Good things really do come in small packages. Want proof? Just look at beauty minis. From a bite-sized version of your favourite Tatcha moisturiser to pocket-friendly sunscreen from Ultra Violette (plus a mini Space NK bag to carry both), there’s so much to love about them.
Perfectly portable, they make the ideal travel companion. Whether they’re in your work bag, clutch or poolside pouch, travel minis can come along for the ride for your daily city commute, date night or long-haul flight. Plus, for holidays they help with liquid restrictions and keep your packing light (at least for your beauty).
But beauty minis aren't just for on-the-go. They’re a brilliant way to test out a new product before committing to the full size, and they often pop up in the best beauty sets, which are ideal for gifting, travel or just indulging in a little luxury. Perhaps the main part of their charm is how adorable they are. Cue the watery eyes, these are the best beauty minis to shop at Space NK.
