Maxim Contact Lens - Cocoa!


I will say this again... I AM a huge fan of MAXIM contact lens! They are super COMFORTABLE and, most of the colors are gorgeous... I won't say all, but most...

Here's a review on the big eyes (blue box) lens in cocoa!


I love the cocoa color. It looks subtle, but it has that kind of enhancement effect which I like. Its not like in your face kind, and I feel that it looks better than Freshkon brown series... The colors do show off in ordinary lightings...


Over exposed picture, but you get it. It looks lighter when there's more light...


As you can see, the up-closed picture looks kinda pink or orangey. I have to admit, it does appear orange tinted on my eyes... But I have to say, it looks very nice! The limbal rings are there to enhance your eyes and it does give a slight enlargement which I like.

Here's some of the shots using my samsung galaxy S4.



Overall, I LOVE these lenses. Yes, it is comfortable. It is so comfortable that I can wear it as long as 10 hours straight. I don't have to use any eye drops!

The design of the lens are quite alright, but the colors are very gorgeous!

Other maxim contact lens colors :-

1. Gray

2. Kiwi Green.

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.
