Chic Couture-Firmoo Review



*This is a sponsored post.  Firmoo did supply me with a pair of glasses to review. 
All opinions are mine.*

Surely I'm not the only one who likes having an eyeglass accessory arsenal? Since I've got too dry of eyes for contacts I'm having fun with having a few choices of frames to accessorize with! And Firmoo is a great place to get a variety of fashionable frames.  I went with a fun burgundy/pink frame this time, a new color scheme for me!  Well wait.....



.....after switching to my Firmoo Sunnies to pick Lil' Hunkie up from school, I realized I picked out the exact frame to wear everyday without knowing it!! Ha! This frame is just made for me!
I realize buying frames online may be a little intimidating but honestly Firmoo is great about walking you through the process.



Firmoo updates their selections in their 'Daily New' section everyday so us gals who do use glasses to accessorize can make sure we're being trendy! And they offer 15% off  your first pair of any frame for all new customers! Which totally helps taking the buying online plunge!
My shopping experience has been great, you should try it out!

Let me know if ya do!!

Happy Thursday lovelies!!

(Ps. I used Snapseed and Candy Camera apps to edit/filter my pics....the first pic the filter is called 'peach punch'....loved how it was different!! And tried to stay general with the last two so you could see the frame color.  Loving the frames!!)

Chic Couture-Firmoo Glasses Review


*This is a sponsored post.  Firmoo did supply me with a pair of glasses to review. 
All opinions are mine.*


I've been wanting to try a pair of brown frames without the nose pincher's for a while now so when Firmoo contacted me to do a review  I was excited!!  I have a pair of their sunglasses that I absolutely love! Oh and hey...notice anything else different? New hair!! No more blonde on top and I went shorter! Which is taking some getting used to, I can't ever fix it like my stylist does! Who can really?


I decided on a clear/tortoise frame.  Firmoo has so many stylish frames to choose from, it was a bit hard to decide on which ones to get! If you are skeptical about ordering glasses online, which I totally get, just know that Firmoo has a step by step ordering process that's user friendly! A good tip to follow is use a pair of glasses you own already and measure their width to compare.  Firmoo provides widths on every pair of glasses they offer. I did not do this and the glasses are a bit snug.  But they most definitely do not move, so I'm not constantly pushing them up! 



Glasses came with a case, cleaning cloth, pouch(not pictured), and a screwdriver.  


Whatcha think?

Make sure and check out what Firmoo has to offer! And they have a First Pair Free Program where you can get your first pair of glasses for free! Nothing really is better than free, don't ya think? 

Happy Friday lovelies!!

Firmoo Sunnies Review!


Sunnies season is upon us!
 And if you're like me and have to have prescription sunglasses then a great place to shop is Firmoo.
They have a great selection and even have a virtual try on system. Even without the try on system, Firmoo provides easy access to the dimensions of the frames which is how I decided on which style to get.  I did already have one pair of Rx sunglasses but they do not fit me well at all...it's like the frames are too small for my round head and so they sit on my face crooked! I couldn't stand that so sadly I didn't wear them and had to listen to my hubby give me a hard time about not wearing sunglasses! Well not anymore!

Day 1....


I could immediately tell a difference in fit! Soooo much better!

And after about a week....


Trying to get a good #selfie! Ha!

If you're looking to increase your stylish sunnies collection then make sure and check out Firmoo!
And for the first 5 people to comment below "I ♥ Sunnie Season!" I'll email you  a $30 voucher to use towards a pair of sunglasses!
*Please leave a valid email address.*

Happy Friday and Happy Sunnie Season!

Chic Couture-Nubar Review

About 2 weeks ago Birchbox posted on their Facebook page a review of topcoats.  Someone commented on that post that they'd stick with their Nubar Diamont.  As you know, I enjoy painting my nails.  But it's hard for me to keep a manicure good for 3 days or more.  I know about Seche Vite but don't like that it has toluene.  So when I saw the comment about Nubar I searched it out and it had a lot of good reviews and was toluene free! So I bought the Diamont topcoat and their base coat from Amazon and gave it a try!

And the results were great!!
I painted my nails Saturday night before bed and they lasted until Wednesday without a chip! 4 days!! I have never got that before with Sally (sorry bout ya girl!) I've used Julep's Freedom topcoat but it hasn't lasted 4 days yet.  

This was taken on Tuesday...


And these were taken Thursday afternoon.  Wednesday evening I noticed a small chip on my right pointer but look at my ring, pinkie, and thumb fingers! They're all still pretty good! I am impressed! 
(sorry the right one is kinda blurry!....phone pics!)


Now I didn't clean house because I was waiting until today (hubby's been gone and I wanted the house to be it's cleanest for his return!)  but I did do dishes and bath time and I put a bookshelf together on Tuesday!
And once the chips got going it did come off in chunks and I found I could peel the polish right off.  I don't know if that's bad or good.  But as far as finding a topcoat that lasts longer than 2-3 days I am well pleased!  If, after using it more, anything changes I'll let ya know!

Happy Friday lovelies!!

Vintage Gwen Chapel-30 Words Book Review

{Instagrammed the day I started 30 Words!}

I have another book review today! 
Some how or another I stumbled upon Jarrid Wilson and his 30 Words Book on Instagram. More than likely it was because I was looking through the She Reads Truth hashtag. Yes I am a hashtag creeper! 
What else is a hashtag for? 
30 Words is a devotion that takes a word about God and our relationship with Him and studies it out for a day.  So there's 30 different words, scriptures and Jarrid's take on the daily word. I loved this concept.  It's concise. I like devotions as opposed to 'self help' Christian books....I know they are good for you but it's hard for me to stay with it and finish it out.  With 30 Words, because Jarrid shared his insights, I kinda felt like I was reading one of those 'self helps'. I'm ready for another 30 Words actually!  
Here's one of my favorite quotes.....

 "Satan will try and distract you the second God's truth starts to attract you."-Jarrid Wilson

So if  you are in the market for a new devotion I highly recommend this one! I bought the ebook because I didn't want to wait for it to come in the mail!
And if you're in the market to follow inspiring people then follow Jarrid. Even though he is very much geared towards ministering to his generation...which I think is outstanding and so very much needed....he still is a minister and is addressing some tough issues. 
Find his book here and find him here.

Happy Saturday!!!

Glam Bag Review & November Birchbox

About a month ago I signed up for my first Glam Bag.  I wanted to see how I liked it compared to Birchbox.    I have loved Birchbox but some of the boxes are more skin care and I'm more of a beauty product junkie!

November Glam Bag!

What I got:
Brown makeup bag
{perfect purse size}
Starlet Intense Eyeliner in Chocolate
{this isn't as creamy as Urban Decay but it's still good, love that it's full size!}
Benefit They're Real Beyond Mascara
{this has a plastic brush which I am not a fan of, still a good mascara}
BareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss in Dare Devil
{love it! not too 'sticky' and a pretty color}
Meet Matt(e) Eyeshadow in Matt Batali
{pretty purple shade, I'm a fan of the Balm!}
And the sample I was most giddy about getting...
Nailtini Nail Lacquer in Millionaire
{party in a bottle! what's not to love?}

So my overall reaction to Glam Bag....a resounding yes, yes, yes! I'm impressed.  Now I realize I'm basing this on one month and really hope I don't have to change my tune!


November Birchbox

What I got:
Masqueology Revitalizing Eye
MCMC Fragrance in Phoenix
{smells so nice!}
One Love Organics Aromatic Body Serum
{feels nice, seems to absorb into skin well}
Stila All Over Shimmer Liquid Luminizer
{gives off nice tiny sparkles, great for special occasions}
Extras
Masqueology Masque Cleanse & 7D Moisture Cream
Pillow box to reuse

This is a good box. The three things I tried I really like.  
As far as keeping my subscription, I still enjoy Birchbox to stay on board.  It is my first love!
So I'll just treat myself twice a month now! Hee!

Happy Friday!

GlassesUSA


Did you know I wear glasses?  Yep! Unfortunately my eyes are too dry for contacts. Fooey! About two years ago I got serious about taking care of my eyes and got my 3rd pair of frames then. {above}  Got to admit, to get fashionable frames can cost an arm and a leg!!

GlassesUSA.com offers very affordable and fashionable frames online! Who would have thought you could achieve this online? I'm pretty sure I paid close to $100 for a no name brand for my last pair and GlassesUSA offers glasses for as low as $38!

Now I now what you may be thinking. What about trying eyeglasses on first? Well they have a new Virtual Mirror tool that allows you to 'try' them on! 


I was so pleased with the tool that I have a few pairs to show you!!


Notice the 'scale' and 'rotate' at the bottom of my picture? You can try and fit the frame to your face as best as possible!


Which do you like?
I'm really needing some black ones and really like the vintagey, nerdy styles they offer.  Looks like there just might be some online eyeglasses in my future!


Besides offering  high quality glasses frames and lenses, GlassesUSA also offers a 110% lowest price guarantee and a 100% satisfaction guarantee along with a generous refer-a-friend program.
