Kosas 10-Second Eye Gel Watercolor Eyeshadow is a goof-proof eyeshadow that anyone can use—no makeup skills required. The creamy gel formula can be applied straight from the tube and blended out with your fingers. It sets within seconds and lasts without creasing. Choose from six soft neutral shades.

There’s no better ingredient than lanolin for dry, chapped lips, and Lanolips Rose Gold 101 Ointment blends it with the prettiest rose gold tint. Not only does it heal and hydrate, it also gives you a dewy, rosy flush on your lips or cheeks.

Everyone raves about ILIA’s Limitless Lash Mascara (including celebrity makeup artists!) because of its magical lash-lengthening effect. No wonder it’s the bestselling clean mascara—and now it’s available in this affordable mini size.

Etude Fixing Tint is a matte lip stain that stays put all day long without drying out your lips. (It first went viral during the pandemic, when people were searching for lip colour that wouldn’t budge under their masks.) Unlike most stains, the colours are subdued, and you can choose from both warm- and cool-toned shades.

After launching a decade ago, Glossier Boy Brow is still one of the brand’s bestselling products, and for good reason. The creamy, tinted brow mascara gives you groomed, fuller-looking brows in just a few swipes—and it never flakes or hardens. 

Tatcha Aburatorigami Japanese Beauty Papers are the ultimate blotting sheets, made from 100% natural abaca leaf and gold flakes. Use them throughout the day to absorb excess oil without disturbing your makeup or leaving any powdery residue behind. 

Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara is a cult-favourite mascara with a tiny brush specifically designed to target hard-to-reach bottom lashes. The smudge-resistant tubing formula won’t give you raccoon eyes, and comes off easily with warm water. (You can actually use it on your top lashes, too!)

Captain Blankenship Texture Sea Salt Spray is a mini texturizing spray for creating tousled, beachy hair without drying it out or weighing it down. Unlike most styling products, it’s all-natural (a blend of salt, aloe vera and essential oils).

Briogeo’s Farewell Frizz Rosarco Milk Leave-In Conditioning Spray is a lightweight, milky spray that tames frizz in all hair types—and now you can get it in a mini size. Rather than silicones, it uses hydrators like glycerin, coconut oil and shea butter to smooth, lock in moisture, and protect from heat damage.

Tangle Teezer’s Compact Styler is the OG detangling brush that you know and love, but in a compact size with a travel-friendly protective cover. As always, the patented teeth formation smooths hair without snagging or breakage.

The Kitsch Scarf Scrunchies are a pair of pretty satin scrunchies with bows to dress up any braid or ponytail. They come in these rust and blush tones, as well as grey and black.

The Tweezerman Mini Slant Tweezer belongs in everybody’s beauty arsenal. These mini stainless steel tweezers have the same precision and durability as the original size, with a slanted edge for the perfect pluck.

Bioderma Sensibio H2O needs no introduction. It’s the micellar cleansing water that everyone loves for its ability to remove even waterproof makeup without rubbing or stinging. This mini size is a must for any makeup bag.

Patchology’s FlashPatch Hydrating Lip Gels are a set of five lip gels to moisturize and soften your lips. Each single-use mask is loaded with glycerin, collagen, peptides, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, and treatments take just five minutes.

Truly #Heart Your Imperfections Blemish Patches are the cutest way to cover up pimples while helping them heal. The heart-shaped patches are made from a hydrocolloid material that works to draw out bacteria and reduce inflammation.

Skin Gym’s Mini Jade Eye Roller is a petite facial roller to use at home or away—anytime your skin needs a quick pick-me-up. It helps boost circulation, release facial tension and transform dull, stressed-out skin.
