There's something irresistibly exciting about having a mini beauty product in your palm, akin to discovering treasure at the bottom of your handbag. Being a resident Gen Z girlie with a weakness for anything petite and boujee, luxe minis have officially become my not-so-guilty pleasure. I mean, who can help but fall for a teeny NARS mini mascara or an itty-bitty Miss. Dior that would not be out of place in a dollhouse? Not only are they more than cute, but they also allow you to get your toes wet in the luxury bucket without cannonballing into credit card balances. Consider them the gateway to high-end beauty, tiny enough to justify, luxurious enough to brag about. In time, grabbing these luxe little treats has become a habit, a ritual even, and in all honesty, I'm not complaining. Whether I’m curating my vanity like it’s a Pinterest board or just want to glam up my 2 a.m. selfies, minis always come through. In this blog, I’m spilling all the tea on the luxe minis that are 100% worth the splurge because good things do come in small, shiny packages.
