The Secret Is in The Eyes (Circle Lens Review plus Giveaway!!)

It is no secret that circle lenses are the bomb in nowadays' Asian make up. I don't really know when it began, but I started using them since 2010 and I still AM a big fan until now. And since a lot of people have been asking about my lenses, here goes:

Why circle lenses?

• They come in various styles and colors to complement so many different make up styles out there

• Some of them have powers (minus and plus) too, so you, yes you with your cute glasses over there, can also use them to replace your glasses sometimes and surprise yourself by trying out some new looks with these circle lenses ^^

• They especially make your eyes appear bigger, rounder and livelier (read: younger and cuter*)

*When we grow up, all our body parts also grow up, including our face. But newborn babies' eyes are already about 70% of their adult size. That's why it seems like babies have bigger, rounder eyes and as they grow up, that feature slowly disappears:

Now let's see the comparison pic below:

Ahh, very interesting, right? I mean, it's so amazing how a pair of circle lenses could easily accomplish what other make up tools can't! Okay, I also used lashes etc. on the pics wearing those lenses, but I believe you can see through that by simply comparing the diameter, color and pattern of the lenses to my naked eyes' irises. :)

That being said, I still like going out without circle lenses, but for photoshoots, hands down, they're definitely my magic make up tool. Okay nuff said, let the pictures do the talking. :D

Comfort

Regarding the material (2-HEMA), I'm no scientist, so I'd just use this email I got from my sponsor (B-Eye Korean Hyper Lens a.k.a. Sparkling Chix) to enlighten you:

Loose translation: B-Eye uses 2-HEMA for their lenses while other contact lenses manufacturers use HEMA as their material. HEMA is a material that should be used for Hard Contact Lenses, not Soft Contact Lenses. Therefore, B-Eye lenses are flexible and thin so it is very comfortable to use, both in air-conditioned room or for outdoor use. B-Eye can be used up to 12 hours without eye drops, although we strongly recommend to keep using eye drops during usage to maintain our eyes' oxygen supply.

I couldn't agree more to the last piece of advice: "keep using eye drops during usage" because even though the lenses are comfortable compared to other lenses I've tried, my eyes are very dry in nature, so I have to regularly use eye drops whether I'm using lenses or not. I keep my eye drops everywhere: on my computer desk, in my bag and in the bathroom ^^. Other than that, Sparkling Chix's lenses ARE comfortable and they never cause me any irritation. 

TIP: Never wear contact lenses when you sleep and always remember to cleanse them well, before you insert them in your eyes and after you use them. Here's a step-by-step how to use and how to cleanse your lenses (with pics).
