Travel Makeup Mirror
From LoveToKnow Makeup
Investing in a travel makeup mirror is a great idea for anyone who is constantly on-the-go.
About Travel Makeup Mirrors
You spend more time in a vehicle than in front of your mirror. You know your office better than your house. Your idea of makeup application is a slick of lip balm and a dusting of powder. There's nothing wrong with any of these things, of course, but most women would admit to a longing for some indulgence every now and then. Make the dream a reality by investing in a travel makeup mirror.
These portable mirrors are as efficient as they are small. In other words, don't let the diminutive size deceive you. You'll reap the beauty benefits of this makeup accessory no matter where you take it.
Types of Travel Mirrors
There is an astounding variety of travel mirrors available. Though it would seem that many of these are not easily transportable, these designs are created with convenience in mind.
Compact Travel Mirrors
Resembling a powder cosmetic compact, these mirrors are typically housed in thick plastic casing to protect the mirror from breakage. They fit perfectly into purses, travel bags and front pockets. They even slip comfortably into car glove compartments – yes, cars have mirrors, but they aren't magnified! Many compact travel makeup mirrors are magnified in great strength, allowing the user to focus on specific facial features one at a time.
Standing Travel Mirror
Don't let the name fool you. While you may not be able to use this in a car or plane, you can place it comfortably on your desk. It's usually just the right size for an office (the standard size measures in at around a foot tall), and it features a flexible arm to allow for greater visibility. Providing magnification that is both distortion-free and optically correct (a must-have mirror feature), the standing travel mirror will ensure satisfaction for anyone who appreciates a sharp, clear image.
Suction Travel Mirror
If you're headed on a business trip and hate the idea of lugging around that heavy makeup mirror in addition to all of your clothes and accessories, you'll definitely benefit from a suction travel makeup mirror.
This tool is ideal for anyone who appreciates the benefits of a regular magnifying makeup mirror. It is at its best when it's optically correct. The mirror extends comfortably from its post on a bathroom mirror, and it typically features a flexible arm which ensures greater visibility. Many suction mirrors include two bases: one for home use and another for travel.
Telescoping Suction Travel Mirror
It sounds a mite more complex, but the concept behind this innovative travel makeup mirror is the same as that of any other magnifying mirror. This is ideal for use in a bathroom shower stall. It is typically fog-resistant and unbreakable, and its suctioned base attaches comfortably to any tile (or glass) surface. Featuring a lengthy telescoping arm, these mirrors offer convenience to both men and women. Men will appreciate their magnification powers since they are especially helpful to men who use wet/dry shavers in the shower.
