When I got the email inviting me to review an upcoming company, I was skeptical about the prospects of new spectacles, but I emailed back for more info. I am SO glad I did.
I read up about Firmoo on their site- I loved the simplicity of their message: Quality and fashion done right. The prices, by the way, are unbeatable! Recently, we got Dave new glasses from a chain discount retailer. While his frames were under $40, the lenses tacked on another $125! Luckily, there are no hidden prices on Firmoo.
I scanned each page of frames, “trying” each on each pair that I liked (look at your script for your PD or call your doctor- I tried to measure myself but was WAY off!). After looking at more traditional styles, I decided that I wanted to go for bold, but good for daily use. This meant a plastic frame- sturdy for Addie’s grasp, and a basic color. I have a wonderful pair of black Coach frames and a fancy pair of gold DKNY frames that are over 7 years old (I just keep changing the script in them). This was my chance- I limited my search to white, plastic frames. When these popped up, I was in love.
As with the new online trend, Firmoo offers the option of uploading your own pic to “try on” products before committing, known as the Virtual Try-On System. I’ve never had good luck with this feature on other sites- the product NEVER looks the same on me as it did online, but in this case, I was pleasantly surprised!
I was AMAZED that they fit my face JUST like they did in the online preview!
I patiently waited for my email that would confirm my shipment. The glasses come from a shipping company unknown to me, but they arrived at my door, none-the-less, safely in a yellow bubble-wrap envelope. I quickly tore open the paper. They were spotless from the moment I opened the package, which was great. Enclosed I found not just the glasses, but a beautiful soft case and hard case, cloth, screw driver and extra screws!
I threw my other frames on the dining room table and have been wearing my new ones for three days! In those days I’ve been asked where I got my frames, been told how fabulous they look, and how trendy they are! I will admit I was scared ordering online, but I could not be more pleased with the outcome!
Addie loves them, too! They’re built really well- which is wonderful, because Addie likes to pull them off my face a lot. She’s dropped them quite a few times this week, and I have no scratches or bends. Knowing that these glasses are not expensive (which you can’t tell by looking!) is a wonderful thing. Having a baby and glasses can sometimes turn into a juggling act. As a bonus, I am glad there are extra screws, because I actually needed them for one of my other pairs!
I invite you, Reader, to try Firmoo for yourself! Click HERE for the First Pair Free program! All you have to do is pay for shipping- it’s a super easy site to navigate, and the styles you can choose from are updated regularly. I cannot recommend them more highly- they’re perfect for you, or as a unique gift for your loved ones. As long as you know your PD (pupillary distance) and Rx (both are easy to obtain from your doc), you can choose styles that are both practical and fun, all with-in your budget! So let loose and try some new styles!

YES! I LOVE them! I can never find glasses, and when I do they’re always SO expensive. Check them out when you get a chance 🙂

They looked great on you online, in a photo, and in person! I recognized them right away from our dinner! I’m overdue for a new set of frames – I never wear my glasses out, I’m always in contacts – but maybe it’s time to find something cute that I’d like to wear out!
