It’s a situation any Sephora shopper knows too well: you meticulously place each product you have listed on the “to buy” list on your phone into your basket, only to be tempted last-minute to throw in some miniature travel-sized products from the checkout line.
Besides being adorably cute and tiny, these products are usually cheaper than their full-size counterparts and are a great way to test whether or not you like a product before splurging on the full-size. And of course, you can use them for all your upcoming vacations and carry-on only getaways, as they’ll make it past security with no issue. Keep reading to find out which items we recommend that you definitely pick up on your next trip to Sephora.

True fact: there’s nothing worse than being on vacation and not having time to wash your hair. Which is why this mini dry shampoo by Living Proof is an item you’ll be thankful you packed in your toiletry bag. Oh, and it smells amazing too.
Buy it: Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo Mini, $17.00, at Sephora

Sure your friends and family are great, but Caudalie’s Beauty Elixir Mini is the ultimate travel companion. The lightweight mist is perfect for priming/setting makeup, and refreshing your makeup throughout the day to make it look like it was just applied.

- MAKE UP FOR EVER ULTRA HD MICROFINISHING LOOSE POWDER MINI

This finishing powder by Make Up For Ever has a cult following – and for good reason. It adds a sheer layer to help set your makeup flawlessly, and softens fine lines and pores in the process. Since the $44 full-sized version can be intimidating to a first-timer, we recommend trying out the mini version first to see if you like it (also 0.14 ounces is still going to last you a really long time).
Buy it: Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Microfinishing Loose Powder Mini, $24.00, at Sephora
- LAURA MERCIER TINTED MOISTURIZER MINI
Laura Mercier’s tinted moisturizer is an old faithful in the beauty community, as it gives lightweight, flawless coverage while providing SPF protection. And seriously, how cute is the travel size?!
