Vision Direct glasses

Since I've started learning to drive, wearing glasses has become essential.  Team that up with new red hair and what goes better with it? New funky glasses :)  These are c/o Vision Direct.

** Excuse my skin - I'm going foundation and concealer free in January, so you'll have to suffer through my skin looking a bit gross :P **

These are the R&L vision glasses in black & orange, and they're only £35*!  Up until recently, I'd only ever bought my glasses from Specsavers, which is where I get my eyes tested, but I've put off buying a replacement pair for the ones I misplaced as they're not cheap, my last pair set me back £120 and I just didn't have that kind of money lying around to fork out on them.

Knowing there are online shops like Vision Direct who sell good quality glasses for an affordable price means that the next time I need a new pair, I certainly won't be heading to Specsavers or any other high street opticians again, I'll be buying online!

It's nice to actually have a choice of more than 1 pair of glasses to wear too, different coloured frames to go with different moods or different hair colours.  This pair also come with a nice little cleaning kit (a spray and a decent cleaning cloth).  When you wear as much makeup as I do, you'll find your glasses get dust and bits of makeup all over them very quickly and need cleaning often!

That all aside, I'm still promising myself a pair of Chanel prescription glasses one day, I want!!!  Check back on Friday for my next blog post :)

I can see again!

I've been pretty eager to get some new glasses - I lost mine about a year ago and been living in a slightly blurry haze since!  Back 14 years ago I was on my way to uni and I realised I couldn't really see the people walking towards me, so I went for an eye test and bob's your uncle, I needed glasses.

I've been wanting to learn to drive for some time and over the last year the only thing holding me back has been the lack of glasses, so when Firmoo offered to send me some to review, I was pretty happy :)

My biggest surprise with these was the quality.  I've never ordered glasses online before and given how affordable these were I didn't have particularly high hopes, so when these arrived I was really impressed.  They turned up in a high quality glasses case, with a decent lens cleaner and a little kit to tighten up the screws should they fall loose.

These glasses are made of plastic (as opposed to metal) and fit really well, they don't sit wonky on my face or anything, they're really comfortable.  Since getting these I've been telling everyone I know about them, I never thought to buy prescription glasses online before, let alone how much cheaper they'd be.

I love the colour, totally matches my hair (you can see the exact ones here)!  And in all honesty, I've had so many compliments since I've had these, I never had compliments with my old black metal glasses, but people seem to love these, and you know what, compliments are always nice :)

Price-wise these were really good, they came to around $50, $30 of that was the frames.  As a treat Firmoo are offering the first 5 of my readers a $30 voucher to be used on glasses (not shipping), just use the code georgeistired blogs4 on the Classic range of glasses.

If you're a blogger, Firmoo are offering an opportunity to other bloggers to review some of their glasses, if you'd like more information about this, just have a look here.

Have you thought about buying glasses online before?
