Price: I paid $25+

Review: bright LEDs in a neutral white colour so you can judge your makeup accurately. Dimmable lights but I always use it on max brightness. Comes with a 10x magnification add-on but I find 10x to be a bit much – I have to go up real close for the image to come into focus, by which time I can only see one eye. The add-on is meant for detail work but I don’t really need to be so up close and personal with my wrinkles.

Verdict: it works, and it’s decent value for money. Would recommend, would buy again.
