Nowadays there are plenty of places that you can shop for beauty products, but there’s nothing quite like going to Nordstrom and shopping through all the stalls of your favorite beauty brands. From stellar skin care to must-have makeup, Nordstrom has plenty of exceptional products that have become staples in our editors’ beauty regimens. Here’s a glimpse into those favorite products that you can find in Nordstrom’s beauty department.
This new body serum from OSEA has quickly become one of my favorite products for summer. It’s a great lightweight layer for keeping your skin hydrated without feeling greasy or sticky. I like to apply it under my sunscreen, but it also works as a soothing layer after you’ve gotten too much sun, replenishing the skin with moisture. My only complaint is that I’ve gone through my bottle in under a month since I’ve been applying it daily. — Sophie Shaw, editor, beauty and fashion
If applying SPF is a bore, add this shimmer oil from Vacation into your routine. It is lightweight, super easy to apply and smells great. I’ve been putting it on my arms and legs this summer for an extra pop. — Elena Matarazzo, associate editor, deals
I love all of Oribe’s products but especially this texturizing spray. The smell is divine and makes me feel (and smell) like I just stepped out of a salon. It builds really great volume and texture without causing leftover residue or that sticky feeling that some texturizing sprays can leave behind. It’s expensive, but it lasts a long time and blowouts last much longer with a spritz of this. — Rachel Quigley, managing editor
This is my go-to lip product for any occasion. It’s super light with a satin finish that provides a subtle tint that livens up your lips. I appreciate that it feels nourishing on the lips since I tend to have drier skin. Also, a plus for all of my “Lord of the Rings” fanatics, this is the lipstick they use on Arwen to give her that beautiful glowy look that I always chased after! — Tess Eberhardt, editorial coordinator
[This is] one of the only clear brow gels that I’ve found that stays on all day and hasn’t been crunchy. A little goes a long way, so one tube can last a long time. — Lindsey Smith, associate editor, newsletters
If you want a sunscreen to truly make you sparkle in the sun, this product will do just that. I love applying it on my face in the morning then throwing it in my bag for when I’m on the go or headed to the beach. It goes on smooth and sheer, though there is a strong chance you might be asked if there is glitter on your face. If shimmer is your thing, you’ll love the On-The-Glow Stick. — Gareen Puglia, associate writer, testing
The Shark FlexStyle is a versatile multistyler that can help you achieve a salon-level blowout at home. It’s one of the more advanced multistylers I’ve tested and a great alternative if you’re not looking to spend the $600 on a Dyson Airwrap — especially when it’s on sale for under $300. — Sophie Shaw, editor, beauty and fashion
This has been my signature scent for years. It’s a bold floral scent that’s also got some warmth to it. I’ve had strangers stop me on the street to ask what perfume I’m wearing, and I’ve convinced several people to buy it for themselves. — Amina Lake Abdelrahman, editor, home and gifts
I started bleaching and coloring my previously extremely healthy hair about two years ago, and this is one of the few products I’ve found that was able to manage my suddenly disastrous ends (and, really, entire lower half of my hair). I just put a few drops in dry hair in the morning or before I go out if it’s looking especially distressed and it makes it magically smooth and soft without looking like I’ve overstyled it. — Rena Behar, copy editor
If my skin is begging for hydration, I reach for Caudalíe’s Vinosource-Hydra SOS Deep-Hydration Serum. This oil-free, water-based serum is super lightweight but offers intense moisture, thanks to hyaluronic acid. — Tamara Kraus, senior editor, lifestyle
If you want long-lasting nail polish that looks like a professional manicure, Deborah Lippmann is the brand to get. I have dozens of these polishes and am always receiving compliments on my mani. — Lindsey Smith, associate editor, newsletters
After years of bleaching and dying my hair, my hair had become increasingly dry. I didn’t realize this until I used the Moroccanoil shampoo! After using it the first time, there was a noticeable difference in my hair’s softness and shine. My absolute favorite part about it, though, is the scent. Now every time I exit the shower, my hair smells and feels like I just went to a salon. — Tess Eberhardt, editorial coordinator
This is a splurge that I simply can’t quit. The unique gel formula contains pigment droplets that creates such a natural-looking tint. It’s really the epitome of no-makeup makeup. You can’t see it sitting on the skin, but you’ll instantly notice a glowy, enhanced effect after blending it out. — Sophie Shaw, editor, fashion and beauty
I had been neglecting my skin for a while due to a ton of traveling and generally being really busy, so I knew I needed a major reset to fix my tired and dry skin. A friend recommended this to me, and oh boy, did it really do the trick. This smells and feels amazing; my skin drank it up as soon as I slathered it on, so it didn’t leave a greasy residue. The cute cosmetics bag was an added bonus. — Rachel Quigley, managing editor
It’s no secret our editors are big fans of Vacation’s luxe SPF products that make you actually want to put on sunscreen. This one made with grapeseed oil is my latest go-to — I used it on my recent trip to California and the oil made my skin baby soft. Plus, it’s water-resistant up to 80 minutes and makes your skin look super glowy. If you’re a fan of body oils, you’ll definitely want to add this Chardonnay Oil SPF 30 to your beach bag this summer. — Tamara Kraus, senior editor, lifestyle
I happened upon this body wash at T.J. Maxx and was super excited to try it when I saw that it contained aloe vera and coconut water. Since using it, I’ve noticed my razor burn has calmed down and and my skin feels hydrated. — Elena Matarazzo, associate editor, deals
I have gone through two bottles of this serum this year alone. It is my absolute favorite. It absorbs quickly, has a lovely subtle scent and makes my skin feel super soft and look hydrated and plump. — Lindsey Smith, associate editor
Nordstrom has a bunch of my favorite skin care basics, like this cleansing oil. It breaks down makeup (even waterproof formulas!) in seconds and has such a silky feeling on the skin. It’s one of my favorite first steps for a double-cleansing routine. And the 5.1-ounce bottle will last you months. — Sophie Shaw, editor, fashion and beauty
If you’re looking for an addition to your eye makeup, I recommend Kaja’s bento eye shadows. These eye shadows are conveniently packed into three tiers, which makes it easy to store in your purse or bag. Whenever I wear the glitter shadow, people are always coming up to me asking what eye shadow I’m using. — Tess Eberhardt, editorial coordinator
I’ve never really been a lipstick person, but that changed when I tried Pillow Talk for the first time. This ultra-flattering shade is what I reach for when I feel like my lips just need that little extra something to make them pop. It’s close enough to my natural color that I know it won’t look too bold on my skin, and the matching lip liner and stick duo in this kit are just a no-brainer for putting together a solid lip look with ease. — Jillian Tracy, associate editor
