What's the Oddest "Mirror" You've Ever Used?

February 28, 2009

Sugar gal Molly was getting all dolled up to get her photo taken, using a picture of Beyoncé for her makeup inspiration, along with a little Jennifer Aniston's Oscar braid for her hairstyle inspiration. I had to chuckle a little when I caught Molly cleverly using Mac's Photo Booth application as a makeshift "mirror." This got me to thinking. I've used the back of my iPod for touchups in a pinch, and even the shiny side of a CD. What about you? What's the oddest "mirror" you've ever used?

I always use my cell phone as a mirror when I'm at school!

I check myself out in the stainless steel on the espresso machines at work ALL THE TIME! I feel like a ditz but they're the only mirrors available and a girl's gotta look good.

Sadly, I'm always looking at shiny objects to look at myself. :makeup:

I've used my webcam before. The screen of my phone. The floor mirrors in department stores. Shop windows. I also once had a USB where one side was mirrored, I'd check my makeup in class to see if I needed a touch up.

I use Photobooth all the time, as well! My weirdest 'mirror' is probably my teapot. It's aluminium and when I'm eating breakfast in the morning, it's an easy place to check my hair!

@princesstiffany I was recently in a really nice sushi restaurant for lunch where they have windows you can't see into. This early twenty-something girl got right up to the window and cleaned her teach, checked her nose, brushed her hair and put on some makeup. She then proceeded to get her picture taken by some creepy old guy. All of this why the people 10 inches from her on the other side of the glass watched in horror as well as the rest of the place. It wasn't until someone walked into the restaurant did she realize they were actually open. She went running and the entire place started laughing. It was so uncomfortable watching her do all of that private stuff not knowing we were all watching.

I've used photobooth while in the computer lab at school. I've also used a CD, the back of my iPod and my phone's camera too!

someone's sunglasses and window reflections (be sure to check for people in cars first, or they might look at you funny! :))

Photobooth is the best mirror~! I've also used my reflection in windows... and I've used my shadow to fix my hair when it was standing up. haha Beauty is about making do with whatcha got!

I've done all of those as well. I use my iphone most consistently though. With it turned off the reflection in the glass works really well.
