Bathroom Mirror

Recently in the morning as I stand at the sink staring at the medicine cabinet mirror, I see nothing.    I put my makeup on hoping my eyebrows end up in an approximation of the general area that eyebrows belong.   Eyeliner ... is it near the edge of my eye lid?

I decided I needed an industrial strength mirror.   I purchased a Frack Ikea extendable one, and I just finished putting it up.

WOW ... 10x closer!!!! ... all that expensive makeup will now land in the proper place ... imagine how lovely I am going to look now.

Only thing is .... was that hair always there???

    HAHA, the downside to magnifying mirrors for sure! I need one of these, too. I think they are so cool looking in addition to being very useful.

    Hi Sharon, just found your blog. I also have a similar mirror and as I have gotten older I have a heck of a time putting makeup on..I can't get close enough to the regular mirror to see where I am putting the makeup! And sometimes I will turn it over to the ultra magnifying, but most times that scares me too much!

    This post made me laugh. I bought my mother one of these mirrors - she was in shock after using it for the first time. Her comment - "It's like putting make-up on a monkey". Leigh
