Smart Mirrors: The Best Luxury Tech Item For Your Bathroom

“Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?”

Disney’s Evil Queen in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs might have been onto something all the way back in 1937. Since first seeing the Evil Queen talk to her mirror and have it respond, I know we have all wished for the same luxury. Well, now we can have it with smart mirrors!

Why put a smart mirror in your bathroom? 

Smart mirrors are the perfect luxury tech item for your bathroom -- but pretty much anywhere in your home works too! As far as the bathroom goes, we all spend a lot of time throughout our lives in that space. Whether it be brushing your teeth, taking a shower, going potty, applying makeup, or anything else, there is a grip of time being spent in the bathroom. Chances are, you’re already taking your smartphone or tablet in there when you go.

Don’t worry, we won’t judge you. We all have busy lives so it makes sense that technology integrates into our routines. There are emails to check, the weather report, latest news, health stats for the day, Facebook and more. But bringing it in with you and looking down while you’re trying to do your business can be a pain. This is exactly why smart mirrors are the best luxury item with which to fix that annoying bathroom problem!

What are smart mirrors and what do they do?

Can you imagine waking up to a mirror that detects your presence and turns on to say hello? What about using voice command to play music while you jump in the shower and sing when no one’s listening? How about scrolling through Facebook, Instagram or twitter while you brush your teeth? Or even watch a makeup tutorial as you’re applying your own to make sure you get the eye-shadow just right?

These are all possibilities with smart mirrors, and the list doesn’t end there. With upgraded systems, there are a load of apps you can download and access through these smart mirrors. Things like your gallery apps to view selfies you take with the mirror to playing games like Candy Crush are all accessible. Some can even connect to other smart items in your house to display your blood pressure, turn on your coffee machine, and more.  

Not all smart mirrors are the same.

Just like every other product in the world, there are numerous types and styles of smart mirrors you can find. Not all smart mirrors are made the same or equal. Different smart mirrors have different styles, systems, functions, and features. Thus it's good to compare several varieties to see what is out there.

Some smart mirrors are centered around specific subjects like skin care which reveals wrinkles, red lines, etc to provide recommendations. Others can be completely zoned in on anything from your health (like activity or nutrition) to the best beauty tips. Not to mention, some of them can do it all with third-party apps -- so anything from shopping to music to social media scrolling is possible.

Things to Remember When Buying a Smart Mirror:

With all these available options, if you’re thinking of getting a smart mirror - do your research. Whenever you buy a new smartphone we know you do your due diligence to make sure it’s the right fit. Dealing with smart mirrors is exactly the same -- especially because it’s a luxury tech item. Know what you want to use it for and take the search forward from there to find the best one for you.
