Um, Nordstrom Is Having an Early Black Friday Sale—11 Beauty Gems I'm Buying First

This limited-edition set includes two sizes of a beauty editor–beloved fragrance—Tom Ford's Café Rose Eau de Parfum. It's rich and luxurious, featuring notes of Turkish rose, rose Bulgaria, dark coffee, coriander, patchouli, and cardamom. Just like a really great cup of coffee, you'll keep coming back for more.

No matter how many moisturizers I test, I always return to a select few, and Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream is one of them. It has a skin-comforting formula composed of squalane, glacial glycoproteins, and ceramides, and I have yet to find a single person who doesn't love what it does for their skin. I'm adding this Home & Away Duo to my cart RN. It includes one full-size and one travel-size version of the iconic moisturizer.

You heard it here first: 2025 will be the year of intelligent hair dryers, and this one is at the top of my list. It has four style modes, five heat settings, and three speed settings to truly customize your at-home blowout. Plus, it has a powerful ion generator that delivers 10 million negative ions per second for the smoothest, shiniest strands.

This luxe bronzer makes the skin look so natural and sun-kissed that it's the real-life behind-the-scenes secret for many A-list celebs, including men like Cillian Murphy. I don't know about you, but my dull skin could use a glow now that it's almost winter, so I'm snagging one (or two) while it's still on sale.

Scent is powerful, and it can dictate memory and mood, which is why one of my favorite compliments to receive is "Your house smells incredible." This Apotheke Bitter Cherry Reed Diffuser is my latest home fragrance obsession. Notes of black cherry, cardamom, chili pepper, sandalwood, black violet, tonka bean, and vanilla combine to create *the* warm and spicy scent of winter.

While red lipsticks with blue undertones tend to get all the hype, I prefer red lipsticks that have orange or yellow undertones. The former gives classic, Old Hollywood vibes. The latter looks bright, spicy, and modern. That's why I'm adding Armani Beauty's Lip Maestro Matte Liquid Lipstick in Burn Red to my cart. It's the perfect fiery shade, and the formula is smooth, highly pigmented, and long-wearing.

I don't like heading into holiday parties empty-handed, and I think I found the perfect gift to have on hand—Voluspa's Noble Fir Garland Hand Care Duo. The hand wash and lotion are scented with seasonal notes of Douglas fir needles, juniper mint, noble fir, cedarwood, and cashmere musk. It's sure to delight any host and lend a sophisticated yet festive touch to any kitchen or bathroom.

This Nordstrom-exclusive kit contains two of Anastasia Beverly Hills' most popular eyebrow products—the Brow Wiz Brow Pencil and Brow Gel. It's the ideal gift for all of the beauty-loving people in your life, even if one of those people is you.

Repeat after me: Eye shadow primer can make or break your eye makeup look. The right one will not only prolong the wear of your favorite shadow, but it will also dial up its intensity. This one impressively extends the wear of eye shadow for up to 24 hours and prevents creasing and fading.

This lip balm doesn't just look luxurious. (Yep, those are gold flakes suspended in the formula.) It also moisturizes, smooths, and tints the lips with a sultry pink that's all thanks to a pH-reactive formula. It's so chic, and in my opinion, it's the ultimate small gift.

If you've been looking for an *actually* effective neck cream that firms, sculpts, tightens, and contours the jaw and neck area, well, the search is over. This does all of the above while plumping up fine lines and wrinkles (tech neck included), sagging, and crepiness. It's thanks to ingredients like peptides, encapsulated caffeine, and DMAE, which is naturally produced by the human body and lifts sagging skin.
