Beauty enthusiasts we’ve spoken to admit that they can never resist the mini beauty items that are displayed along the line to the cashier at Sephora stores. Many of them said that these adorable, travel-friendly minis never fail to get added to their shopping basket even before
This is why we’re not surprised that a few of our favourite brands have made dedicated releases for their most iconic products in mini sizes.
Kat Von D Beauty, in particular, has recently introduced the Kitten Minis collection. This new line features their bestselling products in travel-friendly sizes. The idea is so that you can always bring them along with you, whether you’re simply heading to work or going for a holiday.
We were also told by the reps from Kat Von D Beauty that we can expect more to be added to the Beauty Kittens collection in time to come.
Fenty Beauty has also announced the launch of a few mini products, which were available a few days ago in Sephora. These include products that you don’t usually find in travel sizes such as eyeliner (the set is already out of stock in the Sephora online store), bronzer, and setting powder.
And we totally get the lure of minis. Besides looking super cute and being travel-friendly, they also come in generous-enough sizes (and at wallet-friendly prices!) that allow us to give these products a whirl before deciding if they’re worthy of a permanent spot on our vanity table.
If you’re ready to go big on mini products, here are the ones to check out.
Kat Von D
The Everlasting Liquid Lipstick has been a favourite of the DV team for a long time. But the one that really gives great value for money? Definitely the Shade + Light Contour Duo.
