Bags

Winning as a one-stop-shop this holiday season, Nordstrom is the mecca of all things beauty with perks rarely exercised by the competition. Known for some of the most desirable exclusives with brands we all know and love, the flawlessly curated gift options are out of control this year. Lucky to have previewed the entire line up a couple of weeks ago, this skincare junkie went in a full on drool mode. Covering the latest innovations and iconic favorites, everyone on your list including that hostess with the mostest and your mom who insists on having everything and needing nothing, check out the fantastic offers and my suggestions below.
