*** GIVEAWAY: Firmoo $500 Voucher *** (CLOSED)

About the Company:
Firmoo.com is the world's most popular online eyeglasses store. Years of expertise in optical industry enable Firmoo.com to offer varieties of prescription eyewear to the consuming public in high quality yet at extremely affordable prices.

Firmoo.com started conducting a survey concerning the efficiency of the optical industry in the United States and found that this industry is one of the most inefficient ones in the country. The immense markup by the retailers does not benefit the optical stores too much as the traffic to each store is very limited, yet the consumers need to pay hundreds of dollars for a pair of eyeglasses worth just a fraction of what consumers pay. This is why Firmoo.com has established the online optical store here bypassing most of the expenses incurred in the brick and mortar stores. Through the harmonious collaboration between our optical experts, direct manufacturers and our overseas laboratories, Firmoo.com offers our customers the cheapest prices at the fraction of what optical store charges.

The low prices in Firmoo.com never compromise the quality of eyewear while treating the quality and services to consumers as top priority. Firmoo.com fully understands that prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses are classified and regulated by FDA as Class I medical device, therefore multiple inspections of eyewear by our team are being executed before shipping to our customers to ensure 100% accuracy of prescriptions, enhancing the physical well-being of our customers.

More importantly, Firmoo.com is aware of the aesthetic functionality of eyeglasses. Though long being an integral part of the fashion industry, eyeglasses are never consumed in the same manner as other fashion items with the expensive price being the major hurdle. Firmoo.com makes the fashion-conscious consumers’ dream of creating a real eyewear wardrobe a reality.

Firmoo.com feels each satisfied customer is the priceless wealth who helps spread the word. Only our valued and satisfied customers can further solidify our position as the leading online optical store in the world.

WIN IT: Twenty five (25) winners will receive $20 gift certificate from Firmoo which can be used until December 25. It doesn't cover the shipping fee.

*** REVIEW: Bows-N-Ties.com ***

As I haven't received the product (necktie) although the company shipped it, I cannot write a product review. This is my final day for the verification, so, I just have to write an introductory post about this company.

From the Company:
These four ties are handmade from finest silk by one of our newly added brands "Cavallieri". Ties by "Cavallieri" usually retail between $50-$60. We at Bows-n-Ties offer them for just 24.90. We can offer these prices for two reasons: 1. we import directly and there are no middle-men, and 2. we keep our overhead cost low of not having a brick and mortar storefront. Each of these ties is handmade from finest Jacquard woven silk.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

(I have to put this disclosure per the system request. However, I didn't receive the product.)

How to Glam Up Your Holiday Wardrobe Without Breaking the Bank

Between purchasing gifts, travel, and holiday parties, the holiday season can abuse your wallet. Instead of making financial decisions you will regret in January, consider a few helpful hints to glam up your holiday wardrobe without exhausting the credit cards. Being the fabulous fashionista you are, usually no two party outfits should be alike. Here are a few helpful hints to add diversity and glamour to your wardrobe with strategy and creativity:

Use the big bucks to invest in a foundation that will last for the whole season. The holiday season is the best time for trying out Indian hair extensions for the first time. You’ll be going to a lot of parties and will need to be able to create fabulous hair in a snap. Take advantage of holiday deals and promotions to try it out – your hair will be a hit at all parties. In the same vein, professional false lashes are a small touch that will add big style to any look. These items are both versatile with any outfit and will boost your look and attitude.

You don’t have to shell out the big bucks for shoes that will gain compliments from friends and colleagues alike. Not every outfit requires a different pair of shoes. Invest in a pair of sparkly, neutral colored shoes in silver, gold, bronze, or another jewel tone that will add a pretty pop to multiple outfits. Go for a classic pump or peep toe. Pay more attention to the shape of the shoe than the label, and you’ll find inexpensive options that will meet your holiday needs for the entire season.

Check out the clearance racks for fab cocktail dresses. Before dropping a wad of cash on the latest style of dress, use your discerning eye to scour the sale racks at major department stores. Pay more attention to the cut and color of the dress than the label. You can find a beautiful dress in a lesser-known brand that will work just fine for holiday parties. Paying less for one dress means you can buy more. Find $20 dresses and get five of them – enough to keep your party wardrobe fresh.

Be smart with your fashion purchases this season – you can be glamorous without paying for it the rest of the year.

Perfect Locks is a website that offers a variety of hair extensions and more! Learn more about Perfect Locks by stopping by their About Me section on the site and don’t forget to check out their Facebook and Twitter page as well. Plus, browse the huge hairstyle picture galleries and read up on the latest fashion, beauty trends and tips on their blog.

*** REVIEW: Udobuy - Black Hollow Loose Sweater ***

You all know that I'm getting into fashion more and more day by day. So, I'm really happy to meet you with great companies, and one of them is Udobuy. They sent me one black round neck half sleeve hollow loose sweater (this is my choice; it's free size). I would like to give you the actual product link, but the product is sold out, so I can't give you a link, but you can understand here how the products are selling like hot cakes.

The package arrived after 1.5-month of waiting because of the shipping speed, not the company itself, but it arrived safely in the end. I really loved what I got. This sweater looks so cool! I can combine it with anything. And I can wear it no matter it is summer or winter; it is suitable for any weather. I can feel that it is very light and comfortable, and what I like most is that I can hide my belly bulge wearing it. Of course, I lost 10 kg, but I still need to cover some areas :) Thus, this sweater helped me look slimmer. And I'm in love with black color, so who is happier than me? :)

Some Picks:

Long Fashion Slim Down Coat Black

Black Skinny PU Leather Leggings

Black Leatherette Wedge Heel Ankle Boots Shoes

Rivet Retro Flat Cap

Red Vintage Satchels Bag With Tassel

PS: "Buy one get one" promotion is going on! And don't forget to join Polyvore contest to win $50 gift card! And you can also get some free items HERE.

Winged Eyeliner for Holiday Glam – 
If you really want to show off a dazzling look to your co-workers or friends at a holiday party, winged eyeliner is the way to go. While this look isn’t really for an everyday office look, it certainly will look fantastic paired with a sparkling outfit for a holiday get together. It’s a good idea to not draw the wing beyond the limits of the end of your brow because otherwise it can look a bit theatrical. Instead use a liquid liner and work on your precision. Also, the rest of your makeup should be neutral since the emphasis should be on your eyes. Pretty soon you’ll have a gorgeous dramatic wing that will make your dress and accessories stand out at any party.

So this holiday play with your makeup and work on making your eyes dazzle and stand out. By investing in just a few main makeup elements such as eyeliner and metallic eye shadow you can create a variety of looks on your eyes that will look lovely at holiday events and evening outings. Have fun in your holiday staples and don’t be afraid to make a statement with dazzling eye makeup this holiday season!
