Pebble Grey LED Make-Up Mirror

In my dream home where I have my dressing room with a walk-in wardrobe and a Alex drawers as far as the eye can see, I also want a vanity unit with my very own Hollywood Mirror with Lights, until then, it is a dream on my Pinterest board.  When contacted by the lovely Emma from Pebble Grey about reviewing a compact LED Cosmetic Mirror, I literally jumped at the chance.  Trying to do my make-up in a morning when it is still dark has been a total nightmare, I either wait until I get to work or do what little damage I can so I don't leave the house looking totally ridiculous and orange.

When the package arrived I was blown away by how stunning and beautiful the packaging is even before I had seen the mirror.  Nestled inside this beautiful box which has the pebble grey logo clearly visible, is a black velvet bag, again with the pebble grey logo clearly visible. Inside that bag is this LED Cosmetic Mirror:

As you can see, this is every bit as lovely as you would be expecting to see given the introduction with such beautiful packaging.  In a pebble grey colour is the actual mirror and once opened there are 6 LED lights on the top mirror which make using the bottom mirror an absolute breeze, even the trickiest of jobs like plucking those unruly eyebrows is straightforward, as is applying your make-up. It is also the perfect size for sitting in the palm of your hand, even for someone like me who has small hands.

What I also love about this mirror is that because it comes with an accompanying velvet bag to keep it safe, I can carry it around in my handbag or in my make-up bag and because it is so light, it doesn't weigh your bag down.

For more information or to purchase one of these mirrors, you can find everything you need to know on the main website.
