Mini Magic

I hate trying clothes on at the store nearly as much as I dislike trying make-up at the counter. That's why I love Sephora's mini sampler kits. From lipstick to nail polish, mascara to complexion powder, you can try all that you like before buying a full size. Sephora has done a great job of combining their favorite (read - best sellers) products into lovely little deluxe sampler kits. The smaller size packaging is cute, functional and carry-on friendly. And if you are a make-up junkie like I am, than the smaller sizes are perfect for trying, loving, using up and moving on to the next big thing. No waste here! You can scope out kits that are multi-company sets like the Sephora Glitz and Glam, Shimmer Shine Deluxe Sampler kit with products from Guerlain, Tarte, Laura Geller and Smashbox. And this time of year you can find single company treats like the sampler sets from Urban Decay, Lorac and Dior. Not sure what your next new favorite product is going to be and no time to look at everything? Try one of these mini magic boxes. Your make-up drawer and your pocket book will thank you.
