You got the big strappy Jimmy Choo sandals and the little strapless number from Dolce & Gabbana. So it makes sense to find your way to the makeup department at Nordstrom for that luscious lipstick to complete the look. You’ll find all the best brands and a few exclusive lines, plus the most helpful salespeople who all really want you to look your best. Here, it feels less like a large department store and more like a trip to individual beauty boutiques. » 210 Andover St., Northshore Mall, Peabody, 978-278-7400, shop.nordstrom.com.
