This Pocket Mirror Is a Royal Treat

Hello everyone!

I've got a fantastic review to share with you all about this amazing mirror that I've been eyeing for a while now. I was actually trying to decide what to get as a gift and whether to include a mirror in the package. I went through a ton of options, from cute and playful wall mirrors to sleek and modern designs. I even came across some gorgeous vintage metal-framed mirrors that caught my eye, but I wasn't sure if I should gift one or just keep it for myself. But trust me, it's totally worth it.

This stunning vintage-style pocket mirror with a peacock design is a stylish and practical accessory that combines beautiful aesthetics, ease of use, and high-quality build. The intricate peacock relief symbolizes elegance, beauty, and prosperity, while the bright rhinestones and enamel create a striking shine in any lighting.

Country of origin: China.Price starts from 350 rubles and goes up to infinity, depending on the platform.Buy it on any of the marketplaces. You can either search for a specific design, or get a random one in a bundle of 5 pieces. I actually received this mirror as a gift, and I know my friends bought it on Ozon. But, as we all know, similar Chinese products are often resold by middlemen. On AliExpress, they're significantly cheaper, but I'm not exactly an expert on that platform.Design

I've got to say, the packaging was pretty straightforward - just a small packet with a sticky edge. No fancy box here!

Description of the Mirror

This little folding mirror is a real treasure. It's got a compact, rectangular design made from metal, which feels pretty solid. The top part of the mirror is all ornate and curved - it's a real showstopper.

Metallic MirrorNobody would notice at first, but the bottom part of this mirror is actually embossed, not smooth. Still, it looks solid, like a brick. Vintage Folding MirrorIt's roughly an inch thick on the sides, but the top cover is curved, so it holds a bit more. Not a deal-breaker, though. You could even stash it in your pocket and it wouldn't stick out. Vintage Folding MirrorThis mirror closes up tight, no tiny gap left. And let me add this: I'm seriously impressed with the build quality here. The body is sturdy, and the closure mechanism works flawlessly. It's a job well done.

Vintage Folding MirrorThe side panels are smooth, but not super shiny like jewelry. In terms of color, it's a dead ringer for bronze. The metal pattern combined with the color reminds me of an old chandelier I used to have – it was brass, though. The top and bottom parts are held together by metal hinges, which look like they've been darkened slightly. They're solid and don't feel flimsy at all.

Vintage Folding MirrorAnd then there's the front mechanism. I didn't quite get it at first. Usually it's either a notch or you have to slide the button down, like on a pallet. But this one's like a little hockey puck on a watch, but it's actually super easy to open – just a gentle press and the mirror opens with a soft click. Vintage Folding MirrorMechanism What I also loved: the mirror opens with a bit of pressure. And once you open it, it stays that way. You can set it at any angle and it won't shut itself. It opens and closes smoothly, no creaking or scraping sounds – just a nice, springy action.

I was pleasantly surprised by how seamless it is to use.

Vintage Folding MirrorProduct DesignIt's an absolute page-turner – I couldn't look away. To me, it's like that old wooden box in grandma's attic with all the buttons. Like mom's broken jewelry box, like finding a treasure trove.

Our theme is peacock, and it's a delicate, intricate design. The description says it's studded with rhinestones, but the main color comes from the enamel. There are a few colored inlays, but they're not essential. Overall, it looks stunning.

Vintage Folding MirrorThis entire metalwork piece looks incredibly solid. The enamel is convex and smooth, the metal is well-sanded, no ridges, nothing extra. It's been made really well. Vintage Folding MirrorAnd what's even cooler is the lacy, convex top - just part of the lid. Underneath, you can see a layer of holographic slime, I don't know what it's for. In the light, it shimmers, and it really adds to the beauty of the thing. Vintage Folding MirrorIf I hadn't seen it on marketplaces and online, and someone had given me this mirror as a gift, I'd have thought it was super expensive. I mean, it looks really luxurious. And it's not just about the shine or the enamel decorations. It's just that whole vintage thing, so expertly made, it feels like a really pricey item.When you hold this mirror in your hands, you want to take a powder puff from a copper bowl and perfume from an elixir bottle tied to your waist. And then you'd stick a ruby stud into your hair, adjust your monist on your skirt, and head out the door, nose held high 😂 That's how I feel when I hold it. Vintage Folding MirrorAs for the usability

I mean, any girl needs a mirror for 'touching up'. But I rarely use those tiny phone mirrors when I'm out and about. Still, it's a pleasure to carry this one in my bag or pocket. Plus, the metal feels like it's been lacquered, so it's unlikely to yellow – it's already a bit yellow, after all.

This compact mirror is perfect for daily use, travel, beauty routines, and making quick adjustments to your makeup in any situation. The body is made from sturdy metal in an antique style, giving the mirror a premium look and ensuring durability.

Vintage Folding MirrorNow, there's a twist – it comes with two mirrors. One is in the same plane as the bottom of the mirror, and the other is recessed, like it's been sunk into the top part of the mirror.

And they're different. One is a regular mirror, while the other is a magnifying mirror. As an artist, I know that reflections in mirrors are always smaller than the original – it's a fundamental law of optics. But sellers often describe regular mirrors as 1:1 and magnifying ones as 2:1. Not quite.

I'd say one is a regular mirror, and the other is a magnifying mirror that's 1:1.

Retro Folding Mirror The mirrors themselves are top-notch for something so budget-friendly. The edges are super smooth, and I'm impressed there's no sign of the amalgam wearing off or any scratches. Retro Folding Mirror It reflects super clearly. If you just look at the photos, the reflection in the mirror is so convincing that it might seem like the original image. It's actually a bit unnerving. This ergonomic design and smooth edges make it a breeze to use, and the flat construction lets it fit easily into a makeup bag, clutch, or pocket. Each model has a unique pattern, making it a one-of-a-kind gift for women, girlfriends, moms, or coworkers.

This is what the regular mirror looks like:

When it comes to a bent eyebrow or a close-up shot, this difference is noticeable. This accessory will be a great addition to any look, highlighting your individuality and becoming a stylish daily favorite. If you need a beautiful vintage mirror, a decorative compact mirror, an original gift, or an accessory with an unusual design – this model is a great choice.

My verdict on the vintage folding mirror with a peacock

If you're looking for a gift for your girlfriend (mom, sister, daughter), this mirror is a great option. It comes in a beautiful box with a ribbon, making it a lovely gift on its own. Alternatively, you can place it in a gift box (that's what I did). It's not just about how it looks or its quality – it's simply a beautiful thing. Giving someone a snow globe (beautiful, but affordable, and perfect for those who appreciate it) or a single red rose without a box is elegant and attention-grabbing, yet costs only 100 rubles. That's exactly what this mirror is like.

There are a few things I'd like to highlight:

I'm seriously impressed with the design - it's stunning!The build quality is top-notch, and it doesn't feel like plastic at all.It's crafted with attention to detail, and the little cover is a nice touch.The hinges are super sturdy.The level of detail is amazing.It comes with two mirrors, one of which is a magnifying one.Considering the price, it's an absolute steal.I'd say this makes for a fantastic gift, but honestly, it's something you should treat yourself to too. My rating's a solid 5 out of 5, and I'd definitely recommend it!

Thanks for sticking around! All good here)
