    At this point, I’m fully ready to camp out at my local Nordstrom because the sales are simply too good. The latest on the docket is the retailer’s early Black Friday deals, including everything from fragrance and makeup to skincare and more. In fact, you can consider this your pre-holiday shopping list simplified, especially for the luxury beauty lover in your life.

    ​As a little teaser, tons of products I know and love are already on sale, plus others I’ve been wanting to try for a while. Think Kiehl’s most popular face cream, Tom Ford complexion products and tools, as well as body moisturizers galore, which feel particularly important to stock up on as we head into the cold, dreary winter months.

    ​Of course, if parsing through online sales isn’t your idea of a good time, don't worry—it is for me, so I’ve done the grunt work for you and have found the best luxury beauty products on sale during Nordstrom’s early Black Friday deals. So whether you’re ready to chip away at that holiday gifting list that seems to keep on growing, want to treat yourself with some new beauty goodies, or are running out of some of your current favorites and want to switch it up, keep reading for all the products I recommend picking up from Nordstrom, from the lens of a beauty writer who has access to it all—and will only recommend the best of the best.

    The 7 Best Luxury Beauty Products at Nordstrom’s Early Black Friday Deals Event

    • Best Concealer: Tom Ford Traceless Soft Matte Concealer
    • Best Daily Face Cream: Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream
    • Best Recovery Face Cream: Lancôme Absolue Premium Bx Night Recovery Night Cream
    • Best Hair Tool: Pursonic Triple Barrel Curler
    • Best Body Oil: Lake & Skye 11 11 Body Oil
    • Best Hair Perfume: Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia Hair Mist
    • Best Makeup Brush: Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate Brush

    Best Concealer

    Traceless Soft Matte Concealer With Hyaluronic Acid

    TOM FORD
    Traceless Soft Matte Concealer With Hyaluronic Acid
    $43
    SHOP NOW

    I’ve long been obsessed with Tom Ford’s Soft Matte concealer, and I recommend it every time I see it on sale. It not only covers dark circles, but I also love its firmer texture for blemish coverage and sometimes as foundation. It’s super versatile, and next-level pigmented—a luxury concealer that anyone with any skin type can use.

    ​Review: “I have super dry, mature under eyes. I have hundreds of concealers, and this one is a game changer. Price point is hefty, but it looks great. Stays put. Doesn’t look cakey. Love it.” — Nordstrom.

    Best Daily Face Cream

    Ultra Facial Cream

    Kiehl's Since 1851
    Ultra Facial Cream
    $20
    SHOP NOW

    I have loved this face cream for almost 10 years straight, and if that’s not commitment, then I don’t know what is. Glycerin, ceramides, squalene, and more drench this skin in moisture, yet the moisturizer somehow stays lightweight enough to wear every day without weighing it down. It’s an obsession at this point. Snag the refill size for the most bang for your buck.

    ​Review: “I added a photo sans makeup… I’m 50, and the product packed a punch 9f non-greasy moisture. My skin felt supple and clean… this photo is after 48 hours of use as recommended. I’m going to be a customer for life.” — Nordstrom

    Best Recovery Face Cream

    Absolue Premium Bx Night Recovery Night Cream

    Lancôme
    Absolue Premium Bx Night Recovery Night Cream
    $221
    SHOP NOW

    For skincare lovers, winter means one thing: treatment season, and that means you need a recovery moisturizer to help your skin bounce back after lasers, peels, and microneedling. This one from Lancôme supports healing with ingredients like glycerin, shea butter, and sea algae, plus a rich, emollient formula that nourishes skin with a veil of moisture.

    ​Review: “Being pregnant along with dry winter air has taken a toll on my skin! I received a sample of this night cream and decided to try it for a week. What a difference. In the morning, my skin is soft and renewed. Blemishes are not nearly as noticeable, and my skin is getting better every day. I love this product so much that I purchased the full size, and I could not be happier. It is expensive, but well worth the money for the soothing nature of this product. Skin is rejuvenated and soft!” — Nordstrom

    Best Hair Tool

    Triple Barrel Curler

    PURSONIC
    Triple Barrel Curler
    $24
    SHOP NOW

    I’m on a quest to finally learn how to properly curl my hair, and so far, I’ve been failing. So I’ve been hunting for easy-to-use tools, and this barrel curler is 100 percent on my radar. Not only does it style larger sections of hair at once, but the swivel cord works for me, and I try slightly inhuman angles while figuring out this curling situation, which feels like a win for me, design-wise.

    ​Review: “I’m the world's most impatient person when it comes to styling my hair, but this triple barrel is amazing. It creates those deep, gorgeous waves in seconds. My mornings are completely transformed! Plus, it has heat controls, which I appreciate. My hair looks super styled but still natural, like I put in so much effort (spoiler: I didn’t). It’s lightweight, heats up fast, and the purple color is just iconic!” — Nordstrom

    Best Body Oil

    11 11 Body Oil

    Lake & Skye
    11 11 Body Oil
    $36
    SHOP NOW

    If clean-smelling scents are your jam, this body oil from Lake & Skye will be the peanut butter to your body care sandwich. It has the corresponding perfume’s famous scent, featuring an ozonic accord, amberwood, and white musk. If white T-shirts could have a signature scent, it’d be this.

    ​Review: “I'm obsessed with this oil! I'm not one to repurchase a product, even if I love it, because I love trying new things, but this has officially become a staple for me in my routine - this is bottle #2. This scent is so, so good I can't live without it.” — Nordstrom

    Best Hair Perfume

    English Pear & Freesia Hair Mist

    Jo Malone London
    English Pear & Freesia Hair Mist
    $47
    SHOP NOW

    Hair perfume is the unexpected part of a scent routine that can make all the difference, and Jo Malone’s English Pear and Freesia scent is for anyone who loves that clean, slightly shampoo-like scent profile. The notes include pear, freesia, and patchouli, and if you want the scent to project even more, spray it on your body or clothes like a traditional perfume.

    ​Review: “Really love this hair mist! I actually use this as an alternative to my perfume, and it does the job! My hair smells good all throughout the day, and I get a lot of compliments as well!” — Nordstrom

    Best Makeup Brush

    #04 Shade and Illuminate Brush

    TOM FORD
    #04 Shade and Illuminate Brush
    $38
    SHOP NOW

    Not enough people talk about the Tom Ford makeup brushes, and it’s a crime. This brush is technically made to pair with the Shade and Illuminate palette, but it’s a fantastic cream bronzer brush and perfect for carving out the brow area. It’s a luxury tool that, yes, costs a pretty penny, but it should last you years on end.

    ​Review: “Absolutely gorgeous brush and worth the long wait! The construction is so solid and the brush hairs so smooth, applying it on is a pleasant experience. I really appreciate that TF makes thick brush handles, which makes it much easier to work with long-term. Super new still and hasn't been cleaned/used multiple times yet. I also plan to test it with different liquid/creams, but overall I think this is beautiful, soft for sensitive skin, and easy to hold for long periods.” — Nordstrom
