My Friend Has $250 to Spend at Nordstrom—These Affordable Items Are the Chicest

My friend recently texted me that she received a $250 gift card from Nordstrom as a present. She often enjoys it when I make shopping edits for her (which comes with the territory as a fashion editor), so she asked if I’ve seen anything at Nordy that would be worth adding to her wardrobe. Naturally, I had a range of items bookmarked from market research.

24 Pairs of Chunky Sandals That Will Sell Out by March

There were a handful of sandal trends that dominated our feeds last spring and summer, from tricky-toe straps to the bedazzled heels we saw grace the feet of just about every fashion person. As we approach open-toe season once again, there's another cool-girl style to keep on your radar, one that's been trending for the last couple of years and shows no signs of slowing down: chunky-sole sandals. These lean more into the "ugly" footwear category and are arguably more comfortable than their stiletto-heeled counterparts—something that anyone who isn't particularly fond of towering heels can appreciate. Sandal season may seem like a distant dream for some of us. It's currently snowing outside of my NYC apartment as I type this, but the fact is that spring will be here again before we know it. I like to get my seasonal shopping done ahead of time, so I went ahead and rounded up the 24 best pairs of chunky-sole sandals that are guaranteed to sell out by March. Keep scrolling to shop my picks before it's too late.

Chunky flatform soles make for great statement shoes.

These were made for stomping.

Add some serious height with these chunky white platforms.

Yep, I've already been saving up for these.

You can't go wrong with sequins.

These chunky yet understated slides are perfect for every day.

The speckled sole is a nice touch.

The ultimate chunky sandals.

These are so '90s.

These are cute and super comfortable.

One word: love.

I'm loving the hardware on this pair.

This cream adds a little sweetness to an otherwise sporty pair of shoes.

Not your average sandals.

I'd like these rubber Gucci mules in every color, please.

I'm here for this colorway.

Classic.

I'm loving the straps on these.

These Proenzas are so chic.

Here's another great '90s-inspired pair.

Dr. Martens may be known for its iconic boots, but don't sleep on the brand's chunky sandals.

I'll be pairing this affordable pick with all of my spring sundresses.

These will add just the right amount of height.

For a more understated chunky sole, opt for this pair.

Foundation Sticks Are Taking Over—11 That Makeup Artists and Editors Swear By

Foundation (much like mascara) can be a very personal thing. Some prefer a liquid or powder formula, while others thrive by using a quick swipe-and-blend method with a trusty stick. I will tell you one thing. Celebrity makeup artists and beauty editors alike happen to use foundation sticks the most. Why? Well for starters, celebrity makeup artist Judi Gabbay considers them the easiest and most effortless way to apply a base.

Editors and makeup artists also agree that using a beauty sponge is key when applying a product like this. It helps create a gorgeous, seamless finish no matter what level of coverage you're looking for. If you're now itching to try one for yourself or are looking for some new favorites to add to your rotation, keep scrolling! I've rounded up a comprehensive list of editor- and makeup artist–loved foundation sticks below.

This buttery formula from Ulta provides a really natural-looking finish and contains soft-focus powders to blur texture and pores. Additional skincare ingredients in the formula include hyaluronic acid, green tea extract, and vitamins C and E to condition the skin.

As far as drugstore options go, L'Oréal's is one of the best. It provides medium to full coverage, melts right into your skin, and contains a bit of sun protection with SPF 20.

"One of my all-time favorites would be the Make Up For Ever Ultra HD stick for its full-coverage satin finish that looks like a second skin. For a more natural finish, I apply straight from the stick and then buff out with a damp beauty sponge. A few different shades of these can also be used as highlight and contour and be diffused together for a natural-feeling sculpt. My favorite prep for this product would be an emollient moisturizer followed by a cosmetic oil, such as Charlotte Tilbury's collagen oil. Let your skincare absorb and follow with the HD stick in the center of the face. Using a damp beauty sponge, stipple the product until it's so blended that you can't tell where your skin is." — Judi Gabbay, celebrity makeup artist

"For a versatile product, try Bobbi Brown's Skin Foundation Stick. For either spot concealing or more full coverage, this multiuse product is also great for the gal on the go. With an extensive 40-shade range, it's easy to find a close match." — Gabbay

This multiuse stick from Merit is a favorite among the WWW beauty team. The coverage is a bit on the lighter side, but I love the way it blends and how lightweight it is on the skin.

WWW Beauty Director Erin Jahns cites this full-coverage stick from Westman Atelier as a favorite because the "coverage is stunning and it glides onto the skin and blends like butter."

"This foundation stick is easy to swipe on straight from the tube and blend out with a Beautyblender. I find makeup sponges work better than brushes with most foundation sticks. … There's just something about them that helps blend the product out smoother. When I take the time to blend it out, it looks natural and seamless on my skin." — Kaitlyn McLintock, associate beauty editor

I reviewed this viral TikTok foundation stick last year, and it's now one of my all-time favorites. The formula is so smooth, and the coverage is incredibly buildable. I love that this formula can actually be built to full coverage. I can't tell you how many times I've tried a foundation that *claims* to be buildable, but the coverage looks the same, even if I pile on more product. This is one of the few that does what it says and leaves such a beautiful finish.

"Even though this is technically a concealer, I use it like foundation. The trick is to swipe it on in problem areas. (For me, that's my T-zone, which is where my rosacea pops up.) Then I take a damp Beautyblender and blend it out using a blotting motion. I add a little bronzer and blush over the top, and my redness is covered all day long." — McLintock

No creasing or caking here—this foundation stick from Milk Makeup offers medium coverage and boasts skincare ingredients like marshmallow-root extract, blue lotus, and chamomile. Each work together to calm, soothe, and deeply hydrate the skin.

Tom Ford's Traceless Foundation Stick is another that's designed to provide sheer, medium, or full coverage. It creates a second-skin look and even adds a hair of luminosity IMO.

Using the Wrong Hair Toner Can Wreck Your Color—How to Pick Your Perfect Match

If you color your hair, I'm sure you've asked your stylist once or twice what shampoo and conditioner are best to use for upkeep (maybe even a hair mask or two), but you're also missing one key item that can keep your hair color extra vibrant for longer.

I'll be the first to admit that I didn't know much about hair toners until I asked a hairstylist or two. To sum up, they're really useful if you're trying to eliminate unwanted tones from your hair color. Downside? You absolutely need to choose the right one for your specific color, otherwise, it could end very badly. No need to worry, though—I've asked the experts to give us the full rundown on the best hair toners and which one you should use. Keep reading for what they had to share.

I know all the salon jargon can get confusing, so let me start by explaining exactly what a hair toner is. Celebrity hairstylist Glenn Ellis breaks it down. "A toner, or sometimes called a gloss, is a semi-permanent hair dye," he says. "This means it's not permanent and it fades. It's primarily used to adjust the tone of your hair. Clients who get their hair lightened often get a toner in order to neutralize the brass or yellow and orange tones they see. The toner is what really personalizes your color."

A toning treatment can be done in the salon, but there are also great at-home options you can use to boost your natural hair color or keep your color-treated locks looking vibrant. Ellis says "at-home toners really work for neutralizing the unwanted tones you see and often are pigmented shampoos and conditioners. If you are blonde, you'll want to reach for one that is purple-based in order to get rid of the yellowy tones. If you are brunette, you'll want to reach for one that is blue-based to get rid of orangey tones. I also recommend talking to your colorist after you get your color done about what products they recommend in order to help preserve your specific color and what at-home toners they recommend." Although Ellis prefers in-salon toners, celebrity hairstylist Jennifer Korab offered a few at-home options she loves below.

Korab loves this at-home gloss from Pureology to tone and revive the hair. It lasts up to eight washes, neutralizes unwanted tones in your color, and includes hydrating ingredients like oat milk and camellia oil.

As far as in-salon toners go, Korab loves Redken's EQ Gloss. Korab isn't the first to tell me how great this one is, either. Stylists love this pigment-depositing option since it can be used as an all-over color, color corrector, or as a shine-boosting treatment on natural color.

Color-depositing conditioner can be another great option for toning the hair, especially this boosting gloss and conditioning treatment from DpHue. It comes in a variety of shades and adds serious hydration to strands that might be damaged due to coloring.

Davines' Alchemic Conditioner also comes in a variety of hair-toning shades. It intensifies and illuminates your natural hair hue or your color-treated locks. It will also help colored strands appear vibrant for longer.

Blondes will love this toning shampoo from Olaplex. It's purple to help neutralize brassiness in the hair and contains Olaplex's next-level bond repair ingredient to restore strength to brittle or damaged strands.

This toning shampoo and conditioner set from Matrix is another great option for blondes and those with gray or platinum-toned hair. It eliminates dull, yellow undertones while adding major hydration to the hair.

Brunettes looking to keep their rich chestnut hue will want to try a blue-toned shampoo to neutralize any orange tones.

If you've been dealing with some damage or your colored hair is just a bit on the dry side this winter, try this keratin mask on Amazon that also neutralizes yellow/brassy tones.

IGK also offers this color-depositing mask in a great variety of shades to help add vibrancy to your color. If you dye your hair black, using this shade is a great way to keep it looking fresh.

I always talk about how great Kristin Ess formulas are and this shampoo and conditioner set is yet another winner from the celebrity hairstylist. It's also pretty affordable for the set, which I also love.

This color-enhancing mask from Christophe Robin is a temporary color mask that boosts your hair's red hues and infuses it with hydrating botanical oils to hep repair strands.

These color-toning drops from Bouclème is enriched with deep blue tones that you can add to your shampoo, conditioner, or deep conditioning treatments. These drops are also made for those with curls so they add some serious additional moisture.

15 Amazing-Smelling Products That Will Make You Wonder Why You've Used Any Other

For the most part, I go through phases of being attracted to particular fragrances in my skin and body care products. From one month to another, I may gravitate towards light, powdery florals only to find myself needed something with a hint of sugar and spice. However, there's one fragrance I love in all my products that I always find myself coming back to when I'm in the mood for feeling clean, relaxed, and in control: eucalyptus. In fact, I'm such a big eucalyptus fan that my shower routine isn't complete without a fresh bunch of eucalyptus hanging from the shower head so that I can always get that spa-worthy experience for a fraction of the price.

While I love using skin and body care products that market themselves as having eucalyptus oil as one of it's main ingredients, I only use products from trusted brands to avoid causing any harm to the skin. To better understand stand what makes eucalyptus oil tricky to balance correctly in products, I spoke to Dr. Audrey Kunin, board certified dermatologist and founder of DERMAdoctor. "While eucalyptus oil is promoted as an ingredient with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory benefits, there are no clinical studies that support its use," begins Kunin. "At this time, I would recommend it only as a moisturizing agent. Please be aware it can lead to itching and irritation for some."

So which products using eucalyptus oil as its main selling point pass the test? Keep scrolling to find out which 15 eucalyptus-scented products I trust to keep my skin looking and feeling amazing.

Founded in 2018, Nećessaire has established itself as a global skincare brand known for its unique, Scandinavian minimalist branding sustainable approach to beauty. Offering products ranging from fragrance-free body lotion to fast-drying deodorant gel, Necéssaire is all about giving your body the high-quality care and attention it deserves while also addressing "necessary" sustainable responsibilities.

What better way to incorporate powerful botanical-derived ingredients like eucalyptus into your skincare practices than by upgrading your shower routine to include it? Nécessaire's bestselling body wash is a daily gel-oil cleanser with a non-irritating formula. It's rich in vitamins, uses plant-derived surfactants to gently cleanse and hydrate, and has a fresh eucalyptus scent that will awaken the senses.

Follow Nécessaire's The Body Wash with the brand's weekly multi-exfoliation treatment. Available in eucalyptus, sandalwood, and bergamot fragrances, this boxy exfoliator is formulated with pumice and bamboo charcoal so soften and renew the skin. Its formula also includes a blend of eucalyptus, ginger root, and lavender oil to soothe the skin.

Natural deodorants are definitely having a moment right now (hurray for aluminum-free formulas that will keep the odors away and you underarms dry throughout the day). Since beginning to use this deodorant, I've even noticed a difference in the appearance of pesky bumps. Nécessaire's Deodorant Gel contains the brand's signature 5% AHA blend to help balance PH levels, prevent odors, and promote an even skin tone.

Yuzu Soap is a San Francisco Bay Area based small business specializing in small batch, handcrafted bath and body products. By using rich butters, plant-based oils (including eucalyptus), yuzu, and essential oils, the brand offers natural products without parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and other harsh chemicals and synthetic detergents.

Jazz up your basic shower routine by adding Yuzu Soaps' Shower Tablets in Eucalyptus Mint for an aromatherapy experience that will give you that luxury spa feel without the large price tag. Each tablet is multi-use; lasting for up 3 showers. To use, place the tablet at the edge of your bath or on the shower floor and drizzle with water to activate.

Yuzu's Shea Butter and Body Lotion is formulated with plant-based oils and butters packed with vitamins and antioxidants. It comes in three amazing fragrances (lavender sage, Japanese yuzu, and eucalyptus mint), the last of which is beyond refreshing and cooling. You won't regret slathering this one on at the finale of your 'everything' shower or bath routine for smooth, glowing skin.

Eucalyptus can also be found in body and skincare products you may not always consider luxurious, but do their job to keep you healthy. Enter Noshinku: a brand of hand sanitizers with the goal of keeping your hands clean and skin moisturized in addition to providing simple moments of joy. Their functional and stylish hand sanitizers are crafted from natural botanicals including jojoba oil, aloe vera water, and sugar cane.

It's an all natural, ultra-hydrating, hand sanitizer formulated with 70% alcohol derived from organic sugarcane. It also uses a mix of jojoba, coconut, argan, and eucalyptus oils to keep your hands hydrated and fresh, to keep your hands from looking and feeling dry.

This mini hand sanitizer spray is perfect for the person on-the-go. It comes in a refillable recycled aluminum container and is available in three fresh fragrances (including eucalyptus, lavendula, and bergamot). Like the brand's popular Refillable Pocket Hand Sanitizer, it uses a blend of oils to hydrate, refresh, and protect the skin.

Created by former professional snowboarder Nima Jali, Salt & Stone aims to center its products around the knowledge of skin science and the benefits of all-natural ingredients. Each product is brimming with antioxidant and nutrient rich ingredients including seaweed, kelp, and spirulina. Self-proclaimed "experts in natural fragrance," Salt & Stone has created a line of skincare that benefits both the health of your skin and the environment.

Long story short: I credit this eucalyptus-scented body wash with saving my sense of smell after being sick for a week. A couple quick pumps of the Salt & Stone body wash in Bergamot & Eucalyptus while in the shower feels (and smells) just like a trip to the spa. It's an ultra-hydrating gel cleanser made from a formula that features niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and seaweed extracts for cleansed and moisturized skin.

Here's another great natural deodorant I would recommend to anyone starting their natural deodorant journey. Since I began using Salt & Stone's a month ago, I've noticed just how long I stay smelling and feeling fresh. It's gotten me through lengthy morning hot girl walks, challenging pilates classes, and vinyasa yoga flows. It also melts right into the skin; leaving no residue.

The brand has also recently come out with a hand cream in their popular scent, Bergamot and Eucalyptus. Infused with ocean botanicals, antioxidants, and other naturally hydrating ingredients, this fast-absorbing daily moisturizer does an amazing job of softening and restoring dry hands to their most moisturized state.

Disco is a sustainable, all-natural, and cruelty free skincare line founded by Benjamin Smith. Designed with men's skincare in mind, all of Disco's products are free of commonly used skincare ingredients like aluminum, parabens, and pthalates; instead using formulas that rely on the natural benefits of aloe, apricot oil, betonite clay, Vitamin E, and of course, eucalyptus.

First up: Disco's Exfoliating Face Scrub. This cleanser helps remove impurities and build-up from the skin with the help of natural ingredients like papaya, aloe, and apricot oil to exfoliate, repair skin damage, and reduce inflammation. Use it once or twice a week for cleaning and brighter looking skin.

Ready for peak relaxation and restoration? Look no further than Disco's Eucalyptus Face Mask. It uses a powerful mixture of betonite clay, charcoal, and willow bark extract to remove excess oil, cleanse impurities, and reduce puffiness. Like all of Disco's products, it's made without sulfates and parabens.

If you're in the market for an easy to use facial cleanser, give Disco's Face Cleanser Stick a try. With its compact design, this eucalyptus scented cleanser stick is another must have for someone constantly on-the-go. Its main ingredients include phytic acid, coconut oil, and charcoal to get rid of impurities and accelerate skin turnover.

Founded by Matthew Malin and Andrew Goetz in 2006, this skin and body care brand promises to offer lightweight formulas with big results. Guided by the simple philosophy of less is more, this brand creates high quality products that encourage less steps to your self care routine, less packaging, and less waste.

Add this Eucalyptus scented body wash to your list of products to try. Malin + Goetz's multitasking Eucalyptus Hand and Body Wash will give its user the most luxurious lather while using natural glycerin and the brand's amino acid technology to fully clean and hydrate the skin. Instead of leaving pesky residue behind like other popular hand and body washes, you'll find that the only thing this one leaves is clean skin and a fresh scent.

Still looking for another Eucalyptus deodorant that does it all? I also absolutely love Malin and Goetz's Eucalyptus Deodorant. In addition to smelling ridiculously fresh all day long, whoever uses this deodorant can also expect no residue or stain while using.

I Own a Nontoxic Candle Company—Here's How I Curate a Healthy Beauty Routine

The Lineup is a monthly series where we're giving you an inside peek at the beauty lineups of cool fashion people, editors, makeup artists, hairstylists, and aestheticians—all the people we trust the most. Get ready for a behind-the-scenes look at all the can't-live-without products that make their worlds go 'round.

I covet all pretty things for my home, wardrobe, and even my vanity. So when I find a product that meshes it all together such as Otherland Candles, I can't contain my joy. (Have you seen the Instagrammable packaging?) Since I'm a total fan girl, I was so excited to chat with the founder and CEO, Abigail Cook Stone, to talk about everything, including her perfectly curated beauty routine.

Stone's love of candles runs deep. They've been a key component in her self-care routine for years because they create a cozy, familiar atmosphere that makes everything more enjoyable. After burning through so many candles, Stone recognized a gap in the market. "The candles with the fresh scents I preferred were often too expensive while budget-friendly options had ultra-sweet fragrances and lackluster design," she says. Stone took this opportunity to found a candle brand that combines clean ingredients, nuanced scents, and artistic aesthetics to create a beautiful experience that sparks joy in your home and self-care routine.

Stone takes a multifaceted approach to her self-care routine, starting with prioritizing sleep and light therapy. A beauty lover, Stone says her skincare routine is another essential step. Her lineup includes researched and science-backed products that have the same high-quality standards as her candles. "I prefer to buy from brands with big research behind them—whether or not the molecules are natural, synthetic, or both, I want to know they've been thoroughly developed and tested in a laboratory setting," she explains. One of those products is prescription tretinoin, which she touts as the most effective, well-studied, scientifically proven topical antiaging product. Thankfully for us, she shared the other clean beauty gems that are a part of her routine. Keep scrolling for 18 of Stone's favorite beauty products.

"This cleanser checks all the boxes. I firmly believe that you don't need to spend all your money on cleanser—you wash it off, after all! Spending a lot on something you wash off your face seems crazy to me! I'd rather save my pennies for treatments at my dermatologist's office. (I just got Fraxel!) I love this cleanser because it has just the right amount of cleansing power (the milky Hydrating Facial Cleanser is too gentle for my combination skin), is fragrance-free, affordable, and dermatologist approved."

"Another recommendation from my dermatologist. I consider this more of a treatment than a cleanser given the glycolic acid, and I use it one to two times a week depending on how dry my skin is and my tretinoin usage. When I use it, I do so on days when I do not plan to use tretinoin since both can be harsh on my skin. It smooths the texture of my skin and helps with the dreaded tretinoin peeling!"

"As I learned from my dermatologist, vitamin C is essential for any skincare routine. I love that this serum packs a punch with an excellent formulation but is less expensive than some of the other serums with similar active ingredients. The packaging blocks light to help protect oxidation-prone vitamin C so I can get the biggest bang for my buck. Every morning, I apply this and then go make my bed, allowing the serum to fully pe*****te my skin before moving on to other skincare steps. (I've heard this pause is essential!)"

"Oh, tretinoin! A longterm love-hate relationship. The adjustment period of flaking, scaly skin literally took me years (not months!), but once I got there, I can see that it has clearly made a difference. (This prescription-only retinol has the data to back up its superpowers!) After that initial adjustment to .025%, I've slowly built up to .1% applied every other night on my face and neck."

"Okay, I maybe would have picked a different name for this serum, but the product itself is a legend. Every time I share it on Instagram, about 20 people DM me to say how this is also their favorite product ever. It's a potent serum of hyaluronic acid, peptides, and ceramides. Highly recommend!"

"I should probably just use tap water and a spray bottle, but for now, my skin is loving this mist sprayed after the Needle-less Serum so the hyaluronic acid can hook onto water molecules and hydrate my skin. I let this air-dry while I brush my teeth."

"I have a lot of freckles—in fact, my AOL screen name in the '90s was Freckle55555. As I've gotten older, they've started to darken and spread out—they've morphed from the cute freckles of my youth to dreaded age spots. To combat this, I love the Major Fade line by PillowtalkDerm (aka Dr. Shereene Idriss), which has helped even out my complexion. I use this more as a spot treatment in targeted areas as opposed to all over my face."

"This product is pure luxury. The silky oil helps my skin stay glowy no matter what part of the tretinoin peel cycle I'm in. It smells heavenly: a robust, fragrant saffron that I cannot get enough of. I gently pat it into my face, taking deep breaths to enrobe in its divine aroma."

"A classic! I love the airtight packaging and formulation for max efficacy. They recently started making a larger size, which I was thrilled to stock up on."

"In the winter, I find my beloved Protini to be a bit too light for the cold, dry air and my committed tretinoin use, so I layer a bit of this rich Lala Retro cream onto my drier areas."

"What a lovely eye cream! I naturally have darker, purple under-eyes, so I love Tatcha's silk-infused eye cream as a base for my concealer. It has little reflective particles in it that help brighten and lighten everything up."

"Drmtlgy also makes great sunscreen! The formulas rub in easily without leaving a cast and don't pill under makeup."

"An oldie but goodie. I apply to my lips nightly, around my nose in the winter, and an occasional slug under my eyes when I'm feeling parched or worn down and want to really lock in the actives from my earlier skincare steps. PS: You need the giant tube!"

"I have a few scars I'm proud of and a few I'd like to just go away. This silicone scar gel is the latest and greatest drugstore buy to help unwanted scars disappear."

"I've tried every pimple patch out there and with full conviction declare Rael's as the best! Their absorption and sticking power is far superior to other brands. I like to have some of these on hand always."

"Virtue makes my favorite hair products! As I've gotten older, my hair is finer and more prone to damage, so I'm drawn to Virtue's innovative formulas to protect my tresses. I use a few drops of the healing oil on the ends of my locks daily."

"Given how I worship tretinoin on my face, it should come as absolutely no surprise that I also use retinol on my body. I appreciate the airtight pump and packaging on this so the formula stays fresh, unoxidized, and high-efficacy! Great for things like stretch marks, bumpy skin, and general skin antiaging."

"From our Carefree 1990s collection! With notes of wild freesia, juicy tangerine, and plush plumeria, it's an ode to my memories of growing up in my favorite decade. I love to reuse my empty candle jars for makeup brushes, dermaplane razors, skinny product tubes, etc."
