how do i take a self portrait of my reflection in a small mirror ( makeup...

...compact) with out the camera showing? i was thinking I would have to set a tripod up behind me and angle it down over my shoulder... but how can i do it so i can see if i have the right view in the shot?( it is a digicam with a small video screen I can fold out to see) I am going for something like this effect:
