1 of 12: Best Overall
Rare Beauty Bestselling Faves 4 Piece Set
Cheek, Lip, Brow, and Lash Mini Set | $39.00
Shop Rare Beauty Bestselling Faves 4 Piece Set at Ulta →
If you want one box that covers cheeks, lips, brows, and lashes, this is the most complete place to start. The set includes a Soft Pinch Liquid Blush Mini in Happy, a Positive Light Luminizing Lip Gloss Mini in Glimmer, a full Brow Harmony Flexible Lifting Gel, and a Perfect Strokes Universal Volumizing Mascara Mini in Black. Together they build a fresh, finished look in four steps.
The blush is the easiest piece to use. One or two dots on each cheek, patted in with your fingertips or a brush, gives you a dewy cool-pink flush. The gloss adds a shimmering rose gold wash, and the brow gel brushes brows up and sets them with a flexible hold. It is a limited-edition set that is Only at Ulta, priced at $39 for a $65 value.
Key specs: Limited Edition · Only at Ulta · Cruelty Free · Includes Blush, Gloss, Brow Gel, and Mascara · $65 Value
Gift Tip: Choose this set for someone who wears makeup daily and likes a quick routine. Every piece works with the others, so there is nothing to match or coordinate.

3 of 12: Best for Travel
Tarte Front Row Energy Travel Essentials
Mini Eye, Lash, and Lip Trio | $35.00
Shop Tarte Front Row Energy Travel Essentials at Ulta →
Travel sizes are most useful when they cover the steps you repeat every day. This set includes a limited-edition Amazonian clay mini palette in pinks and golds, a travel-size tartelette tubing mascara in black, and a travel-size maracuja juicy lip balm in rose. That gives you eyes, lashes, and lips in a bag that takes up very little space.
The tubing mascara is designed to come off with warm water, which is convenient when you are away from your usual cleansing routine. The palette lets you mix and match shades for a lighter day look or a bolder evening one. The box has a to and from tag, so it works as a ready-to-give gift at $35 for a $60 value.

Frequently asked questions about mini gift sets
What is a mini gift set?
A mini gift set is a collection of smaller-size products, often travel or deluxe sizes, packaged together at a set price. Many include a mix of makeup, skin care, hair care, or fragrance. Some, like the Benefit Cosmetics Beneville Blossoms Beauty Trio, also include a full-size product alongside the minis. Because the sets are priced below the combined value of the pieces, they are a practical way to try new products.
What are the best mini gift sets for makeup?
For a full look, Rare Beauty Bestselling Faves 4 Piece Set covers cheeks, lips, brows, and lashes. For more variety, Polite Society Petite & Popular 6 Piece Discovery Set includes six pieces and a mini makeup bag. If you prefer a soft, natural finish, the NUDESTIX Sweet Cheeks 3 Piece Mini Kit uses multi-use color for eyes, cheeks, and lips.
What are good mini gift sets for lips?
Clarins The Mini Lip Hits Gift Set offers a stain, an oil, and a gloss. Charlotte Tilbury Mini Glossy Pink Lip Gloss + Lip Liner Set pairs a liner with a gloss for a defined pout. The FENTY BEAUTY Space Trace Lip Set is a lower-priced option at $23.
Are mini gift sets good for travel?
Yes, in most cases. Smaller sizes take up less room in a carry-on or weekend bag. Tarte Front Row Energy Travel Essentials and Polite Society Petite & Popular 6 Piece Discovery Set are both designed with travel in mind, and the Polite Society set includes a mini makeup bag. Check current airline and TSA liquid rules for any gel, spray, or liquid product before you fly.
How do you choose a mini gift set for someone else?
Start with what the person already wears. If they use makeup every day, a set like the Benefit Cosmetics trio or Rare Beauty set fits easily into their routine. If they like to try new things, a larger collection such as Beauty Finds Holiday Glam Essentials or the 25 Days of Beauty Advent Calendar gives them more to explore. Look at the shade options on the product page, since some sets come in more than one shade.
Where can I buy mini gift sets?
All of the mini gift sets in this guide are available at Ulta Beauty, online and in many cases for store pickup. Availability can vary by location, so check the product page for your store. Several sets are Only at Ulta, and prices and offers can change.
