The Ultimate List of Fail-Safe Beauty Gifts According to a Gen Z Editor
Sponsor Content Created With Nordstrom

If you have a beauty lover in your life, you've probably heard them wax poetic about a dozen iconic brands and life-changing products. There's a lot to choose from, so if you're a little indecisive about what to gift them this holiday season, I've got your back. Allow me, a Gen Z beauty editor, to guide you to Nordstrom, every beauty lover's paradise. I'm amazed by the retailer's breadth of brands and products, from luxury skincare to clean makeup to the prettiest beauty tools you'll ever see. It was easy to curate a list of items I would genuinely want to give (and receive). Even better, you can get five times the points (which can be redeemed for money off) when you shop these beauty buys. The way I see it, if you're going to be shopping, you might as well get rewarded for it. Keep scrolling to see the top-tier products that I guarantee will impress.
When I stayed at a five-star hotel in L.A. recently, this was the exact lotion and body wash in the bathroom. I was instantly captivated, so I had to get some for myself.

Oribe's Gold Lust collection is to die for. The shampoo is formulated with cypress, argan, and maracuja oils to strengthen and repair the hair. It also smells absolutely divine with its fragrant blend of jasmine, sandalwood, and bergamot.
Shop the matching Gold Lust Repair & Restore Conditioner ($176).
