There have been way too many times when I've tried to take a selfie with friends only to have it come out poorly because of bad lighting. Would-be great selfies while traveling on a beach vacation [1], meeting up for dinner [2], or singing along at a music festival [3] are forever ruined by dark shadows or dim indoor bulbs.

If you're like me and want to avoid those not-so-stellar lighting moments as much as possible, then Missguided's Smart Phone Mini Selfie Light [4] ($17) is for you. Conveniently portable and small enough to carry around in your bag, it's the perfect accessory to have, especially during festival season. Because how else would you be able to capture your awesome festival makeup and outfit? [5]

What makes this little light even greater is that it's extremely easy to use. All you have to do is plug it right into your smartphone, make sure the light goes on, and you're all set. Gone are the days of carrying around oversize selfie lights with you everywhere or struggling to find the perfect lighting!
