Conair 10x Magnifying Suction Cup Mirror Review

Purchased (Affiliate Links)

As previously noted, I recently was out-of-town for several days and managed to forget my tweezers, mirror and a few other essentials at home in the rush to run out the door. Among those forgotten essentials was a good magnifying mirror, and I decided to buy the Conair 10x Magnifying Suction Cup Mirror, which is 3 1/2" in diameter. It is the perfect size to fit in my travel bag, and is the precise size of the one that I forgot at home. While shopping, I found a few cheaper variants, but I was willing to spend more and get one that was more durable and ultimately better quality. This effortlessly attaches, via its suction cups, to a larger mirror or window so that you can have it at the height that you prefer. The 10x magnification is perfect for close-up work plucking fine hairs and applying eye makeup, and it is precisely what I needed to keep my eyebrows well-groomed and my eyeliner applied without incident.

According to Conair,

When your grooming or beauty tasks call for precision, a conventional mirror simply might not be enough to help you get the job done. The Beauty 360 Suction Cup Mirror Close Up Magnification can help you more easily see fine details of your face for better results. See Your Reflection Quickly Able to magnify your reflection by 10 times its normal size, the Beauty 360 Suction Cup Mirror Close Up Magnification lets you view details of your face that you ordinarily can't spot with the naked eye. You can use the mirror to help you apply cosmetics like eyeliner with extreme precision. Reach for it when you're shaving your face or removing facial hair. With the magnification mirror, tweezing brows is so much easier. Sticks Virtually Anywhere On the back of the Beauty 360 Suction Cup Mirror Close Up Magnification is a strong suction cup. This allows you to attach the mirror to any smooth surface. You can mount it on the wall of the shower, beside the sink or even on top of your regular bathroom mirror. The mirror can also be stuck to a desk or a car dashboard for on-the-go grooming. When you want to remove the mirror, just use your fingernail or a blunt object to break the seal. Perfect for Travel With its compact size and lightweight design, the Beauty 360 Suction Cup Mirror Close Up Magnification is perfect to pack in your cosmetics or travel bag for use on the go.

Overall Assessment: This was a good purchase, and I will leave this one in my travel bag so that I don't run the risk of forgetting it at home when I travel!

The CHANEL MIROIR DOUBLE FACETTES Mirror Duo is another one of the lovely birthday gifts that my beloved sister gave me this year. It is a really beautiful double mirror compact that is perfect for my makeup bag. The sturdy compact is 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" and comes with its own felt pouch that prevents scratching. The compact looks precisely like their eyeshadow and blush compacts, but it is more slim. It is a dense and solid plastic with the CHANEL double C logo on the front and nothing on the back. One side boasts a regular mirror and the other is a magnifying mirror. It is truly everything that I could possibly need in a mirror for my makeup bag.

According to CHANEL,

This sleek compact features a regular mirror on one side, and a magnifying mirror on the other — perfect for touch-ups. Ultra-slim and portable, the Mirror Duo is an elegant essential for every makeup bag.
