This is a great travel mirror! Mount with suction cups on a smooth surface or permanently attach anywhere with magnetic metal base provided for hands free use. Can also be mounted directly on to a metal locker by magnet inside housing. When it is mounted on the base, it tilts for easy viewing. You may take it off the base and use as a hand held mirror as well. The acrylic rim is a focusing lens. It brings the light from behind the mirror onto the face. It contains bright LED lights and works on batteries which are included. This mirror is perfect for makeup application, inserting contact lenses, plucking eyebrows, shaving, and all other facial grooming. It is so lightweight you can take it anywhere! Comes with a plush travel pouch.
