I’m teaming up with Nordstrom again to share some of my beauty favorites. They’re my go-to source for essentials—especially in the city because it’s so easy to order through the Nordstrom app and pick-up curbside at their downtown Westfield location. Last year when I shared my picks, I focused on skincare and makeup, so I’m excited to add haircare to the list this time around.

Laura Mercier Velour Matte Lipstick “Charmeuse”


From top to bottom:


Malin + Goetz

Renewal Moisturizer, Replenishing Serum, Malin + Goetz Eucalyptus Deodorant 

  • Detox Face Mask: I love the tiny, tingly bubbles that this mask creates once applied. After 10-15 minutes, I’ll rub the foam in a circular motion with dry hands, then rinse it off. My face is left clean and soft. Tyler has also taken a liking to all things M+G — it’s a great gift for any minimalist looking for a no-fuss skincare regime.

Laura Mercier

Velour Matte Lipstick “Charmeuse”, Micellar Water, Illuminating Eye Cream, Balancing Foam Cleanser, Eye Makeup Remover

  • The Perfect Cream Multitasking Moisturizer: This one grew on me—the trick is to warm the cream between your fingers before applying. At first, I was using way too much and took forever to absorb. Once the product is melted, it smoothes nicely across my face. 

Kiehl’s

Overnight Face Masque

  • Calendula Water Cream: Another Tyler favorite — like the name states, it goes on like water, but moisturizes as a cream. It hydrates without feeling overly greasy.

Saturday Skin

Pore Clarifying Toner, Wide Awake Brightening Eye Cream

  • Bright Potion Probiotic Power Serum: I’m really liking this one so far! I apply it after Pink Drink is fully absorbed, right before moisturizer. I’ve been using this for about three weeks and my skin feels softer and appears more even.

Youth to the People

  • Yerba Mate Resurfacing Energy Facial: When my skin is feeling tired, I’ll apply this mask in the shower and leave it on my face while I shampoo, condition, etc. This caffeinated, microdermabrasion treatment leaves my skin feeling bright and refreshed. 

Briogeo

Aloe + Oat Milk Detangling Spray (sold out, conditioner here)

  • Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner: This haircare duo will be shower staple. It smells sooooo good and keeps my hair looking healthy. Briogeo is 6-free, cruelty free and BIPOC-owned.
