From LED Masks to Dyson Hair Tools: The 17 Top Beauty Items to Purchase in Nordstrom's Sneaky Sale

      (Image credit: Vault Stock) I have shopping as a part of my job. Well, somewhat. As a beauty editor in 2026, there are numerous tasks and responsibilities involved. You must try out hundreds of new products every year, keep abreast of the constantly changing industry, interview professionals, familiarize yourself with advanced ingredients, and yes, shop. By "shop," I mean browsing through thousands of products on various sites to select the best. This effort is all intended to save you, dear reader, the time and trouble, providing you with an excellent selection of beauty products.

      That's precisely what I accomplished today, as Nordstrom's Savings Event is running until May 11. During this period, you can get up to 25% off a vast range of skincare, hair, and makeup products, not to mention advanced devices and luxury perfumes. After spending two hours going through the entire sale section, I chose 17 must-have items. Keep scrolling to see my editor-approved selection—from captivating fragrances to LED masks, glow-enhancing sunscreens, and much more. Happy shopping!

      **Maison Francis Kurkdjian**

      **Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau De Parfum**

      Indeed, Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s famous Baccarat Rouge 540 is currently discounted. This warm, sweet, and timelessly elegant fragrance went viral online for a reason. It combines jasmine, saffron, cedarwood, and fir resin into an enchanting mixture that will have people leaning in for more. You can believe me when I say it’s one of the most complimented perfumes out there.

      **Dyson**

      **Airwrap I.d. Multi-Styler and Dryer**

      This is not a drill. Right now, you can save $130 on a Dyson Airwrap I.d. Multi-Styler. It features Bluetooth connectivity and crafts a personalized curling routine tailored for you based on your hair type and texture via the MyDyson app. You can interchange six versatile attachments to achieve various styles, from sleek and smooth to lively curls.

      **Ellis Brooklyn**

      **Vanilla Salt Eau De Parfum**

      While MFK’s Baccarat Rouge is a favorite throughout the year, if we’re discussing summer fragrances, I must mention Ellis Brooklyn’s Vanilla Salt. This warm, spicy, sun-kissed, and slightly creamy fragrance is hard to define but well worth the investment. It embodies a siren song in a bottle, with notes including sea salt, desert water, jasmine petals, ylang-ylang, whipped cream, and vanilla Madagascar absolute. I highly recommend it and rate it a perfect 10/10.

      **Vacation**

      **Body Mist Collector's Set**

      In my opinion, Vacation’s Body Mists are greatly underrated. They incorporate the most fun and unique fragrance notes. Take the original Vacation Body Mist, for instance. It encapsulates "the scent of sunscreen and swimming pool," featuring notes of coconut, banana, pool water, pool toy, swimsuit fabric, and more. It's truly summer in a bottle. Conversely, the After Sun Body Mist is fresh and clean, with notes of aloe vera gel, green tea, aqua di colonia, minibar gin, and line-dried linen. Lastly, the Grande Cuvée Body Mist is "pure chardonnay luxury," with notes of argan, amber, vanilla bean, peach eau de vie, sun-washed sails, and sun-kissed skin. Each one surpasses the next, making them easy to mix and match.

      **OMNILUX**

      **Contour Face LED Mask**

      LED masks are known to treat acne, stimulate collagen production, reduce wrinkles, and more. I can personally vouch for these benefits. After consistent use, I’ve noticed my skin becoming smoother, plumper, and more radiant. Among the many I’ve tried, Omnilux’s Contour Face LED Mask remains one of my top picks. It combines red and near-infrared light to penetrate deep into the skin, delivering visible results quickly.

      **OMNILUX**

      **Contour Neck & Décolleté LED Device**

      If you want to focus on that area, consider the Neck and Décolleté device (it’s what I’m doing).

      **Vacation**

      **Classic Whip Glow SPF 30**

      With summer approaching, SPF application is crucial to protect your skin from sun damage. Vacation’s original Classic Whip SPF 30 has been a reliable choice for me for quite some time, but this year I'm upgrading to the glowy version. It maintains the same luxurious, mousse-like texture while adding a hint of gold shimmer for radiant, sun-kissed skin.

      **TOM FORD**

      **Figue Érotique Eau De Parfum**

      Tom Ford’s Figue Érotique Eau De Parfum captures "the exquisite moment before a fig bursts." (You can interpret that as you wish.) Rich, juicy fig is the star, complemented by invigorating bergamot
