Fashionable Frames for Free = Firmoo!

Last month, I was contacted by Firmoo to see if I'd like to give their product a test run. At first, I had no clue what they were all about, but upon clicking the link to Firmoo.com, I realized that this was a site that sells glasses for reasonable prices, cutting out the middleman [eye doctor's office showroom with fancypants frames that cost more than you'd like to admit]. Since I've been wearing glasses since I'm three [which is 90% of my life], I'm used to the dog + pony show. I am also that girl who tries on twenty different frames + gets that look from the tech.

With Firmoo, I could try on as many frames as I wished with their Virtual Try-On System, without having to deal with a pushy salesperson. PLUS I had my glasses on while looking at the frames, which helps loads since I have a tricky prescription. So, for about an hour, I virtually tried on frames. Here are the four I narrowed it down to.

1   2   3   4
Note: I tried to keep a straight face while taking the picture without my glasses for the Virtual Try-On, to see how the shape would fare with my face. Sorry if I look weird, ha!


I decided to get the dark woodgrain frames [bottom right]. Seeing as the glasses were free, thanks to the first pair free program, I wasn't sure how long it would take to ship them, due to my pesky prescription. A few days later, I got an email stating that my frames were ready to ship. Ten days later, a padded envelope arrived with my frames!

As I opened the package, I noticed that there were two cases included - one hard + one soft. An eyeglass screwdriver + extra screws were also included, which is always great to have on hand. A fun, green soft cloth with the Firmoo logo was also in the hard case. 


Before I tried them on, I was nervous that the prescription would be off. I don't know how many times I've had to go back to the optometrist to have them fix my lenses or the frames. Its super frustrating + its the reason why I only go there when necessary. Granted, Firmoo offers free exchanges + returns, so I had nothing to lose. When I put my new glasses on, I was amazed - prescription was perfect + they look fantastic! I've been wearing them non-stop since Thursday + have even shelved my beloved red Fendi frames [yes, I love them that much] I didn't even get that pesky headache I always get with new glasses - it was a miracle. I don't think I'll ever buy frames in-store again. The frames Firmoo offers are reasonably priced + fashionable, plus they also have sunglasses [yes, I already have my eye on a few].


If you have more questions regarding Firmoo's policies, the company itself or frequently asked questions, make sure to swing by the Help Center page - it has lots of useful links which answered many of my questions. Or, shoot me an email + ask away! 

As I mentioned above, I received the frames free via the first pair free program, but this did not sway my opinion in any way, shape or form.

GlassesUSA [Sponsored Post].


Seeing as I have been wearing eyeglasses since the tender age of three, I was thrilled when GlassesUSA reached out to me. I have never ordered glasses online, but after reading up on the company + walking myself through the super simple process, I plan on snagging a backup pair, since the price is right.

Basically, if you wear prescription specs, you get the eyeglasses prescription from your eye doctor + send an image via email [or fax] to the folks at GlassesUSA. You pick out a frame, test them out on the virtual mirror, then sit back + relax until they arrive. If you don’t like them, you send them back. Not bad, right? I had a lot of fun with the Virtual Mirror. I chose the Michele – super cute + cheap glasses with my name, awesome!

Here is what my virtual glasses experience looked like:


Below is the Virtual Mirror, so you can check out a few styles on your own! GlassesUSA.com has two coupon codes available as well - Take 15% off + get free shipping on your entire order 
(orders over $50) with the code: FS15, plus take 10% off any order of prescription eyeglasses with the code Blog10.

  

If you end up snagging a pair before I do, let me know. I just got my eyes checked out, so I plan on swinging by my eye doctor + snagging a script, so I can order a new pair of sunglasses.
