MoneyLion took a $50 budget and found five affordable products ranging from beauty buys to hair accessories at TJ Maxx that look like they could pass for Nordstrom. (One item is sold at both retailers and we can’t wait to share the cost comparison.) Our total spend was $45.95, which kept us comfortably within budget.
Here’s what you need to add to your TJ Maxx shopping cart.
Fossil 56mm Aviator Sunglasses
Price: $9.99
You can find Fossil sunglasses at Nordstrom, but you’re going to pay a lot more for them. Their aviator selection ranges from $72 to $82 per pair. By comparison, TJ Maxx shoppers save as much as $72 on the Fossil 56 mm aviator sunglasses.
Versed Cloud Polish Exfoliating Lip Scrub
Price: $9.99
Hydrate your lips and discreetly remove dead skin when you massage on Versed cloud polish exfoliating lip scrub. Most lip scrubs available at Nordstrom, like the lemon sugar lip scrub from Tocobo, cost $15 to $20 or more.
Ofra Blossom Blush Midi Palette
Price: $9.99
Does the Ofra blossom blush midi palette look familiar to you?
Eagle eye beauty enthusiasts know this palette is sold at both stores, but the Nordstrom price tag is much more expensive. You’ll pay $27 more at Nordstrom, which could pay for three palettes at TJ Maxx.
Being Frenshe Nourishing Hair Mask
Price: $7.99
If you spot a jar of Being Frenshe nourishing hair mask at TJ Maxx, add it to your shopping cart ASAP.
It’s a lot cheaper than name-brand hair masks sold at Nordstrom and even costs less than Target’s prices. Similar hair masks from the Being Frenshe brand retail for $15.89 online.
Pro Beauty Essentials Silky Hair Ties
Price: $7.99
We saved one of our favorite deals for last: Pro Beauty’s silky hair ties.
This 10-count set of silky hair ties works to minimize creasing and breakage and is a fraction of the price compared to the slip brand sold at Nordstrom. Shopping slip’s 10-count set of skinny silk scrunchies will set your wallet back $52 – for hair ties that are strikingly similar in design and function.
