they say "wow" but they also say "it looks..different." Because it's not a natural-color blue. It's like a bright royal blue. Here's a picture of me wearing the blue. I have the Sapphire in my right eye, and the deep blue in my left eye. So the sapphire is on the left side of the picture, deep blue is on the right side.

Haha yep! I just became a member so I'm posting on everything, mostly because I've been testing out a lot of the acuvues. That really is the best advice for people wanting to try contacts...go to an eye doctor, and they'll give you testers so you know what it looks and feels like in your eye; that way you can judge for yourself.
Mary, I agree, I like the sapphire. I've been asking around and get mixed reviews, but most of all I just want something that enhances my eyes. In most lighting, the deep blue just doesn't show well on dark eyes. What I usually get from people is either "wow, the sapphire looks cool! You can't really see the deep blue" or "pick the deep one, the sapphire looks fake" and, from my mother, "your brown eyes look better!" She is the only one that actually wants me to keep my brown eyes or actually try DARKER brown lol! =) |

Now that I think about it...yes I did! My dad has blue eyes. I have five brothers and sisters, two have blue eyes, two have brown, and one has green. Weird how genetics work, eh?
|
|
|||
|
I think there's a chart somewhere here on Lens 101 that shows how the genes get juggled to produce different eye colors. The person who posted it said that they have a brother and two sisters, and they all have brown eyes like their father. Their mother has blue eyes.

That's the one. Thank you, knotlob. That's very helpful.

Yeah I heard eye color is a pretty complicated thing, since so many genes determine it. I always wondered what color eyes the Gosselin kids have. The mom has blue eyes, the dad is half Korean with hazel/green eyes, yet all the kids have brown eyes. All eight of them!

That's a basic rule of thumb, but not always the case, because several genes determine eye color. That's how I have siblings with blue and green eyes, even though my mom has brown eyes. That's also why there are so many shades of eye colors =)

Someone posted a chart on this forum somewhere that showed how not only the parents' eye color can determine the child's eye color, but even the grandparents can effect their grandchild's eye color. |

I like the Sapphire lens on you, Jelly. I like your pose, too.
|
|

Well here's me with the real sapphire blues, with my prescription, not testers!
I didn't really like acuvue at first but now that I have them, I really like them! =) Last edited by jellymelly14; 10-08-2011 at 09:24 AM.. |

Beautiful eyes, Jelly, and I'm glad you "let your hair down" in the second picture. Your hair and your smile really bring the whole look together. Have you gotten any compliments on your blue eyes?
|
|
|||
|
Awww, you're so pretty! Those contacts are the perfect shade of blue for you. Shine on!

They are a fun blue, though. No one will think they're real, but they still look cool. =) |

haha thanks but its one of those looks where you know they're staring at something specific, like when you have something stuck in your teeth or have a pimple or something, it's one of those awkward stares. They just look really intently at my eyes, trying to figure out what's different. I just prefer when they flat-out ask if they're contacts, so at least they'd stop staring. But I guess that's what happens when you pick a contact that doesn't look normal!

Exactly, to me, the color makes them look not normal, as in, not like natural blue eyes. The color is more of an electric blue, so it's a dead give away that they're contacts and people stare at them b/c of that. The pattern is really nice and natural-looking, if only they made a more normal blue color!

I guess we answered Zoey's original question, which was "Is there a dramatic difference between natural blue eyes and Acuvue Colors - Opaque in Sapphire Blue?" So I guess that's a yes. |

HOWEVER, in my search for a more natural color, I have order Illusions Soft Blue from this website...which I will have at the end of the month, hopefully. So look out in the illusions thread in a few weeks for more pics! =) Now I just need to find a natural, light green color contact... Since I originally dabbled in colored contacts wanting GREEN eyes! =P |

I'm glad to read that you ordered some contacts from Lens.com. You'll have to let us know what you think about them when they arrive, including the delivery time. I'm sure the Lens.com people are anxious to hear what you think. |

Excellent. Did they arrive when you expected them to, and in good condition? Just want to make sure that the sponsor makes you happy.
|
|
|||
|
yep, the contacts were fine, and they actually came earlier than expected. Lens.com also has the cheapest price for Illusions that I could find. So, no complaints!

I want to stay here in this thread. How do they feel? Are they comfortable?
|
|
|||
|
Well, they look very real and natural. They feel just like my acuvues, probably b/c they are the same base curve, except they are much more drying. (But I guess that's b/c they're yearly lenses, while acuvues are disposable and more breathable). So, after about five hours of wear, I start to get tired, red eyes, even with eye drops. My eyes are pretty sensitive though, especially since I am fairly new to contacts. I think it'll just take time to get used to them.

sure, but I probably won't wear them for a while. Need my eyes to recover. =T

Well, here it is Tuesday after the other holiday and we still need to hear from jellymelly14 about those Illusions contact lenses.
|
|
|||
|
Okay so we started out talking about Thanksgiving and then it was Labor Day. So much for modern communication.
|
|
|||
|
Well, I don't know if she has a flirtatious personality or not, but she sure looks good in those blue contacts.
|
|
|||
|
I hate to say it, but in the case of that young lady, I don't think I'd have much trouble finding her eyes. She's got pretty eyes and, shall we say . . . not a lot of other distractions.
|
|
|||
|
Yeah, no distractions other than a big white arrow.

Maybe you can stare at that "My Eyes Are Up Here" girl for a while. Don't even look her in the eye, who's going to know?
|
|

Yeah, but she hasn't posted anything in this thread for over a year. Perhaps it's time to move on. . .
