FYI: These 10 Nordstrom Beauty Buys Have a Near-Perfect No-Return Record

To be honest, it's extremely hard to go wrong in the land of MAC, so we're totally not surprised this matte-finish powder foundation is a crowd-pleaser. Not only does it help curb midday greasiness (an especially handy perk if your skin runs oily!), but it also provides a satisfying amount of coverage that's buildable yet not noticeably detectable to the naked eye.

Eye makeup remover is one of the most infuriatingly annoying beauty products to shop for. It should be easy to find a formula that erases stubborn shadow, mascara, or liner in a flash sans irritation, but apparently, it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Well, consider yourself officially unburdened of the task. According to Nordstrom HQ, extremely rare is the return of this gentle oil-in-water formula from Lancôme. 

Gifting alert! Anyone can use this multipurpose hair and body wash, but the men we know, in particular, are especially fanatical for anything bearing the Jack Black label. (Plus, the rosemary and eucalyptus scent is superb—clean but still yummy.) 

We're pretty devoted to Chanel's collection of iconic fragrances. Technically, this Norstrom top seller is for men, but who says this blend of grapefruit, cedar, and sandalwood isn't amazing for everyone?

Technically, it's the jumbo size of this ultra-moisturizing face lotion that's earned its coveted low-return spot. However, it's the formula (not the size) that keeps reeling in the high reviews. 

There are plenty of fancy serums that can't live up to the hype they garner, but it's safe to say this high-tech formula from Estée Lauder just might be one of the few exceptions. It has an amazingly high rating (despite its 10.4K reviews), and the hero Chronolux Power Signal Technology offers an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink offering of skin perks thanks to antioxidants aplenty and 72 hours of hydration.

We would have been surprised if this basic but very iconic body cream hadn't made Nordstrom's near-perfect no-return list. The strategic mix of beta-carotene (hello, suppleness-inducing antioxidants!) and other rich antidotes like cocoa butter and sesame-seed oil work magic on even the thirstiest of skin. 

If you've been wanting to dip your toe into the La Mer pool but are unsure where to start, we highly suggest this best-selling, low-return eye concoction. It also happens to be a favorite among makeup artists (it's so dreamy underneath makeup) and the celebrity set.��

Face creams can be so hit or miss, which is why we're taking the fact that this Chanel number is rarely ever returned very much to heart. You can use it day or night, and it's especially great for anyone looking for some extra anti-aging benefits such as enhanced tone, texture, contour, and lift. 

FYI: The iconic face lotion for men is so popular that the regular version sans SPF is currently sold out at Nordstrom. We're sure it will restock soon, but until then, grab the SPF version (which is linked) instead because yes, you should still be protecting your skin from harmful rays every day, even if summer is a thing of the past. 

This shaving set from Kiehl's just so happens to be another amazing gift idea. You'll get the brand's top-rated Facial Fuel Energizing Face Wash, Ultimate Brushless Shave Cream White Eagle, Ultimate Razor Burn & Bump Relief, and aforementioned fan-favorite Facial Fuel Energizing Moisture Treatment.
