Miniature Must-Haves

By Kerri Winick and Andrea Krivelow www.celebutantesisters.com

Dry lips. A broken nail. Fading eyeshadow. Have you been the victim of a beauty emergency? We all have those “problem solvers” we just can’t live without when we walk out the door. But let’s be serious. It’s not always easy (or practical) to stuff your pockets silly with deluxe sizes of your favorite products.

Beauty minis are a great way to solve life’s pretty problems and still have space to spare for the necessities…like your ID and keys! They’re also perfect for traveling (most are airplane approved) and a great way to sample something new without overspending. Here are some of our favorite miniature-must-haves:

Ojon Rub-Out Dry Cleanser To Go

In a rush? Don’t have time to wash your hair? No problem! Spray those strands with this formula to instantly “erase” impurities, excess oil, and product build-up. Your locks will look luminous!

Price: 2 oz. for $10 on Seophora.com

Matchbox Itty Bitty Files

Fix hangnails and dull manicures in a flash with an itty bitty version of a classic, beauty bag staple. The matchbox sized case comes packed with 12 stylish, colorful files.

Price: $4 on Tweezerman.com

mark Mini Mark It Stick Hook Up Stick For Lips

Its a pencil. No. It’s a gloss. Hold on. Its both! Layer your lips with shine and shimmer. This is one of Lauren Conrad’s beauty favorites!

Price: $6.00 on meetmark.com

Marc Jacobs Lola Solid Perfume Ring

Not only is this chic cocktail ring a statement piece, it houses a fragrance that you can apply whenever you need a pick-me-up. Lola is one of our favorite new scents, with notes of fruit, flowers and vanilla. Tres chic!

Price: $42 on Sephora.com

LashStash Mascara Deluxe Sampler

This mascara lengthens. That mascara is jet black. Looking for a new fave? Try a new mascara every every day of the week with Sephora’s LashStash! The kit comes packed with 10 mini versions of the store’s most “wanded” tubes. Brands like Smashbox, Benefit and Tarte are included.

Price: $39 on Sephora.com

Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadows

Play with this pretty palette to create a look that’s all your own. On-the-go, I used my fingers to apply the four shades to my peepers. No brush? No problem! The shadows blended and layered easily. Plus, the kit conveniently fit in my bag, making touch-ups a snap. This one is a beauty bargain!

Price: $6.50 on Drugstore.com. Available in a variety of shades.

Oscar Blandi Pronto Colore Root Touch Up & Highlighting Pen

Use this mini-wand to temporarily disguise those telltale roots and extend time between salon visits. You can even use it to touch up grays, or give your existing highlights a glamorous boost! The formula is free of ammonia and peroxide and is packed with gentle conditioners. Plus, it washes right out with shampoo. Think of it as an instant pick-me-up!

Price: $23 per pen on OscarBlandi.com. Available in shades ranging from Beige Blonde to Jet Black. There is also a limited edition two-pack available on Sephora.com for $30.

Cool stuff. There should be a posting such as this one WEEKLY with all types of products. There is no way in heck every woman will get these exact products for their bags. I personally must change my stuff (and handbag smilies/smiley.gif constantly depending on everything (sorry to be so vague..but yeah EVERYTHING). Things happen, change happens. smilies/cool.gif

Almost perfect...
written by Alissa Coates, January 20, 2010
The only item on the list that I wouldn't use is the Ojon Dry Cleanser. I bought it a couple months ago, stashed it in a drawer for lack of counter space and when I pulled it out a couple days later, everything was covered in liquid! The container had leaked something fierce and when I took it back they said "oh, well, that happens if you don't shake it up." WTF? I had only used it once and had DEFINITELY shaken it up.

That being said, this is a fantastic list. Don't forget the ELF brand, either...eyeslipsface.com has some really cool, miniature, purse-worthy items. And for $1 each.
