I got this mirror as a gift for my birthday, and it has made such a difference in how well I do my makeup. It is very high quality.
The mirror is two sided, one with a normal reflection and one where your reflection is 7 times bigger. Both sides are lighted. The magnification makes it so easy to do finicky things like eyeliner, lip liner, and eyebrow tweezing.
The light has both a bright and dim setting, which is very helpful as lighting changes throughout the day, at least at my makeup table. The light is a ring light style with a frosted bit of plastic on top, which diffuses the light evenly across your face. It is a cool light as well. It is battery operated and I have not needed to change the batteries yet. That being said I did struggle to open the compartment a bit, but this just indicates that it is high quality.
I would definitely recommend this mirror to anyone, but especially to those with awkward lighting in their homes and to those who struggle with the finicky types of makeup.
Full price at Farmers this mirror costs $79.99, but quite often they have a 50% off sale. I got this mirror during one of those sales so it was only $39.99. I honestly couldn't live without this mirror (okay maybe not haha). But it is seriously amazing and it has significantly improved how I do my makeup since I've owned it.
This mirror has two sides, one with normal magnification and one with 7x magnification. You just spin the mirrors around to switch to the other side. Both mirrors are very clear. The first time I looked in the side with 7x magnification, I got quite a shock! I could literally see every individual hair and pore on my face. I now pluck my own brows because of how easy it is to do with this mirror, so it has saved me a good amount of money.
This mirror is battery operated. There was another similar mirror at Farmers that required you to plug it into the wall to turn the lights on, but I wanted one that was easy to move around. I've owned this mirror for over a year now and I use it pretty much everyday. I've only needed to replace the batteries once. The lights are bright enough to illuminate your face well, but not too bright that they hurt your eyes. The lights can either be on high, low, or off. I generally keep it on high because I find that the low setting is too dim. But it's good that they give you the option.
I take this mirror with me whenever I travel. I find it so difficult to do my makeup with a normal mirror now. The side with 7x magnification makes it really easy to do my eyeshadow, eyebrows, eyeliner, and lipstick. It helps me to ensure that my makeup looks flawless. I would recommend this mirror to anyone. If you don't own a mirror like this, you should buy this one. It makes it so much easier to apply makeup and it also makes it look even better!
