Nordstrom’s Top Beauty Tools Have Been Haunting My Wishlist For Months—Here’s What I’m Snagging

Growing up, I remember relishing the excitement of logging on to the websites of my favorite beauty retailers during Cyber Monday. The 24 hours where my hands could fly across my computer’s keyboard and land on juicy deals were my Super Bowl since I stayed in during the excitement of Black Friday. (My family liked to keep things simple with putting up decorations and enjoying leftovers from our Thanksgiving meal.)

By the time these deals began to be spread out over days and became what we now call Cyber Week, I had landed on a routine of pulling together my wish list long before the clock struck 12. Of all the online retailers I’ve returned to over the years to score deals on beauty finds, I always keep an eye on a few on-sale beauty tools at Nordstrom. Wondering which must-have products I’ll be shopping for this year? Scroll on to see my top picks.

Skincare Essentials

HydroPeptide

CryoGlobes Set

When I wake up with a puffy face, the first thing I reach for are long-lasting cold globes to help bring down some of the swelling and brighten my complexion. This easy-to-use set by HydroPeptide promotes fluid drainage and circulation in your face, neck, and décolleté when used as part of a daily massage.

NuFace

Trinity+ Starter Kit

I already have this in my skincare routine, but I’m planning on gifting it to a family member to help revamp theirs just in time for the New Year. The NuFace Trinity+ Start Kit includes a clinically proven facial device with microcurrent technology, an attachment, and two activators to sculpt, lift, and refresh the skin.

PMD

Wave Pro 4-in-1 Pore Extractor

As much as I love booking facials whenever I have the means to do it, most of the time, I use a pore extractor like this one by PMD to help keep my skin clear. The Wave Pro 4-in-1 Pore Extractor features an advanced skin spatula that helps reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and blackheads, while the SonicGlow technology and EMS promotes glow and radiance.

Mount Lai

Stainless Steel Gua Sha Tool

Adding a gua sha tool to my beauty routine as summer transitioned to fall was one of the best things I could have done to support the health of my skin. As much as I adore the results from jade gua sha I’m using right now, I’ve been shopping for one that’s even more resilient. This one, by Mount Lai, uses high-quality stainless steel and helps soothe, lift, and de-puff skin.

Therabody

TheraFace Depuffing Wand

I’ve also had my eye on Therabody’s TheraFace Depuffing Wand to give me results in minutes. The portable device uses cold and hot facial treatments to smooth away under-eye puffiness and enlarged pores while improving circulation and radiance at the touch of a button. This one also features a contoured applicator tip designed to reach all areas of the face.

Hairstyling Must-Haves

Silk’n

SilkyStraight Infrared Hair Straightener

It’s silk-press season, so why wouldn’t I use this aptly named straightener to deliver fizz-free styling? Designed with all hair textures in mind, this hot tool uses infared technology and titanium plates to reduce styling time and heat strands from inside out. It also releases negative ions to close cuticles and preserve natural hair oils.

ghd

Chronos Styler 1-Inch Flat Iron

I always come back to GHD when it’s time for some luxury holiday gifting, and this one is at the top of my list. Its high-performance ceramic floating plates are coated with an ultra-gloss finish to leave tresses shiny, while a wishbone hinge keeps the plates aligned for fast, flawless styling.

Laifen

Swift SE High-Speed Hair Dryer

My mornings fly by, so I need a hair dryer that can move as fast as I do. This one, by Laifen, is designed to deliver fast, efficient styling while maintaining hair health with advanced technology and a lightweight, compact design. Plus, it’s equipped with a number of heat and speed settings to deliver the hairstyles of your dreams in minutes.

Bio Ionic

Smart-X High Efficiency Dryer + Diffuser

After transitioning my hair from being relaxed back to its natural, tightly wound coils, I rediscovered dryers with diffuser attachments made to work with my hair texture. I love this one because it dries strands while adding definition with gentle, dispersed airflow. It’s also worth noting that it comes with three heat and speed settings and is self-cleaning.

Dyson

Supersonic Nural Hair Dryer

Cyber Week also offers the prefect opportunity to pick up a Dyson hot tool at a jaw-dropping discount. The Dyson Supersonic Nural Hair Dryer delivers diffused and defined curls and waves with five attachments and cutting-edge technology that recognizes each one as you use it and adapts to your preferred settings. Right now, it’s available in a stunning copper shade (Amber Silk).

Bodycare Favorites

NuFace

NuBody Skin Toning Microcurrent Device Kit

If I’m going to be shopping for a new NuFace tool to add to my collection, you can bet I’ll also be buying the NuBody Skin Toning Microcurrent Device Set to whip my body into shape. It firms and tones larger treatment areas (such as arms, thighs, abs, and glutes), visibly reduces the appearance of crepey skin, and targets uneven texture with microcurrent.

Philips Norelco

Epilator Series 8000

After years of shaving, waxing, and threading, I’ve finally made the decision to invest in this high-efficiency epilator. It uses ceramic tweezers to capture fine hairs (with multiple caps and accessories) and multiple speed settings. I also like that it’s cordless and designed for wet and dry use. I have no idea what took me so long to give it a try!

In my opinion, one of the biggest mistakes you can make in the shower is to not spend enough time buffing away dry skin. This Body Buffer is gentle and easy to use and leaves skin soft and supple. The exfoliating, hypoallergenic sponge is infused with foaming bodywash that releases a blend of perfumes and natural essences.

HigherDose

Supercharge Copper Body Brush

This copper body brush uses ion-charged bristles to encourage lymphatic drainage while also offering gentle exfoliation, reducing cellulite, and restoring the skin’s electromagnetic balance. Beyond exfoliation, its ion-charged bristles create friction with the body and release neutralizing ions to lift your natural energy state.

Kate McLeod

The Dry Brush

Another body tool I’m planning to have on hand for all my showers in 2026 is Kate McLeod’s The Dry Brush. It primes the skin for optimal absorption of bodywash, serums, and lotions using firm-yet-soft bristles for exfoliation, cell renewal, and detoxification. This brush is also designed to be used with the Body Stone solid moisturizer (sold separately).
