This year, Black Friday falls on November 29, although you can expect to see deals last through December 2, AKA Cyber Monday. You may have already started bookmarking the best beauty products to buy (skincare, hair, makeup, and fragrance—oh my!). But what if I told you you could snag some deals a few weeks early? Yep. Right now, Nordstrom is having an early Black Friday sale, and after scrolling through every item on sale (yes, every single one!), I’ve added 11 to my cart. Talk about being prepared. Keep scrolling to see every can’t-miss item.
1. Tom Ford Café Rose Eau De Parfum Set
TOM FORD
Café Rose Eau De Parfum Set
This limited-edition set includes two sizes of a beauty editor-beloved fragrance—Tom Ford Café Rose Eau de Parfum. It’s rich and luxurious, featuring notes of Turkish rose, rose Bulgaria, dark coffee, coriander, patchouli, and cardamom. Just like a really great cup of coffee, you’ll keep coming back for more.
2. Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream Home & Away Duo
Kiehl’s Since 1851
Ultra Facial Cream Home & Away Duo
No matter how many moisturizers I test, I always return to a select few, and Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream is one of them. With a skin-comforting formula composed of squalane, glacial glycoproteins, and ceramides, I have yet to find a single person who doesn’t love what it does for their skin. I’m adding this Home & Away Duo to my cart RN. It includes one full-size and one travel-size version of the iconic moisturizer.
3. T3 Featherweight Stylemax Dryer
T3
Featherweight Stylemax Dryer
2025 is the year of intelligent hair dryers (you heard it here first), and this one is at the top of my list. It has four style modes, five heat settings, and three speed settings to truly customize your at-home blowout. Plus, it has a powerful ion generator that delivers 10 million negative ions per second for the smoothest, shiniest strands.
4. Tom Ford Soleil Glow Bronzer
TOM FORD
Soleil Glow Bronzer
This luxe bronzer makes the skin look so natural and sunkissed that it’s the real-life, behind-the-scenes secret for many A-list celebs (including men like Cillian Murphy). I don’t know about you, but my dull skin could use a glow now that it’s almost winter, so I’m snagging one (or two) while it’s still on sale.
5. Apotheke Bitter Cherry Reed Diffuser
APOTHEKE
Bitter Cherry Reed Diffuser
Scent is powerful, and it can dictate memory and mood, which is why one of my favorite compliments to receive is “Your house smells incredible.” This Apotheke Bitter Cherry Reed Diffuser is my latest home fragrance obsession. Notes of black cherry, cardamom, chili pepper, sandalwood, black violet, tonka bean, and vanilla combine to create *the* warm and spicy scent of the winter.
6. Armani Beauty Lip Maestro Matte Liquid Lipstick
ARMANI beauty
Lip Maestro Matte Liquid Lipstick in 418 Burn Red
While red lipsticks that have blue undertones tend to get all the hype, I prefer red lipsticks that have orange or yellow undertones. The former gives classic, old-Hollywood vibes. The latter looks bright, spicy, and modern. That’s why I’m adding Armani Beauty’s Lip Maestro Matte Liquid Lipstick in Burn Red to my cart. It’s the perfect fiery shade, and the formula is smooth, highly pigmented, and long-wearing.
7. Voluspa Noble Fir Garland Hand Care Duo Gift Set
Voluspa
Noble Fir Garland Hand Care Duo Gift Set
I don’t like heading into holiday parties empty-handed, and I think I found the perfect gift to have on hand—Voluspa’s Noble Fir Garland Hand Care Duo. The hand wash and lotion set is scented with seasonal notes of Douglas fir needles, juniper mint, noble fir, cedarwood, and cashmere musk. It’s sure to delight any host and lend a sophisticated, yet festive touch to any kitchen or bathroom.
8. Anastasia Beverly Hills Natural & Polished Deluxe Eyebrow Kit
Anastasia Beverly Hills
Natural & Polished Deluxe Eyebrow Kit
This Nordstrom-exclusive kit contains two of Anastasia Beverly Hills’ most popular eyebrow products—the Brow Wiz Brow Pencil and Brow Gel. It’s the ideal gift for all the beauty-obsessed people in your life (even if one of those people is you).
9. MAC Prep + Prime 24-Hour Extend Eye Base Primer
MAC Cosmetics
Prep + Prime 24-Hour Extend Eye Base Primer
Repeat after me: Eyeshadow primer can make or break your eye-makeup look. Use the right one, and it will not only prolong the wear of your favorite shadow, but it will also dial up its intensity. This one impressively extends the wear of eye shadow for up to 24 hours and prevents creasing and fading
10. Tom Ford Lip Blush
This lip balm doesn’t just look luxurious (yep, those are gold flakes suspended in the formula). It also moisturizes, smooths, and tints the lips with a sultry pink shade that’s all thanks to a pH-reactive formula. It’s so chic, and in my opinion, the ultimate stocking stuffer.
11. Perricone MD Cold Plasma+ Sub-D Neck Treatment
Perricone MD
Cold Plasma+ Sub-D Neck Treatment
If you’ve been looking for an *actually* effective neck cream that firms, sculpts, tightens, and contours the jaw and neck area…well, the search is over. This does all of the above while plumping up fine lines and wrinkles (tech neck included), sagging, and crepiness. It’s thanks to ingredients like peptides, encapsulated caffeine, and DMAE, which is naturally produced by the human body and lifts sagging skin.
