Has anyone seen pressed powder compacts with mirrors about?

Those little plastic compacts with a round cake of powder and a mirror in the lid. They used to be a standard thing, but now I can't find one anywhere (I did find one online, but it was a very very expensive brand, and a stupid price). Now all the pressed powder is in a container with a screw-top or lift-off lid, and no mirror. I don't understand why. What use is that when you're out and about and want to touch up your make-up? I really want a new one because my old one is nearly worn out. I'm a desperate woman.

I could go back to a vintage compact for loose powder, but they're a faff and they weigh more.

The Charlotte Tilbury compact is gold and looks beautiful

Just had a Google. Yeah it's pretty!
