Flex Wear Radiance 2: Sea Blue

Brand: Flex Wear
Series: Radiance 2
Color: Sea Blue
Diameter: 14.0 mm

These lenses were purchased from the Philippines. Somewhere in Metro Manila, not sure exactly where and what store but I think it would be somewhere in Alabang Town Center. I heard it is pretty cheap, cheaper than my old Freshlook contacts. I might guess for them to be around 600 PHP. I've been told that they originate from Korea and are a Korean brand but I'm not sure. I've tried looking them up but there isn't really much information on them.

They are branded as just normal colored lenses but they look larger than my old Freshlook contacts despite both having the same diameter. When compared, the colored part of these contacts extend out to the edge and have a dark black ring on the outside while the Freshlook contacts have a clear ring on the outside and the colored part is not as large.

Pros: Larger colored area so it does have a bit of an enlarging effect, though small. Remember my parents don't know I use circle lenses so the fact that they bought this for me means I don't have to hide this from them. They are very comfortable and I can wear them for a full day. Also, these last for six months.

Cons: It's not a very bright blue. It's actually quite dark so the blue isn't really that noticeable. I mean, the point of getting colored contacts, in my opinion, is to make them noticeable.

All in all I still like them. Plus, I'm not the one that buys them so I shouldn't really complain. It kind of reminds me of the Neo Vision Queen Blue from their Queen 4 tone series.

Base Curve: 8.60
Replacement Period: within 12 months

I was excited at first getting these because they boasted a 16.50mm diameter with a 17.50 mm effect. I had been looking for lenses bigger than my Geo Princess Mimi Green Apple and I was hoping these would do the trick. Wrong! I soon find out that these are only 14.5 mm and noticeable so. Compared to my Princess Mimi lenses, they are obviously smaller. That was pretty disappointing. Also, they make me look a bit cross eyed sometimes, like my eyes are looking in different directions.

However, what I do love about these lenses are the vibrant color. I get so many compliments because people just instantly notice my eyes. Yes, they are that blue! They are just so beautiful in any kind of light. Because they are smaller, they look very natural even with the most minimal makeup. Also, they are super comfortable. Great for everyday use.

The blue shows through in any type of light. I've been camera whoring with these the most, obviously. I have the puffy 3 tone gray ones unopened still so I'll see which color I like better. But definitely, I would consider buying these lenses again.

Freshlook Contacts

Freshlook contacts are my old colored contacts. I don't have them anymore. I forget how long they are supposed to last but I'd say no more than three months of continuous wear. They are pretty comfortable though. Sometimes I forget I have them in and accidentally fall asleep, then wake up in the middle of the night confused because I can see clearly. The longest I've worn them is three days straight. By the way, you shouldn't do that. Don't follow my example. That's a terrible thing to do to your eyes. But if it does ever happen, they stayed in quite comfortable in those three days.

So I had a total of four colors of these contacts. These were the ones my mom bought me from the Philippines. They were pretty cheap, in my opinion.

These are the gray ones. I really like these. I wore them almost all the time.

These are the green ones. Oddly enough, these weren't my favorite even though my favorite color is green. They just don't look as good as I had hoped. Green eyes aren't really my thing anyway.

Hazel...

Yeah, I didn't really like these ones. They were basically a light brown. They did look kind of yellowish in the sunlight. But yeah, I have no photos whatsoever of me wearing this color. I guess I didn't like it that much.

These were my favorite. The color is sapphire blue and I picked them out myself. They were awesome. As you can see, the colored part is pretty small. You can kind of see my iris peeking out on the edges.

That's it for my colored contacts from the past. I still keep colored contacts because I wear them when I'm at home. I don't want my parents knowing I have circle lenses (I'm such a rebel). I'm sure my mother would not approve at all.
