Do you dream of a big, doll-like eye effect? With Olens, it's possible! This time I'm testing three different models: daily lenses Olens Glow Natural Mocha Brown, monthly lenses Olens Glowy Brown and another monthly design Olens Big Glowy Mocha Brown. Which one is my favourite?
Spoiler time: all of them are my favourite! The designs and shades fit my blue/green eyes so well!
About Olens
Olens is the no. 1 premium colour contact lens brand from South Korea. This brand makes regular lenses as well as coloured lenses. It's a pioneer in Beauty&Healthy eye styling, and it's a brand that is recognised all over the world. Olens products were used in many Kdramas and photoshoots. The brand was in the spotlight of many beauty programs in Korea.
Can coloured lenses be corrective?
I feel like many people think that contact lenses are not for eyes with no vision problems and that coloured lenses shouldn't be used by people with vision issues. That's not true! The main reason for wearing lenses for many people is aesthetic issues or comfort issues - I started to wear lenses because I find glasses more problematic, and they usually don't fit me well. Lenses don't make me tired and I feel like thanks to contact lenses my sight is doing better than it would do with glasses. Coloured lenses are sometimes called "cosmetic lenses" since they change the visual colour of your iris, and that's something some people don't know - when you buy coloured lenses from Olens you can fit them to your needs, if you need corrective aspect of lenses, you can choose the shade of the lens and power. All the lenses I tested in this post are -3.00 power.
How to choose lenses for my eyes and skin?
If you want to try Olens so badly, but don't know what colour fits your skin - Olens has the #FindMyOlens option which helps you choose a lens shade that fits your skin tone. You can also choose graphic size and colour. There are even styling videos that can help you choose a makeup style to fit your eyes with Olens lenses on.
What's Puscon?
Since some lenses used by New Jeans are mostly based on Puscon, it's good to know what you're using. One of the Puscon's features you should know about is that Puscon is the safest biomaterial for contact lenses. It forms something called a "Strong Hydration Shield". It adds more moisture to the eye. Puscon prevents protein deposition and has a strong UV-block function to protect your eyes from UV radiation. Yes, UV radiation is dangerous for eyes, and it's quite rare to find lenses that block UV. My regular monthly lenses are made out of silicone-hydrogel, and Puscon is more comfortable since it contains even more water and they don't get dry as fast.
Olens Glow Natural Mocha Brown
DIA (diameter) 14,2 mm | G.DIA (graphic diameter) 13,0mm | Base curve 8.7mm | Water content: 43% | Material: HEMA
Olens Glow Natural Mocha Brown is a design I tried before, and I enjoy this model a lot. In general Glow/Glowy series is my favourite. These lenses are NewJeans Hyein's pick. What I love about Glowy Natural's design is the gold highlighter detail with brown limbal ring - it looks so nice with my natural eye colour. I tried this model before, and I use them mostly when I travel somewhere or I have an important date. This design is gorgeous, and the model itself is comfortable to wear.
Olens Glowy Brown
DIA (diameter) 14,2 mm | G.DIA (graphic diameter) 13,1 mm | Base curve 8.6 mm | Water content: 40% | Material: Puscon
Olens Glowy Brown is NewJeans Haerin's pick. These lenses are so beautiful. A dark gold shade mixed with a soft black base is a design I like the most. The good thing is that these lenses are made out of Puscon. It's not a surprise that I enjoy this model as well. It looks good, it's comfortable and easy to wear. It blends super nicely with my eyes.
Olens Big Glowy Mocha Brown
DIA (diameter) 14,2 mm | G.DIA (graphic diameter) 13,6 mm | Base curve 8.6 mm | Water content: 40% | Material: Silicone Hydrogel
Olens Big Glowy Mocha Brown is a new design, and it's NewJeans Haerin's Pick! I love the toned-up highlight pattern for the dolly eyes effect. The dark and bold limbal ring mixed with this brown highlight is an ideal mix for my eyes. I was a bit worried that the bold limbal ring might be too much, but you know what? It's ideal for me. The graphic DIA might be a bit bigger but still, these lenses look good on eyes because they blend so well.
I am from the US, can I still order lenses from Olens?
Yes. Contact lenses in the US are not sold as easily as in Europe. In comparison, in Europe, I can ask my optometrist or eye doctor to order lenses for me or I can order them on my own. Some brands are available in stores so even if you're out of lenses you can buy them. I had a situation when I got my first lenses and I didn't know that 1-day lenses are not as easy to put as 1-month lenses I needed to grab a new pair in a random drugstore in Paris. The US situation looks different because of the US FCLCA (The Fairness to Contact Lens Consumers Act) so Olens can be ordered if you're living in the US but your lenses will go through a prescription verification system.
