The disconnected reds does one of them come from a cable with a black wire or do they both come from cables with black wires.
Discuss Double light switch wiring puzzle in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
The OP has limited electrical experience so this is a seriously bad idea.If the cabinet light works on the switch, the two wires you have connected must be the live power in and the live feed to the cabinet light, but we don't know which is which.
With the power turned OFF, mark those two wires somehow (dots on the wire with permanent marker is a common way), then disconnect all the wires from the switch, and temporarily join all four incoming red wires together. (put them all in any terminal of the switch), and see if both lights come on when the power is temporarily turned back on.
Is there a shaver socket in the bathroom that is not part of the cabinet?
