One of the main brands of makeup mirrors available today is the luxor makeup mirror. While not one of the major brands, they still offer a nice range of mirrors at the lower end of the price range that you may be very interested in.
Luxor mirrors are smaller mirrors, and they have a temporary sort of look about them. Many of them seem to be ideal for traveling since they are small enough to toss in a bag, and made out of cheaper materials like plastics and things of that nature so that you aren’t worried about damaging them as you would be a more expensive brushed nickel or chrome mirror.
Today I’m going to discuss several models that you have to choose from and discuss their features as well as what you can expect to pay.
Luxor 2-in-1 Magnifying Mirror and Cosmetic Organizer at only $15, this mirror is a real steal. It has a regular 5.5 inch diameter mirror on one side and a 10X magnifying mirror on the other. It comes with a clear acrylic base and frame. What is unique about this mirror is that it comes with its own cosmetic tray which is quite handy in a number of circumstances. The entire thing measures roughly 8 inches tall and is about 7 inches wide including the stand.
LUXOR Professional Power-Mag 5X Magnifying Shaving Mirror (Model: 1826) this little mirror packs quite a punch, and at only seven dollars you simply can’t go wrong! It comes with the industry standard 5X magnification which many women prefer over higher magnifications such as 8X or 10X (which some women find to be too much magnification). This little guy won’t take up much room on your counter top. It comes with thin steel looking legs that are very unobtrusive.
Power-Mag 10X Magnifying Mirror at $18 this mirror is one of the more expensive ones that Luxor produces. It has a 10X magnification as well as a 1X magnification and comes with a stand that snaps off allowing you to hang the mirror on the wall if you prefer. The frame is clear acrylic and very durable which may make it a nice travel mirror. This is a smaller mirror at around 5 to 6 inches in diameter so be aware of that.
10x Mirror/Cosmetic Organizer at only $14 this is a very cute little mirror. It has a magnifying zoom that allows you to see even the smallest details while you apply your makeup or wash your face. This mirror allows you to choose from single-sided or double-sided and is both suction backed as well as containing its own stand. It’s also small enough to hold in your hand which makes it a good mirror to keep in your purse, to use on the go. It has 10X magnification and comes with its own cosmetic organizer.
Luxor #1838 Power-Mag 5X Lighted Battery Operated this mirror runs around $20 and is what you would think of when you think of a standard chrome solid makeup mirror which makes it different than many other Luxor mirrors which have a more temporary feel to them. It has 5X magnification as well as 1X magnification and is Halo lighted and battery operated. At this price you may be better off upgrading to a lower end Conair model that offers more features at around the same price.
As I’ve said before, a luxor makeup mirror is more of a travel mirror or temporary backup mirror. You probably won’t use them as your main makeup mirror but they’re good to stick in a spare bathroom or on a dresser in a guest room or bring them along when you travel.
