When I was
recently given the opportunity to review a compact cosmetic mirror from Pebble
Grey I jumped at the chance and kindly accepted their generous offer.
Pebble Grey are a company who specialise in market-leading, contemporary mirrors and
modern bathroom accessories. Not only
are Pebble Grey’s extensive range of bathroom mirrors, cabinets and accessories
stylish and at the forefront of design but they also transform the practicality
of bathrooms by featuring pre-installed extras such as shaver sockets, demister
pads and motion sensor switches.
Using
their expertise on contemporary and illumined mirrors Pebble Grey have designed
an LED cosmetic mirror. The Pebble Grey LED Cosmetic Mirror is a well-made handheld compact mirror that is elegantly
slim and fits easily in the palm of my hand, measuring only 1.5cm deep, 6cm
wide and 8cm long. The mirror’s hinge is
a tad bulky but the strong hinge feels very sturdy and I doubt it would break
easily unlike some cheap compact mirrors I have previously bought that have
broken.
Pebble
Grey gives the cosmetic mirror an air of luxury by presenting it in a sleek
dark grey box branded with the Pebble Grey logo and by providing a luxurious
velvet pouch to keep the mirror in to protect it from scratches, dirt and
marks.
The mirror’s casing is matt grey in colour and is adorned with the Pebble Grey logo on the front and a pretty swirly pattern on the back which even though simple in design adds a hint of femininity to the mirror, with the attractive design making the mirror more appealing, helping it to stand apart from other compact mirrors.

What I love
most about this compact mirror is that it is an illuminated cosmetic mirror
with 6 little LED lights embedded in one of the mirrors. As soon as you open up the mirror the lights
switch on, sparkling beautifully in the mirrors. Depending on the time of day and the natural
lighting you are in, these little lights can be a tad dazzling but thankfully
the light bounces off one mirror onto the other mirror, allowing you to look
into the mirror without lights and still see every area of your face very
effectively without being dazzled.
Thanks to
the 6 twinkling LED lights and the double sided mirrors this cosmetic mirror is
a perfect beauty accessory as you can apply or touch up your make-up anytime,
anywhere and have maximum lighting at all times and as the lights highlight all
areas of the face, including areas that are often in shadow you can confidently
blend your make-up perfectly with no unevenness.
Being a
PCOS suffer with symptoms including bad skin and unwanted hairs this mirror is
great at helping me see every inch of my face and keep on top of my beauty
regime of finding and removing stray hairs and giving my skin some much need
attention with lotions and potions to hopefully make my skin glow beautifully
and keep the wrinkles at bay….wrinkles which unfortunately this little mirror
is too good at showing!
Not only
is this mirror great for effortless make-up application, it is also perfect for
plucking eyebrows. The LED lights and
the mirror’s 2x magnification means that even light coloured, small hairs are visible
making plucking eyebrows quick and effortless with no stray hairs left
untouched. I love the fact that now I have
this illuminating handheld mirror I no longer have to lug my large lighted
mirror to a power point to be able to use a mirror with lighting to effectively
see hairs that need plucking….now I can relax anywhere at any time and have the
perfect lighting for plucking and removing stray hairs.
As I love
this mirror especially the illuminating, sparkling lights the only concern I have
is how long will the battery for the LED lights last and when it does die would
I be able to access the battery to replace it or would it simply be a matter of
having to purchase another mirror.
Despite my slight concern over the longevity of the lights the fact that
this mirror is made by a company who specialise in illuminated mirrors and that
the mirror is of a high standard I suspect and hope that the mirror studded
with 6 powerful lights will not stop working anytime soon as high quality
materials and a decent battery will have been used and that my face will be
beautifully lit with sparkling lights when using the mirror for a long, long
time.
I think
this high quality, versatile compact mirror would make a lovely luxury gift and
is the perfect beauty accessory that is a great size for popping in your
handbag so that you have mirrors with perfect lighting to hand at all times.
The Pebble Grey LED Cosmetic Mirror has an RRP of £24.99 but is currently available for £19.99.
