Make up mirror with lighting

5 replies

My dressing table is in a dark corner of my bedroom and really can't be moved so I'm looking for a make up mirror with really good lighting which I can plug in. Does anyone have any suggestions please?

I got one from Boots that was made by Revlon. It really made a difference. But that was about 20 years ago! I cracked the mirror and tried to replace with a battery operated one; because it was cheaper and the mirror on the other had cracked because it fell off my dressing table due to the wire being pulled. But the battery one was a poor substitute as it was only bright enough for a short time, the battery replacements were expensive as well.

So my knowledge of mirrors on sale now is poor. There are plenty on amazon but I can’t vouch for any of them. But they are definitely a good purchase if you can find a good one.

I bought one recently from boots for about £30 (on offer) which was their own brand.

It’s really dim and runs out of battery quickly, so not recommended. Was following this thread in the hope of getting an idea too!

Sorry OP, not very helpful!

Simplehuman - absolute game changer but they’re not cheap. I couldn’t be without mine though, I’d replace it over most things I own!

Another vote for Simplehuman!
