There’s something irresistible about anything fun-sized. Which you’ll know all too well if you’ve ever paid a room service bill post mini-bar snack attack.
Whether you’re shy about commitment or planning a getaway, travel-sized mini products are worth having on hand. Here are some of our very faves from MECCA’s Mini Mart – no bar tab required.
Some things are just non‑negotiable when you travel, and Laura Mercier’s iconic Translucent Loose Setting Powder tops the list for great makeup. Beloved by makeup artists and beauty lovers alike, this ultra‑fine powder sets your look, blurs imperfections and keeps shine at bay without ever feeling heavy. Now in a perfectly portable mini, it’s ready to go wherever you are, making touch‑ups effortless and ensuring your skin stays flawless from take‑off to touch‑down.
The ultimate travel companion! This mini version of Kosas’ creamy concealer packs the same potent blend of nourishing peptides and light-reflecting silk pigments that made the full-size cult classic a beauty bag hero. It glides on seamlessly, delivering lightweight coverage that lasts through long flights, busy days and just about anything you throw at it.
Stale air on long‑haul flights or hours spent commuting do nothing for your hair - but a quick spritz of Gisou’s hair perfume instantly brings it (and you) back to life. They‘re housed in sleek, travel-friendly bottles (no spills!) that fit almost unnoticed into your handbag or carry‑on. Each spritz delivers Gisou’s nourishing Mirsalehi honey base with a gorgeous scent (choose Wild Rose, Lavender Berry or the original scent) to leave your hair feeling hydrated and smelling luxurious.
This little bottle can achieve big things for irritated skin. Loved for its skin‑soothing, bacteria‑busting superpowers, Tower 28’s beloved SOS Spray harnesses hypochlorous acid – an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory powerhouse that keeps bacterial buildup, breakouts and redness under control. It’s alcohol, oil and fragrance‑free, pH‑balanced and even carries the Eczema Association of Australasia seal so it's gentle enough for the most reactive skin. Just a few spritzes from this mini bottle will calm irritation, refresh after a workout or during long-haul travel, and help reset your skin when showering isn’t an option.
No space to pack a full-size palette? No problem. Swing past MECCA’s Mini Mart to pick up the travel-sized version of NARS’ award-winning blush instead. In miniature size, the silky, blendable formula still delivers maximum impact, allowing you dial up or down your glow in seconds. Available in two versions of that iconic shade: the original peachy-pink flush with a hint of golden shimmer and a matte, slightly deeper peachy-pink hue.
When packing begins to feel like a game of Tetris, even downsizing your lip products makes all the difference. Thankfully, a little of Polite Society’s B.I.G. Mouth Lip Plumping Oil Gloss goes a long way. Infused with capsicum extract, it provides a temporary warming sensation that enhances lip fullness, while blueberry oil helps to nourish and smooth. And its oversized doe-foot applicator ensures precise application, making it perfect for speedy touch-ups. Trust us when we say swipe delivers more than enough volume and glossy hydration.
Travel (air travel in particular) dries out your skin like nothing else, which is why we love to keep a hydrating mist within arm’s reach. This calming mist instantly hydrates, soothes and perks up tired skin with aloe and sage, while the uplifting orange blossom scent is like a mini reset. Try a quick spritz onto your face and neck after applying your moisturiser or makeup for a dewy finish. You can even mist into your hair for an instant refresh.
