6 Miniatures I Want in Full-Size. | Blogtober

The other day I was having a scroll through Bloglovin’ for the first time in forever and came across iridescentplaces.com new blog post where shade shared 4 Miniatures I Want in Full-Size and I thought it was such a great idea for a post. Miniatures are just the most practical of products, they’re great for trying new products out, they fit so well in your handbag and they’re perfect for travelling. I’ve always got a number of miniatures on the go so it was too hard to pick only 4, but here are the 6 miniatures I want in full size.
ESPA Overnight Hydration Therapy:

The first product I want in full size is the ESPA Overnight Hydration Therapy which you’ve probably seen me talk about quite a lot on my blog. I received my first sample of this back in the 2018 LookFantastic Advent Calendar which my skin absolutely fell in love with and I did get another sample when I trained with ESPA last year. It’s a deep treatment mask that I always use almost like a serum and pop on before bed when my skin needs a little pick me up. After using, my skin always feels really soft and supple with a healthy glow about it and it also has a strong lavender scent which helps to get a good nights sleep. This mask is best used overnight, hence the name, because it has an ingredient call the 4 O’clock flower which rejuvenates itself in the middle of the night, so it does exactly that to your skin throughout the night too. I highly recommend giving this a try!

Smashbox Photo Finish Hydrating Under Eye Primer:

I’ve had a number of different products from Smashbox in the past but they’ve always been samples and miniatures. I’ve had the Hydrating Under Eye Primer for longer than I should probably admit, but when I do get round to using it, I forget just how much I love it. I honestly don’t know why you’d need an under eye primer, but I use it both under my eyes and all over the lid and find it really hydrating; more like an eye cream. I do have quite dry under eyes and when they’re particularly dry I use this and it dos really help on those days.

Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer:

Also from Smashbox, I have their Foundation Primer and I’ve had sample after sample of this and never really needed to buy the full size. I find a lot of silicone based primers to be quite drying but this one is more smoothing, fills in the pores and makes my skin feel really soft whilst also mattifying any more oily areas. It is a little more pricey than my other go-to primers, but it does keep my foundation and the rest of my base products looking great throughout the day.

Benefit Gimme Brow:

Next up is my new ride or die brow product, the Benefit Gimmie Brow. This is one of those products that many beauty gurus and bloggers have raved about for a good couple of years now and, although I’ve had this in my ‘new in’ draw since last December, it was only a few months or so ago that I actually took it out of the packaging to try it out; I now couldn’t be without it. During lock down when my brows were really in need of being done, my normal products I would use just didn’t make them look great at all, so I decided to use this and it really tidies them up, adds some colour and keeps them in place all day. I much prefer more natural brows at the moment and it’s all down to this one little product.

MAC Lipstick in Velvet Teddy:

Velvet Teddy is one of those lipsticks that I always have to have in my collection; I can’t be without it. Although I have previously has this in a full size, I just find this mini bullet so cute, however there just isn’t enough product in it! It’s the perfect warm toned dark nude, its my all time favourite lipstick and I think it always will be.

Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme Gloss:
My last miniature that I want in full size is the Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme Gloss. I have tried many different lip plumpers, none of which seem to do anything but this one is a game changer. You can definitely feel that it’s working as it’s like really bad pins and needles but it isn’t painful. Within a few minutes your lips look much more plump and makes them a pinky red colour because of the tingling. It’s great to use alone or with your favourite lipstick/ lip liner; I use this as more of a prep whilst I’m doing the rest of my makeup and then will apply my lip products on top to finish. This is one of those products that I cannot recommend enough and you won’t find me using any other lip plumper.

Have you tried any of these products? Have you found any miniatures you want in full size?
As always, thank you so much for taking the time to read this post, I really hope you enjoyed reading a different sort of post to what I usually do and I will see you tomorrow with a new one.
