Is there a safe way to remove a mirror from a compact?

I'd like to use the mirror in my crafts.

    It's probably glued in with a really good glue--especially if it's a good compact. Try soaking it in lacquer thinner--an acetone solvent. Then gently pry the mirror away from the backing. If it breaks, go buy a really CHEAP compact and I'll bet the mirror will just pop out--they often do.
