Maxim Contact Lens

In Big Color Eyes - GRAY!


This is probably the most decent shot after several takes, in very bright lighting. I had to use the light that is shinning outside from my house.

I can't remembered when I had these. Its probably very long time ago. And the main reason why I didn't do the review any sooner, because I find that the color is very boring and not that obvious.


This is probably how it looks like, at the most natural set of lighting. Very safe if you want to wear this at work!

Of course, I am a huge fan of MAXIM contant lens because it is SO COMFORTABLE! I can wear this for more than 8 hours and it does not even stick to my eye balls! And I don't even need to use eye drops.

The only flipside is the color. I really think that its just TOO dark for my liking.

For enlargement wise, its only 14.0, but I feel it makes my iris slightly bigger. So, i'm okay with the size. Here's a close up.


That's the pattern, and it has quite an obvious limbal ring. That's why your eyes will look slightly bigger! But I swear, the color is not really that obvious!


Will I buy these again? Probably when I start working next year. But for color enhancement wise, NOPE.. I'll rather choose grey lens that are more obvious like FRESHLOOK colorblends.

Green lens

So, I bought these lens way back this year. I can't remember when exactly but I was in Batam.



I can't remember how much it cost, but what I like abt the lens is because of the color as well as the details of the lens at the limbal rings... It has SPIKES at the edges of the lens. LOVE it!

That's the brand - Qrious.


I really love the color and it looks amazing! Its very vibrant and the color suits my skin tone a lot!
BUT, the comfort level is so ANNOYING! I wore it for 4 hours and it hurts like a bitch!


I remembered I was out the other day and the lens keep shifting and ended up hurting my right eye that I had to take it out! ANNOYING much!


So, yes.. This is probably why I don't trust contact lens that does not have a substantial branding... Sucks to the max!

Freshlook colorblends green review


For the month of October, I decided to pop this baby IN! Freshlook Colorblends in GREEN!...

Honestly, the color is VERY dark on my eyes. You can't hardly see them if you are indoors. But it looks pretty when you are outdoors.


This shot was taken without flash, but during the DAY, when the sun was SUPER bright and as you can see, the green lens are rather dark in color.


Personally, these lens are very safe for work. Its very dark, and people won't even tell that you are wearing them. My friend who usually takes notice of my eyes, can't even tell whether I was wearing colored lens and she had to look closely cos yes, it is that DARK green.

So, I'm not a fan of its color, and neither AM I a fan of the comfort... So I won't be purchasing these babies ever again. I would rather buy the pure hazel, which is SO much lighter in color!


For the color lens to be obvious, you have to use a lot of bright lights or simply go outdoors instead of staying indoors, cos the color won't show that much! ;)

Freshlook colorblends GRAY review

A bit of color contact lens history.. I started wearing them when I was like 17, and I stopped when I started working. I LOVE colored contact lens back then and I remembered that my first colored contact lens were from FRESHLOOK Colors in Gray.

Well, they don't have that anymore and currently features the Freshlook Colorblends series.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Gray/Grey colored contact lens. Personally, it suits Asian skin tone very well.


I love the color and details of the lens itself! It has like 3 different tones. Loves it!


It doesn't have that thick limbal ring which some of the colored contact lens users preferred, and though I have to admit, I'll prefer to have a slight obvious limbal ring for this color.

My reviews:
COMFORT (7.5/10)
I would say, its better than the Freshlook Colorblends Pure Hazel. Weird actually, but for comfort wise again.. NOT A FAN! :P

COLOR/DESIGN (8/10):
I absolutely ADORE the color! It brings out your eyes which somehow made it sparkle! My close friends told me that its very subtle and looks really amazing. 

During the night, its not that obvious, unless you are taking a picture using flash. But for a day wearer, its absolutely gorgeous! The gray blends very well with those users who owns dark or practically black colored eyes!

And no, these lenses doesn't enlarged your pupils' eyes. 


If you are using those Digital camera, you don't have to worry. The colors will be very obvious during the shoots.

If you are using iPhone or like myself a Samsung galaxy S4, the colors turned out quite well! I'm surprised!



Will I be buying this color again? Not sure. If I have another gray lens which is better in comfort, I won't come back to Freshlook. But the color is simply stunning! A huge fan of the color, not the comfort.

f(x) - rum pum pum pum

Female KPOP group, F(X) spotted with colored lenses from their video Rum Pum Pum!


Krystal is seen wearing aqua or turquoise colored lens. She looks good in them!


She then switched it to brown for some of her personal video shots. I have to add, she still looks good in the turquoise colored. Don't you agree?


Amber, however was spotted wearing 2 different colors for her eyes. It makes her look stunning and it seems that she is able to carry off very well with the 2 different colored eyes look!


There are people with 2 different colored eyes which is also known as : heterochromia. As for Amber, her new hair color and her style fits perfectly with both brown and turquoise colored lens. I guessed she can't decide which color to use, and try them on in each eyes.

Good effort from her!

Their music here!

Freshkon Color Fusion in baby aqua is currently my new eye color for the month of August! ;)
And as usual, FRESHKON is very, VERY comfortable in my eyes.


Managed to grab these babies at VERY AFFORDABLE and really out of the sale kinda purchase! I got 4 pairs for the price of $60/-!!! THAT is like SUPER CHEAP!!!...

Where can you get cheap colored lens from Freshkon at such prices?!?!...


Honestly, I LOVE this color! Its a mix of turquoise and opaque blue... I find it more towards to bluish grey...


The color is simply gorgeous! :)

CAMWHORE time!




Matches my TEE very well...

Freshkon - Warm Hazel review

THIS is definitely BY FAR - MY NOT SO FAVOURITE colored lens!... If you are into Twilight Vampire kinda eyes, search : twilight contact lenses, YOU WILL probably want to grab these babies... Or better yet, when you want to dress up for Halloween, yes, PLS grab these!


IT is very OPAQUE and SUPER light... It can be seen like probably 10 metres across someone! When you see it closer, its even MORE SCARY!


I thought I would never use these lenses, but since I'm doing my part time job, and my BOSS is like SUPER cool when I wear colored lenses, I was like, LET'S just try these babies, since I saw reviews after reviews on the internet HOW most users WILL NOT buy or grab these colors EVER AGAIN!!! Which I totally have to agree...!

The main reason why I bought these was because it looks very light and bright and I thought I could pull it off, but I WAS SO WRONG!... Even when I went to work with them, my boss was like, "Did you wear those contact lens to scare the patients off?"

WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


But despite it all, as usual FRESHKON colored lens are super comfortable on me! Comfort level is a plus plus, but the colored is so ANNOYING that I only wear them when I'm at work, and I will take it off when I need to go into the COMMUNITY... its like, I WON'T BE CAUGHT dead with these colored lens on!

Aniways, since Halloween is like 3 more months, THOSE of you who stumbled upon this site/blog and is deciding whether you want to be a Vampire or a ZOMBIE or whichever scary creatures with these LIGHT, opaque, OVER the top brown, SHOULD grab these!!!

ITS FRESHKON color fusions - Warm Hazel.


I just need to add more white foundation and a lighter shade of colored to make me look more vampire-ish!... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA....


Hahahah.. Oh well, let see if I can wear these for at least a month, which I doubt so... I'll probably toss it away sooner than expected...

Oh wells...................

Eye Candy - Bulle (Blue Grey) Review

Soft lens shop: http://softlens-shop.blogspot.sg/2012/11/new-eye-candy-lens.html, is currently stocking its brand new Eye Candy, Blue Grey exclusively at Q0010!!! http://list.qoo10.sg/item/EYE-CANDY-CONTACT-LENS-BULLE-CLASSIC/407634915

I MANAGED to grab these babies way back in March 2013 and are using it currently.

If you are one of those who fancy those cute little black spikes on their contact lens, THESE babies are for you! The design is SO UNIQUE and it looks so natural in the eyes!!!


Look how gorgeous and subtle when I wear it!!!... and the COLOR is awesome! I would say, its more towards the "blue" side, but when you take pics with flash, it will turn out more "grey"....


It is made of Silicone Hydrogel and according to many website, it is one of the most comfortable colored lenses material out there!

But for me, I think my eyes don't really suit Silicone Hydrogel. Maybe I'm slightly allergic to it, because my eyes will look red after a few hours of wear. It starts off with extreme comfort, but after a few hours, I will notice blood shots on my eyes and I will be forced to take it out!

So far, FRESHLOOK colorblends has the same problem too! Freshlook uses phemfilcon A and I will have blood shot eyes if I wear it inside the air con room!

Funny, cos I don't experience any redness on my eyes when I used Geo lenses.

So I can't really tell and rate this product nor can I give a good review on these lenses, cos I can only wear it for a max of 4-5 hours! But as for comfort wise, it is COMFORTABLE, but I will notice blood shot in my eyes after 5 hours.

As for the color and design, I ABSOLUTELY ADORE it!... I LOVE the color and the black tiny spikes! It makes it so unique! Even my friends compliment that the lens look gorgeous!

Let the picture speaks for itself!


If you are looking for other brands that carries those kind of tiny black spikes on the edge of their lenses, you can try these lens.

Freshlook Colorblends Pure Hazel (part II)

I know the pictures did not turn out the way I wanted, and its not justifiable because I'm using my iPhone 4S. Ironically, a lot of people that I came across gave good feedbacks and commented that my eyes look very nice.

So I was wondering how come I did not see that when I looked in the mirror, because all I see, is a very dark green or brown at times.

Therefore, I took my trustworthy Nikon D5000 and began to shoot some pictures.


This is the lighting from my room, and of course, most of the lighting that I encountered most of the time. So the color is that accurate.


This is when I used the flash! The flash caught me by surprise actually. I just came out of the shower when I took that shot!


I honestly feel this shot is much better than the previous entry! And my eyes did not look or appear so tired! SO yes.. These are much better quality pictures!

Aniways, it is the 4th day that I'm wearing this lenses and I still have to admit that they are the most uncomfortable colored contact lenses that I've ever worn! I don't know! Ever since I've tried Geo lenses and Maxim Colored contact lenses, this pair is not even on par to comparison when it comes to comfort! It doesn't feel that it sting your eyes or anything, it just feel "uncomfortable" like you want to take the lenses out - kind.

Plus, I don't feel that my vision was sharp and it gives me quite a blur vision at certain time of the day, AND it makes your eyes feel tired. I don't know even know why.

Other than that, YESH, I am sold that the color is very natural and nice! It has that tinge of green and brown which I like, THOUGH, if its a little bit lighter, I WOULD love it even more!


Will I purchase this color again? I AM not so sure. The color is nice, but the comfort level is SO not in favour right now.

I'll think about it. If I can find another lenses that has this color, but slightly lighter and more comfortable, I'll go for that. As for now, I'll be flashing this colors for the next month or so.


It does not give any enlarging effect, even though the diameter is 14.5mm. Surprisingly for me cos Freshkon Alluring eyes is 14.2, but it makes my eyes appear bigger! SO, I'm not sure why these lenses do not give you an enlarging effect!

Some random shots:



Don't expect the colors of your eyes to be "prominent" when you use your iPhone or your camera phone. It won't show much. Even with a good digital camera, it won't show if the camera is rather far. 


If I have to choose between Freshlook vs Freshkon:-
Color wise : Freshlook wins
Comfort wise: Freshkon
Enlarging effect: Freshkon
Varieties: Freshkon
Natural looking: Freshlook

Why do I compare these 2 lenses? Because its very popular among Asians and colored contact lens users in Singapore.
