Break Mirror starting point?

So from looking at the responces from my questions about vanity (what words/objects best suggest vanity) most of the responces are mirrors (which is good because it backs up my idea to look at vanity in this) as well as references to plastic sergury and makeup, as well as specific products. so initially i wanted to see how or if i could create creative images around the idea of the products that we use to change our images and make us different. I really need to take a step back again

 
While some of these images came out pretty well, they really are not up to the creative standard of the rest of the images in the different superstitions. The images just dont have the connection or feeling that the others do.  They almost feel like an advertising shots rather then images making a statment.
