MesmerEyez Coloured Lenses - Review

Hello everyone, I hope you are well.

Today I'm going to be reviewing some coloured contact lenses by MesmerEyez.

I have always been interested in how makeup can look on different eye colours and have wanted to experiment with  coloured contacts for a while now, I have seen a few beauty bloggers and many beauty vloggers on YouTube using coloured lenses in their makeup tutorials and it looks like a lot of fun!

I decided to try out 'Sea Green' from the MezmerEyez Naturalz collection. I recieved the coloured lenses (which can be used for 3 months), a lenses case and a 60ml bottle of cleaning solution. An instruction leaflet is also included which provides all of the information you need to use the contact lenses safely and correctly.


The lenses can be purchased on colouryoureyes.com from £4.99. They offer free UK postage and shipping as well as free international shipping on orders over £10. Contact lenses that can be used from 1-3 months also come with a bottle of free cleaning solution and lens case.

What they say - "Our mission at MesmerEyez is to be the company that best understands eye colour change. To lead, innovate and bring our customers the most comprehensive choice with the best quality and comfort."

This was my first experience of trying any type of contact lenses so I was a little apprehensive about putting them in at first but I watched the online tutorials of how to put them in and remove them which can be viewed here, I have to say this really helped me out and I found that the contact lenses were easy to use. Mesmereyez.com has a FAQ section, so if there is anything you are unsure about you can read more about the lenses before you buy them.

I was very surprised that the lenses covered my natural eye colour! I have heard of many people who have problems with lenses not making any difference on their eye colour but I didn't have that problem with these lenses. I have dark brown eyes so I was unsure whether the lenses would make any change to my eyes but they covered my eye colour perfectly without looking artificial and fake. These lenses are fabulous and the colour selection is fantastic, I will definitely be ordering more!

Pros
  • Great colour variety
  • Huge selection and style of lenses
  • Soft, comfortable lenses
  • Easy to use
  • Covers my natural eye colour perfectly

Cons
  • My eyes did feel slightly dry after wearing the lenses for a long amount of time. (I don't think this is a problem with the product itself but more because I am not used to wearing contact lenses)

Directions/tips for use
  • Wash and dry your hands before using the lenses.
  • The lenses should be rinsed and soaked for at least 6 hour each time they are removed to ensure they have been disinfected thoroughly.
  • Carefully rinse each side of the lens for at least 5 seconds making sure all the debris and deposits are removed.
  • Place lens in the correct compartment of the lens case that is provided and fill with fresh solution.
  • Allow to soak for the amount of time stated.
  • Before inserting lens into eyes rinse thoroughly and discard any left over solution.
  • Refresh the solution in the lens case every 7 days when lenses are not in use.
Overall I enjoyed trying out the lenses and have to say my first experience using coloured lenses was amazing! The website offers a variety of colours and styles of lenses, there is definitely something for everyone whether you're wanting something for fancy dress or even if you are simply wanting to try out a new eye colour. I had so much fun playing around with different makeup looks and styles with these lenses.

I would recommend these lenses to anyone, whether you are trying them out for the first time or if you are a more experienced user of lenses.

ASOS Treats!

Hello everyone, I hope you are all well!

University work has been taking over my life lately as there are so many work deadlines to get out of the way before I can relax and go home for Christmas.

So... to encourage myself to battle through my assessments, I decided that I would treat myself to some goodies from ASOS! I don't normally share fashion related items on my blog but these pieces are so cute and I wanted to share them with you!

Have you treated yourself to anything from ASOS lately?

Matte nails with shiny spots! ♥

Hello everyone,

Here is a nail look I came up with when playing around with matte nail polish.


To achieve this look I used Rimmel Pro Matte Finish Nail Polish over a black Barry M Nail Polish but any black nail polish will work just the same!

Directions
  1. Apply your base coat. (When using a dark or bright colour I always apply a base coat, I used Sally Hansen Double Duty Base & Top Coat. A clear nail polish can be used as an alternative if you don't have a base coat)
  2. Paint all your nails with a black polish of your choice and wait until it is thoroughly dry.
  3. Next apply an even layer of the Rimmel matte polish (or matter polish of your choice) and let dry, you will notice that the shine starts to fade out of your nail polish. 
  4. When the matte polish has dried use a nail tool and the same black polish and begin to add the dots onto each nail. (if you don't have a nail tool, use a toothpick instead) Allow to dry.
  5. Now you're ready to show off your nails!
I really like this look, it's an easy, stylish way to add texture to your nails!
