Who wants the skinny mirror?

According to UK Daily Mail, entrepreneur Belinda Jasmine invented the mirror that makes people look almost a stone slimmer than they actually are, an invention that could be a girl's new best friend. The Skinny Mirror uses curved glass to trick users into appearing up to 10lbs lighter, delivering a welcome boost of self confidence. The concave curve in the glass has been specially designed to flatter, promising togive users a spring in their step after they see their fine-tuned reflection.
