Hey girls!
Today I want to show you the lenses I bought from IWantCute.com
They cost me around £14, and I went for a light blue colour. It was free postage and they arrived within two or three days.
My eyes are naturally light bluey grey, and I thought these would be a lot lighter than they turned out to be, so in fact they make my eyes look a much darker blue. I guess thats the perils of buying online though, you're never sure of the colour you're going to get.
I've never worn contact lenses or glasses in my life, I bought these purely for fun, with the goal of making my eyes look bigger from wearing them, so I'm not too bothered about the colour.
It took me about 4 or 5 tries to get the contacts in, but once they were in they felt comfortable and I could see perfectly.
I love the effect they give! My eyes definitely looked bigger and darker, but not crazily so - my family didn't really notice I had them in until I told them, so its quite subtle.
I've been wanting to write about these for a few weeks but I just hate taking close up shots of my face so I struggled with getting pictures. However if you are interested in seeing better comparisons of contact lenses please go and have a look at Moments Like Diamonds who aside from having an amazing blog has several contact reviews with great photos to see. You can see my eyes without contacts just about, here (I seem to be wearing sunglasses in most of my outfit shots..do I detect a complex about photographing my eyes!?) But here is the only shots of me with them in that I dare to showyou, I think its pretty obvious once you know!
I think it would be comfortable to wear them for about 4/5 hours at any one time. They can last a pretty long time as long as you have contact solution to store them in.
Do any of you wear coloured or enlarging contacts?
xoxo
