Stocking-stuffer season just got a lot easier. On October 28, Victoria's Secret PINK launched The PINK Mini Bar, a new beauty destination built around the brand's first-ever beauty collaborations. Nine brands, 16 exclusive products, and nothing over $25. The smallest thing in the lineup starts at $4.
The collection is live now at vspink.com, and it arrives in PINK stores across the U.S. and Puerto Rico on Wednesday, November 4, with dedicated beauty sections in store.
What's in the Mini Bar
The partner brands are Patchology, Touchland, Vacation, Mario Badescu, Wet Brush, Kiss, Fazit, Clean Skin Club and SpaLife, and each one gets the PINK treatment in limited-edition packaging.
On the skincare side, Patchology made under-eye patches with polka dots and the PINK logo, Mario Badescu is offering its Watermelon Facial Spray with a PINK charm, and SpaLife has face masks in shades of pink. Clean Skin Club's Clean Towels come in packaging with heart and dog artwork, which is honestly the most PINK thing in the whole launch.
For the bag, Touchland's best-selling Wild Watermelon hand sanitizer comes with PINK icon stickers, and Vacation packed a trio of its SPF essentials into an exclusive PINK belt bag. Wet Brush's Mini Detangler gets pink crystal embellishments. For a little sparkle, Kiss made press-on nails in PINK hues and polka dots, and Fazit has its Speckles and Eye Speckles stickers with metallic hearts and stars.
What we'd actually buy
The price point is the whole appeal. These are small, cute, useful things that fit in a stocking, a teacher or coworker gift bag, or a "just because" envelope for a friend who has had a week. If you are building one gift, a Touchland sanitizer plus the Wet Brush mini makes a practical pair for a gym bag or a car console. The Vacation belt bag is the most giftable single item, since it is a real bag plus SPF, which is the kind of thing people do not buy for themselves in November.
The Patchology eye patches and SpaLife masks are the self-care treats. Buy two, keep one. Nobody has to know.
Good to know
PINK has always skewed younger, and some of the packaging is very much for the teen and college crowd. That makes this a good place to shop for nieces, daughters and younger sisters, too. Because these are limited-edition collaborations, popular items could sell out online before the in-store launch on November 4. If there is a specific piece you want, ordering online is the safer bet.
The full assortment is on vspink.com, and the launch details are in PINK's announcement.
