Tiny things are inherently cute. They just are. And when it comes to makeup, going with the mini option isn't just the adorable choice, since small products can pay off in big ways. Take the new Mint Melt Eyeshadow palettes from e.l.f. Cosmetics, for example. Each of these two bite-size palettes features four pretty, mint-and-chocolate shades perfect for creating plenty of unexpectedly gorgeous eye looks. A brown smoky eye with a hint of shimmering green? Yes. A dreamy cloud of mint-green sparkle? That, too. The color combinations in each little quad work well together, and because most of us don't already have mint green in our makeup repertoire, this one palette opens up a world of larger possibilities. Read on to discover why the Mint Melt palettes are cute, cool, and sure to become one of your makeup bag's MVPs.
