Boots reduce £55 No7 light-up mirror to £20 that's 'so helpful for doing makeup'

Boots has slashed the price of its No7 might-up mirror from £55 to just £20 ahead of Christmas. For anyone looking for a stocking filler to gift a makeup or skincare enthusiast, this might be the perfect present.

The touchscreen mirror boasts many glowing five-star reviews and is designed to eliminate shadows and glare with its light-up feature. This makes it ideal to use when applying makeup in the morning, or taking it off at night, when natural daylight is minimal.

The illuminating mirror is cordless, meaning you won't have to worry about unsightly wires on your dressing table or needing to keep it somewhere close to a plug socket. Instead, it comes with a USB port, allowing you to charge it when not in use, so it is ready to use at any time or place.

You can also swivel the mirror around to use its 5x magnification n the back any time you need a close up view. As the mirror was £54.95, it means shoppers stand to save £34.95 thanks to its new £20 price.

If you plan on buying the mirror online, you just have to add £5 more to your basket to be eligible for free delivery. Or, you can opt to click and collect at your nearest store.

Cam said: "Works perfectly. Although I'd have preferred a chrome metal mirror it still looks good." However, not everyone was in agreement as one customer added: "It was heavy, too small, there was a mark on the outside ring."

David claimed: "Received this as a gift and while it worked well initially, it no longer charges and only illuminates when it is plugged in to a battery pack." Mizzy typed: "The light is odd. It doesn’t illuminate as I would like."
