These are the biggest lenses I have ever bought. Got them on a whim because they came with free shipping. I had been eyeing this series for a while then. They are nice and big. Not as big as I had hoped they would be. Gosh, they seemed so big on the pictures and stuff. However, I'm still looking for something bigger (my endless search to find circle lenses big enough to satisfy me).

The color is not as vibrant as it seems. It's actually quite dark and you don't really see it unless you are in a place that is very well lit or taking a picture with flash. I was kind of disappointed in that. I was hoping for something a little bit more vibrant. But by chance that you do get the color, it is quite nice. I like how it is a little yellow in the middle. I think that's unique. I do like the limbal ring being visible so that's a pro.

These lenses actually aren't as comfortable as I hoped. They last maybe a few hours but definitely not as long as the other ones I have worn, which is pretty disappointing. I say maybe 6 hours, but definitely not longer than that. So I can't really wear them to school because I would never last through the day.



Like I said before, although my favorite color is green, I'm just not a fan of green lenses. It was too bad they didn't have my prescription of the sesame gray ones when I ordered. Oh well. I'm totally buying the gray ones next time.

-----update-----

Anyway, here are some side by side comparisons of the Princess Mimi Sesame Grey with the Princess Mimi Green Apple. I personally like sesame grey better, but if green lenses are your thing, green apple is a great choice!


Heterochromia? Lol I wish. I am wearing apple green in one eye and sesame gray in the other. Can you tell? I can barely tell. They do look very similar from far away, especially in dimmer settings. You can only really tell close up.

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.
