Product Review: Firmoo! Half Off for You!


So I'm basically blind without glasses or contacts. It's not fun. Even though I prefer how I look sans specs, I almost always wear them since I stare at a computer screen all day and my eyes get dry.

I know, I know. This is SUCH a cool story.
I mean, why didn't I blog about my dry eyes sooner, right?!?!

Joking aside (for now), I was pretty pumped when a rep from Firmoo contacted me to try out a pair for free. Yes, I'm reviewing glasses given to me for free, but opinions are my own! I have a couple pairs of glasses already, one black and one brown, so I thought this would be a great excuse to try some wilder hues. 

The process was really easy. I needed to get my prescription from my doctor and all I had to do was enter in the info on the Firmoo site before ordering. Easy peasy. I also enjoyed uploading my own photo to see how the frames may look on me.



Within days I received my pair of purplish/reddish frames and I wore them immediately. The fit is perfect and the frames look cute. My co-workers all noticed my new look and paid me compliments (thanks for that, friends!!).

Bluuurrrrrrrryyyyy. Ooops.


My only gripe about the experience is actually with my doctor, who thought it weird to give me certain measurements. I think it was the bridge distance. That was a silly exchange, but they gave me the measurements since I still give them business. Aside from that it was a very easy process. I didn't realize the package was coming from China, though, so it was interesting picking up the box in my building and trying to figure out what it was! Silly me, I clearly order things online too often and forget what I order! The package included a pair of glasses, case, spectacle pouch, cleaning cloth and tiny screwdriver. Not a bad deal!

Would you like to try out Firmoo??
They are so kind to offer my readers a 50% off code on the frames site wide: http://www.firmoo.com/z/new-50-off.html. 

Have fun and let me know which frames you choose!!

Sampling Sunday: Week 3

 photo samplesbutton_zpsb78a668c.jpg

Hi there!

It was a fun sampling week! Here are the products I tried:

1 | 2 | 3

1. The Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes Mascara is pretty solid. I haven't heard anything about this mascara so I thought I'd give it a try when I got it with recent Ulta purchases. However, I like it but don't love it. $20 is pretty average, but I still prefer my CoverGirl Lash Blast for less than half the price.

2. I seriously love lip gloss. Give me sample after sample and I am one happy girl. In fact, this Mary Kay lip gloss is one of many I have been lucky to try! It's a great shade to top a lipstick or wear alone.  These lip glosses are typically a go-to for me.

3. This was a full-size purchase for me. You can't beat the quality of Ulta shadow for the price. The color is new for me and I really love how it looks. I pair this with the Pearl shade and dig the results. The shadow lasts all day with my favorite eyeshadow primer!

Weekly disclaimer: 
I have a shameless selfie to share. I don't want to appear all "look at me! look at me!" but I figure that if I'm promoting beauty products I might as well show you the results. I used all three products in the photo below:


Have you tried any of the three products I listed? What do you think?


Have a good one!

Blogging certainly has its perks, even for those of us who only post on a weekly basis. Considering that, as of late, all I have made time to post about is my wedding, I was particularly shocked to receive an email from eShakti, an online boutique specializing in custom clothing for women in all sizes. Since I had never heard of this awesome brand, I almost marked the email as spam, but was intrigued by the "Product Review" subject line and clicked.
Much to my delight, this eShakti online women's fashion apparel company wanted MY opinion on one of their many incredible items in their product line.
Uh, duh, of course I wanted to!

It took me a long time to narrow down my options. Seriously, gang, this site is no joke. Not only are the clothes adorable and in nearly every size imaginable, you can also customize them!
The size charts are very helpful, and you can even adjust the sleeves and length to your liking. If you're crazy you could remove the pockets, too (but who would do that?).


I sent in my measurements and received a custom dress in return! The folks at eShakti were incredibly helpful during the process, answering all of my silly questions with patience and class. It was not only a custom dress, it was pretty much a custom experience!
I decided on a sweet scallop dress to wear to one of my best friend's wedding this past Saturday. 
I got so many compliments!
Not gonna lie, I felt pretty hot in this dress.
Hey, I don't compliment myself EVER (you should hear me critiquing my fat arms and triple chins in my wedding photos!), so you should know that I mean it when I say that this dress made me feel pretty. Honestly I'm not saying that because I got the dress for free. I really mean it! "Opinions are my own," or whatever big bloggers say when they get free stuff. I'm so not used to this...but I LIKE it!


 
The only thing I will say negative about the dress is that it wrinkled the second I put it on, even after ironing. Oh well, it would wrinkle after sitting for a while anyway.
And here's a little collage of Laura's lovely wedding. It was a fantastic time and she was beyond beautiful! So so so happy for her :)
