You’ve probably caught the trend on Tiktok or you might have thought of the trick yourself. But, for those who have done neither, welcome to a new world you won’t ever leave. Purchasing the travel size of beauty brands you’re curious about is the ultimate life hack to trying out something new that might be worth the money but you need to take for a test drive first. Shops like Ulta, Sephora, and even Target offer travel size options that are half the size (less space being taken up in your cabinet), and half the price (or just about). And, if you’re really dedicated to the ‘try it first’ buying trend, there’s always Ipsy, a monthly subscription to a “Glam Bag” with travel size and sometimes even full-size products personalized to you.
Below is a list of must-try products for your little (get it? wink wink) beauty haul.
Travel Size But Minus The Travel Part
Took us long enough to realize that, huh? But, we’re here not and we’re thriving with options.
- Laniege is no secret to the world. Their lip mask has become a cult favorite. You can try it along with their cleansing foam, hyaluronic serum, cream moisturizer, and water sleeping mask for as little as $35. To put this into perspective, the full-size lip mask alone is $25.

- CeraVe is the popular over-the-counter dermatologist-approved skincare line with options for sensitive, oily, and normal to dry skin. Get to know the brand with its travel-size set of foaming face wash, hydrating face wash, moisturizing cream, and lotion for just $35 on Amazon, or purchase the items individually at Ulta for as low as $6.99.

- Dreaming of designer? Sephora sells the Valentino Born In Roma perfume set, in miniature of course, for just $35. Find your next scent by trying them all without ending up with 7 bottles to do nothing more than decorate your dresser.

- Deodorant is a common necessity we get curious to try new types of but don’t often venture into. It’s completely understandable. What if it isn’t compatible with you but you just spent $10 on this all-natural, aluminon-free, good-for-you product? Just put it up there with the perfumes. Anyways, figure out which brand you’re curious to try next and find it in travel size. You can get a brand love Dove at Target for just $1.59.

- Make-up is probably the best bang for your buck when shopping travel size. There is always something new coming to the shelves and it’s expensive to keep up. Treat yourself to a new foundation, lip kit, or eye-shadow palette but in its mini version to make sure you like what it does for your face before committing to the full-size option.
