I searched the forums and didn't come up with very recent posts ?  The hinge broke on my ancient I believe Clairol one that has served me well. I need magnification  and my old one had the regular on the flip side.

I have checked out a few b&m stores but haven't seen much quality. They are mostly poor quality plastic. I saw one on HSN this a.m. but it is small.

@okaywitheasypay Are you looking for one that will sit on a counter/vanity or one that gets mounted to the wall?

I bought this one from Lowe's a few years ago and mounted it myself.  It's basic, no lighting, but I don't need it, regular magnification on one side and 5X on the other, which I think is plenty for my situation.

Mine doesn't even have the name on it, but whatever they sell at BB&B. 

I have 2 of them and love them.  One is oval and one is round.  They are lighted, but I never plug them in as it's sunny and bright where I put on my makeup.  In fact, I cut the cord off of one.

I know most people say to stay away from magnifying mirrors, but I think the opposite.  I love to be able to see close up of my skin.  That may change with age though!

Try BB&B.    I bought mine years ago on sale at Nordstroms and love it .... plain on one side and a 10x magnification on the other.

I think Floxite is one of the best distortion-free mirrors.

@henderson  Do you have one?  I was thinking about getting the travel version.

I just replaced mine last month with a new Conair from BBB.  I really wanted the Floxide mirror but wanted to stick to my budget. I looked on line and really didn't see much and the reviews were mixed. I was glad that I went to the store because the difference in quality was amazing. Some are plastic or metal or some composite and some require special bulbs. Who knew?  Good Luck with your search.

I bought the Floxite travel mirror V31363 from Q years ago when it was a OTO. It folds flat for easy travel. It has a 10x on 1 side & a 1 x on the other side. Now Q sells V32466  which only has a 5x mirror.

I also had the smaller one like this. I don't recommend it. The arm that bends to close it has wiring in it for the lights that kept getting a kink & would not work. DH took it apart to fix it but the wire was too short to twist it back together.
