I shop for a living. Well, sort of. There are many duties and responsibilities associated with being a beauty editor in 2026. You have to test hundreds of new products per year, stay up-to-date on the ever-evolving industry, interview experts, learn about high-tech ingredients, and yes, shop. When I say “shop,” I mean scroll through the thousands of products on specific sites, and curate the best ones. It’s all so that you, dear reader, can skip the time and effort and see the best selection of beauty products.
That’s exactly what I did today because Nordstrom‘s Savings Event is now through May 11. During that time, you can save up to 25% on a huge selection of skincare, hair, and makeup products—not to mention high-tech devices and expensive perfumes. After spending two hours scrolling through the entire sale section, I settled on 17 must-have items. Keep scrolling to see my editor-approved curation—from attention-grabbing fragrances to LED masks, glow-boosting sunscreens, and beyond. Happy shopping!
