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

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.

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 attachments, and two activators to sculpt, lift, and refresh the skin.

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.

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 depuff skin.

I've also had me 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 undereye 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.

It's silk press season, so why wouldn't I use this aptly named straighter 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.

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 coating with an ultra-gloss finish to leave tresses shiny, while a wishbone hinge keeps the plates aligned for fast, flawless styling.

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.

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 it dries strands while adding juicy definition with gentle, dispersed airflow. It's also worth noting that it comes with three heat and speed settings, and is self-cleaning.

Cyber Week also offers the prefect opportunity to pick up a Dyson hot tool at jaw-dropping discounts. 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).

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 a targeted microcurrent.

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 its 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, easy-to-use, and leaves skin soft and supple. The exfoliating, hypo-allergenic sponge is infused with foaming body wash that releases a blend of perfumes and natural essences.

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 releases neutralizing ions to lift your natural energy state.

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 body wash, serums, and lotions using firm-yet-soft bristles for exfoliation, cell renewal, and detoxification. This brush is also designed with the Body Stone solid moisturizer (sold separately).
