Let me get into the pros of this mirror.
It has a heavy and sturdy metal base, other standing mirrors I have tried do not feel as sturdy.
I love the telescopic stand. I normally have to lean over awkwardly to do my makeup or put my mirror on a stack of boxes to get it to eye level.
The 5x magnification mirror. I love this little mirror, I love that it is magnetic so I will not be able to misplace it. My other mirror that came with something similar, attached with suction cups and I have no idea where it has gone. 

The cons:
Only one really, there is no cooling fan. My other (and far inferior) makeup mirror's main draw is that it has a fan I can use while getting ready.
