Review of Foster Grant Sunglasses and Giveaway (Pic Heavy)

It's been sooo long! I haven't blogged for more than a month! Gasp!

I'm sorry everyone for being gone and not updating. Life has been crazy, yet again. To top that, I've been sick and also suffering from summer allergies.

This blog post and video is so overdue. I was very grateful to receive 5 wonderful pairs of sunglasses from Foster Grant and was planning on posting this long before, but I was internet-less for quite some time.



I was contacted by Foster Grant to review these sunglasses for the summer and also was given an opportunity to throw a giveaway for my readers/subscribers on youtube!

These glasses came well packaged and was wrapped nicely so none of the sunglasses came broken. What's nice about Foster Grant sunglasses is the quality and the amazing prices! I was very impressed by how sturdy they were and they don't feel cheap at all. I don't really like wearing super cheap sunglasses that seem like they'll break after a few wears.  Also, these are excellent for the summer since it's 100% UVA protected.

I'll just jump into showing you the sunglasses they sent me.  Foster Grant sent me 2 pairs of aviator sunglasses.  Aviators are "in" for this summer and lots of celebrities are seen wearing them.  For many years up until now, the popular wayfarers were the "it" glasses, but aviators have slowly taken over again.

The first style they sent me were a pair of gold aviators called Madonna.

I usually have issues with sunglasses sliding down my nose and falling onto my cheek bones because of the structure of my nose. I don't really have a prominent nose bride. What's nice about these aviators is that they seem to work with my nose really well and don't fall down onto my face.

The next pair of aviators that they sent me were white ones called Wireless.

The stock photo shows a purple one, but the ones they sent me were white in the same style.

These aviators are slightly larger than the Madonna, so I do have a problem sometimes with the glasses hitting my cheekbones or sliding down. However, I still like the style and usually the sliding down issue isn't that big of a problem.

The next sunglasses that they sent me were fashion glasses called Plaid. The design is very pretty because of the side plaid details of the glasses and the pretty purple colors.

These glasses are extremely comfortable as they aren't really round.  They have more of a streamlined look, but still super cute.  They also fit nicely above my nose.

The next pair of sunglasses are the unique-colored Safari.

What's cool about these glasses is the rhinestone details on the sides. These glasses are more rectangular shaped, which I'm not the biggest fan of.  Also, they don't really fit my nose and face very well since it sits right on top of my cheek-bones, which is my least favorite when it comes to wearing shades.

I feel like the Safaris don't really flatter my face very much since I have a long, oval face.

The last pair of sunglasses that they sent me are probably my favorite out of the 5, aside from the aviators.  These sunglasses are called Milan.

Something about these shades make it feel as if they were high-end, designers sunglasses.  As you may be able to see in the stock photo, the side details are divine with a snake-skin-like pattern and square rhinestones embedded. They also fit my face nicely and don't fall down. They're actually a little on the tighter side, but that doesn't keep me away from wearing them.
