It's no secret that I love anything mini. A mini lipstick, a mini donut, a mini dog, I love it all. And every now and then I come across the perfect beauty mini, an occasion far to special to be wasted on any old day. These perfect mini's go into my travel beauty bag, waiting for the perfect trip, and these days the bag is looking pretty full.
I checked into a hotel a few months bag and when scouring the room for forgotten socks, I found a little box that had fallen off the bedside table unnoticed. Inside was a dinky This Works Breathe In Rollerball & Deep Sleep Pillow Spray, two of my favourite products. I'm sure the squeal of delight was audible in the lobby. I'm holding on to these to keep me calm on my next flight and help me sleep when I get there!
Sometimes when you place a Beauty Bay order (ie, when you spend too much), they'll let you pick out a deluxe sample to go along with it. That was how I came to possess this adorable 10ml sample of the Pai Camomile and Rosehip Day Cream. I love everything I've ever tried from Pai, so I have no qualms about trying this, but it's so sleek and compact, it'll be perfect for a hand-luggage only trip.
Also on the skincare theme, I cannot wait to try the Ole Henrikson Brighten and Transform Kit* of deluxe minis. I've already cracked into the day cream, but the Truth Serum, The Clean Truth Wipes and Invigorating Night Treatment, have all gone into the bag. I've heard only good things about the Ole Henrikson brand so I'm excited to try these bits! They're all such a good size, and the 10 pack of wipes will be perfect for a holiday!
One last skincare bit, I picked up a mini bottle of the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water, to try out, but then I found a backup bottle of Bioderma in the cupboard. So the Garnier got cast aside, but actually, the 125ml bottle is super travel friendly, much more so than my giant Bioderma bottles! So this is being kept on hand for future trips!
I found the Korres Guava Body Wash in a goodie bag last month and I was so excited. I've already used up a full size bottle of this previously, and I loved the fresh zingy scent! This would be the perfect thing to wash away suncream, salt and chlorine on a sunny holiday.
Hair minis are a rarity, but finding a 30ml bottle of the Percy and Reed No Oil Oil in last month's Elle was enough to convince me to pick this up. Again, I've already used up a full size of this and I loved it, it's amazing for detangling freshly washed hair, but also for taming frizz and flyaways in styled hair. A little goes a long way too, this bottle will last forever!
And lastly, I received a few beautiful Victoria's Secret makeup bags for my birthday, and inside one was a rollerball of the Victoria's Secret Noir Tease perfume. I normally find VS scents a little strong, but this is delicious. Rollerballs are hard to come by in the UK, so I'll be keeping this exclusively for travel.
All I need is a holiday now!
Do you hoard beauty minis?
