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 GoIn a rush? Don’t have time to wash your hair? No problem!

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
 constantly depending on everything (sorry to be so vague..but yeah EVERYTHING). Things happen, change happens.

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.
