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 onto 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 over days and became what we now call Cyber Week, I had landed on a routine of pulling together my wishlist long before the big hand on the clock struck 12. Of all the online retailers I've returned to over the years to score juicy deals on beauty finds, there's always a few beauty on-sale beauty tools offered by Nordstrom that I keep an eye on. Wondering which must-have products I'll be shopping for this year? Scroll on to see my top picks.

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.

This one, by Mount Lai, uses high-quality stainless steel and helps soothe, lift and depuff skin.

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, easy-to-use, and leaves skin soft and supple.
