Really trying to minimise the amount of "stuff" I take for a weekend away.

Discovered today e.l.f. wow brow is about half the size of the brow mascara I usually use and it made me wonder.

What mini makeup/beauty products do you take to save space?

I decant all shampoo/ conditioner/ moisturiser etc into small travel bottles/ tubs.
You can buy mini lipsticks ( l save mine from no7 gift sets.
I also buy sample bottles of foundation etc ( from ebay/ vinted).

All my products seem to come in massively big and heavy packaging…….I go on work or hobby ‘trips’ in the UK rather than holidays so I just lay off my ‘special’ skincare and take a cleanser and a combined moisture and SPF cream if I’m away for less than a week. Keep my sprawling makeup collection in a drawer at home so I also take a small makeup bag with just the basics (concealer, brow pencil, mascara, good tweezers and lipstick) and buy cheap shampoo and shower gel when I get there, which I then leave in the hotel.

I've got some great new minis on vinted - think they come out of the beauty calandars and free gifts.

I got ouai hair oil, grown alchemist moisturiser and nars orgasm so far.

Obvious it's a risk they may have been used before but all the were sealed and 2-2.50 each!

I just by the travel sized versions of my products or get one of those sampler collections if not otherwise available. It's an initial waste of money but it's nice to have good containers clearly marked.

Have you looked on Cult Beauty? That have a whole section of mini's.

Can't help with the make-up suggestions but have you thought of taking solid shampoo/conditioner bars and soap/body wash bars? It should save space and you won't be carrying around the water part/ingredient in those products.

Most of my minis are all from Beauty Advent calendars. I ajways pack my normal size shampoo and conditioners and face washes

Thelightis · 18/02/2024 05:58

I also save mini bottles to decant product into except I never really do
