]]>When it comes to changing your look, colored contact lenses are the easiest way to go. Not only are they easy to put on and remove, they are also commitment-free. If you do not like how they look, you are not stuck with them for an extended period of time. Simply toss out your colour contacts and try a new different pair. That said, extra care is also needed when wearing colored contact lenses. From getting your eyes checked to purchasing non prescription colored contacts or prescription colored contacts from reliable online stores, here are 5 things to you absolutely need to know before buying colored contacts.
1.Get your eyes checked beforehand
2. Buy colored contacts from reliable online stores
The rule of thumb here is to ensure that coloured contacts are being sold by online retailers who require a prescription. Buying contact lenses online can be difficult, especially when there are so many online stores and retail shops selling colored contact lenses at extremely affordable prices. Keep in mind that these are your eyes at stake – one wrong move and you will damage your eyes, potentially to the point of blindness. At LensVillage, we ensure that you already have existing prescription before you can purchase colored contact lenses.
3. Never use just any water to clean your contact lenses
Tap water, mineral water, distilled water, or even a homemade saline solution are BIG NO-NO'S when it comes to cleaning and disinfecting your colored contact lenses. This is because these liquids have the potential to contain micro-organisms or bacteria that will cause eye infections. Always use proper contact lens solution, because they are bottled in sterile containers that are bacteria-free.
4. Replace your contact lens case every three to six months
According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), you should replace your contact lens case at least every three to six months or as directed by your eye care provider. Unless you are using contact lenses that contain hydrogen peroxide, then you should always use the new contact lens case that comes with each new pair.
5. Do not wear your contact lenses overnight or to sleep
This should come as a no-brainer, but yet the amount of people who accidentally sleep with their colored contact lenses is astounding. Not only does sleeping with your contact lenses on increases the risk of infection, it also reduces the amount of oxygen to the eye, causing stress to your cornea. Should you find yourself accidentally falling asleep with your contact lenses, do not attempt to remove it immediately upon awakening. Moisten your eyes with some eye drops to avoid tearing out your cornea together with your coloured contact lenses, as they would be too dry.
Happy wearing contact lens! :)

1. Check-in a travel-sized contact lens solution bottle, but also pour some solution into a clear bottle to bring on the plane
In case your contact lenses itch or feel uncomfortable in the middle of your flight, you can always use hand sanitiser to remove and pop them back in (with solution, of course), instead of waiting for the plane toilet to be free. Remember that the plane is filled with germs, however, so be careful not to let your contact lens rest on any part of your tray table.
Daily contact lenses and monthly contact lenses are made thinner and more lighter, so they will be more comfortable for you throughout your journey compared to the others. PLUS, they are easier to dispose of. Remember to bring a couple of extra daily contact lenses when on your trip, so you will still have contact lenses to wear even if one tears or disappears accidentally.
If you are bringing dailies, prepare a clear box as well to put all your eye-related items in. This allows you easily see what you are reaching for when you are picking out a pair to wear, and also to keep them all neatly without them getting crushed by your other items (like your shoes, for example) during your flight. There could be a moment you need friend's help to take your contact lens from your suitcase.
5. Wear your glasses on the plane / check-in your glasses
If you are short-sighted and definitely need eyewear to see properly. If possible, try not wearing contact lenses on the plane. The air in the plane is extremely drying, which may irritate your eyes even further if you have contact lenses in. If you MUST have your contact lenses in on the plane, however, do remember to prepare additional solution or contact lens eyedrop. Do not leave your glasses at home, though - check them in on the flight or bring them on the carry-on so that you can have a pair to rely on to see.
6. Bring sunglasses
If the place you are going to is sunny, remember to bring your UV-protection sunglasses, as most contact lenses do not have UV-protection. Your eyes are your most important asset, so make sure you protect both them AND your contact lenses!
7. If you plan to swim, wear (prescription) goggles
Having a beach holiday, or planning to swim in the pool? If you plan to spend a long amount of time in the water, try avoiding wearing contact lenses. If you need to rely on contact lenses to see, why not get prescription goggles instead?
If you MUST have contact lenses in, you are advised to have daily disposable colored contact lens. Since you will be throwing them away at the end of the day, any bacteria that may have found its way to your lenses will have less chances of infecting your eyes. It is possible to go travelling with contact lenses, but make sure you keep these 7 tips in mind so that you do not end up choosing the wrong pair, or worse, be stuck with none! May you have a safe and enjoyable trip with contact lenses!
Be better prepared for this season with LensVillage!
]]>Blue eyes are one of the most striking eye colours humans can have. Bright blue eyes are immediately noticeable and attractive. Celebrities like Zac Efron, Emma Stone, Ian Somerhalder, and Taylor Swift are some of the stars that sport a pair of alluring blue eyes.
There’s just something about blue eyes that immediately grabs attention, especially because they are uncommon. Of course, while it is impossible for dark eyes to have natural blue eyes due to the high level of pigment melanin, luckily there are plenty of blue contact lenses to be found online, especially here at LensVillage.
Here are the 5 types of blue contact lenses you should wear at least once in your life - why not get a pair today to get your pretty blue eyes?
1. One-toned Opaque Colored Contacts
Twilight Blue and i.Fairy Moonlite Blue
The blue one-toned opaque-coloured lenses are great to wear when you want contact lenses that are noticeably blue, and yet still want people to focus on your pupils. With visibly structured “separations” between the blue colour and the dark colour of your pupils, you will seem extremely expressive with your eyes.
2. One-toned Bright Colored Contacts
Starry Eye Blue and i.Fairy Super Crystal Blue
Unlike the one-toned opaque-coloured contact lenses, these contact lenses do not have such a visible separation of iris and pupil. With a look that is all focused on the iris, this type of contact lens will have your eyes seem bigger than they really are.
3. Two-toned Colored Contacts
Geo Tri Color Blue CM-904 and Gothic 3 Tones Blue
Much like the above one-toned bright-coloured contact lenses, the only major difference here is that you will have people guessing the colour of your eyes as the two colour tones mixes evenly on the lens.
4. Three-toned Colored Contacts
Puffy 3 Tones Blue and ICK Gaudy Blue
As its name suggest, the three-toned colour contact lenses has three colours on the lens. In most three-toned colour lenses, however, the three colours do not mix as evenly as the colours on the two-toned lens. The blue will stand out more, while the other colours add to the illusion of a galaxy-like vision in your eyes.
5. Dark-rimmed Colored Contacts
Geo Berry Holic Blue CM-952 and Geo Angel Blue CM-832
Finally, there’s the dark-rimmed blue colour contact lenses. There’s a visible dark border surrounding your iris with these lenses, defining your irises even more when you wear this pair.

Nowadays, it is common to see contact lenses sold everywhere. While prescriptions are required to purchase corrective contact lenses in some countries, you can get corrective lenses at spectacle stores, in departmental stores, and of course, online as well. Of course, contact lenses were not always as common and as safe as they are to use now in 2017.
Here are 8 facts about contact lenses that you may not know about!
1. Leonardo da Vinci may have been the first person to write about the “idea” of contact lenses
In his book “Codex of the eye, Manual D” in 1508, Leonardo da Vinci wrote about how humans could alter the cornea of the eye by putting the head in a bowl of water, or wearing a water-filled glass hemisphere over the eye – almost something like the contact lenses we have today! While technology was not advanced enough to test da Vinci's theory fully in the 16th century, this can be said to be the beginning of contact lenses.
2. The earliest version of the first successful pair of contact lenses was tested on rabbits! Oh no!
German ophthalmologist Adolf Gaston Eugen Fick made the first successful pair of contact lenses from heavy blown glass. All scientific experiments requires testing, and in this case, Adolf tested the contact lenses on rabbits, before he tested them on himself and on a group of volunteers. While contact lens users nowadays can be grateful to Adolf for making such a breakthrough in contact lens advancement, do remember that the common person putting contact lenses on any animals nowadays is animal abuse.
3. Contact lenses were MUCH more expensive and fragile in the early and mid-1900s
Most people still favoured spectacles compared to contact lenses in the early and mid-1900s. After all, contact lenses then were expensive and fragile. There was even insurance to purchase for contact lenses, all because they were mostly used by wealthy people who could afford the contact lenses.
4. While there are many kinds of contact lenses on the market right now, there are basically two main types - soft contact lenses and hard contact lenses
Soft contact lenses are mass-produced, while hard contact lenses are custom-made to exact specifications. Hard contact lenses may be able to last for several years if taken good care of, while soft contact lenses are made to be disposed off easily once they “expire”.
5. Daily contact lenses and monthly contact lenses are made differently
You may think that there's almost no difference between daily contact lenses and the contact lenses that are made to be worn for a month, but think again! Daily lenses are made thinner and lighter, which means they are more comfortable to wear. It is not recommended that you wear your daily lenses for more than 24 hours, as the thin and light material means they cannot last through repeated usage.
6. Complications from wearing contact lenses affect about 5% of those who wear contact lenses yearly
As contact lenses are something you attach right on the very surface of your eyes, it’s no surprise that wearing contact lenses should be handled carefully. After all, one wrong move, and you could be like the 5% of contact lens users who experience negative effects. Such complications include dry eyes from keeping contact lenses in too long and sleeping in contact lenses (definitely a no-no!), red eyes from bacteria due to unsanitary habits, and more. So make sure you read how to look after your contact lenses and your eyes while putting contact lenses in, and you should have a pleasant and safe experience with using contact lenses.
7. Contact lenses can do more than just improve sight and being a beauty accessory soon
Ever heard of Google Contact Lens? Well, it’s a project by the search engine giant company to help people with diabetes measure their glucose level via tears. The lenses may alert the user about their low sugar levels by flashing a subtle light, reminding the diabetic about how they need to give themselves a glucose shot. Then there’s bionic contact lenses, which aims to help people make sense of their surroundings by having a virtual display appear in their field of sight. It’s like Google Glass, except now in contact lens format. Isn not technology great?
8. The contact lens industry is worth a lot of money globally
In the past two decades, the usage of contact lenses has exploded in popularity. Many people choose to use contact lenses over spectacles, especially those who were active in sports. It is estimated that the value of the contact lens market may reach over USD13.5 billion globally in 2020 – that's RM58,000,000,000! Clearly, with the rise of people needing vision correction and the fashion industry, contact lenses aren’t going anywhere. Find your cosmetic contact lens at LensVillage today!

Big and round eyes may have seen as pretty for you. However, they are people who have narrow eyes and therefore they appear to be smaller they peer out from behind the pronounced epicanthal folds. The typical is rarely the beautiful (my opinion). Was your attention drawn to Lady Gaga’s eyes when you watched her ‘Bad Romance’ music video? Her huge anime-style white googley- eyes was spotted and the big eye trend has started since then.
Circle lenses (or known as cosmetic contacts) are designed to make wearer look as though they have enlarged eyes. It changes the tone of the wearer’s natural eye color to sometimes an extreme degree. Your eyes absolutely appear sparkling, colorful, and more prominent. This gives wearer a doe-eyed appearance while this trend has gone mainsteam in Japan and South Korea for gyaru and ulzzang look respectively.
Circle lenses are worn to make your iris appear wider, which gives the illusion that you have big(ger) eyes. The center of these lenses are transparent, allowing you to see through them clearly (so make sure you order yours one with a prescription), but there is a color ring around this optical zone that extends out into the white part of the eye. Apparently, the illusion of a larger iris equates to the perception of a larger eye. Contact lenses offer a good alternative to eyeglasses yet probably not every contact lens may suitable for your eyes due to different base curve and diamater. The risk of wearing circle lens cannot be totally eliminated.
Colored contacts come in various colors, designs, diameters, base curves and styles. If you prefer to have a natural and laid back look, you would like Geolica Euro Lady Pearl Grey GS-A15 and Puffy 3 Tones Brown Lens << Look, we are having promotion for Puffy 3 Tones circle lenses now , $22 shipping inclusive <<. Some people would like to have a dramatic effect that even noticeable from far, then you should go for Kimchi Bambi Grey Lens and Pop.C Light Blue Lens. Cosplayers would like to have colored contacts to imitate the eyes of various animals or even anime characters, such as Geo Animation White CP-F1 for zombie, skeleton, witch and etc; Geo Crazy Cat Woman Lens SFY05 to accentuate cat cosplay. There are absolutely more ideas out there.

4. Kakashi Hatake
In ‘Team 7’, Kakashi Hatake is the leader and also a teacher to the other characters. Kakashi put his guidance position in a secretive and indifferent method. It is discovered that Naruto’s father was the one who trained Kakashi during the Third Great Ninja War and Kakashi gained his Sharingan Eye there from his teammates. The main highlight in the cosplay of this character is his Sharingan Eye and you can obtain it too by putting on the Geo Animation CP-K4 colored contact.
5. Haku
Haku is created as an orphan in this manga series and he was revealed to own a kind of ability due to genetic. He has the ability to combine the elements of wind and water to generate ice, which they call it ‘Hyōton’ in Japanese, meaning of ‘Ice Release’. Some cosplayers do go for the Kimchi Choco colored lens as to bring out the natural brown effect of Haku’s eyes.
6. Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi
Orochimaru is the main villain that looks pale and sickening in Naruto series. He is one of the most powerful ninja in his village and he always wanted to acquire immortality. Where Kabuto Yakushi is a spy who does not has any memory of his past, work as Orochimaru’s spy. Both of this characters shares a similar villain eyes that looks pretty much like the ColourVue Crazy Cat Eye contact lens.
7. Itachi Uchiha
Itachi Uchiha is from the Uchiha group, who has both his eyes in red that look like the Geo Animation CP-S1 contact lens, and he is also Sasuke Uchiha’s brother. Itachi is more of a villain in the series compared to his brother. But as the story goes on, his role as a villain was then softened.
8. Kisame Hoshigaki
Kisame Hoshigaki act as Itachi Uchiha’s partner. He is a character with a more distinctive appearance with whitish blue skin, gill on his face, and sharp teeth. Kisame owns a living weapon with a name of Samehada. Samehada is able to absord countless amounts of the other party’s chakra – an elementary energy source that is necessary for ninja. With a distinctive appearance, Kisame cosplayers can go for the ColourVue Crazy Whiteout colored lens and create the gill on the face with makeups.
9. Deidara
In the series, Deidara was a terrorist bomber, and then Itachi Uchiha invited him to join Akatsuki’s organization. But throughout the entire series, Deidara still has the hatred towards the Uchihas because of the Sharingan eyes of Uchihas. Deidara have 3 mouths, which the other 2 mouths are located on both his hands. Most of the cosplay uses make up to for the other 2 mouths on the palm, and they will not miss out the Bubble Grey colored lens too!
10. Sasori
Sasori is a partner of Deidara, he is also known as ‘Sasori of the Red Sand’. Sasori invented a way to transform bodies of humans into puppets secretly, that he can use most of the ninja skills they acquired when they are alive. He also transformed his own body, which effectively allows him to control over hundreds of puppet at the same time. With a pair of Geo Animation Red CP-F3 and a red hair, Sasori is not a very difficult character to play.
11. Obito Uchiha
Obito Uchiha, also known as Tobi, is the real leader of Akatsuki – an organization of criminal ninja. As a kid, Obito and Naruto was nearly the same, as they were both Kakashi Hatake’s teammate, and they have the same vision of being Hokage too. Things changed when one of the teammates were kidnapped by the Hidden Stone Ninja. Under the Uchiha’s clan, Obito Uchiha also have a pair of Sharingan Eye where cosplayers will go for the Geo Anitmation CP-K4 contact lens.
12. Hidan
Hidan is a follower of the Way of Jashin religion. This religion deems that if in a battle, there is no death or complete damage, it will consider as a sin. This also starts the formation of Hidan’s special abilities – consuming enemy’s blood and draws the Jashin’s symbol to create a connection with his enemy, once connected, any injury on Hidan’s body will also be reflected on his enemy. Hidan also has a pair of red eye but it is different from the Sharingan Eye. We would recommend opting for the Geo Animation CP-S6 colored lens for a better effect of Hidan’s character!
13. Kakazu
Kakazu’s partner is Hidan and he joined the Akatsuki organization by greed, wanting to obtain reward from the organization. Kakazu then later turned to a criminal ninja. He has the ability to reattach any body parts back because of the black strands on his body. The strands on his body also allow him to pierce in fleshes.

]]>There might be a lot of you who are constantly getting confused with the difference between Gyaru and Ulzzang style. So what is the difference between these two styles and which should you really go for? LensVillage is going to do some neutral comparisons between both styles and you can pick the one that you think suits you the most!
Photo credit to hakiya.
Let us start this off with a little introduction on both the styles.
‘Gyaru’ means girl in Japanese. This is also a term used to describe young girls who hang around in the fashionable streets in Japan. The Gyaru style or Gyaru make up is referred to as Charismatic Girls, and this style mainly emphasizes on eye make up, with a pair of sparkling eyes over blushing cheeks and shinning lips. This style has its own trend and but as time goes by, it has actually toned down to a lower key compared to the old school Gyaru make up. Where as ‘Ulzzang’, on the other hand, is more of a Korean style that has a meaning of ‘best face’ or ‘good looking’ in Korean word. Ulzzang style stresses more on the natural side of a person that some people also define as ‘no make up look’ or a natural look, focusing on the perfect complexion, and defined eyebrows.
1. Make-up
Gyaru Make-Up
Gyaru is a more daring and exciting style. The style of Gyaru is basically standing out. As mentioned, Gyaru make up style emphasizes on heavy eye make up, so do expect some bright and colorful eyeliners and eye shadow, with thick mascara and false eye lashes which is compulsory for Gyaru make up. There are tons of different styles of Gyaru around and you can go as wild as you desire. For Gyaru style, people do not only stick to brown colored contacts; if you are observant enough, you may be able to see many different colors and designs of circle lenses being worn by people who adopt this style. It elaborates on fake eyelashes too especially bottom eyelashes. The Gyaru make up fashion is meant for girls who are not afraid to catch the eye of the crowd and be the center of attraction. If you like having a look that stands out, this is a definitely a good choice for you.

Ulzzang Make-Up
As for Korean beauty style, the main focus is more to achieving flawless complexion. Thus, most of the Korean beauty products are designed to smooth out your skin and complexion without covering it such as putting on some BB cream that is very close to your original skin tone. This will make it seem like you are not wearing any make-ups. Though Ulzzang styles do make use fake eyelashes and circle lenses too, but this style is usually leaning more towards the natural colors. Ulzzang make up also highlights more on eye make up but leaving the lips totally natural with only lip balm. Ulzzang styles are more suitable for those who prefer refined eyeliner over some intense mascara and fake eye lashes. You can pick some peach, beige, or even light pink lipstick for this style, and go along with the famous straight Korean eyebrows to look perfectly Ulzzang!

2. Hair style
Gyaru Hair
People who adore the Gyaru hairstyle will usually opt for a lighter brown as the color for their hairs. There are also some trends where they go for the blonde hair color but the trend does change as time goes by. The Gyaru style does not usually opt for straight hair (you will still see it but rarely), as you will come by more of the curled or waved hair. Hairdos like tying up ponytails, pigtails, or even buns can be pretty common! Some of them also use hairpieces at times as to add some extra body to their hair to get the best style out of it. Gyaru style lovers will tend to use more hair accessories too.
Ulzzang Hair
Ulzzang hairstyle projects its flavors through natural hair colors such as black and browns. It is very unlikely for an Ulzzang to get their hair dyed in colors that does not sit below the shades of medium brown and for this, girls tend to turn to wigs and extensions as a solution if their natural hair colors are lighter. This is a subtle style that does not require the use of elaborate hairpieces or hairdos as it is typically kept natural or waved in sweet and easy to do styles.
3. Fashion
Gyaru Fashion
Gyaru is a very loud and flashy style that is ever changing with its subcategories. The styles are very wide and distinct as it can never be pinpointed on a certain look but it is judged based on whether the look you are wearing makes a statement or not. Gyaru acts as an amplifier in the fashion world in Japan, as it takes current fashion trends and blows them up in scale. If you think you are turning heads, then yes, you are on the right track.
Ulzzang Fashion
Ulzzang fashion on the other hand is the opposite of Gyaru Fashion as it is not gaudy. Instead, it only keeps track of the Korean Fashion trends and emphasizes on the overall look and comfort of the style. This ultimately relates to its name “Ulzzang” which carries the meaning of, “best face” in Korean. This could mean that you can wear a pretty little dress today and a comfy jumper the next day as long as it is comfortable and brings out the most pleasant and adorable side of yourself.
In conclusion both styles contain many similar adaptations but they both are really quite different from each other. These two styles cater to different groups of people and are constantly sharing many similar fashion elements amongst each other as trends come and go. An Ulzzang may choose to purchase fashion items from a common Gyaru brand but that does not make them Gyaru and likewise, a Gyaru choosing to wear an Ulzzang brands does not immediately make them an Ulzzang.
For both ulzzang and gyaru style, dolly contact lens is a MUST! Best is those with a black rim to create big eyes effect.
