Mirror Mirror on the wall... No7 2014 Illuminated Make-up Mirror


Since every (evil queen) girl needs a mirror, after saying goodbye to my old make-up standing mirror I started to look around for a new one...
Thanks to my lovely friends Allie and Laura who got me a gift voucher for Boots UK I did not have to look long...

I came across this No7 2014 Illuminated Make-up Mirror, which is very similar in size and shape to my older one + it's got 360° lighting around the mirror *BONUS*. And it's currently HALF PRICE! (checked on 23/10/2014 at 20:00 on Boots website - they are still available if you fancy getting yourself one).

As they do not provide you with exact measurements, here they are:
  • 33 cm Tall
  • 19 cm Radius of the round cover
I decided to get this product mainly tempted by the illuminating light as I thought it will be a big advantage during the autumn and winter season when I have to do my make-up early in the morning when it's completely dark outside and the normal room light is just not enough.
Also comparing to the previous version of this product 2014 edition has a Dimmer switch to help you control the lighting to what you want. 
 
Here are pictures taken with a different light setup...

Maximum light setting
As you can see the light actually does the job and improves the visibility, I tested it in the complete darkness and YES you can apply your make-up without a fail (of course it's not an exact daylight simulation, so I would still have a look after the sunrise, whether your make-up might need some alterations ;)
 
I did not take any pictures of the magnifying option, since it's a standard x 5 available with most of mirrors.

In general I'm very pleased with it and would recommend buying especially for this special offer price ;) 
Thank you again Laura and Allie for a Lovely Gift Option :***
