Fancii Mila Compact Mirror Review

justashopper · ‎03-21-2010

Hi Beauties

One thing I have been in search of is a mirror compact with a light. I know QVC has some but for whatever reason didn't like any of them. And I think at retail stores, they are hard to find. I did buy a cheap one, from Burlington (which is like a TJ Maxx. Lots of overstock products) but the light was so bright! I couldn't see past it. LOL

I saw the Fancii on Instagram and bought the white, pictured below. It was $54 with tax and shipping (includes a $6 off code for email sign up.) shipping was fast, only a couple days.

It is 10x on one side, with the light & no magnification on the other. The light brightness can be dimmed or turned completely off, which I really like. It charges fully in about an hour. I am happy with it. 10x might be more than I wanted. 5x seems good enough, but it's ok.

Anyone else have or on the fence about it?

Edited to add: I just saw QVC sells it. item #V121135

Hmmm . . . I said, why is this thing so expensive? The Lithium Ion battery that makes it rechargeable? Very appealing. But the size? To me a compact is for your handbag or for traveling. I think I might be interested in a larger size for the bathroom. My only battery powered mirror lasted for only a couple weeks and the lighting was insufficient.

My thoughts, too, @depglass. That's a lot of $$ for this kind of thing.

First, I have to tell you that everytime I see your name I first see the word "grasshopper" LOL.

I LOVE that mirror but I'm trying to figure out if I need it or not. I have a nice rechargeable and dimmable one that straps onto my visor in the car and that's where I check my makeup before I go in somewhere. I can reapply lipgloss after a meal out, at the table (I know it's considered uncouth) without a mirror. Give me awhile and I bet I can figure out a reason I need it! Price seems a bit steep tho. OK, I found a reason to buy it. Not the same brand. Lighted on both sides (can't see yours so I don't know if both sides are lighted). $26 with tax. Thank you!

Where did you buy your Kedsum? I am going to Ulta today, so I'm curious if you found it there?
