I absolutely love my mirror! It is a little smaller than I had hoped but it still works perfect for putting on my makeup. There's a little place on the base that holds my tweezers and small essentials - I love it! I don't really use the circle "up close" (magnifying) mirror just because I don't really need it and it messes with my eyes. I do think it is a little overpriced just by what it's made from. Its battery operated too.
