Although small but mighty, compact mirrors are an essential item that hygienic and handy people should have on them at all times. These tiny items can be slipped into any bag or shirt pocket, making them one of the most portable essentials all around. You can even keep smaller items in there, like your vitamins, which practically doubles their usefulness!

Whether you want to check on your makeup or just want to make sure your teeth are free from the lunch you just ate, these are handy items that you can take anywhere with you. It’s not just for the makeup obsessed—if you get a little creative, you’ll find plenty of uses for it. Here are four of them:

 

Helping You Look Your Best

One of the most obvious uses for a mirror is to make sure you look presentable. Many people use it to touch up their makeup, but you could also use it to check if there’s anything in your teeth after a delicious lunch. You can even use it to store blotting papers to get rid of that pesky sheen on your face, helping you look your best!

 

Showcasing Your Style

If you’re the type of person who likes to make a statement with the items they own, then you should definitely consider owning a compact mirror. They come in so many different styles, shapes, and colours that you can have it in almost any design you want. Whether you want a vintage-style pocket mirror or something a little flashier, a compact mirror is a subtle but effective way to let people know what you’re all about.

 

Storing Items

A creative way to use compact mirrors is to use them to store items. They can hold much more than you think: they can be transformed into a small photo holder, like a keepsake for you to carry in your bag. It can even hold an accordion note, which will allow you to subtly pass messages to the intended recipient in public. A compact mirror is also a great storage option for keeping mints, vitamins, which is a great way to carry them while you’re on the go.

If you struggle with taming your hair, then you can store your nifty hairpins and clips in your compact mirror. If you’re worried about losing small jewellery, like small rings and tiny rings, while you’re in public, tuck them in your compact mirror as well. The storage possibilities are simply endless!

 

Decorating Your Home

Although compact mirrors are usually toted around, especially by those who are perpetually on the go, you can use these to decorate your home. You can turn it into a mini photo frame by embellishing its edges. You can also buy multiple compact mirrors and arrange them on your wall to form a funky and stylish mirror. If you experiment with different sizes, you’ll come up with an even more unique addition to your home!

 

Conclusion

Compact mirrors are a small but powerful item that could be used in so many different ways. Whether you want to check if you’ve got lipstick on your teeth or you’re looking for a place to put your meds, a compact mirror can do it all.
