Although there’s nothing quite like a crowd-pleasing investment piece, sometimes our glam budget only allows for a semi-splurge or — even better — a super steal. We’re not alone in this sentiment, as even stars like the Haim sisters opt for a beauty bargain: they wore drugstore makeup while performing on Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. If you’re looking for a mini mood boost that’s wallet-friendly, some of the best mini beauty sets are the way to go.
Mini beauty sets are pre-packaged makeup or skincare kits that are filled with a range of sample-size products that complement one another. In addition to getting a premium bang for your buck, beauty samplers are also a great way to test-drive a product before committing to the full size.
