MYCOSMETICLENSES: GREEN CONTACT LENSES* REVIEW

So the team over at MyCosmeticLenses kindly sent me a package with a set of green contact lenses.


I tried taking photos of my eyes with my iPhone 6 but I just couldn't get the sharpness of a proper camera so, I took to the official mycosmeticlenses website and found the colours that matched (perfectly I might add!) the colour of my eyes before and after I inserted the contact lenses.

I'm not usually one for changing anything besides my hair colour, my nail colour and my style - which changes constantly, but I decided to try out Marnie's new contact lenses to see what it was like to actually have the eye colour I've always wanted!


Packaging:
The contact lenses arrived within one day of shipping and were packaged to perfection! Inside the package was a bottle of sterile saline solution (to clean the contact lenses), a contact lenses case, some instructions on how to clean and take care of them and a box containing the contact lenses (obviously).














Colour:



After struggling (but eventually succeeding) to stick the contact lenses in my eyeballs, I couldn't believe how amazing the colour was. The company definitely doesn't lie when they say that they look natural. They created a dramatic difference between my natural eye colour and the contact colour but, I could still see a hint of brown, which was perfect for me! As soon as my mum got home from, she noticed something was different about me but she couldn't pinpoint it. I pointed it out to her and she couldn't believe how natural and gorgeous they looked! (Not going to lie, I wish my eyes were naturally green - I was upset when I had to take the contact lenses out.)

Wear: 
The only thing I'm going to disagree with the company on is that they're easy to put in. If you're someone like me who has never worn contact lenses before, using these coloured contacts might be a struggle for you. But with a little perseverance and patience, you'll have gorgeous eyes in no time! Of course after I managed to get them in, my eyes were a little sore and red but this irritation went away as the day went on.

Insertion:
Like I said, I struggled putting the contacts in, but just do what I did and YouTube videos on putting in contact lenses... There's thousands out there!

Overall, I am incredibly happy with the contact lenses. The colour is amazing, the range of colours is mind blowing - there's a huge selection to choose from and it's a fun way to spruce up your look if you're looking for a short term change (and by short term, I mean 8 hours a day).
I'll definitely be purchasing more contact lenses in the future. I couldn't be happier with the outcome!

MARNIE SIMPSON CONTACT LENSES

The ever so beautiful Marnie Simpson of MTV's Geordie Shore fame, has switched up her eye colour with her new range of coloured contact lenses!

The Geordie lass entered the Geordie Shore house in the middle of series 7 and has since become a viewer favourite. Being an avid wearer of contact lenses on the show, Marnie has put together a range of contact lenses that are easy to apply and make you feel like a new person!

Marnie Simpson has partnered with MyCosmeticLenses, a company that sells non-prescription "plano" fashion coloured contact lenses. You should know however that they do not do anything towards improving your sight, they are simply a fashion accessory (and an amazing one at that!) and they're of the highest quality and are EC certified! Although the company has only been up and running for 6 months, they've become increasingly popular. Prices on the company's lenses start from just £12.99 with FREE post and packaging and with a life span of 1 year (from the first wear), this is a total bargain! 

Of course, there has always been a gap in the market for contact lenses, especially those which look natural and are comfortable to wear. These contact lenses are completely different to those we see in stores and online now! 

With a high water content of 42%, Marnie's coloured contact lenses are extremely comfortable to put in and take out, always hydrating the eyes. What Marnie specifically wanted for these contact lenses was for them to look as natural as possible. You can often find her wearing the contact lenses on the show (airs every Tuesday night at 10pm) and she looks absolutely stunning! 

I can't wait to try out these lenses! 

Marnie's contact lenses are available exclusively at:

BLACK IS THE NEW BLACK

I seriously deserve a smack on the hand. I can't believe I haven't posted in almost a month! But I'm back with a new OOTD! And seriously, the amount of colour in this outfit amazes me.







The other day, I ordered a pair of creepers from ASOS (£18... BARGAIN!) and since they arrived, I haven't taken them off! They're so comfortable! They are a little big even though I bought my actual shoe size but it's nothing a pair of insoles can't fix. The majority of my outfit is from Topshop (shocker!) 

SHOES (can't find the ones in black but here they are in grey)
BAG (from H&M - no longer available on the website!)
