As a beauty editor responsible for testing a multitude of skincare, makeup, and hair products each year, I've made it a tradition to schedule an annual spring cleaning in either March or April. During this time, I recycle empty beauty containers, check expiration dates, and donate any extras or duplicates. I also focus on deep-cleaning my brushes and wiping down my makeup bag. There’s something uniquely satisfying about a beauty-focused spring cleaning that A) uplifts my spirits and B) marks the arrival of a fresh season. This year, I'm feeling particularly motivated to dive into my spring cleaning early, largely thanks to Nordstrom's new arrivals section. With a selection that includes fresh floral fragrances, luscious lip oils, luxurious eyeliners, and transformative body serums, I'm inspired to refresh and revamp my beauty routine as soon as possible. After all, who said you have to wait for winter to end? Below, discover 13 new and exciting beauty products from Nordstrom that have caught my attention.
Parfums de Marly
Athénaïs Eau de Parfum
I’m not alone in my enthusiasm for Parfums de Marly's latest fragrance launch; the entire Who What Wear beauty team seems to be wearing it as frequently as I do. Inspired by Athénaïs de Montespan, a notable French noblewoman and mistress of King Louis XIV, this scent aims to embody "fearless femininity." It's both sparkling and sophisticated, featuring notes of neroli, bergamot, jasmine, orange flower, tonka bean, and vanilla. My colleague, Jamie Schneider, Who What Wear's senior beauty editor, says, "I’m a devoted fan of Parfums de Marly Delina, but I’m officially declaring the brand’s newest release my ultimate favorite. (This is significant, as nothing has surpassed my beloved Delina since its introduction in 2017.) … While Delina has playful notes of lychee and rhubarb, Athénaïs comes across as more refined with jasmine and orange blossom. I've been wearing it nonstop."
Victoria Beckham
Satin Kajal Liner
Creamy, smudge-proof, and incredibly chic—there’s no eyeliner the editors appreciate more than Victoria Beckham Beauty's Satin Kajal Liner. It glides easily along the lid, offers vibrant color, and comes in the most stylish shades. It’s one of the few beauty products I feel the urge to collect in every available hue.
Le Labo
Violette 30 Eau de Parfum
Apologies, Santal 33, but Le Labo's Violette 30 is set to be 2026's must-have fragrance. This scent explores the violet and its varied meanings throughout history. In the Victorian era, violets suggested passion and innocence, strength and delicacy, wisdom and optimism. It’s this intriguing duality that the brand captured in this fragrance, blending rare white violet with green floral nuances, white tea notes, and cedarwood. It’s soft, beautiful, and refined—the ideal scent for spring.
La Mer
The Rejuvenating Eye Cream
Turning 30 this year means I’m officially entering my eye-cream phase. I’m always on the lookout for the best product to address and prevent fine lines, under-eye circles, and puffiness, and I believe I’ve found it in La Mer's The Rejuvenating Eye Cream. Is it pricey? Yes, but it promises 360-degree benefits for the eye area. In just four weeks, it can improve firmness, plumpness, smoothness, elasticity, and radiance.
OSEA
Dream Bio-Retinol Body Serum
As I mentioned, I'm also focusing on body care, and Osea's Dream Bio-Retinol Body Serum is quickly becoming my go-to. It works overnight to diminish the visible signs of stress on the skin—like loss of firmness, dullness, dryness, and more. This is achieved with algae-derived bio-retinol, red seaweed, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide. The inclusion of magnesium and lavender helps promote a serene state for sleep.
DIOR
Forever Skin Bronzer
Dior's new Forever Skin Bronzer Sticks are exceptionally luxurious. They blend seamlessly on the skin, offering a long-lasting and natural-looking glow. Beware! You might just convince everyone that you've returned from an extravagant beach vacation, as the sun-kissed hue appears nearly undetectable on the skin.
HENRY ROSE
London 1983 Eau de Parfum
I've eagerly awaited this new fragrance from Henry Rose, and now that it's here, it's going straight into my shopping cart! Inspired by a perfume Michelle Pfeiffer discovered in London in (you guessed it) 1983, it features warm, skin-like notes that include black pepper–infused fig (delicious), water lily, jasmine, and blonde woods.
