As someone with a love of all things miniature,this is invariably where I lose all self-control and buy enough tiny products for my next 90 holidaysThere are many reasons I feel disgruntled at no longer having Sephora beauty stores in the UK, and chief among them is the loss of the mini bar, or the area at the checkout where hundreds of great products appear shrunken in size and price for the purposes of sampling or travelling light (like a luxury version of Superdrug’s excellent travel size aisle). As someone with a love of all things miniature,this is invariably where I lose all self-control and buy enough tiny products for my next 90 holidays. Now I can earn the same thrill from my sofa.
Mail-order beauty retailer Feel Unique has just launched its brilliant Pick’n’Mix scheme, allowing customers to choose any five generous beauty samples for free, and no purchase necessary (you pay £3.95 p&p in exchange for a same-value gift voucher to redeem against future shopping). The choice of samples is enormous and impressive. Among my favourites are mini Iman foundations,Murad’s excellent sunscreens, Carita and Institut Esthederm moisturisers, and Guerlain,Prada and Miller Harris scents, Ojon, or Aveda and Phyto hair products,and hi-tech serums from Verso, Ren and Shiseido.
