BaByliss 8438E cosmetic mirror 8x magnification (Personal Care)

Customer Review

Anyone familiar with the enthusiasm not when you get into a hotel and there is in the bathroom a lighted magnifying makeup mirror? First reaction, Oh Sch ... how does it look my skin ?! Second reaction, super finally we see something, can solve problems and make-up super .... For me it's always like night and day, as opposed to home. And ... I wanted something absolutely every day!

Here at Amazon this mirror has no wall mounting and also get the most best reviews. Unfortunately I have not the possibility of wall mounting, which reduces the range enormously. The price for me was not important, the main thing the quality is right, I would have spent so even more.

Now vary the reviews here of bright enthusiasm to well ... I should have listened to "well".

First of all the positives: it is nice and big, you can see the whole face, so it should be. It is processed massive, heavy, does not fall to. And it looks good .... so, but that's unfortunately already. That the switch button is difficult to move, ok, but not as exaggerated as here write some. With cream hands are certainly not get him switched (although ... the small Schnupsel to rotate but helps), a pair of pliers you also do not need!

However, the 8x magnification mirror, what can I say, which is enormous and, unfortunately, also has the great disadvantage of the distortion, you really need to go get close to see anything good, then it is also a good size ... It makes me feel as I have found, but a bit too large (with good light I might otherwise judge). But now the most important thing, the light: 3 stages, and I anticipate nehms times, all too dark, the last brightest. In addition, you have shadows on the face, because it simply is not enough at level two you even feel it is darker than without light, safe an optical illusion, but ugly.

If no light is seen more blemishes than with light, which is a bad sign. I was really sad because it looked good otherwise, but it is nothing compared to all the mirrors in the hotel. I do not understand that this is apparently so difficult to implement. The light is faulted at all levels over and over again ... so expensive LEDs are not more today.

I will return the mirror so with a heavy heart again, for the money I can buy 5 unlit mirror of the same size, which are then similar ... Too bad, I'll have to look any further ...
