Disorganised? Moi? I try not to be.
I had to pick up a small prezzie yesterday for a lady – someone in her 40s, who is very glam but I only had around a £10 budget set. I fount this mirror in Past Times. They have sort of gifts and items from ‘the past’:
This is for someone who I know has quite simple tastes as in, she likes black and that’s it – she’s a fan of the Estee Lauder compacts, but they are quite pricey:
Its sort of retro and has the Van Cleef and Arpels look about it. Quite heavy and sturdy too:
This is £12.50, you can buy it online here, but it might be in the sales after Christmas anyway!
I don’t personally carry a mirror on me, as I usually have one in one of my make up palettes anyway, and I don’t generally check my reflection in the day as all I see is smudging mascara and dry patches.
Do you carry a hand mirror? Do you have a special one? Or are you one of those annoying people that stops in the middle of a road to check your reflection in a mirror? Or do you use the back of a spoon?

Ooo I have these tiny button pocket mirrors from Etsy that are thin enough to slip in your jeans pocket and not take up loads of room. I gave them as gifts!

I don’t really carry a mirror even though I should. I have one that was given as a gift but I don’t keep it in my purse. I’m always checking myself using the driver seat mirror. I just need to remind myself to grab it and keep in my purse but I came be forgetful at times.

LMAO @ back of a spoon!
I am one who carries a mirror with me. You never know when a wondering eyelash or that bit of food stuck in your teeth that your ‘friend’ wont tell you about, will ruin your day.

I have a little mirror I keep in my cosmetics pouch – handy for the errant lashes or doing my makeup in the bathroom.

mirror Is a must in my makeup bag. I cant and dont wanna survive without one. I have this pretty black and while glittery compact double sided mirror. Its almost broken so this post reminded me buy a new one.

I wouldn’t be able to survive without a mirror! I need to check my teeth after eating and I keep checking my reflection when I’m wearing any makeup because I’m so afraid of smudging…. so I’m happy my current cell phone doubles as a mirror. =) It’s a little more discreet than pulling out a real mirror.
The one you got for your friend really looks quite sturdy and nice!
