Also, sometimes you just know you don't need a full size product. Why buy more if you won't use it/end up throwing it away?

[@ILuvAyeAye]

Particularly when you look at when you're supposed to change out makeup for safety (particularly eye products). If you don't wear makeup everyday, you're never going to go through a full size before it expires!

[@anaisanais4626]

Esp the stuff that dries fast

[@Sing_A_Rebel_Song]

Frrr

[@zariaackermann3147]

Mini mascaras are worth it imo because I never even finish them by the end of 3 months, so there's no point in getting a full size. (I learned my lesson with expired mascara😬)

[@StreetCents]

stays juicy 😭

[@anaisanais4626]

This

[@HillbillyYEEHAA]

I always finish mine. If you clean the wand every now and again, you'll find it works like new again. The wand gets chunky dried product on it.

[@zariaackermann3147]

@@HillbillyYEEHAA it is not worth getting a nasty eye infection just to use up mascara. I never finish mine because you're meant to throw away mascara after 3 months of use because it builds up bacteria.😭

[@Myidealjobisnojob]

I have never finished a makeup product before expiration date. Specially a foundation. I do wish they offered smaller portions and comprobable pricing.

[@CatCatCaat]

I love minis because I can actually finish the product rather than wasting it

[@suzq2744]

If you have a large makeup collection or just don’t wear makeup that often the minis are often worth it because you can’t finish the full size products before they expire (like you were saying about the mascara drying out). If someone has a very small collection of makeup and/or wear makeup very often the full size may be a better deal because they will actually finish the entire product💯

[@readingonabeach]

I mean mini cream/stick blushes, bronzers and highlights can be worth it especially since you’re rarely going to go through the whole thing

[@mnrv_nn]

i’ve gone through three cream stick blushes 🙋🙋 now i’m trying pan LOL

[@hazel8043]

I like minis for traveling (especially on airlines with size limits, but still just to save space in my bag and stay organized) I also like minis just to try a products I'm not sure about I also like minis for products that I don't use daily, like occasional products that will expire before I can finish it. So my daily skin care and makeup look is all full size, but my fun colors, or extra long lasting products are minis

[@yoannasantos4389]

Of course it was Rare Beauty! We love how thoughtful Queen Selena is ❤️

[@emannhen]

If a brand has a mini I will be more tempted to try a product because like you said it's less $$$ up front. I usually always buy a mini first and then the full size if I love it.

[@alinamorov7075]

There's a collection of 4 mini Olaplex products for around 30euros when normally 1 olaplex product is 30+ euros. I have waist length hair and can make these last a couple of months. I legit fear the day they remove these minis.

[@gaushichauhan897]

Can you guys try to make a mini skincare routine under 20-25$

[@summer_1617]

PLEASE LET MORE PEOPLE SEE THIS! Sephora sometimes will give you a sample of I think certain products if you ask and are just wanting to try it before u buy it. I got the dew drops in a free sample

[@viceodysseyvalor3089]

Girl is not using mascara right if it's drying up on her. Don't pump the bottle, swirl the wand instead.

[@MissRockHawk]

Also the too faced lip injection was cheaper in the mini version in European Sephoras

[@V4lkyrieT3ch]

As a makeup student, getting mini sizes is amazing for one-stop jobs or if you are working on a small party of clients at a time. It means you spend less on the products and will likely have some left over depending on your work schedule!

[@MariaTurner161]

I saw a conspiracy that the formulation for mascara especially is better in the minis to make you buy the full size

[@maggieedna]

Mini mascaras are where it's at.

[@koolaid_girl]

The tower 28 SOS mini facial spray is $12, so I would say thats a win!

[@isabelvillegas4005]

yeah it's cheap but it would only work for this video if it was cheaper than 7 dollars

[@ericatucker2683]

The mini products are absolutely worth it to me. I have a massive amount of makeup and there is no way that I can get through an entire blush before it expires or starts smelling funky. Especially with any liquid products or products that go on my eyes that aren't powders, I will absolutely get many of available. When I know that I love something and want to use it for a long period of time or very regularly, then I'll get a full-size product

[@Blackbirdinthedeadofnight]

Bad seed I’m sorry for the misfortune you’ve had and the many tragedies you’ve been through. I applaud you for surviving and making the best out of the life given to you and not giving up. I wish you many blessings for you and your family and for life to become easier and peaceful.

[@No-ue5pi]

I get minis of products like mascara that go bad quickly, if it's something sensitive and I don't think I can use the full size up before it expires. Also sometimes I'll get both the mini and the full size, one for at home and one for on the go

[@squidwardtentacles4234]

The abh brow freeze tube thing mini. It’s cheaper by a whole dollar to by two of those instead of the full size

[@daydreamerjim6603]

Minis will rarely be "worth it" simply cause companies WANT you to buy the full size. But also, as someone who uses beauty products very sporadically, minis are ALWAYS worth it just cause I'd rather spend more/ml than have product go to waste

[@user-bl5br2kp6p]

I love getting the minis for gifting except for when there is a sale on the full size that is so much more worth it

[@hfaye14]

I kinda just wish they would provide more mini sizes of things... I have to buy full size for a lot of things I only use once in a while, and then disposing of it feels like such a waste. I like minis because I don't wear makeup everyday

[@christinaziccardi2403]

For me oftentimes the mini will last me the same amount of time as a full size before its unusable/expired. So it is a money save in the long run because I just wont use the entire product!

[@lucybrown4230]

That’s a good point about the mascaras.

[@tonilee1013]

I also love mini mascaras so they don't dry out!!

[@statisticallyspeaking2067]

A lot of things like powder, blush, generally things that last a long time without running out, i always go for the mini. Same goes for my mascara because they expire and a lot of time the minis perform better and i feel better when i have the minis because i try out a lot of mascaras and i don’t want to have a large one that will just go bad. But things like body cream that i need a large amount of i will always go with the large size

[@vanessabogaert2104]

I buy products that I don’t use frequently, so I can use them up before they go bad. Or if I need travel sizes.

[@SelinaCsl0]

Mini translucent setting powders! Omg you never run through them even if you use it frequently 😚🤌

[@Julia123yay]

all my sephora products are minis 😭

[@natalieradforde]

Why rare beauty is literally the best makeup brand to exist ever

[@Ater_Draco]

I like mini mascaras because I wasted a lot of full size mascaras through expiration dates

[@user-zk8gq1lc4j]

To me instead of buying all the full size SDJ items I just buy the minis kit and the perfume is enough the body wash is enough and the lotions or cream is enough so saying I think the mini kit is worth it

[@welza001]

I do mini ones when I travel because it makes it so much easier.

[@PatchCreativeStudio]

If I want to try a product first and if I’m travelling and I only have to bring a carry-on bag… it’s worth it for me since I only do the basics and I mostly focus on skincare.

[@ducksareamazing28]

i bought the mini rare beauty mascara and im obsessed with it, its harder to accidentally get it on my face

[@jessieu1987]

Most minis to me. Especially mascara. Mascara expires after 3 months. Do people really go through a whole bottle in 3 months?

[@XxforevercandygirlXx]

Actually 6 months

[@gameoftomes14]

I have dexterity issues because of nerve pain and smaller lipsticks and such are much easier for me to hold and use. I always gravitate towards minis.

[@nildarivera2403]

As someone who doesn't wear makeup often, the minis are worth it! I don't think that's the case for skincare or haircare unless you're testing something out 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@kendihalindebiri5902]

Blush, definitely, who runs out of them?

[@heytheredollfacex]

It depends how much you'll use the product. If you want a better deal on minis, wait for a minis sale or get them in a set. The sets are usually worth it. For example, the Bum Bum cream mini does come in a set with other mini products. Other sets can include both a full size and a mini size of a product, which are worth it depending how you use a product.

[@myraamanda]

the milk makeup one used to be a mini size. now its their normal size. i used to have the old fullsize and it takes awhile to finish

[@TheNextBestSelling]

I like minis because i rarely finish products unless it's basic hygiene stuff like body wash, lotion, deodorant, etc... i love makeup, but i only do it on special occasions or when I'm in the mood to wear it. So a lot of products get wasted. But minis let me finish it to completion. Especially mascaras.

[@miaironstone6783]

I buy a lot of minis just because i like to have a variety of products to choose from, but i never finish a full size by the time it expires

[@TsukuyomiStar]

I like getting tiny cause i dont use make up often at all i usually just use it for fun lmao and even when i use it for cosplays i dont cosplay often

[@bourbonbiscuits8729]

The tutorial music drowned you out a bit but this video has been very entertaining and i really enjoyed your commentary and diligency to always check if the numbers matched up

[@Arn345]

Also the glow recipe watermelon toner as a mini, almost got it but then I remembered that I already had a toner and opted for a summer Fridays lip balm

[@toko_ribbon]

Mini lipsticks- because I never ever get thru a full size before color is out of fashion or tube went bad

[@CooiFrugi-bb4mx]

The the normal sized rare beauty mascara has been through wars with sephora kids

[@XxforevercandygirlXx]

Not even funny

[@_fari8_]

For me, skincare minis are definitely worth it. I need to test it on my skin before finally commiting.

[@mothmanlol6263]

The Mac mini mascaras are my favourites

[@Kazbrekkersfavouriteinvestment]

I got a mini translucent powder bc I do not need the full size and so far, with about 4 months with this thing, I still have like 3/5 left

[@vlncentchan]

I wish there'd be more mini items in places where I shop, I don't need to commit to a full size foundation when I barely use it.....

[@Nobodyd-pu5eu]

I just bought a mini Vaseline thingy even though I have a bigger one since Vaseline helps my lips and I couldn’t find lip balms

[@ff-zo2nk]

just bought the new Clarins lip oil trio ... seemed like a good buy.

[@Elizabeth-hr9zh]

6TH GRADE MATH CAME IN CLUTCH

[@mandalyngarrett5390]

Most of the time the full size are thrown away before using it all. So it's really a question of how much can you use out of a product.

[@MadAboutBrows]

Mascaras & some lip colors!

[@SugaSwooga]

Nah they’re gonna start raising the prices now 😭

[@XxforevercandygirlXx]

Nooo armyy 😢

[@starsdestiny]

I do this for skincare if they don't offer trials to test it against my skin rather than committing to full size

[@bats9426]

I find it ridiculous that most people need this and can't do basic math to calculate the difference between the full size and mini based on volume of product. I grew up doing that in general but maybe it's because I never had to luxury of blindly and carelessly splurging. (But am very grateful that some people buy the minis because they are very self aware about either wastefulness or the fact that most times you won't use the entire product within its expiration lifespan)

[@PreppyMonster224]

Are you guys in Canada? Because down here the mini bum bum cream is $22 and the big one is $44

[@elianakim8192]

I love minis! I wear makeup maybe once a month, so it's not worth it to me to buy full size products. They expire within 6-12months normally, and they would last me 6-12 years with how infrequently I use makeup

[@XxforevercandygirlXx]

I wear makeup everyday

[@teknosbeka]

I buy things mini if I know I would never use up a full sized one

[@Ilovecookieswithketchup]

This is why I love true beauty

[@CraftyLittleGnome]

It’s not called true beauty no hate

[@Ilovecookieswithketchup]

@@CraftyLittleGnome wdym, I'm talking about the make up brand??

[@jasminejjgamer]

hi! I’m going to Ontario in 4 days and I saw in your babysitting video that you live there! I just wanted to say that’s cool! :)

[@aurorannerenee]

I want to try minis mainly for skincare I’m not sure I’ll like, like glow recipe. It’s just so expensive to dive right into, so I might as well buy the mini first, just to try it out, you know?

[@maiasitter677]

I don't buy a lot of make up, but when I first moved out of my parents house it was hard for me to stop buying the giant size of everything. The giant size is cheaper per ounce, so obviously Im buying that one! Duh! But on my own I was now going through food a lot slower. Many of those bulk products that my giant family could go through quite fast were now spoiling before I could finish them, making me actually end up spending more money per ounce on a lot of things. If you won't finish the bigger size before it expires, it may actually not be a better deal for you!

[@HummingBird5713]

Minis make sense, if you travel somewhere only with a handluggae and you have limited space. Beside that it's a cash grab

[@sandrinefaith8662]

The mini rare beauty liquid blush is also worth the money

[@suzq2744]

The minis are worth it in my opinion because the full size ones are just too expensive a lot of the time, especially with things like perfume. Travel sizes, rollerballs, and dabblers are all so much more affordable than the full size bottles most of the time anyway. There are some more affordable ones where I spring for the full size but most of the time it’s just not worth it to me. That being said if I was rich and could afford to get the full size products then I probably would but generally speaking I’m not going to spend more than $50 on a single product regardless of size💯

[@parkhibaldwa6151]

Do a series for thrm

[@curllie1366]

if the mini size is even more expensive, it kind of explain that the main cost come from the packaging not the product itself……so they might not worth your $$

[@chikariarikukuto]

I buy all mini size because I use makeup occasionally so mini lasts me longer than usual.

[@aulestiamanuela7611]

I don’t think I’ve ever get bought a full size from Sephora for myself; and if I have it’s because I tried the product once and liked it, or because the mini option was either out of stock or doesn’t exist. They may cost an extra $10 if you measure the quantity of the product, but I’d rather spend 20$ on a perfume that I didn’t like, then a $80 perfume that I didn’t like

[@julietaromero6082]

The fact that I own mostly minis but for my rare beauty mascara is kinda sad

[@XxforevercandygirlXx]

I have a makeup collection and a bunch of tarte mascaras some of them are already dry

[@beach_lifeee]

The mini Anastasia clear brow gel is $9 and has lasted me like almost 2 months it’s really good

[@KarolinaPietryka]

It smells HORRIBLE and doesn’t do anything to my eyebrows

[@user-ks7uj7wh1d]

i love ur vids

[@1g5efj7t]

I always get the minis mascaras cause its more hygienic

[@Shar.55]

I like the Glow Recipe Fruit Babies for my travel kit 🤷‍♀️ (all minis)

[@uhrrrrrangels]

Minis are worth it if you want to test a product first.

[@neilaeaddy8250]

i will always buy minis at sephora bc like right the upfront cost is cheaper LOL

[@gypsybaby3196]

You don't always get minis for the volume a lot of times minis are great for travel

[@nnooaahhnnooaahh]

I do this with dry goods at the grocery store, or things like onions and potatoes. Always have my calculator out 😂

[@wa11ie]

buying the mini before commiting to the full thing is the correct math. i have sensitive skin, if i buy a new cleanser and it burns my face, that is a full bottle of cleanser going to waste.

[@lilywang2348]

Mini size eyeshadow palette would be great for every brands😆

[@2cluelesspups]

The reason the minis are mini and cheaper is so you can try it and see if you like it and if you do you will go back and buy a normal one aswell and if the minis gave more then people would just buy them twice and save money

[@itsakshitavlogs3707]

the sol de janero cream mini is $22 not 40 and the big one is $48 not 65

[@Booby_toesdays]

Mini mascaras, it is impossible to finish them before they expire or dry out. The minis also mean you can switch it every month and never get eye infections from it

[@KarolinaPietryka]

I hate mini mascaras they never perform as well as the full size
