Are mini eyeshadow palettes worth it compared to full-size?

Mini palettes (typically 4–6 shades) are popular for travel and for testing a color story before committing to a full palette. Verified-purchase reviewers note that pan size is meaningfully smaller, so a mini you reach for daily can hit pan faster than a full-size, but most users say the curated edit is easier to actually finish than a 30-pan.
