Simplehuman's new stainless steel Sensor Mirror is designed for individual makeup application, featuring a circular LED illuminator that "simulates natural sunlight," by which I assume they mean it's daylight-rated. The 5× mirror's light source is wireless, and interestingly they've designed it to be recharged via USB; perhaps the rise of YouTube makeup tutorials means more people are putting their face on next to their PC?
As for the product's name, there's no on/off switch—the little detector up top senses your mug and powers up. Step out of frame and it powers down. The light is reportedly "super bright," yet will last an estimated one month between charges. And yes, the mirror's tiltable.
Simplehuman dipped their foot in the pool by selling the Sensor Mirror online starting last month, and it quickly sold out. But it's projected to hit store shelves this March.
