Magnifying mirrors

Do you use one? I put mine away for a while and recently took it back out. Lordy, I shouldn’t have looked in it, 😆.

@Snoopp Yes, sometimes it is scary! I use mine every day...I cannot see to put my eye make up on with out using the magnified side

I use a small 15X. That way I can see bats in the cave...LOL!

Definitely. I've had a 20X swing-arm mirror attached to my bathroom wall for many years. Couldn't be without it. Even have a travel-sized magnifying mirror that I keep in my suitcase.

@tototwo

Me, too -- I use a 15x and keep the travel size in my suitcase!

I have to use one! Otherwise I can't see to apply a darn thing to my face. I really hate it. Everything looks so horrible magnified, and then when I look in the regular mirror, I know I am not seeing things how they really look. It's hard to get a true picture of what the reality is!

I tweeze my stray eyebrow hair every day so I don't look like Groucho Marx and yes, I use a 10x mag mirror. I wouldn't be without one.

Use one that is regular on one size and 15x on the other. I want to see what everyone else is looking at all day long. Decades ago I had a magnified, lighted make-up mirror. Remember those? My little girl loved it more than I did.

@SilleeMee Where did you find 15X? I have never seen one, only 10X.

@Carmie Same here, everyday. I told my kids if I end up in a nursing home they have to come and take care of my stray hairs.

So hard to un-see the horror.

I borrowed my daughters the other day. UGH! I shouldn't have.

The 15X I have is this one:

It's small (4 inches in diameter) and not made to see your entire face but good for spot checks. I like the suction cups on the back so I can attach it to a window or any other kind of mirror.

I found it on ebay for less.

I've always used one. Couldn't be without.

Kabella — Sun, 08 Dec 2019 16:51:07 GMT

Yes, I have to have one to pluck my eyebrows ugh! It a lighted double sided 10x. I picked it years ago at BB&Beyond. I only take it out when I have to pluck yuck! I also have a small fold up when I travel.

@Still Raining your too funny lol! Same thing with reading glasses!

Re: Magnifying mirrors

willdob3 — Sun, 08 Dec 2019 18:29:56 GMT

@Snoopp

Yes. I use a 5x magnifying mirror every day. 10 is too much for me but 5 is just right.

Re: Magnifying mirrors

Only for 'maintenance': tweezing my eyebrows, trimming my nose hairs, and double-checking how well I shaved my facial hair.

Re: Magnifying mirrors

Katcat1 — Sun, 08 Dec 2019 19:58:30 GMT

@Snoopp After you look in the magnifying mirror you should then look in a regular mirror to see how you look to the world. I like magnifying mirrors for tweezing eyebrows.

Upgraded to a 7x LED wall mounted swing out mirror....from my previous 5X w/o any lights and WOW it's great....love it! I can see so much better to do my eye make up, brows and for any stray hairs! Getting a lighted one was the best purchase I made this yr!

I do have a tiny size (4") mirror that is 10X and that I use to check for any missed hairs just in case...but it's kinda scary.

Thank goodness NOBODY on the planet but me ever gets that close to my face LOL!
