THE FEATURES
One of the things that I lack a lot in my house is light, especially in my bedroom. It can be quite dark so I have been constantly complaining about this issue and of course, it affects the way I apply my makeup because I cannot see very well. Having a mirror with a light was something I had in mind to get for a long time.
The thing about this mirror is that it doesn’t only come with a light, it actually comes with 21 LED bulbs which you can light up or dim down depending on your needs in that particular moment. The light it produces is not too bright which is great for when you are applying your makeup. This for me is one of the best features.
The lights are adjustable and are activated by a one-touch action. The power button is very soft to press. One long push adjusts different lightings to help you do your makeup in varying lighting areas. This is very useful.
The lights are located on the main mirror in the centre and the lights have a dual power supply, so they can be powered by using 4 x AAA batteries or by a USB cable. This is great when you are on the go. USB travel chargers are popular nowadays so having the option to plug the USB cable into your travel charger wherever you are is a massive help!
It comes in two parts: the stand (base) and the main mirror (top). You only need to click the mirror into the stand and that will put them together and it will be ready to use.
This mirror adopts eco-friendly thickened ABS and glass materials to ensure it is safe, looks great and importantly, it is lightweight. It is so easy to carry around. It honestly doesn’t weight anything. On the back of the mirror, you will find the on/off switch and the area to plug in your USB cable too.
The mirror is fully rotatable, this means that it rotates 180 degrees and can be fixed at any position, so this makeup mirror gives you different view angles for the best makeup.
The mirror has two side mirrors that swing out in a tri-fold function which makes it even bigger and better to see your full profile. When you open the mirror you will notice it has 4 mirrors in total. So you have the central mirror and two side mirrors. The central mirror and the right mirror have a regular mirror which is great for doing your makeup or your hair.
The left side mirror is split into two sections which have a 2x and 3x magnification spot mirror. The one on the top left has 2 times magnification and the one on the bottom left has 3 times magnification which is great for applying a detailed eyeliner or when you are tweezing your eyebrows. It can also be great for putting on your lipstick, contact lenses, powder or even for men it could be great for shaving.
So as you can see this mirror has all the features you need to make your make up spotless. It could be a great gift for your loved one or for treating yourself!

MY THOUGHTS
I really love this mirror. It has definitely changed the way I apply my makeup. It is great that it comes with LED lights and that some parts of the mirror have x2 and x3 magnification spots. This is perfect for me. It is great that you can turn on the lights with batteries or by using a travel charger which makes it helpful when travelling. This is particularly useful given how compact and foldable the mirror is.
Overall, this mirror is perfect for me! It has all I need to apply my makeup. I am so happy and I highly recommend it!

love this mirror, you can see the sides of your head when you are trying to create a look, great for work when you want to look polished and for a night out when you want to see your hair and make-up from different angles.
Yes, I have a makeup mirror. My two girls would love this mirror for their room as it looks like a pop star’s mirror!
Yes it does! 🙂 x
When you need a clearer and brighter view to do your make up and hair, the Hamswan Mirror is the perfect solution.
my daughter would love this mirror amazing giveaway
I do have a makeup mirror and I think this mirror is great. I love its features. I’d like to get one too.
Think this mirror is amazing, the different angles and lights, at the moment i have to share my husbands shaving mirror, which i have to say hes not crazy about, love it
I wear make up everyday and find it hard to sit at my desk as the light just doesnt reflect well. I love that this mirror can be used anywhere and great for travelling as it folds up. The lights are a bonus and i love that it rotates so you can have it at that awkward angle of applying mascara haha!
I love that it can be folded away. It would stop m cat getting his grubby paws all over it!

I only have a small make up mirror. I love this one with the lights around it, it’s fabulous.
I love this mirror, very handy. Like you, it is still dark when I do my face in the mornings and I can’t really see what I am doing (energy saving light bulbs 🙁 ). This would be amazing 🙂
Yes i do have a mirror but its so dark and dingy, this is just the ticket…..
I have one I inherited from my mum but it is smashed on one side so a new one would be brilliant!
Used to have one ! Disappeared to the girls room – would be lovely to have one myself
I don’t but this one looks great – would love this!
I don’t have a make-up mirror at the moment but I’d love to win this one. It will help me to do my makeup in a better light so it’ll be much neater (the magnification spots will really help with blending!)
I have a makeup mirror but it’s not as good as this one!
Entering for my wife she would love this mirror
This might help me with blending in my foundtion better. Very pretty too xx
Would love to win
my daughter would love this mirror
Yes I have a makeup mirror but I’d love this one as it looks far better than mine. It has far more light and strength than mine.
No I don’t have a make up mirror. I usually just use the bathroom mirror. Love to win for myself
I use the bathroom mirror and it’s rubbish. This looks perfect
I love the fact that it lights up making it so much easier for the darker months.The mirror I currently use is the bathroom mirror which I unhook from the wall each morning and take to my bedroom,then put it back in the bathroom.This type of mirror would save a lot of time and be ideal.I’d definitely want to get this mirror it looks great.
I currently have a tiny wooden mirror I have to wedge to do my make up so a new mirror is definelty on my wish list
Looks like a fab mirror. I like the fact that it can tilt and the extra lighting is a great feature too.
Would absolutely love this mirror, we’ve got 4 mirrors in the house, but the light is bad! you can’t get a true refelection to see what your putting on or doing your hair.
I don’t have one. this mirror looks amazing.
I would love this mirror with the lights, it can be difficult to find a really good mirror, as i wear glasses I need one that is nice and clear too
I have a small mirror with no lights so would love this one as bigger and the lights

This mirror looks fantastic!! I would love one. I only have a tiny little compact make up mirror
its a mirror, but one out of our living room, but its a case of putting it in the right light in the bedroom so i can properly. This mirror looks fantastic though!
I used to have a makeup mirror with lights, until I dropped it! Such a nightmare trying to do makeup in the winter when its dark, would love a new mirror like this!
We’re in need of a good mirror it’s hard to find one without wasting money This looks good though
I don’t have a make up mirror but this mirror looks great which now makes me want my own make up mirror.

What do you think of this mirror? It looks good
Do you like its features?I like the lights
Would you like to get one too?yes, I would
I love the look of this mirror! i think it would work better than my current light up mirror which is round, as it’s got a larger mirror surface
I love this and desperately need a light up mirror as my dressing table sits in a darker area due to lack of space in my room so this would be ideal
I do not have a make-up mirror. We have some mirror tiles in the en-suite (last owners choice) which are too high for me to see into without being on my tip-toes. Or I have a small mirror which I cannot see all my face in at once. Bit hit & miss really.
i love the idea of this mirror, i currently have my own on the back of my door although the light is soo poor so id love this
I’d love to win for my wife, she needs one!
Bathroom light so poor i would love a makeup mirror like this
Great mirror!
I have a make-up mirror with a light and a small magnifying mirror stuck to it which is invaluable for eyebrows etc. You really need good light as well as magnification for a great mirror. I love the fact that this one is portable, s great for when visiting with friends and family
This mirror is perfect! Would look amazing on my vanity
Love this mirror, so much better than the one I have in the bathroom
I try not to look in a mirror much now I might find a few more wrinkles, great for poser grandaughter though
