Let's Talk Minis!

[KatieBT]

We’re dedicating this thread to mini beauty products because we know how much everyone loves minis! They’re great for trialing new products, perfect for when you are on-the-go AND they are just so cute! Maybe you get minis for traveling or trialing new products, whatever your reason we want to talk about your fave minis! 

Here are a few thought starters:

• What’s your favorite mini you’ve ever used? 
• What do you wish came in a mini size?
• What’s your go-to mini travel buddy?
• Have a mini collection? We want to see!

Bring on the mini madness!

Ooooh.... minis!!  Love, love, LOVE!!!  

• Favorite Mini = mascara and First Aid Beauty Radiance Pads - I purchased the mini to try out the product and now, it's one my HGs.  
• What do I wish came in a mini size?  Everything?  Yes, that sounds about right.  Everything.  LOL!  
• Go-to Mini Travel Buddy = I don't think I can pick just one ... so, my go-to mini travel buddies are the First Aid Beauty exfoliating pads, Too Faced Replenishing Hangover Primer (or the Hourglass No. 28 Primer Serum in the winter), Clinique Take the Day Off Balm, AmorePacific Color Control Cushion Compact, NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer, a mascara and lip gloss

So I am a mini beauty product  hoarder lol 😬 I love how easy they are for travel and to test drive how much I love a product before I buy a full size of it.

Ohhhhhh I love this!!!!  @melissapurple22 ❤️

I love minis to try new products. Samples usually aren't enough to tell if you'll like the product especially if it's skin care but minis you definitely have more to really test it out. Favorite mini ever used was both the cream and the honey mask from the Fresh creme ancienne line. I do have a small collection of mini lipsticks and mini perfumes. I love glass/glass bottles so to have them in mini is perfect for collecting!

I'm all about mini/ travel size products. I love mini primers because I'm still on the hunt for my holy grail primer so I love testing out different brands & formulas. I probably have more mini perfumes than full size. I get so giddy for mini perfumes vials especially beach walk (maybe someday I'll splurge for the big bottle). Oh and mini skincare moisturizing gels are heaven sent.

Favorite Mini Ever Used: *Edit: I have to change my answer because I just remembered it's actually Laura Mercier Translucent Powder mini that is my favorite because I was able to test it out and as much as I loved the texture and how it set my makeup it wasn't full translucent on my skin tone. So when the darker version came out I bought it because of my experience with the mini and it's still my all time favorite setting powder. 🙂

Wish Came in Mini Size: Fenty Killawatt Highlighter in Trophy Wife because it's not something I'd use every day but I'd love to have as a mini. Bobbi Brown Highlighting Powder (not just shimmer brick). More Eyeshadow palettes in general. I think Viseart had the right idea with the petit pro. I get paranoid about bringing whole palettes with me on trips (fear of breakage) plus I've still never hit pan on a single eyeshadow in my life. It'd be great for travel, takes up less space, and is less wasteful.

Go-To Mini for Travel: Tatcha Enzyme Powder. It doesn't take up as much space plus the container is nice and durable so I reuse old containers to either refill for travel or put other lotions, moisturizers, creams, etc. in it.

Mini Collection: I have an absurd number of deluxe size samples so it's a bit hard to remember which things I bought individually or were part of a set of minis vs point perks and gwps so this is what I could grab on hand quickly.

We all love minis but when it comes to the quantity in them it's not much. I hope to see minis with full product inside since they are minis already. I actually don't know if they already exist.

Like so many others, I love mini lip stuff! I like to change colors almost daily. And they're perfect. Because of the mini's, I really don't have many tubes of anything languishing forgotten at the bottom of the pile. 

I also have a thing for mini mascara's, sample sizes really. Even with multiple coats Every. Single. Day., The sample sizes are great for their three month life span. 

And mini-every thing else for the bag that goes in the purse! Eyeliner, lip balms, brushes, powder. Yeah, ALL that! 

[Kim888]

I love when luxury brands do minis for sure! The hourglass mini blushes and powders are my favorite!!! And mask minis as well like the drunk elephant babyfacial - it’s so nice to give everyone a chance to try something more expense! 

If Tom Ford ever did mini blushes or highlights that would be amazing!

LONG LIVE THE MINI !!!  I LOVE MINIS ❤️ 

          💓 TO BE FULL OF MINIS 💓

1. I love mini perfumes the most because the bottles are so cute and I never seem to use up a big bottle before I start liking another fragrance. 

2. I love mini lipsticks second most because again the packaging is so cute and it takes me a long time to use up a full size since I’m switching colors all the time. Although mini lipsticks are not very stable in their tubes so they are harder to apply.

3. I love mini highlighters and blushes because i will never use up a big one and then I can try more shades. 

I love to keep minis of everything in my handbag for touch ups and of course for traveling minis are the ticket 😉

Foundation and concealer minis would be a great thing to have more options of.

[NotCrocker]

I love some minis more than others! I like mini lipsticks because it makes me feel more potentially accomplished when I finish one.

• What’s your favorite mini you’ve ever used? 
  • I don't know if it's a fave, but my most used has been a tarte setting powder, while I tried to figure out if powder is useful in my routine.
• What do you wish came in a mini size?
  • It's hard to think of something that's not in a mini! Or a type of product! 
• What’s your go-to mini travel buddy?
  • I have about 4 mini lipsticks in my purse that go with me everywhere, and now I have the mini Bite Agave (but it's just okay). 
• Have a mini collection? We want to see!
  • Photo to be posted when I get home!

I too love mini's!  I would love to be able to try or even buy more mini foundation shades and fragrance samples or minis to help me chose the larger size to commit to later.

I love that Sephora does have a lot of smaller size products to try out. 

Deluxe size samples are great too.

[Kim888]

I’m sure it would be almost impossible with shade issues but wouldn’t it be so cool if there a Sephora give me some foundation set like they do the give me some lip and lash sets 

[kristiebelle]

I would LOVE that. All of their deluxe samples of foundation are so limited to mid-range tones, which means my nordic skin gets nothing. I'm a fair neutral (1.0 on UD Naked Skin) and I've never seen a sample in anything close. I know my more deeply melanized friends struggle with finding their sample color, too.

Loving the mini's! Perfect for when you want to try products before purchasing the full size!

[txcatx]

I love minis! Especially mini lipsticks. I can rarely resist the 100 point perk minis or promo codes for mini lipsticks. Sometimes I even buy mini lipstick sets, especially whenever Nars has them.

This mini is also a favorite that I often take with me when traveling:

What I wished came in mini size...hmm, I don't know. I guess just more luxury products because I like being able to try out an item for awhile before I splurge. A mini container of Guerlain Meteorites would be amazing because I'm probably never going to be able to use up the Meteorites I already own!

[Ispend2much6]

@txcatx  Great idea about the Meteorites.

[tsavorite]

@txcatx,

Where did you find that one!  It's so cool!  I'd love to get one!  🙂

[txcatx]

@tsavorite I think I got the mini Givenchy at Saks, but I believe Sephora carries it, too!

[MissPuff]

I saw these in duty-free on my way back to the US...I was so tempted but I think they were 90 or 95 euros and my poor wallet just couldn't do it 🙂

[Tamara76]

OMG!   Soooooo cute!   I know a few ladies were able to grab mini Meteorites via a promo a few years back!  It would be so cool if they'd re-release that!  @MissPuff
