I’ve got a wonderful new addition to my hair and make-up routine. Most mornings it’s a quick splash of colour on the cheeks and a wisp of mascara to make me look as alive as possible for the day ahead. For nights out it’s an attempt at the full works. However, I tend to prop my mirror on the window sill and hope for the best. Not really the way to make the most out of glamming myself up.
So, I am delighted to be able to show you my new fabulous mirror that is certainly helping to shed a little more light on getting myself together.
The lovely people at Hamswan sent me one of their new LED Light cosmetic mirrors to try out. The timing fits in perfectly with my bedroom makeover which is happening in the myrealfairy household. Two years of the same cream wallpaper and I’m finally ready to add some glamour to my room and go over the top with some bling!
The mirror comes in two parts and you can just press the base into the mirror to make the stand. Nice and easy to do, clicks into place and it’s done.
The mirror has two doors which close on itself which helps with keeping it clean and little finger prints off it. It also looks very sleek and modern which is going to gel well with my new bedroom theme.
When you open it up is when the action really starts. It’s got 21 led lights around the centre mirror which makes it feel like a movie star mirror and lights up the dingiest of days. The lights are lovely and bright and makes it easy to put your make up on even if it’s dark out or you’re in a poorly lit room. It’s pretty flattering on the skin too….bonus!
To power the lights you can either use 4 AAA batteries which are placed in the back or you can use the USB lead which is included with the mirror. This makes it ideal to use if you are travelling, you can unclip it, fold it down and with the USB lead, use it anywhere.
The mirror has a 180 degree rotation so it can be fixed at any position to give you the perfect viewing angle. The lights can be switched by lightly touching the button on the front of the mirror.
In addition, there are 3 different strengths of mirror; x1 x2 and x3. The x2 and x3 are perfect for putting on fake eyelashes which I’m normally pretty useless at. This helped loads! It’s also great for eyebrows and generally giving the skin a good check out.

There are no affiliated links in this post. If you like the mirror then that’s great. I was given a mirror for the purpose of this review and all of the views are mine and I love the mirror! You can check out the action camera review here to see more of the fab range of products.
Ah wow! Like a little celebrity dressing room replica. Fair price too.
Brilliant idea! I have a lovely vintage style mirror which looks great but to be honest it’s bloody useless! The lighting in our bedroom is shocking so in the corner where my mirror lives is always dark that it’s pretty much impossible to actually see anything. Great review 🙂
Thanks so much for linking up at #KCACOLS. Hope you come back again next Sunday
Thanks and you’re right, this mirror is brilliant for dark corners, the magnifying one is pretty darn good too. X
The mirror looks fab! I have a mirror on my dressing table which is located in the hall. I usually try and get ready when Dex is having his morning nap which means his door is closed and no light comes into the hall!! A LED mirror would certainly help with that!

I have a compact LED mirror and I love it. This would look great on my dressing table.

This looks ace, I’m always trying to mine in the dark and sometimes myself in the rear view mirror – yikes! #blogstravaganza
?
Ooh I had heard about these and have been meaning to look into them! This looks fab! Thanks so much for sharing on #TriumphantTales 🙂
This sounds like a fab mirror! I have a mirrored wardrobe which has pretty decent lighting so I use that for my full face of make up on the rare nights i go out!
Thanks for linking up and sharing with #TriumphantTales
This looks great, I really need something like this! Our house is so dark that I always end up doing my makeup completely wrong, thankfully I don’t usually put enough on rather than too much! Thanks so much for linking up to #Blogstravaganza, hope to see you again next week xx
This looks great. I have a mirror stuck to the door of a cabinet in my wall. As I’m really short sighted I need to be literally standing right on top of the mirror! I love the lights on this and it looks great to pack away and take with you overnight somewhere doesn’t it! kcacols
Yeah it’s a fab mirror, glad you like it too x
Such a lovely idea – perfect for whacking in the suitcase for travelling too. Reminds me of dressing room lightbulbs back stage! #TriumphantTales
I don’t wear makeup but appreciate the star quality this has for busy mums! #bestandworst
