I love when beauty brands issue their products in miniature size — a fantastic way to dip my toe in before committing to a full-sized bottle, and they’re great for travel / gym bags / etc, too. Below are 16 fantastic beauty products that I absolutely adore that are available in a cute mini size. I own and am obsessed with each of these products. Treat yourself on your next trip by stocking up on a few!

I have a couple of trips coming up and want to upgrade some of my own travel gear. Eyeing this suitcase, this travel hair dryer (on the rec of a good friend!), and this travel hair gadget, too.
I also recently bought this rechargeable magnifying mirror (I have been to way too many hotels with subpar lighting!) and this set of mini bottles to decant some of my products into. I really like the latter set (used on my trip to DCL recently) because the mouths are super wide, which makes them easy to pour into and easy to clean. I also have this makeup brush case in my cart. Is it unnecessary? Probably. But kind of nice to be able to find the brushes quickly vs dig through my bag each time? I’m such a sucker for everything in its place! And, just ICYMI, this tiny travel razor is THE BEST. Love that it comes in its own travel case and it has the perfect mini size.
P.S. More cute cosmetics bags here, and great travel gear for families here.
P.P.S. A word I’ve trimmed from my vocabulary.
P.P.P.S. Do you believe in shortcuts?
