A pocket mirror is just a small mirror you can carry around in your bag or pocket. People use it for quick makeup fixes or to check how they look when they're out and about.
Okay, here's the rewritten, human-sounding version of that text, avoiding the forbidden words:
**Pocket Mirrors: A Quick Guide**
**What They're Made Of**
* **Mirror Surface:**
* Glass: Gives a clear picture but breaks easily.
* Acrylic: Doesn't break as easily, and it's lighter, but the picture isn't quite as clear.
* Shiny Metal: Lasts long, but the picture might be a little warped.
* **Frame:**
* Plastic: Light, comes in lots of colors, and it's cheap.
* Metal (like aluminum or steel): Strong and looks nice.
* Wood: Feels handmade, old-fashioned, and good for the planet.
* Resin: You can make cool designs and stick things in it.
* Leather/Fabric: To wrap the mirror.
**Sizes and Looks**
* Round: Small ones are about 5 to 10 cm across.
* Square: About 5x5 cm to 10x10 cm.
* Oval: Small and stylish.
* Heart: For decorations or gifts.
* Fun Shapes: Stars, animals, flowers, whatever.
**What They're Used For**
* Putting on makeup.
* Checking your hair, teeth, etc.
* Putting in contacts.
* Plucking eyebrows.
