Is it A New Era of Glossier Collectibles ?

Someone Tell Glossier to Bring Back the Flip Phone Mirror

If you’re a fan of Glossier’s vibe, you’re going to love their latest drop: the Mini Laptop Mirror. After the wild success (and instant sell-out) of their iconic flip phone mirror keychain (i did an article here), Glossier has once again captured our hearts—and our vanity tables—with a compact mirror that looks just like a tiny laptop. Here’s everything you need to know about this adorable accessory and why it’s the perfect addition to your beauty collection.

I wasn’t looking for it — truly, I was just browsing the Glossier site like a normal person who absolutely doesn’t need another balm dotcom — when I saw it. A tiny pastel computer. Not functioning, obviously. But real enough to make me pause. Real enough to make me smile. It looked like something from a childhood dream or the Barbie Dreamhouse desk. And yet, there it was: a miniature computer mirror.

What Is the Glossier Mini Laptop Mirror?

The Mini Laptop Mirror is exactly what it sounds like—a compact, portable mirror designed to resemble a miniature laptop computer. When closed, it looks like a sleek, pastel-hued laptop with Glossier’s signature minimalist branding. Flip it open, and instead of a screen, you’ll find a high-quality mirror that’s perfect for on-the-go touch-ups, whether you’re reapplying your blush or checking your lipstick. The price is around $16 USD, it’s an accessible way to add a bit of fun and function to your beauty routine.

There’s something so deeply satisfying about this object. Is it practical? Barely. Is it something I need? Absolutely not. But I want it. Like, I want to sit at a cafe and pull this out instead of my phone to check my lipstick. I want to line it up on my bookshelf next to an old tube of Cloud Paint and a stack of unread art magazines and pretend it’s a little reminder that makeup is supposed to be fun.

Because somewhere along the line, beauty got kind of serious. We started talking about routines and regimens and serums like they were investment portfolios. But I think a lot of us are craving joy again. That feeling of walking into a store, seeing something shiny, and buying it just because it makes you happy.

The little computer mirror doesn’t promise better skin or a 10-step system. It doesn’t even try. It’s just cute. Like sticker-on-your-laptop cute and honestly? I’m into it.

I don’t know how long it’ll be around. Maybe it’ll disappear like the flip phone. Maybe it’ll become a weird collector’s item that people fight over on Depop. Or maybe it’ll quietly exist in a corner of someone’s desk, doing its job — reflecting back a tiny, glossier version of you.

My first thought was, Okay, wait. Is this their answer to the flip phone?

Because let’s be honest — we’re all still thinking about the Glossier flip phone mirror. That pink, Y2K-inspired keychain that showed up in LA, vanished from stores, and now lives on only in Pinterest moodboards and marked-up resale listings. I missed it. Maybe you did too. It felt like one of those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it drops. Cute, nostalgic, a little useless in the best way.

Either way, I kind of love that Glossier is back to making things that feel like surprises. Not launches, not drops, just moments. Little objects that make you pause and go wait… what is that?

The Mini Laptop Mirror is currently available on Glossier’s official website. Given the brand’s history with limited drops, it might not be around forever—so if you want to snag one, now’s the time!
