Meet your new BFF! STOP searching, here's the one!
Stop your hours upon hours if searching & order this! I did a ridiculous amount of online & offline shopping for a makeup mirror with great lighting & glass that didn't distort. I think I skipped over this one because it looked so different. That it turns out is a GREAT thing! No weird green/yellow/pink toned light for things like office, home or night. Who needs that? We have busy days! Who has time to wash your face & reapply makeup 3 or 4 times a day depending in where you will be? Other mirrors had dim lighting. This produces a bright EVEN light on a large surface that allows you to see your face & hair. It can be tilted to fit many angles & just moving it backwards or forwards then tilting gives you a vast array of positions & angles to choose from. The smaller magnification mirror than can be flipped forward when you need it is GENIUS for eye makeup application & tweezing, or any close up magnified job. When you don't need it, it easily flips to the back out of your way.
Now. The lighting. This is a biggie and a possible deal breaker. I can say I suffer from severe migraines & bright or intense light is a big trigger. From the other reviews I was afraid to order this thinking it would cause a migraine & nothing is worth that pain. However, the other reviewers have my eternal thanks for the heads up!! When I switched it on the first time ( very nervously I might add ) I just told myself "don't look at the lights." I didn't. I just focused straight ahead into the mirror which is VERY EASY to do! Keep your line of vision on your face and/or hair and the lights cause zero problems. I saw my first neurologist at 2 years old, thats how long (Im 43 now) and severe my migraines are. If I can use this daily with no problems I really believe anyone can. If you are somebody thats ultra curious and just HAS TO peek this isn't your mirror if you are light sensitive in any way. But truly it is NO BIG DEAL & NOT HARD to look at the mirror straight on. The surface is so big, the light so even & bright, the magnifying mirror brilliantly placed & distortion free once you find your sweet spot, plus the reasonable price add up to a GREAT mirror! I used it daily for over a month without reviewing and it's consistently been great. I love it!!! Oh! Also, it is so lightweight I questioned it's sturdiness but no worries there. Haven't had a problem with tip overs or anything even tho my make up area is in a pretty high traffic area. Hope this helped, and I can save someone else A LOT of time I wasted!
