shamansha, your lenses look lovely<3 it looks kind of blue/green to me? Any closeup pics available?

hey guys~ i have a question
i got my tutti gray circle lenses like a few months ago,,
but i never got around to opening them o__o..

i was inspecting the box today andd i saw this


expiry date 2009/05

does that mean i can wear them until that date? or whaa?

im nub at this >//<

you can only wear your lenses for one your after you open it.
that date means thats the date your lenses OFFICALLY expire.

so for example say 10/11/2009 is your expiration date.
you open them on 07/01/2007, you can only wear your lenses until 07/01/2008
if you open your lenses at 06/01/2009, it means you can only wear it until the expiration date 10/11/2009

i hope this makes it clearer to you~ :]
well i'm assuming your lenses are 1 yr disposable though. lol ><

what if you wear it for longer then a year? what will happen?

ooooh ok i get it now. thanks~~ ^^

then you die, no really its just bad for your eyes thats why theres an expiry date.

aww i wan to get some now
these are the ones i like:

G&G black
tear grey
tutti black

I'm wondering which is better

Opti-Free Express or Opti-Free Replenish or are they the same?
Are the Opti-free Express Rewetting eyedrops good?

Also, do you have to get the contact cases that are for soft contact cases?
My friend says they're the same.

Just making sure. Thanks

ye this circle lense make our eyes more big^^
so nice if we wear them~~

we will be more pretty...kdkd

I searched for reviews on drugstore.com

It seems their customers like Opti-Free RepleniSH Multi-Purpose Disinfection Solution more than the Express one.
For eyedrops, I use RepleniSH Rewetting Drops

Yeah, the cases are the same

Btw, you can get 12 of them for free here

http://www.bauschwearandcare.com/program_benefits.php

Just fill that out, and you'll receive them in 3-4 weeks. No strings attached.

Hahaha thats awesome! I needed more contact cases for my circles and you rescued my day!

aw man i don't live in the states : ( i wnat free cases darn it=[

hmm. Got my Dueba Greys a few days ago. Due to some issues, I haven't had time to pop them in until just a few minutes ago. They're not bad. I get chronic dry eye and have mild astigmatism. Not enough to make me need to wear toric (special astigmatism-corrective) lenses, but enough to make my lenses uncomfortable some of the time.



I took closeup pictures, but photbucket isn't letting me resize them right now, so here's the link: http://s98.photobucket.com/albums/l263/nan...nt=DSCF2702.jpg

It has a weird circle of brown that rings the inner part of the blue-grey. It looks WAY more blue in real life.... but i'm loving them. It's a "there's something different about you, but can't put my finger on it" look.

if your lenses flip over
is it possible to still wear them..cause you don't know?
or they'd feel really uncomfortable?

^

sometimes I do that and you can usually tell because it feels uncomfortable. Your eyes will probably start watering and you'll take them out and flip them the right way ^^

^
^
you can't NOT notice that they're flipped
cus it feels like there's something poking your eye, no matter how much you rub it doesn't go away
yeah and you start tearing
so it's veryyyyyyyy uncomfortable.

I tried searching for the youtube link on how to put on contacts & how to take off... but I cant find it. Can anyone provide it for me? Thanks. And i'm supposed to soak my new contacts for atleast 24 hours when I first get it right? Is it okay to include the original watery substance that was in the contact package into your contact case with the new solution or do I have to take out the contacts by itself and soak it into new solution? Do you guys get what i'm trying to ask? Its kind of complicated -___- Sorry! I'm new to this whole contact stuff =/

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07Pd4nK61Rs
Try that. That's exactly how I put in my contacts. Don't be too scared though; the first few times you try to get them in will always be a weird/interesting/scary ordeal. I was tearing and crying and FREAKING OUT (I think your eyes naturally resist having your fingers so close to them, so they instinctively close) when I was trying to get them in the first time. It took ages... so it's okay if you don't get them in your first try.

Oh, and taking them out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n3sxd9LZkg
There's a few other methods (some people just slide them out), I find that this "pinch" method is the fastest and the easiest. For some people with long nails though (the guy in the video doesn't have long nails and mine are super short too) that will be difficult. So if you have long nails or tips or something... You can slide it out.. uhh... i don't really know how to do it and I never bothered trying because it just sounded weird.
this way's kinda cool too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxQRCjtqO9A
Actually, I think I'm gonna try that tomorrow when I take them out. See if it works.

Use new solution. If you used the original solution, why would you have to soak it for 24hrs? You could just wear them right out of the package.

nah, it's very uncomfortable, the lense will fall out, won't stay centered/move around.

hey nanshi. does this method hurt your conea or anything? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxQRCjtqO9A
the one you posted. others cna answer too! (: im getting my circle lenses soon and it's just helping me in a head start to know what to do and if it hurts or is bad for the eye! thanks!

Is it just me ...people with single lids DONT look nice in circle lenses.
Prove me wrong.-=X

Alrighties~ I guess I'll just stick to Express for now since I have another unopened bottle.
I'll buy the RepleniSH when I'm out.

Thanks bunny! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!

Now I don't have to waste $6 for a contact case. =x

blisskiss looks reallyy nice in circle lenses. :]
http://www.soompi.com/forums/index.php?s=&...t&p=5274325

But I guess it just varies from single-lidder to single-lidder. I think it looks adorable sometimes.

^ it only looks good if the owner has eye makeup on.

yeah, i've noticed people with single lids can't pull off circle lenses without makeup

however, people with double eyelids can still look gorgeous with circle lenses even without makeup (usually only if the lenses are brown/black though)

^ and this is making them feel better how? Makeup or no makeup, its still skin surrounding just your eye, making it look so bare and your circle lens even more visible and fake.

I think that very first comment whoever posted about single lidders don't look good is wrong about that. I seen some pictures of double lidders and they look more queer than the people with single lids. I think it just all depends on the face and how you look with it, just because you have double eyelids doesn't automatically mean you can pull it off because lets not forget the other half of your face right, you have the nose and the lips and so on so forth if you guys get my drift. But of course at the end, it is all about personal preference right?.. Like some of you have mentioned... *ahem

I'm not trying to offend anyone here but that first comment might have offended someone, not me but I'm just speaking behalf of the other circle lens users. =|

Ps. this thread IS widely open to the public and a lot of people reads it so it is kinda mean to all sudden generalize one's look with everyone elses.

Umm... no? It doesn't hurt at all. The contact should pop right on out as long as you do it gently. There's a learning curve to it, but generally, it's really easy.



I would almost resent that ...

Cause I have single eyelids and so does one of my best friends, and we both like wearing circle lenses. I think it just depends on the lens. I, for one, am not ever going to wear the "crazy bright" pale colors because I KNOW that those won't look good on me (those require glue and makeup to pull off). So I go for those neutral and more natural tones: the browns and the greys. I think it's just about the whole look. My pictures are inaccurate, because in real life, the gray actually is not that noticeable... my eyes just look paler. I saw another picture of a girl in Tutti Grays and she looked SUPER pretty and she had single-eyelids too.

If I WAS to wear super bright lenses (like the Nudys or other I tried on a pair of Acuvue 2 Colors in Sapphire), yes, I do look weird and bad and freaky... but generally...

Just like with anyone... it all varies. I've seen people in Taiwan with dark blue circle lenses and double eyelids and she just looked weird. so please don't generalize. it offends a bit.

Moody : Hmmm... i think it all depends on the person.... You cant really generalise like that...
I wear lenses... and is also single eyelidded... and i think they look quite good ... (hopefully... unless people have been LYING to me... O__O")
Of course.. i only have the darker colours... but i still think that s.e (single eyelidders) should also be able to pull off light colours =D
Im still not put off getting nudy blues =D

HAHAH... that comment has fired up all the single-eyelidders ^^

- HaiKi

^i think it depends on how "wide" your eyes are, if you know what i mean.
Single lidders can look good with circle lenses too, but if their lids cover part of their eyes, it looks like their whole eye is black.
GENERALLY, circle lenses flatter double lidded eyes....

i usually use BT02 or clear lenses from Encore. Or just glasses if I'm lazy


posting a pic later....

for me, i slide my contact to the side before i "pinch" it out.
just in case



i dunno, i think i look fine with CLs =X

i was going to post later on with myself wear other lenses that i have, but i'd like to represent the single-lidders that "we can sooo rock the lenses" >=D
blisskiss and SweetnSour012 are examples that they look great with them~

^ you look great.

i dont know why ppl have to bring down single lidders - anyone should be able to feel good in contacts if they want



i dont wear circles anymore.
cause my white friends kept saying they make me look fake =PPP

hey guys i have a question, which gray contacts look better? tutti grays or nudy grays? my friend has aryan gray but it's hardly noticable, i want something that looks pretty and noticable and tutti grays do look nice( i think in some pictures ), but i heard they don't look exactly gray and they're uncomfortable o_O? anyways which looks prettier? or if so any other brand that has good gray contacts.

blisskiss is one of the few that Ive seen that could pull it off.
Makeup pretty much or because shes pretty to begin with.


Come back with some eye makeup.
And I cant really tell cause "someone" said I cant generalize without seeing the rest of your face.
Wheres your nose lips.
Then Ill tell you if you look fine or not.-=/

[removed by mod]

For those tht are offended..just like you guys have your say, I have mine.
Not everyone will sugar coats things.
If your going to let my comment offend you [over the net] then you have a problem.

^^^^^ thats really wrong don't link another persons picture................and say they don't look good with circle lens..


i have single lids and i think i look good with circle lens....

Moody, that's really horrible. Don't link people's pictures and say they don't look good. =[
if you say, "don't get offended", then just don't put up the picture.

besides, I think she looks pretty good with it. =D She'd look better if she smiled though. ;]

wrong ?

Isnt that why people post their pics up?For people to comment on it? To see if looks good on her/him
or for others see if it will look good on themselves?

If not ,then I must be blind cause I see a lot of " I just got these lenses,i like them .what do you think?"
If the person doesnt want any response to a pic or use as an example for another, then dont post it.

ohh... I love violet, blue and black!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! makes me want to get one now...

Moody: no need to be harsh, really....
I don't have prominent double lids, but that doesn't mean i can't pull off circle lenses.
If someone were to post up a pic of me and say what you did, I would be very upset, no doubt.


ANYHOW, since some of you like to see full-face pics, here's my BT02 (brown, obviously)

(sorry for the huge pic)

^ That's pretty, and very natural. I wouldn't have thought you were wearing one.

*editted; not worth it*

Trishaa01 U look soo good with them =D very natural and pretty =]

xxj3zz1kuhxx your very prettyy and those lens look stunning on youu(;;; are you wearing the same lens in both picturess?? (;

i KITTY x3 =)* all i gotta sayy is wow. you said it all sistahh<33 ahahaa..i love itt~ and i dig your tutti brownss(;;

..........deleteeeeee

Trishaa01: ^ woow you're so pretty 0_O That's a very nice colour too - it suits you so well! ^^

oh yeah...update on the GEO water content issue - no reply from the company, even though I emailed them almost two weeks ago. Their lack of customer service is annoying.

Also, I received my GEO angel lenses a few days ago and turns out the water content on the box is 38% just like on the vials. And there's no way that the Angel lenses are not legit, because they even come with a extensive care manual and contact information printed inside the carton. So I guess that the true water content of GEO lenses is 38% despite what they claim on the website. =/

Moody, that's nice that have an opinion or whatever, but please, do us all a favor,
and keep the mean comments to yourself. =o=

I agree with KITTY x3 =)*, she did not whatsoever asked for any input,
and nanshi kindly posted up the picture of herself when I asked for some
reference on the BT01 brand.

please don't criticize when she didn't ask for any comments/advice. :\
&& going overboard by saying "that's not too hot", is kind of over the limit, don't you think?
You could've just said, "It doesn't look too good on you, you could try _______ <---insert brand of lens there"
oh, and yay for Dr. Phil. Want me to go Oprah on you too? o_O

I didnt think your comment was nice .. and didnt you just say


harharhar* and your oprah com bac is cheesyyy .
Have a nice day-=]

you were being mean first
And thanks~, I like it too.

*deleted

.................................

^I didnt even read that crap but the first sentence. If it doesnt offend nor do you care then stop writing me essays to read.Harharhar* =]

~ BunnyliciouS ~

thank you~
i avoided the super black or neon blue lenses, cuz i thought they would look scary and fake.

xxj3zz1kuhxx

thanks hun~~


HERinsinuation

thanks!~
they look a lot like my natural eyes, except for the dark ring, hahah....
i had grey lenses before, but they didn't really go well with my skintone.

Moody
thank you for the compliment.....i'm glad you like it =]

but can we please stop this argument? its quite pointless, and the thread will get closed
