For my giveaway, I am so happy to be working once again with Firmoo - the global online optical store.

Firmoo is the world's Most Popular Online Eyeglasses Store - as evidenced by their 580K+ fans on Facebook. Firmoo's mission is to offer varieties of unbelievable cheap yet fashionable prescription & Plano eyewear to the consuming public.

Their collection of eyewear comes directly from an affiliate factory, hence, prices are 85%~90% lower than those being sold at traditional brick-and-mortar stores. Purchasing eyeglasses from Firmoo is very convenient too, since you can do the shopping right in the comfort of your own home (or office, even). And they ship to over 40 countries worldwide!

Remember this pair of sunglasses that I got from them last year?

You too could be sporting one of these babies by simply joining my giveaway! Seven prizes at stake for seven lucky winners*!

Grand Prize: One pair of sunglasses, to be shipped to the winner free of charge. 

(Winner can choose his/her pair of sunglasses from this collection.)

Consolation Prizes: 6 Firmoo e-vouchers worth $20 each.

*Prize setting for 50 or more giveaway contestants. If there will be less than 50 contestants, only the e-vouchers will be raffled. As such, let's keep the entries coming, okay? :)

Firmoo for Me! (And you, too!)

When I received an email from Antonio of Firmoo asking if I'd be interested on a collaboration, I didn't have to think twice about my answer. In a flurry, I sent my response, agreeing to the pitch. And why not? Firmoo, after all, is the world's most popular online eyeglass store.

On top of that, I get to receive a free pair of glasses, whose style and color I had the luxury to choose. Limiting my selection to just one pair was actually hard when you have more than 300 styles to choose from. Prescription glasses for both men and women, as well as Rx sunglasses, bifocals, and even progressive eyewear can all be found at the Firmoo online store. After hours of poring over the glasses and spectacles, I finally settled on a pair of burgundy Rx sunglasses, which I thought would make a great addition to my growing eyewear collection.

My parcel from Firmoo arrived the other day, and boy, I sure was right about the sunglasses being great!

Style  #OTO2513

Oversized, but not quite, this nearly-square frame fits my face just right. Not too snug to create marks on the bridge of my nose, and neither too loose to make them slide each time I look down.

The metal pieces on the front arm add a nice, dainty accent to the chic and stylish frame.

The lenses, meanwhile, are tinted to my liking. I really hate it whenever I wear sunglasses that make the surroundings look too orange, or too purple. Trust me, I have the likes of those in my collection.

This pair came with a plastic case, a cleaning cloth, a pouch, some spare screws, and a screwdriver that you can also use as a keychain.

My only gripe with this product is the plastic case. For some reason, mine wouldn't shut tight and close properly. Even the pouch's string is a little too lose.

Vision, fashion, and affordability are the three aims of Firmoo, and I sure achieved it with this fine pair. Priced at $42, this style comes in two other colors - green and purple.

As a treat to first-time customers, Firmoo is offering a free eyewear trial. Customers get to choose their own pair of glasses, use the discount voucher (equivalent value to the glasses selected) upon check-out, pay for the shipping fee only, and then wait for the item to be delivered. Shipping is fast, and yes, they ship worldwide, too.

Finally, this is how my 'rose-colored glasses' look like when worn. Eye love! :)

*Disclaimer: I received the aforementioned product for free as part of the 'Free Eyewear' program. However, thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.
