The first time I laid eyes on a mini cosmetic product, I was in 6th grade. It was a tiny and green compact—a free gift with purchase from Clinique—and all my friends had it. They were easy to come by for them, their moms’ makeup of choice, but for me and my Covergirl mom, I could only dream.

I’m not sure what it was about those cosmetic compacts that I found so appealing. I guess I appreciated their concise nature. They were just so cute and they were perfectly proportioned to go anywhere.

As luck would have it, there are quite a few miniature goodies available today, and you don’t have to wait for a gift with purchase to enjoy them. Perfect for carrying in your clutch, purse, makeup bag or even your pocket, these mini cosmetic products make it easy to look great when you’re on the go.

Here’s a list of our top five faves:

1. Covet-worthy compact: jane iredale Mini Matte
Known as the skincare makeup, jane iredale has packed its popular mineral makeup into this small compact. These pressed minerals give just the right amount of coverage for touch ups throughout the day and work well to control oil. Features application sponge and mirror.

2. Completely cute concealer: Amazing Cosmetics A Little Amazing Concealer
Amazing cosmetics has miniaturized its full-coverage concealer so you can cover up flaws anywhere. Its formula completely conceals dark circles, acne and broken capillaries for a flawless complexion.

3. Petite powder sunscreen: Colorescience Mini Sunforgettable Orb
This pretty little ball carefully disguises the easiest sunscreen you’ll ever use. Free of chemicals, Colorescience uses natural minerals to shield your skin from the sun’s damaging UVA and UVB rays. Includes a powder puff.

4. Tiny lip plumper: DuWop Mini Venom Trio
DuWop’s Lip Venom is now even easier to take wherever you go. These glosses use essential oils to increase blood circulation in the lips for a fuller appearance while jojoba and avocado oils act as lip moisturizers. Includes three formulas: original Lip Venom, Venom Flash Silver and Venom Flash Gold.

5. Micro mascara: Tarte Bottoms Up Lower Lash Mascara
What a great idea, a short and stubby mascara for those short and stubby bottom lashes. Long lasting and flake free, this mascara makes it easy to apply to the bottom lashes without smudging, but is also perfect for top lash touch-ups throughout the day. Fits even the smallest makeup bags and clutches.
