My Ridiculously Cool Aunt Has the Best Beauty Recs—16 Nordstrom Finds We're Both Shopping on Cyber Monday

The first link my aunt drops in her neatly organized Google Doc is this techy microcurrent device from the Hailey Bieber-loved brand NuFace. Though I personally use (and love) the NuFace Mini, I’m considering an upgrade now that this complete sculpting kit is 30% off. The handheld device is great for minimizing the appearance of fine lines, firming the skin, and sculpting the jawline and cheekbones thanks to its toning microcurrent technology. Should we twin?

While skimming the skincare selection, I immediately spotted this 50% discount (yes, that much!) on one of my favorite skincare brands ever. I love Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream dearly, and this bodycare version seems like just the thing my dry skin needs as we barrel into winter. The body lotion is packed with squalane, pro-ceramides, and glacial glycoprotein to quickly hydrate dry skin and lock in moisture for up to three days, offering even eczema-prone skin a healthy dose of hydration.

My aunt has refined taste in perfume, with a vanity stocked with Byredo, Kilian, and, of course, the aforementioned MFK. But one of the scents that snagged her attention in this decorated sale is this By Rosie Jane perfume, described as a “barely there skin scent.” The warm and spicy scent is inspired by the musky sweetness of skin, like the aroma of a snuggle with someone you love. White musk and rose add an elevated touch, making this the perfect signature scent.

My aunt has her eye on this luxe sleep-enhancing diffuser set, which includes a sleek stone diffuser and the Vitruvi Sleep Essential Oil Blend. This relaxing, powdery scent is a mix of calming lavender and ylang ylang, rounded out with vetiver and Roman chamomile. It helps set the mood for bedtime so your body and mind can wind down before you even hit the sheets—plus, it doesn’t hurt that this diffuser instantly elevates a bedside table.

Speaking of wellness, this hand- and foot-care essentials set from Paume is one that I’m absolutely gifting my mom for Christmas. (Mom, stop reading this!) This collection is valued at $82, but you can snag the set on sale for just $39 during this gangbusters Cyber Monday sale. It comes stocked with a full-sized hand and foot mask for maximum moisturization, overnight hydration gloves and socks to lock everything in, and a probiotic hand balm for daytime use. Basically, it’s all of your winter skin saviors in one discounted purchase.

My aunt knows good makeup, which means that she’s no stranger to Armani Beauty’s top-tier cosmetics. The brand’s Luminous Silk Acqua Highlighter is seeing a whopping 40% off discount during this sale, which puts its five luminous shades at just $23 for a limited time. BRB, buying them all.

Speaking of gifts I’m getting for my mom, this mini Jo Malone set is the perfect gift for on-the-go perfume lovers or anyone who’s trying to find their signature scent. The set comes with five seasonal fragrances from the London-born brand, including holiday-ready Sandalwood & Spiced Apricot, Midnight Musk & Amber, and Fir & Artemisia, to name a few. Snag it while it's 20% off.

My aunt and I look forward to MAC's holiday lip bundles every year—not just because they're perfectly giftable and make knockout stocking stuffers, but because they instantly upgrade holiday glam. This duo comes with a nourishing, yet plumping lip oil while the other is a festively glittery lip gloss in a blue-red shade exclusive to this holiday set.

It's not every day that you can score a top-notch Dyson hair dryer for nearly $150 less, but today must be your lucky day. This discounted dryer is designed with your hair health in mind, outfitted with smart attachments and styling technology that prevents heat damage and protects the delicate skin on your scalp. Hairstylists and haircare brand founders recommend this dryer for anyone serious about salon-level styling sans damage.

Sometimes the gift of practicality is just what your family and friends need, which is exactly why my aunt threw this twist-up hair towel in the mix. Made with 100% microfiber, this soft material is far more absorbent than your regular bath towel—speeding up the drying process and helping prevent mildew as your hair naturally dries.

Almost every beauty editor I've asked for vanilla fragrance recommendations hits me with Tom Ford's Vanilla Sex. WWW beauty editor Kaitlyn McLintock says it's her "all-time favorite Tom Ford fragrance," calling it "modern with a touch of sexy, Old Hollywood siren." Senior beauty editor Jamie Schneider found scent nirvana by mixing Vanilla Sex with Tom Ford's Oud Voyager. Needless to say, I'm wholly intrigued (and adding it to my cart now that it's finally on sale).

The Omnilux LED face mask became a cultural phenomenon after Bella Hadid, countless editors, and celebrity aestheticians began promoting its texture-smoothing and line-minimizing results a few years back. My aunt popped this red light therapy mask onto her list because it's finally on sale, shaving $75 off of its typical price.

Another link on her detailed Google Doc takes me to these Elemis exfoliating pads, which gently removes dead skin cells to reveal smooth, even texture. But they don't stop there—each pad is infused with a probiotic ferment complex that encourages rejuvenation and helps the skin feel calm and smooth, never stripped, after each swipe.

Perhaps my mom and aunt chatted prior, because this dermaplaning tool on her wishlist is one of my mom's all-time favorite hair-removal devices. This kit comes with an automatic demaplaning device, which cuts a close shave to remove peach fuzz, plus four single-use blades, a skin prep product, and two charging necessities. Plus, it's $60 less if you buy right now.

You can never have too many hand creams on deck. Shea butter makes this Clarins formula super nourishing, even in the dead of winter. My aunt is eyeing this one to keep in one of her many fabulous purses, and I might snag one too, now that it's 30% off.

My aunt has been eyeing this chypre fragrance for its interesting fragrance profile: a cocktail of rose, ylang ylang, and rich coffee. Now, you can score a full size bottle and a travel-sized tube for just $132.
