A Vintage Beauty Treasure Found at the Goodwill

OK so I am always passing this Goodwill store on my way to anywhere when I’m out shopping and so yesterday Hubby and I decided to swing by to see if there was anything there we might be interested in buying.  Hubby runs to the books because he loves to read old books and I run straight to home wares to see if there are any containers I can use to store my makeup, beauty and or hair stuffs.

Anyway, the make a long story short, we made our way over to “electronics” and I spotted (out of the corner of my eye) a makeup mirror made by the Clairol people back in the day.  It was brand new in the box and I had hubby test it for power and it worked!  It had never been used and it was marked $5.99.  What??  Old or not, I had to have it because a mirror like this runs at least 30 dollars at Target.

I got my mirror home and checked it out.  It came with a little instruction manual plus a “Makeup Tips From Michael Maron and Clairol”…sweet!  It’s a complete little booklet that give makeup application tips and the like.

UT OH!!!  IS THAT NATALIE FROM “THE FACTS OF LIFE” in my throwback booklet??????????? LOL!!!  Too funny!

And here are pictures of my new vintage Clairol beauty mirror which was released in 1988!!!  I was 9 years old back then.  It comes with four lighting settings (day, office, home and evening), an adjustable stand, regular and magnifying mirror and an extra outlet.

Ummm yeah…I am very happy and excited to have this mirror.  I already have another beauty mirror which is pretty, but you can never have too many mirrors on your vanity.  That’s all!
