Review | Glasses Shop New Tortoiseshell frames
Wednesday, June 28, 2017
I was recently contacted by GlassesShop.com asking if I would like to review a pair of their eyeglasses, It couldn't have been a more perfect time. I'd just had my eyes tested and I was in the buyer remorse phase between paying for new eyeglasses at the opticians and the ten-day wait to pick them up.
The eyeglasses I'd chosen at the opticians were very different to what I've had before and glassesshop.com felt like they saved the day by having a similar style to my existing eyeglasses while still being different and new.
The ordering process was really simple, for me I had to email the details of my prescription to then company direct. All the details were on my card from my opticians with the exception of my (Pupil Distance) PD. As my sight test was recent I knew what it was but the website shows you how to measure it or you can ask where you had your eyes tested. When you order eyeglasses online there is a section on the website for you to enter all your details.
I am very happy with the frames that I have chosen, I love the mix of gold and tortoise shell, my hair is currently quite light and the gold works well but having the darker details will still work when I go through my phase of dark winter hair. You know it's going to happen I've been light for a while now.
The detail on the arms and bridge of the nose and very nice and make the eyeglass frames seem more expensive.
They also do a range of prescription sunglasses which range from then ordinary functional glasses to some which are very cool. I have my eye on the Leila Square in Black. I'm not sure I'm cool enough to pull that style of sunglasses off but I've fallen hook line and sinker for them and they are under $40 including single vision lenses.
The glasses are really comfortable and fit really well, one thing I was worried about was how they would fit around my ears as when you go into the opticians they tend to spend ages checking the fit and bending the arms but these fit very well and I don't feel like they need any adjustments.
Delivery time was also very quick and they arrived in under 10 working days. I was on holiday when they were delivered and the boxed fitted through my letter box no problem. They also came with a plastic case and cleaning cloth.
I've also been given a discount code for my readers.

ReplyDeleteThese look like really lovely glasses, so glad you had such a good experience.
ReplyDeleteThey are really nice glasses, and they definitely suit you. I need to get some new glasses and have an eye test.
ReplyDeleteThese look like very nice, quality glasses. They suit your face too - very pretty! :)

I currently have the black thick rimmed glasses and I am so sick of them. I can't really wear them because they are always sliding off my nose, but I went for them anyway as they were quite in. Anyway, it's a decision I am looking to rectify and I think I may just copy you and get this pair, they are gorgeous and they are just the type of glasses I need to sit comfortably on my nose. x
ReplyDeleteoh they really suit you, i love the mix of metal and shell!
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous. I've been after a new pair of glasses and have never had a tortoiseshell pair
ReplyDeleteI love your new glasses. You look great in them!
ReplyDeleteThe gold and tortoiseshell looks great together and they really suit you. I've looked at ordering online but always end up back at the opticians. I like to try all the different styles, shapes and colours on and that's not as easy online.
ReplyDeletethe glasses look great and suit you so well!
ReplyDeleteI am supposed to wear glasses, I need to wear them more! These really suit you! xo
ReplyDeleteOoh, I get my contacts online so I'll definitely check the glasses shop as I'm due for a check up soon and my glasses are not in good shape at all!

The glasses have some nice touches to them. I need to check out the website.
ReplyDeleteOh you look lovely in these! They really suit you! I wear glasses but I never thought to buy them on line, it takes me forever to try on every pair in the store to choose my latest pair!
ReplyDeleteThe tortoise shell is so pretty! I love how classic, yet not boring at all, your glasses look and they look really amazing on you!

These glasses look really nice! I like the design and style of them, and they work well on you!
ReplyDeleteI currently have a pair of black rimmed glasses from Tiffany. But I love the ones you have and may be I should go for a second pair. The ones you got, looks really good on you.
ReplyDeleteVery stylish frames! Mine are so old and so not cute! I really love the tortoise shell look, time to shop for new ones
ReplyDeleteI really like the frames on you! Frames can be so unique to the person and finding the right pair can be so difficult.
ReplyDeleteI like these frames. I'm going to the eye doctor on Saturday so I have to find some new ones myself. Hopefully they look as good as yours!
ReplyDeleteI love the mixture of gold and tortoise shell, such a pretty design. It's nice to pick something a bit different to the norm x
ReplyDeleteThese glasses are ridiculously cute. I love that they have the options for these since they are so different.
ReplyDeleteLooks really good on you - not everybody can rock tortoise shells (I know I can't). Also... I love that Pusheen in your planner!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, I love the frames you selected! I wear glasses too and always feel great after I buy a new pair - but I'm never happy with the cost!
ReplyDeleteThese are really nice! I have such a hard time finding frames for my face. I need to get new glasses, but have been putting it off because I haven't liked any frames I have seen. I will have to check this site out!
ReplyDeleteI really like the gold, it looks so great on you.
ReplyDeleteI love reading all your comments, so make sure you leave me one x
