times three

A new necessary bathroom accessory in my house is a magnifying mirror.

I recently bought one while shopping for our guest bathroom and decided to take a look.  

First of all – ouch – wrinkles are bad enough but magnified X3 they are painful to look at.

This winter we are spending four months in a retirement community and I have seen a lot of makeup mishaps on our new “older friends”.  I bet you can just picture what I am talking about.  

Hopefully my new mirror will help avoid these.

So . . . I put on my make up as usual and then looked in the mirror.

Woops – get out a Q-tip and clean up all the mascara smears.

Then smooth out that eye shadow.

Now blend both eyebrows with a brush.

A little more concealer under the eyes.

Much better. {why didn’t someone tell me?}

I guess I will have a love-hate relationship with this magnifying mirror.

A new necessity.
