Dream Eyes Contact Lenses from SpookyEyes!

I have a review I am pretty excited about today - these are fun contact lenses, as in they are colored and not prescription - but they've also got me excited for another reason. When I was about 12, I tried contacts and became very frustrated because I couldn't get them in. I gave up and never wanted to try them again, as I freaked out about having to touch my eyes. I was a little hesitant to do this review because I couldn't guarantee that I'd be able to wear them. Well guess what? Maybe I was just too young before, because it literally took me 5 minutes to get these in.

The contacts are by Dream Eyes, but they are from SpookyEyes.com, where they have a variety of colored/crazy contact lenses. 

The ones I have are called Hulk Eye Contact Lenses (because, why wouldn't I pick ones that were named after The Hulk? haha) and they come in separate little disposable packages like this:

Mind you, these are year-long wear lenses, so if you take good care of them they will last you an entire year. Here is a close-up of one of them before I put them on:

So the moment of truth: I figured out a simple way to get them in, and once I realized it was a piece of cake, I've decided I need to make an appointment with my eye doctor to get measured for contacts. I was thinking about it, and with everything I do with makeup and my YouTube channel, it is going to be so much easier to just have contacts and not have to rely on my glasses all the time. Sometimes I have to deal with the glare from the lighting on my glasses, but the biggest thing that bugs me is when I do tutorials. I can never see unless I'm right up against the mirror when I apply my makeup, and that makes filming hard because I tend to dip out of frame a lot. Having contacts for this, and even for day-to-day when I'm doing my makeup, is going to make it so much easier. 

So, I will shut up about my contact lens revelation, and go on to tell you about these Hulk lenses:

I naturally have brown eyes, and these lenses make them an awesome shade of green.

You can still see a little bit of my natural eye color in the center, which gives it a cool effect. Now, I have astigmatisms in both eyes, so I tend to see little edges of the green. But again, these aren't prescription/were not fitted for my eyes, so there's that. Aside from the fact that my eyes watered a bit when I first put them in, they didn't really bug me too much. They are soft lenses (I guess I should mention that!) and they're very easy to put in and remove. Trust me, I never thought I'd be able to wear contacts and I got them in and out without a problem!

Here's a comparison shot of my natural eye and the Hulk eye!

I wish that I had tried some contacts sooner, because I can't believe I went so long complaining about glasses when I could have been doing the contact thing all along. Geeze. Well, live and learn, I guess! I'm glad I had the opportunity to try these out because I'm for sure going to look into some prescription ones now!
