Beauty miniatures are great for so many reasons. Not only are they space saving, but they're also money saving too. And, they make for excellent stocking fillers as well.
Remember when beauty miniatures were a bit... crap? OK, maybe that's too harsh a word. Let's say, "functional" instead. The good news is, we're living in a brave new world, and it's full of a variety of brilliant mini beauty products. They're cute, affordable and space saving. Plus, they offer us a chance to try out luxury products before committing to full the sized (full priced) versions.
We've chosen ten of our favourites that you can keep for yourself, or use as stocking filler ideas.
