I have no style inspiration. I like cute, girlie things but I’m such of a tom boy that I usually end up wearing cool, relaxed pieces that I pick up in thriftshops.
Lisa Brown says
I like Maddie Claire hand bags
Tiff says
My favourite Shakespearean play…SO MANY. I guess I’ll go with As You Like It, although Hamlet has a great place in my heart as well.

I am planning on having a great day – thank you! I also got my haircut this week and am getting used to the new style and shape but I like it, it’s just a work in progress.
Katherine says
I use a magnified lighted mirror to apply my makeup… it makes everything easier to see! 🙂
Elena says
I just use the plain old bathroom mirror to do my makeup. And when I get ready in the morning and have to share the bathroom with my bf sometimes I use this cheap long mirror we bought awhile back.
Julia Mumme says
No I dont have a special mirror only the one stuck to my makeup drawer but I have poor lighting in the room and the mirror is round so I am still wondering how to achieve proper lighting. Its very hard to see blush in the mirror sometimes and when I’m out the door and see me in windows or something I am shocked how intense the colour got 😀
GB says
I moved into my current house five years ago 🙂
Carla says
I’m in Spain visiting my parents and this morning I just made a visit to Sephora (we don’t have one where I live now) and… well, you know. My wallet is hurt now. But I’m a happy panda. 😀

Glad it’s the weekend!
Sonia says
My favourite Shakespearean play has to be Hamlet!

I have a great double sided, magnified lit up mirror from Costco and I love it. I couldn’t apply mascara using a different mirror. And yes, I do remember my address from 5 years ago, it was my Polish address but I lived there for 20+ years so I don’t think I will ever forget it.
kayla p says
I want my comment to be about anxiety because its something that lately has been consuming my life and i want everyone out there to know that youre not alone and you can so easily reach out to someone for help. i made the choice to start therapy and i feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulder. so dont be afraid to make that phone call.
Valentina says

Colleen Boudreau says
I’m exhausted today!
Alexandra says
I had just moved to Sweden 5 years ago from South Africa. Very exciting times! I’ve moved around the country a lot since, so the addresses are starting to meld together in my memory. I started wondering the other day if there may be a cause to write down my address history for any future purpose. Do you have any thoughts on it?

Oh well. Marc Jacobs is my love LOVE! I wish I could afford to jam pack my wardrobe and accessories with his pieces. It’s like he knows me. hahah.
Hope you had a lovely run!
Vanessa says
I have such an over-the-top obsession with makeup – I’ve spent a significantly large portion of my most recent pay cheque on orders from MAC, Sephora and my local Shoppers Beauty Boutique!
It’s blogs like this that fuel my obsession… and I wouldn’t have it any other way 🙂
Jennifer R. says
I hope I win! I want to buy some new makeup for spring!
Icequeen81 says
My favorite play is Hamlet of Shakespeare.
I don’t have a specific person as Icon, but I sure love the style of the forties sends I was little girl. I love their make up
matte lips in a plum , red-brown or wine shade, a very retro way subtle , and skin colored eye-shadow. and for sure I love the hair do

I love Shakespeare! I read a lot of the plays in high school. They are all very interesting. The Merchant Of Venice, Much Ado About Nothing, King Lear.. etc.

Amy says
Just ran 4 miles outside! Got to enjoy it before the snow comes tomorrow here 🙁
Marisa says
I have to use a regular mirror to do makeup. When I use a magnified one I get freaked out by the enlarged pores and such and just can’t focus.
Cindy says
My favorite style icon? Gwen Stefani. I always *loved* her red lipstick and cat eye look!
Deborah says
Aw, thank you! Hope it’s awesome for you, too. 😀
Sydney says
5 years ago I was moving out of my dinky apartment and in with my (now) husband.. crazy to think that was 5 years ago! Time flies when you are in love.
Krista says
OMG. Those eyeshadows. LOVE that pic! Just made it my iPad background 🙂
Nicole says
Lately I have been straightening my semi curly hair and then using dry shampoo for a few days so I don’t fry my hair. It seems to be working. I have also been trying to curb my indie nail polish obsession, although that’s not working out too well. Oh well, a girl can never have too much nail polish in my opinion. And last but not least, going through all my unused beauty products, from facial cleansers to makeup and throwing them away because they were just taking up space and cluttering up my shelves and drawers. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
sweeks1980 says
I got a hair glaze for the first time last week, and while it doesn’t seem to have made a difference in terms of color, it seems to have done a great job making my hair soft.

Susan T. says
I am so overdue for a haircut! I think I’m going to chop a lot of it off when I finally get that appointment!

Michelle-addicted to beauty since 1999 says

Jennifer M-K says
Have you been doing anything different with your hair? – Yes…I actually just had it layered and straightened! I almost always wear it curly because I just don’t have the patience to deal with blowdrying and flatironing my hair in the morning so my coworkers were a bit stunned when I showed up with straight hair for a change 🙂

Ooooh so many eye shadows! I want to swatch them all LOL.

Janis G says
ooooh I hope I win! I’m so getting hooked on visiting Sephora at least once a week!
Jessica says
Long time lurker, first time poster. Love the blog. Karen has definitely changed the way I shop for makeup products. I feel so empowered in Ulta and Sephora with the blog at my fingertips. On a recent trip to Walgreens, I saw sale tags for Milani products. I immediately went to the blog to get recommendations for the Milani lip glosses. Swatches galore! I stood in the aisle for about 10 minutes reading and scrolling. Finally, purchased some glosses. Karen was so right abut the cream glosses. I have been wearing Bare Secret like it is going out of style! Thanks so much!!!
Amy says
I love brownies
Kelsie Cook says
I don’t have a handheld mirror specifically for applying makeup; however, a good one is definitely on my list of things to get! I’m tempted to pick up a case of TF’s bronzer just for the large mirror that comes in that lovely, golden compact.

Marie S says
Hey Karen! Awesome giveaway and very, very awesome blog! Ok, you wanted comments, so here goes: to answer one of your proposed questions: I do have a specific mirror for makeup – and the lighting is complete horse s**t! IDK why I use it. I really don’t. Now for a random comment: I just discovered my puppy is highly afraid of the vacuum cleaner. Like, I even move it (turned off) and she pee’s. Which doesn’t work out too well, since she likes to shred paper in the living room, on the carpet. Guest I’ll be spending my Saturday night sweeping and/or tweezering paper pieces off my carpet…

Kylie says
My favorite Shakespeare play is A Midsummer Night’s Dream, for sure!
Today I made the beauty purchase of Stila’s One Step Correct. I’m super excited to see how it’ll work, as I was pretty disappointed with Smashbox’s Photo Finish primer. My next planned purchases are Too Faced Size Queen Mascara and MUFE HD Invisible Cover Foundation. I would have purchased them today, but I hit some other mall stores pretty hard and just couldn’t! Next time 😉
Mardi says
I saw Twelfth Night at the Belasco on Broadway when I was in NYC last year and loved it. They were doing it in rep with Richard the Third so we went and saw that too. Very different but just as great.

Hi karen, hope you are having a great weekend. The mirror I use for makeup is the NYX Butt Naked Eyes. I don’t always use the shadows (although I really like them!) but I ALWAYS use the mirror.

Macbeth has been my favourite play since about 8th grade and I had to write a rap about it to the tune of the Fresh Prince theme in high school. Possibly one of the most embarrassing moments of my life!

Dominique F says
So I’ve been trying to grow out my hair (I wanna get it to my waist!) but I can never seem to be able to. Once it gets around half-way down my back I have to trim off ~4 inches because of all the split ends 🙁 And the vicious cycle just keeps repeating! I’m trying to keep my hair routine to a minimum to keep from damaging it further but I have sneaking suspicion I might have to settle for shoulder-length hair
Jennifer says
I have a double sided magnified mirror that I got it at fredmeyers but I always use my hellokitty from sephora

Wendy@BlushandBarbells says
I’ve been trying to grow out my bangs, so I’m doing this weird side-braid thing. It wouldn’t be so weird if I could actually french braid, but it will have to do.
Lisa says
I finally got a new haircut, but now I really want to lighten my hair too. Oh well
BrooklynShoeBabe says
My current fashion icon is Katherine Hepburn.
Ru says
I hate getting my hair cut but it’s waaay overdue and the only thing that can be done with this mop is a ponytail.
Chelsea H. says
“Have you been doing anything different with your hair?”
Yes! My hair was badly damaged after dying it dark brown and then taking it back to my natural light blonde color. The ends were breaking off and large clumps of hair kept falling out. So two days ago, I went and got a haircut. My hairdresser cut off all the damaged hair. I actually hadn’t asked to have it so short – I wanted it to touch my shoulders. Instead it is right under my chin! I know it was necessary to cut it but I’m still mourning the loss of my long hair despite the damage 🙁
Priya says
I recently cut of all my hair into a short bob. Its been a struggle figuring out how to style it, but I’m totally in love with it!
Erica says
Lived in the same place over 15 years. I have a lighted double sided mirror that magnifies on the opposite side. I’m as blind as 3 bats, so I need the magnified side to apply my eyeliner on my lids.

Kate Middleton
Do you have a mirror that you use specifically for applying makeup?
A rialto magnification mirror
Do you remember the address of wherever you were living five years ago?
Yes it was the home I was raised in for the first 18 years of my life in Nebraska. I moved away 6 years ago and last month I found out it caught on fire. Thankfully no humans were hurt. It’s amazing how even years later you can have an attachment to something you no longer own.
vani balan says
i think iam the last girl who posting comment here.
i read all the comments above and i really love all the comments you all have posted here.
iam very proud to say that iam an artist. the friend of aesthetics… and most of the time iam spending my time with art. the creation of beauty is an art.
iam really impressive to this blog. because of the reason that the blog have the deep flow through the aesthetic view. that’s why i made this blog as book mark everyday i wish to move my gaze through the blog . actually iam not doing the same interest in my Facebook account.
The purpose of art is washing the dust of
daily life off our souls. and the make up and finishing for improve the beauty of our external appearances.
this also an art…
A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament. and the beautician also an great artist of external skin art.
iam a student of art and multimedia. but i love to be a great writer like Pablo Neruda. Shakespeare handled most of the serious topics but Neruda is about the romantic author.
all over the world i respects the beautiful things .. so right now you may thinking then what about ugly things.? the reality is through my eyes always everything have beauty. because iam an artist too more than a student.
thank you so much for give such a way to express my comment.
special thanks to the owner of the blog.
regards
vanibalan

BeckBeck says
I DO have a special mirror I use for makeup… it’s from Pottery Barn years ago, and it’s a round mirror on an accordion hinge, so that it pulls away from the wall almost right to my nose. (I am incredibly nearsighted – I can’t get out of bed without my glasses – so I need to be right in the mirror to see what I’m doing!)
Justine says
I love my new haircut!
Amber says
Here i am trying my luck again this week in the hope of winning! X
Lena says
GAH hair. i’m in that moment in time where i don’t know what to do with the hair. i straightened it in 2011, and the straight part is still straight, where my hair is curly curly. so i have a very strange mop that i can’t make up my mind about, whether to straighten again or keep the curls. gah!

Lately I’ve been taking better care of my hair. I use a deep conditioner every week and usually use some leave-in conditioner or oil in my hair to nourish it after a shower. It’s been feeling so soft!
Liz says
About 6 months ago, my husband built me the most BOMB makeup mirror to go over my dressing table. He made a big wood frame and inset 6 lights into it, 3 on either side of the mirror in the middle. The lights are 3 way, which is even better. So much awesomeness I can hardly stand it.
Katia Audrey says
My favourite Shakespearean play is Hamlet!!
Amber G says
I don’t know why but recently I’ve been having a love affair with coconut scented things!
Vicki says
Unfortunately I don’t have a fancy mirror or even good lighting to do my makeup in the morning. I should invest in one, cause sometimes I scare myself when I see my makeup in the bright fluorescent lights at work!
Barbara says
I use a fancy standing mirror my husband bought me to apply my makeup. Can’t use the bathroom mirror any more except for lip stuff.
Victoria Roach says
$50 at Sephora goes way too quickly for me! haha This giveaway prize would be AMAZING!!! <3

Chrys says
I have seen Tom Ford’s Viper and MAC’s warm soul on a couple of your posts and I am in love. These are on my shopping list today. New products are always a fun treat on a rainy weekend day.

Sudden weather changes where I live is really putting a cramp on my desires to do adorable, light, spring makeup.
Suzanne Peck says
Just wanted to say that I love your blog and thanks for the Sephora contest!
Bailey says
My entire life my goal has always been to get a haircut that looked great up or down with little to no styling in the morning. Finally, after 19 years of multiple cuts and different bangs and stylings, this goal has been realized! I love my swoopy, flippy hair and my side bangs and I love that all I have to do is wash it and let it air dry and with a couple flips and some curling here and there it’s done. I’m so happy to be able to say that I truly love the hair I have and don’t feel the need to change a thing!
Siobhan says
My favourite Shakespearean play is “Twelfth Night”! So amusing and clever.
anissa says
i definitely remember my address 5 years ago (and no, it’s not the same as my current address) — in fact, i can tell you my addresses back thru elementary school, in 3 different states. does that make me some kind of freak? LOL
Wayne says
C’mon SPRING! Tired of the cold and snow already!
Sharmen says
I went back to my “roots”: Stopped dyeing my har, cut my mid-back length hair to a simple chin-length bob with bangs.
Jasmine says

P.S I love Sephora!

I adore all things J Law, from her makeup to her hair to her style to her fun and personable nature.
Sheri H says
Just bought my first Chanel lipstick and LOVE it!
Chloe says
lately, I haven’t been applying any heat to my hair! My hair is naturally very curly, which I like, except it is curliest at the root, which I don’t like. Nonetheless, I decided to give it a little break from the flat iron and its been great so far! Thanks!
Angela says
If I win, I would totally put it towards a clarisonic. : )
Kayla Dean says
Of course I remember where I was living 5 years ago because I may be 25 but I JUST moved out of my moms house almost one year ago. I love my mom and my brother so much I stayed till I was 25 and loved it. Now that I’ve left the best I only managed to love 2.2 miles away. Hehe. 😉
Uroosa Faiq says
Hey there, Karen 🙂 hope you’re doing good!

“Oh that this too solid flesh would melt and resolve itself into a dew”
Hamlet I think ?

Ionelia says
I use my bathroom mirror to apply my makeup but I wish I had a more professional one 🙂
Nicole V says
I’m obsessed with facial masks, exfoliators, treatments, and more!
irini says
I need a new phone!
Ambritt G says
I actually just got my hair cut for the first time in…..over a year! I know that’s crazy what can I say I’m lazy. I also haven’t wanted to take any length of but I had to it was so damaged and dead. So I got about 3 inches chopped off and got some layers put in. Its looks so much better and I just got some new shampoo and conditioner from Ulta by SheaMoisture and it works great!
Mich says
I do have a special mirror for applying make up. It has 5x magnification and my make up has been coming out a lot better since I started using it.
Joanna says
I’ve been looking to customize my own little vanity complete with The Most Perf Natural Lighting Ever, and so far so good! Hopefully I’ll be done with my setup by next weekend 🙂
Julia says
I love Sephora- and the terrible (amazing) thing is that I live across the street from one!
My hair is boring, but I’m loving Living Proof No Frizz products to make it through winter
Paige says
Style in my opinion is personal so i take bits & pieces from things and people regularly. But HELLO Oscar night!? One of my favorite red carpet events of the year
5 years ago i was living in Huntington Beach, CA
Yeah, i use a double sided regular/magnifying mirror for makeup and i love it
Funny story of the week – i usually have some amount of makeup on when i leave the house every day, but Wednesday last week it didn’t happen and when i got to my class my teacher looked right at me and asked my name (we’ve been in school for 5 weeks now) and i laughed and said “Paige” and she said “Oh, i.. didn’t recogn..- errr didn’t remember. Sorry.”
Pretty crazy what filled in brows & mascara do for you eh?
Lisa @ Lisa Living Well says
I’ve been growing my hair out because I intend to donate it to Locks of Love when it gets long enough. It’s been really hard to deal with this much hair, but it’s worth it.
Vanessa F says
I have a small mirror I use for eye make-up. I’m pretty nearsighted and our bathroom mirror is way to far away for detail work!

Really excited to watch the Oscars tonight!
Barbara says
Macbeth, of course! Why doesn’t love Macbeth?
Amoure says
The mirror I use for applying my makeup was actually a Christmas gift about 2 years ago. It’s the Reflections LED Lighted Collection Mirror from Conair and it was purchased at Ulta (one of my favorite stores). I like the magnification side because it’s about 6x the magnification of the other side and I can really get close and put those falsies on.
Kirsten says
I am starting to love Dolce Vita!!
Magda says
My style icon is Kate Middleton. So classy!
Megan says
I remember my address from 5 years ago b/c i’ve been living in the same house for 10 years!
Vivien says
I’ve fallen in love with Macbeth since I watched Sleep No More! Awesome show! Highly recommended!
Emily says
I need to do something different with my hair. This winter weather has left my already fine hair both flat and fly away.
karen says
my favorite fashion designer is marc jacobs at the moment…
Linda says
I recently chopped off my hair for a wavy bob. I haven’t had short hair since the first grade, and it’s so refreshing (plus it looks really cute with winter hats).
Candace says
I haven’t been doing much differently with my hair, but I did get a teeny little cut and get my highlights updated a few days ago! Makes a world of difference despite how subtle it is 🙂
Ellen says
I absolutely remember my address from 5 years ago! Also, I will have been living in this apartment for 5 years come May – time flies!

Rachel says
Hello! I found you through theNotice’s reading list. 🙂
I actually just got a Conair lighted mirror yesterday to put on my battlestation. I’m so excited that I don’t have to hold up a compact to do my makeup anymore.
tiffany says
My hair is the longest it has been in about 3.5 yrs after having a pixie cut so every day is like a new hair day! It’s a lot more work than the pixie, though!

Donna W. says
I love Sephora!! I’m like a kid in a candy store.
ZIVYA says
The only mirror I’m using right now is the full-length mirror that comes with my closet–unfortunately the lightning in my room is sooo bad and the mirror accentuates all my flaws 🙁
As for my hair–I’ve just bought a wig! My hair is super short and has been so for the last six years or so, so with a wig I don’t need to wait for it to grow out to be able to style it 😀
Lynn Hodges says
I love Sephora products I could shop all day long
Ashleigh says
What’s your favorite Shakespearean play? I’ve never seen The Tempest but that was my favorite when we read it in high school.
Ashley says
I have been so excited to see all of the beautiful, bright Spring colors sprinkled all over the beauty community! I love a good pop of color!
Diane says
Yes–I definitely use a special mirror just for makeup. It’s a little magnifying mirror that has a suction cup so I can remove and take with me when traveling.
Shekinah says
My style icon is Cher Lloyd. I love her style, face, clothes, make-up, look and everything. She’s so pretty. Her style is amazing. It’s like a combination of Edgy + Classy + Chic. She got swag. 😀
Gail says
Tired from the Oscars
vanessa holman says
My favorite designer right now is Cynthia Rowley. I like a lot of higher end fashion as well,but I always able to find her stuff at tj maxx for ridiculously reasonable prices and her dresses are perfperfect for day to night wear. Flattering and work appropriate and just basis enough to dress up with acessories. Live her stuff
vanessa holman says
Also. As someone with thick, red, curly, and occasionally frizzy hair– I’ve been using alot of at home hair masks. My favorite mask is from lush, but it’s expensive so I alternate between using coconut oil and mashed avocados. My hair is soft and shiny and smells amazing without looking greasy afterwards. So easy and cheap

Amy says
Yesterday I tried out the TRESemmé 7 Day Keratin Smooth line. Shampoo, conditioner and Heat Activated Treatment. Locks are smooth and shiny. Though I haven’t shampooed yet, so no comment yet on how long it lasts. After reading some reviews, I used less of the treatment than the instructions suggest. I think that was a good move.
Helen says
My new year’s resolution is to figure out how to make a smokey eye and put on false eyelashes.
Bee says
The Oscars were a hoot last night right????
in other news, just noticed some lines on my forehead :(( I need to get on a anti-aging bandwagon soonest!
Bianca Gallegly Horkan says
Feeling a little hung over from watching the last 30 minutes of the Oscars last night…could sure use $50 to spend on anything. LOL
The only addresses I don’t remember, were the two I lived at between the day I came home from the hospital until I was about 5 years old.
Pontiac, MI <– don't remember
Auburn Hills, MI <– don't remember
Pontiac, MI
Waterford, MI
Clarkston, MI

A Midsummer Night’s Dream! Oh my gosh, I studied that play like you would not believe! The Tempest is also nice.
AmyD says
Found backups of my favorite tinted moisturizer this weekend! Yayyy!
pegg says
I’ve bought more makeup products in the last few weeks than I have in the last year or so because of reading your blog and some others!! lol
Tiffany says
I despise moving and avoid it at all costs, so I definitely remember where I lived 5 years ago.
Trude says
I have been doing something different with my hair! My hair has some body and curl to it, but blows out straight easily. Sleeping on it in a bun just makes it messy and frizzy, but I’ve found that putting it up in a bun on Day 1, still damp with some Aveda curl cream and my bangs sideswept, means that on Day 2 I have lovely loose waves (and the evening of Day 1 if I’m going out, like yesterday), and Day 3 it goes up in a messy pony. Just some Dry Remedy Oil on Day 2 to calm my curls and a little dry shampoo around my hairline on Day 3 and I’m good to go! 🙂
Regina Reed says
I HAVE been doing something different with my hair – how did you know?! I’ve been NOT doing as much to it, and it looks a million times better than it ever has.
Casey says
I am running low on my Smashbox Primer – winning this would be great!
Nikita says
Have you been doing anything different with your hair?
I’ve taken to maintaining dark red peek-a-boo streaks in my hair (it’s black), and it’s a lot of fun 🙂

Yes! I have been doing something differently to my hair. I have been adding honey to my rinse out conditioner. It is supposed to be great for moisture, and it really has helped. Also, growing tired of being able to find someone who knows how to cut my curls, I have been cutting it by myself, and have had nothing but compliments that last couple days ♥

I haven’t changed up my hair in awhile. I see pictures of cute shorter styles, but they very rarely look good on me, so I pretty much keep it longer.
Stephanie says
I would love to give some high-end products a whirl, since this gal is on a bud-get these days. Maybe a Tarte blush??
Erin D says
I’m going in for a bang trim today but am feeling bored with my hair… thinking of dying it for the first time sometime soon!

I’ve never done anything too crazy with my hair. Just dyed various shades of dark brown and black and I’ve done caramel, blonde, and red highlights.

I went to my sister’s 80th birthday this weekend. It was a great time and I got to connect with a ton of family that I don’t normally see. I know, I’m too young to have a sister that old. LOL

Have you been doing anything different with your hair?
I’ve actually been trying to wash my hair less since I was washing it every day and I think I was drying out my scalp because it was starting to overproduce oil.. TMI, i know!! I also started using a homemade apple cider vinegar rinse to help with my scalp. so far so good! only down side to the ACV rinse is that you smell like vinegar until your hair is completely dry… 🙁
Donna Marie says
sadly I have not been doing anything differently with my hair. I’m in a rut.
milaxx says
I’m really over this winter weather. It’s doing bad things to my skin and hair?

Hello! Thanks for your amazingness with your reviews and info of makeup! I wanted to join the contest to get the Sephora certificate, for that I can tell you a million things, but basically I wanted to let you know how much I love makeup, I started using makeup very young, yet I always have been careful about choosing my products. I think most of us girls always think we have a flaw, maybe the nose, maybe youre hair, it could be anything, (in our crazy minds) with time I’ve learned about discovering my beauty, and the only way I achieved this was while I realized that ever girl and woman are beautiful an unique, whenever I judge myself, I was so hard to me, until one day I woke up. I don’t believe in makeup as a tool to change you you are, but as a helper to drive attention to your beautiful features. Now I don’t have large and voluminous lips, and now I cant believe how much I love red & pink lips thanks to the stains! I never thought! I tried the Maybelline markers, yet not my favorite, then the Victorias Secret Pouts and they are too pink and glsossy, now my favourites are the Revlon Just bitten Balm, and I want to bad to get the Sephora lip tars.
I also wanted to give a few tips to the girls reading this whenever it comes to hair that I discovered, for curly hair you can prepare your own styling gel with linseed. Put half of a cup of linseed in 1 cup of water in a pan, heat it until boiling, you will see that with time it will turn sticky, once you do that take the seeds out and ready. Wait until it gets colder, and you can save it on your refrigerator. The most thick it gets, you will get more hold, you can even used it for crazy hairdos if you ticken it until getting a serum like potion. This will leave your hair amazing, with body, shiny, and soft. Everyone will as you what you did!
Please give me the Sephora certificate.

I definitely have an unhealthy obsession with all things make-up. I would really love to win this gift card!

I have a great lighted magnifying mirror. Everyone says don’t use a magnifying mirror when you get to a certain age because you see everything but without it I don’t feel I am placing my makeup correctly.
