Models Prefer Magnifying Mirror
I bought this mirror last week as I needed a magnifying mirror with lighting as well.I bought it at Priceline for AU$30. It runs on a 9V battery.
The mirror itself feels nice and sturdy with a decent amount of weight in the base so it doesn't feel like it will fall over easily. It has 2 mirrors, you just flip the bezel to which side you want - normal or magnified.
The light is OK, it could be brighter. I will keep it for a little while longer and see how I go.
The other Vanity mirrors I have seen that are similar but run on mains power cost AU$30-50 more than this one.
It magnifies 3x which isn't a huge amount but I have good eyesight, so I just want the magnification for makeup touch-ups not to actually see to apply the makeup, which I know is an issue for some people.
The ones I looked at in other shops had 10x magnification. Just so you know, brace yourself if you look in a 10x mirror, I nearly died of fright seeing my pores like that!!!
If you are curious about magnifying mirror reviews there is a very good one on YouTube by Angie of HotandFlashy. She goes all out to give in depth reviews of products she likes and dislikes.
All up I like this mirror for the AU$30 price tag. It does the job and looks quite nice sitting on my table!
Do you use magnifying vanity mirrors? What do you think of them?
