreen protection is ideal per my dermatologist! It’s NOT cakey! Not a thick formula which is great for a natural look. Hope it’s never discontinued!” — Juliemae

Per the reviews, this Benefit Cosmetics mini mascara set can address nearly any lash issue you might be having from clumping to straightness to sparseness. It’ll come with three of Benefit Cosmetics most highly rated mascaras: Roller Lash (a go-to for curling), Badgal Bang! and FanFest.
Promising review: “Great mascara! My eyelashes have become short and thin as I have aged. I use a primer and this mascara on top and instantly have long lashes again! Best mascara I have tried! Definitely recommend!” — Eyeshadowjunkie
If you haven’t been introduced to Zella athleisure wear, then prepare your heart. Judging by the reviews, these Live-In joggers probably deserve a warning label because according to many, once you slip into the brand’s jogger pants, they might be the only ones you want to wear. Today, they’re a steal at 65% off with several sizes in stock.
Promising review: “Honestly, I wish I’d never met these Zella Joggers. Because now I don’t want to wear any other pants. They are so perfect in every way. They slouch perfect. The fabric is soft. They look perfect. The waistband is perfect. The length is perfect. I might need to buy 10 pairs and open my closet and this is all you see. They live up to the “live in” brand name. Love.” — Ghostpants
The cult-favorite Laura Mercier brand may be most known for its iconic setting powder but I urge you not to skip its Effortless Eyes Caviar Stick eye shadow trio. The stick design is beginner- and travel-friendly. Just swipe onto your lids for color that’s subtle yet impactful and transfer-resistant — and its long-wear! You get three full-size eyeshadows worth $99 and they’re typically $60 in this set (39% off). Today though, the trio’s an extra 25% off, the best deal yet.
This trio comes in Rosegold, Burnished Bronze and Dune shades — but if you’re pressed for more, check the full shade suite here.
Promising review: “I bought my first caviar stick on a lark. I’ve bought two more colors and may end up with more. It is so easy to use and the look is wonderful and natural. Highly recommend that you give it a try. If natural tones work well with your skin color, try the khaki to start.” — GardenGlen88
