You know the saying, good things come in small packages? These nine picks are so beloved at MECCA, their travel-sized mini products are worthy of having on hand at all times. New to any of these? In these convenient small doses, there’s never a better time to trial them at home.
1 DRUNK ELEPHANT LITTLES SET There are two types of beauty people: those who have tried Drunk Elephant, and those who have not. If you fall into the former, then this is the perfect set to have for when you’re on the go – and trust us, this beauty bag it comes in will be a surprise favourite. For Drunk Elephant novices, this is it since it covers the brand’s bestselling cleanser, serums and creams to tend to all your skin’s needs.
2 GLOW RECIPE WATERMELON GLOW SLEEPING MASK It’s hard to pick a favourite out of Glow Recipe’s fruity line-up, but if we had to… it might just be Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask. The watermelon extract combined with gentle acids means it moisturises the skin as well as refines the pores – think of it as radiance in one mini tub.
3 BY TERRY OMBRE BLACKSTAR BRONZE MOON MINI The perfect dark bronzy gold that works on every complexion, this is a perennial MECCA bestseller (it’s a MECCA HQ favourite, for one). Don’t know what it’s like to have everyone ask you what you’re wearing on your eyes? Try this in miniature to join the club.
4 MECCA COSMETICA TO SAVE FACE 50+ You know the drill – SPF always. So keep this award-winning sunscreen made by MECCA in your handbag, your pocket, by your desk to protect your skin from UV rays and for regular top ups. No excuses now.
5 DR BARBARA STURM DISCOVERY SET You’ll want this not just for the holographic bag but for the seriously cutting edge and effective skincare within it. German skin specialist Dr Barbara Sturm (she began her medical career in orthopedics where she dealt with inflammatory conditions before going down the aesthetics route, thank-you-very-much) contains everything you need for the famed Sturm glow: face cream, cleanser, facial scrub, ampoules, eye cream, body cream and face mask.
6 TOO FACED BETTER THAN SEX MASCARA With two swipes for curled lashes, and three coats for false lashes, this buildable, vegan formula is a consistent MECCA Beauty Election winner; you have to try it to believe it. And, the packaging is as blingtastic in its mini form as it is in its standard form.
7 URBAN DECAY ALL NIGHTER SETTING SPRAY If you’ve put effort into your beauty look, it’s only right to ensure that it stays in place. Enter: the Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray. This vegan, weightless mist sets and holds makeup in place for 16 hours and refreshes at the same time. And who wouldn’t want that on hand?
8 LIVING PROOF PERFECT HAIR DAY DRY SHAMPOO Dry shampoo is our most-searched for hair care product, and for good reason. This does what it says on the label – a perfect hair day in a bottle. This smart dry shampoo is a MECCA bestseller. Keep the mini version on hand to take dull, dirty hair out of the doldrums and into hair heavens in just 30 seconds.
