    I think I must be weird. (Oh, okay, I am.) I really enjoy decanting things, especially when it's for a holiday. I know I'm not the only one, though. Right?
    For me it's part of getting ready to go on holiday - I don't particularly enjoy finding suitable containers (the sizes and indeed products required vary according to how my skin and hair are doing, so I don't just have one single set I can pull out each time) but when it's done it is satisfying to tick off one holiday preparation task.  The actual decanting, yes I enjoy too.

    I've seen sets by Biossance, Byoma and Drunk Elephant that have the minis in a routine that you can just buy and be done with it.  I'm lucky that the skincare that I use also has come in mini sizes in the past so I just re-use those mini containers to decant my usual sizes into.  Also when I order from places like Space NK etc, they always offer free mini's so I pick those based on what I might need.  I'm going away to Portugal later in the year and taking hand luggage only so have made sure I have a lot of sachets of things to take to cut down on the amount of liquids I'm taking.

    3 for 2 on travel minis in Wilko- if they haven't sold out.
    An expensive way to buy but once you have the smaller bottles you can refill.
     They also had clear 100ml bottles @65 pence each- but OOS online- of course may be available in branch. They had a pack of asst bottles & mini jars  just over £4- again OOS online
