Freshlook ColorBlends – Brilliant Blue Contacts

As most of you already know, I’m in this FreshLook competion vying to be the “Next Big Thing”. And as a finalist, they are giving me 2 pairs of colored contacts. Any colors I want.

Since I’ve tried most of the colors when i was younger anyway, I picked the newer colors lah. The new colors they have in are:

Gemstone Green
Sterling Grey
Brilliant Blue

And I picked Sterling Grey + Brilliant Blue. Was gonna leave for Tokyo, and the nice folks at Ciba Vision gave me my contacts early. : D Yay new colors to match my new hair for the trip!

So today i went out to collect the contacts from Ciba Vision.

I think i’m supposed to do a write up, but i’m not sure what i’m supposed to write about but since i’m so excited about the colors anyway, I’ll just write something by myself lah! Okay someone just called me and told me I have to do a write up while i was in the middle of writing this.

Anyway. I came home and immediately i took off my brown ones and put on the blue ones!

CHECK OUT THE BLUE!!!!!!!

OMG FAB!

This is a pair of FreshLooks Colorblends contacts, in the shade “Brilliant Blue”.

The blue doesn’t really match my hair’s shade of blue, It would have been better with my blonde fringe but OMG! It’s absolutely gorgeous lah! I know it looks a little stark and unnatural (got people’s eyes so blue one ah) but i think it’s a really great attention grabbing color. It looks totally awesome on Xiaxue.

I would totally use this color if i were ever cosplaying as a blue eyed character.

And oh, it makes my eyes look bigger than the brown ones. See:

Okay i think that looked a little scary and weird. I’m not Yuna afterall.

The boyfriend scrutinized me and said it looks natural. I think so too! Being a long time contact lens wearer, I know that some colored contacts can be quite uncomfortable. Esp those in the older days. But this is quite easy on the eyes, and it doesn’t block my vision like how the others did. Just to play safe though, since i’ll be in cold cold 5-degree Tokyo, i should be dripping eye drops pretty often just so it’ll be more comfortable for my eyes.

Thanks Ciba Vision/Freshlook!

I’ll blog about the Sterling Grey one at a later time, perhaps when I’m in Tokyo! Wish i had gemstone green to try out too!
