FOTD: Will you be MesmerEyezd?

Ello ello beauties. How are you all on this dreadful rainy day? I feel for any of you that have had to venture out in this today. I have been sent some coloured contact lenses for free to review so I have this FOTD post for you :)

I went for the Jade Green lenses for this FOTD as my eyes are already blue so you will hopefully see more of a difference.

 

This Jade Green shade is a little less intense than I had expected as I thought it was more of bright emerald green, but I still really like it. I quite like the misty effect that the lenses appear to have around the pupil area as it makes my pupils look a little smaller so that I think you notice the colour more. The edging of the lenses are very defined so I think that makes them look less natural than they could be, but I guess if you want your eyes to really pop it adds to that effect.

These were really easy to use for me, but then I am a contact lens wearer at least four days a week. You simply wash and dry yours hands, peel back the foil seal to the packet each lens is in and ensure that the lens is the correct way up for insertion into the eye. It's very easy to tell as the side with deep colouring is the side that will be on show. It should basically sit on the tip of your forefinger like a bowl with the edges curving inwards. Use the middle finger of your other hand to lift your top lid slightly and pull down with the middle finger of your hand with the lens to open the lower lid just a little and insert the lens with your forefinger. I can place mine straight onto the centre of my eye, but if yours need adjusting just look in different directions and the lens should slip into place. Blink a couple of times too as this sometimes helps.

The lenses I have are meant to last for 3 months once opened. To look at all of the fantastic range from MesmerEyez check out this link and use the colour studio to try the shades on the model. There are a variety of styles that are natural, intense, sexy or even wild. So if you fancy a change or just want something crazy to make those eyes pop these lenses could be a new addition to your night out.

3 Month lenses cost £19.99 (cleanser and lens case included). To purchase check this link.

Removing the lenses with clean hands pull down the lower lid gently, pinch the lens at the sides and pull out. You can look upwards if it makes it easier. Remove make-up AFTER removing lenses.

To store the lenses rinse to clean before placing in the lens case with solution for at least 6 hours. Rinse before placing the lenses into the eyes on next use. Change the solution in the lens case every week even if not in use. The lens case is labelled left and right, but I think it could be bolder so that it's a little easier to see.

I have been wearing these today for four hours and they have not bothered me at all. There is no irritation or discomfort. It is recommended to wear these for a maximum of 8 hours so I could not wear these to work as it's almost 12 hours for me from getting up to getting home. I would still wear them on a special occasion or night out though. These are not prescription lenses. They are only for cosmetic use.

 Many thanks to Amazing PR for sending these out to me. I have always been curious to try coloured lenses so thank you.

Sauflon Clariti 1 Day Contact Lenses

Howdy people. This is a really quick post today to ask you something about contact lenses. I currently use these Sauflon Clariti 1 Day Contact Lenses and have been doing so for quite some time. While at home I wear my glasses, but for work and the cinema these are my go to lenses.

I have tried various contact lenses and although I am usually fine with these I do find my eyes will go through phases of dryness and my eyes can feel uncomfortable or almost achey. My left eye can feel like there is grit or something in it and I have sat in the office before and gotten through the afternoon with just one lense in as I couldn't bear it anymore. I don't think there is anything wrong with these lenses as this has happened with other types I have tried. I would just like to know if there are any you have tried that you think work well for dry eyes. I do like dailies as I prefer throwing them away rather than having to clean them.

If you are interested I purchase mine from here as they are usually the best price and because I try and buy 90 pairs at a time it works out even better. I work 4 days per week so these last me quite some time.

Please leave your suggestions on contact lenses for me and where you find best to buy them in the comments below.

Love to you all 

 

Contact Lenses/Glasses

Hey there my lovelies. I have had a migraine since yesterday so I'm sorry if I go into a little ramble today. I have always suffered with headaches/migraines which is one of the reasons that I started to wear my glasses a lot more. My optician said I have quite dry eyes so I began wearing them all day at work and whenever else I felt the need, plus I began using eye drops 3 times a day.

So here are the gorgeous glasses that I treated myself to when I started to wear them a lot more.

 

I bought these lovelies from Vision Express. I believe they were around £300, but I just loved the frames and figured that if I'm wearing them pretty much every day then why not :)

 

I bought this Primark case a couple of months ago which is great to pop my glasses in as sometimes the Prada case that the glasses came with pops open. This case also came in white and red. I know it's original purpose was meant for sunglasses, but it works for me.

 

This picture really doesn't show what a hot pink colour the lining of this case is inside. I love it. 

Now on to the contact lenses. I have been trying these out recently as there are times when I have spent some time on my eye make-up, but it becomes hidden behind my glasses.

Firstly I tried the 1-Day ACUVUE Moist lenses. They were quite comfortable, but I felt like my eyes were a little dry by the afternoon while I was at work.

Secondly I tried the 1 day Clariti. These seemed to be not as drying. I was told they are made of a better material. They were the same price as the 1-Day ACUVUE Moist. £42 for 30 pairs. 

When I went to my first contact lense appointment at Vision Express I tried a few lenses to see how they felt without being told what they were. I ended up with the 1-Day ACUVUE Moist lenses. After 5 days of trying them I went back and was told that everything looked okay so I bought 30 pairs rather than committing to a direct debit scheme straight away. The trial is completely free. The optician said that as my eyes are quite dry I could try some other lenses another time if I found these uncomfortable. The 1 day Clariti had not been offered to me on this day?

I liked the lenses, but when I had almost finished them I asked if I could try the other lenses that the optician had mentioned to me as I thought they might be more comfortable and less drying. I was told to come in again to try them out. 

These were the 1 day Clariti. They appeared to be comfortable so I took them away for another 5 days. This trial again was free. I returned and was told that I had a few scratches on my eyes, but that they would heal easily after a couple of days of not wearing lenses or by using contact lense drops as my eyes are quite dry. I ordered a months supply of the contact lenses, but was told they didn't have any in so I would have to come back to pick them up. I asked if they could be posted to me as I don't live in that area, but they said no. I was told it would only take a few days for them to arrive. I had a few pairs of the other lenses left so I thought this would be fine.

The lenses did not come within a few days. They had no idea why they hadn't been delivered. After many times of me phoning they said I could pick up 5 pairs of their trial packs which are exactly the same to tie me over till mine arrived. I picked them up and explained that I did not live in the area and asked if they could post my order on to me when it arrived as I don't have a car so it would just be easier for me. I also asked if a refund was possible so that I could buy them elsewhere if I needed to. They were obviously reluctant to do this. They told me to call back if I hadn't heard from them in another few days. I did this and they sent me 25 trial lenses for 1 eye and a full pack of 30 for the other. I was still 5 short on 1 eye. 

I phoned them again and they said they would send me 10 extra pairs for the inconvenience along with my missing 5 when they arrived. They did do this, but I was still disappointed with the service. I will not be joining their direct debit scheme that's for sure.

Despite all this hassle I was happy with the lenses and the fact that the trials were free. That is until I started to get a blurring in my left eye on some days when I put the lense in so I had to take it out. My right eye was fine. I have been wearing my glasses again for the last week or so as I don't want to waste any more lenses as they are daily disposables. I am so annoyed as I thought my lenses saga was over :( I have made an appointment for Friday 22nd July to see what's going on. 

I couldn't resist doing some glasses shots for you as I do love my glasses really.

Do you have any favourite contact lenses? Where do you buy yours from? Have you experienced a similar problem to me with the eye blurriness? 

Love to you all
