I hate sacrificing fashion for price…and I hate sacrificing price for fashion.  It's quite the dilemma.  So when my husband decided he needed glasses, I asked a few friends where the best place was to find affordable Designer Eyeglasses.  One friend recommended a brick and mortar store and I headed in for their 2 for 1 deal.  I got a quote on the glasses and we spent an 90 minutes getting an eye exam and picking out glasses.  When I went to pay, I was shocked to find that the price was more than double what they told me.  It was horrible.  We'd already spent so much time in the store and my husband really needed the glasses, so we bought them.  It was definitely not one of my finer moments!

I swore to myself that I would never let myself pay that much for glasses again.  I'd heard lots of great things about Coastal.com and was quite impressed when I went to check out their selection.  They have a huge selection of glasses that would have been perfect for my husband.  As a matter of fact, I was looking for something like one of these pairs.

 

These glasses are stylish and the price is right too!  They're affordable and you can shop from them in the comfort of your own home.  Plus, if you're all about feeling like a celebrity, you may be happy to know that Derek Cardigan glasses were featured in Alicia Key's "Brand New Me" music video and Flo Rida's "I Cry" music video. 

Coastal.com has lots of great women's glasses too!  I would love a pair like this Derek Cardigan 7021 in Wood.

And what I love best of all about Derek Cardigan Eyeglasses is that for every pair you purchase, Coastal.com donates a pair to someon in need.  How awesome is that?  It's like Toms for eyes!  Head on over to Coastal.com and check out all the great glasses you can choose from!

I'm pretty adenturous when it comes to the way I dress.  I love funky prints and bright colors.  I'm always on the lookout for a killer pair of heels.  

I'm also willing to experiment with my hair.  It's been long. It's been short.  It's been brown, blonde, and red.  

The one thing where I'm hesitant to experiment with is my makeup.  I'm not sure why that is.  I tend to go for an extremely natural look and I very rarely try new products.  I like the products that I use, so in my mind, there's no need to try anything new.

My teenage daughters see things a little differently.  They're always encouraging me to try new colors and to update my look.

With that in mind, when I was asked to take the Revlon Expression Experiment, I jumped at the chance.  I figured I could use a change.  

I was pretty delighted when I received my box of goodies.  It included lipstick, nail polish, eye shadow, and makeup primer.  

Since I tend to be a less is more kind of girl, makeup primer just seemed like an unneccesary extra step.  I decided to give it a try anyway and I was shocked at how great it made my skin look.  Seriously!  As you can see from the above photo of primer, the nail polish needs to be my next step! 🙂 

I also decided to go one step further and try the red lipstick they sent me. I really expected a crazy red that would leave my lips feeling dry, but was delighted that the lipstick went on smoothly.  The color wasn't too dark (although if I put more on the color was a lot darker).  I was shocked that it actually looked good on me.  It added a little pop and made me feel like a diva.

And since my lips are quite small, the little extra pop of color was helpful!  

I'm so glad I decided to take the Revelon Expression Experiment.  I'm completely delighted with the new products I've discovered!
