Party Eyes

Instead of doing my report like a good girl, I've been procrastinating all day. On the plus side, I have bought my mum her Christmas pressies, done a load of laundry, done the dishes, cleaned the bathroom, and now I'm writing a blog post. For an unproductive day I've done a surprising amount...(even if I feel guilty every time I look at my report on the desk, blank except for the title).

So this is me daydreaming about going to Christmas parties. Yesterday on the way back from the library I dragged my boyfriend into New Look and I fell in love with every single sparkly, glittery thing there. Oh I wish I had money > . < At this time of year all I want to do is cover myself in glitter and sequins. Apparently most people seem to think it's too early for Christmas (*sadness*), so I thought I'd make a toned down Christmas look, a gold twist to my usual going out eye make up.




Ignore the messy brows :P


I used my Naked palette: Virgin, Naked, Creep, Gunmetal and Half Baked.


Now I suppose I better get a wiggle on with this whole report thing...It's on seaweed...just so you can feel sorry for me...

Firmoo Glasses

Hello ^ - ^ A few weeks ago Firmoo contacted me about getting free glasses, which was literally perfect timing as I had an annoying chip in one of the lenses of my current glasses and was going to buy some new ones anyway.

My glasses arrived this morning (after I'd filled in the order form with my prescription just a few days before, super speedy delivery), and I've been wearing them all day. I really like them, they're comfy and I can just forget that they're on.


Firmoo's glasses are really well priced, many being between $10 and $20 (there are other more expensive ones too). I did expect this to mean that my glasses would be horrible and cheap looking and feeling, but they're really not. For the quality the pricing is really good, especially as if I had bought some after my eye appointment last week I would have been paying between £80 and £100 for some new glasses.


One of my favourite things about the site is the 'try it on' bit. You can upload your photo and virtually try on your glasses before you buy them. I spent ages doing this because I am very picky :P It's nice to do it online instead of feeling like you're being a nuisance taking up the salesperson's time in the store :P (I once spent 40 minutes choosing glasses...). I chose my glasses based more on comfort this time around (I wanted them with bigger lenses than my last ones) so these could be for studying more than just fashion. But when I showed them to my boyfriend on skype he said all I need to do is shave half my hair and I'd be Skrillex...I personally don't see it :P


Along with my glasses I got a hard case, a cleaning cloth, a fabric pouch and spare screws. I love that all this was included, especially the screws as I have a habit of sitting/stepping on my glasses.

Finally Firmoo is doing a great free glasses for new buyers programme, check it out here. For more information about Firmoo check out their facebook.
