If you don't know what circle lens are, they're basically soft contacts that has a big black outer ring to make your eyes appear bigger.
(picture from Google Search)It helps us asian to achieve those big, doll like eyes that we never had. And I will admit, they do do the job! Some people thing its freaky and others don't. I think they're awesome!...too bad I can't wear them though... :(The Obsession Was Born:
So it all started when I got into makeup, which was Summer 2009. I had absolutely NOTHING to do over the summer but work. So in my spare time I go onto YouTube and watch random makeup videos.
Circle Lens:
So that summer, most of the asian beauty gurus I was watching all had circle lens! So I jumped on the band wagon and got some for myself. I got both of my lens from prettyandcute.com. (they don't sell circle lens anymore, but they are having a short sale RIGHT NOW. $17 a pair!! They need to get rid of them so go check it out if you're interest!! If you're not interest in the circle lens, GO THERE ANYWAYS! They sell really cute stuff and asian brand makeup!!) I got the GEO Angel brown and blue color in my prescription. (I'm nearly blind.) When I first got it, I was SOOO excited!! You guys have no idea. Lol. So, of course, I opened them and let them sit in contact solution for 6+ hours. The next day, I wore them while I was getting ready to go out. It takes me about an hour to get ready.
^I don't know if you could see it or not, but my eyes had already started getting the blood vessels on the side. This was literally after wearing them for an HOUR. The circle lens are super comfortable! I rather wear my circle lens than my regular contacts.
^This is my eyes the very next day! SUPER red!! I only wore the circle lens for a good three hours. And no, this is NOT pink eye. My eyes were just super duper red. This is me, literally waking up in the morning. Eh, even looking back at this picture makes my eyes hurt. :/
^This is my eyes after a couple of days...STILL red. No eye drops in the world helped me with the redness. It sucked! I was stuck with my thick nerdy glasses for a week!! :(The Aftermath:
so after my eye cleared up, i tried wearing them again a MONTH later...what happened?... the same red eyes for a week! That's when i knew circle lens weren't for me. :( I am so jealous to all of you guys out there that could wear it for the entire day and not get red eyes! Lol.
So has this happened to you? Please share! :)
