Nordstrom Rack secretly has the best beauty products — shop our picks under $25

Want fuller hair? Packed with hair-loving ingredients like mint and rosemary oil (which has been clinically proven to promote hair growth and prevent further loss), Mielle's mega-popular hair serum is constantly flying off the shelves. It's also Yahoo's pick for the best budget-friendly product for thinning hair. Just massage the paraben-free oil into your scalp a couple of times a week to stimulate hair follicles. Bonus: It smells great. 

"This is a magic oil," declared one five-star reviewer. "I've only been using this for a few weeks and my hair has grown so much. It's healthier, fuller and there's a lot of growth in just a few weeks."

This magical lipstick has been a favorite of celebrities since the '90s because it's seriously flattering on everyone. Don't be fooled by the deep berry color of the lipstick/gloss/balm combo. While it looks like something Wednesday Addams might wear, the rich hue goes on sheer and plays up the natural color of your lips. See? Magic.

"My go-to for over three decades," revealed a longtime fan. "This little lip shine will always be a favorite for me. When I was young, it was lovely and just the right touch for a more natural look. As I have aged, it is beautiful for the moisturizing hint of color."

Who doesn't love a good soothing under-eye mask? These firming eye gels are made with hyaluronic acid, peptides and bakuchiol (a plant-based retinol alternative). Pop 'em on, sit back and let them de-puff your eyes and diminish fine lines in just minutes. You can also buy a single pack for $4.

"Best thing I've used," wrote a five-star reviewer. "I think they work amazing. I felt a little tired and nervous and noticed my eyes were really puffy before a job interview. I used this product and relaxed for 10 minutes. And let me say, they were so amazing. Calmed my nerves too and got the job on the spot."

News flash: You should be wearing SPF every day (yes, even in the winter). This mega-popular sunscreen also acts as a makeup primer. It's unscented, weightless and completely sheer, so you don't have to worry about any white cast. In fact, our beauty editor, Jennifer Romolini, named it the best sunscreen for oily skin and the best clear sunscreen for sensitive skin — and she's tested a lot of sunscreen. 

"I wear this sunscreen every day whether I'm wearing makeup or not," divulged one Supergoop! fan. "It's so smooth and makes my skin feel so soft. I don't think I'll ever go back to traditional makeup primer — this stuff is gold. It's also rare that as a Black woman, I found a sunscreen that every single day goes on totally and completely clear. Also, it looks like I have zero pores when I wear this."

These easy-peasy eyeshadow sticks, available in a wide variety of shades, are for all of you low-maintenance makeup wearers out there. All you need to do is swipe 'em on your lids and (if you want) blend with your finger for a quick on-the-go look. 

"So far, I really love these eye shadow sticks," shared a new user. "They are SO easy to pack up. No mess. Glide on smoothly. Can be smudged if you're quick. They look great and feel great on. They don't seem to settle in eyelid folds. I highly recommend these."

From the brand behind everyone's favorite pimple patches, these hydrocolloid strips are designed to clear out the gunk in your nose pores as you sleep — sans harmful stripping. Oh, and they're Yahoo's best blackhead remover! Romolini wrote: "In midlife, I've developed blackheads on my nose that seem worse than when I was 16. But these truly revolutionary patches help solve the problem fast."

"I've used the other blackhead strips religiously, and nothing has helped," shared a shopper. "On a whim, I bought these and decided to try them out. It is an eraser for your nose. I love the normal patches and now I have a new part of my weekly routine."

It might sound crazy to compare something as simple as mascara to, well, sex, but this award-winning mascara is really that good. It's specifically formulated to create full, defined lashes that keep a curl all day long. 

"My first high-end mascara ever and I still love it to this day," declared a customer. "This is my third bottle and I will continue to repurchase. It makes my lashes so long and adds so much volume."

Caring for the skin on your body is just as important as caring for the skin on your face. Formulated for all skin types, this silky body balm uses alaria seaweed and a variety of seed oils to firm, hydrate, moisturize and heal the skin. 

A Nordstrom Rack shopper says that "it's very hydrating and has reduced the wrinkly appearance of my almost-70-year-old limbs! It feels very soft and smells good too." The same reviewer notes that they like to mix it with a body lotion and apply it right after showering.

Yes, the eyes are the window to the soul — but the brows are the frame, and what's a window without a frame? This makeup-bag staple comes with a fine-tipped retractable pencil to create lines that look like your natural brows and a spoolie brush to, well, brush everything into place! It's also super beginner-friendly. 

"Best brow pencil out there," writes one loyal shopper. "I've been using these pencils since high school and they always create the perfect natural brow. I have a few spots on my brows that need to be filled and this does the job perfectly."
