REVIEW: Asian Contact Lenses - Do's & Dont's (Candylens.com)

A lot of people don't know what contact lenses can do for a look. They are as easily worn as your mascara to transform a face. I actually do wear glasses and have horrible eyesight at night so sometimes, I do get these color lenses in my prescription... but usually I just get them plain.

What are they?

Color contacts are meant to intensify your eyes. I know that there are A LOT of skeptics out there on the dangers of wearing contacts if you don't need them, however, if you do your research, it can be a fun thing. You get to try out different eye colors, looks and styles.

Where to get them?

There are many different sites online that sell these color lenses but from a personal POV, I love www.candylens.com shipping is fast and they are so so nice!! I've bought a total of four lenses from them (separately) and they even add a cute little note in it :) (no, I am not paid to say this.. this is an honest review) They cost anywhere from $19-$30/pair

DO:

• Research about them before buying them. It is NOT a perfect fit for everyone.
• Especially look into how to clean them and keep them safe so dirt and dander do not enter your eyes.
• If you wear glasses, do look into your prescription or even ask to get fit for contacts and get prescribed ones!
• Read other reviews
• Try fun colors! they have purples and pinks!
• It will give you the Doll-face Doe-eyed look.

DON'T:

• If you've always experienced problems with your eyes, it's better not to play with them
• Guess your prescription by what you wear for glasses. Contacts and glasses both have different prescriptions.
• If you know you have astigmatism, check with your optometrist first, some of these lenses may not be porous enough and causes extra blurry vision
• Be lazy. These take a lot of care and proper use. Remember that your eyes are precious. Do not do anything that would harm them.

Personally,

I think they're a lot of fun. It adds that extra oomph to your make-up. I don't wear them for more than 6 hours and if i do, I make sure that I carry lubricating drops with me at all times. And the contact solution BioTrue (Pictured above) is the best solution I think so far HANDS DOWN!

Here's some pics of me wearing 2 different ones (I know my eyebrows need work..I've been procrastinating!)

Geo Super Size Angel Brown Contacts- $21.90

These are 14.8mm so it make your eyes appear MUCH larger and more doe-eyed... like Bambi. My Bf usually says "you look like Bambi who needs to be spanked"... uhm?!?!

Geo Angel Brown Circle Lens - $19.90

These are my fail-safe lenses. They're only 14mm diameter which is nothing too big, it just gives a really clear defined look.

note: I have REALLY dark eyes where sometimes it is hard to even see the pupil. So this is a nice touch. i'll post some of me wearing pinks and purples and blues soon.
