I have tried many many contacts, like solotica quartzo and other ones and they're just not very light on my eyes, so i want to try fxeyes, either the ADRIANA one OR the ICY GREEN ones: (youtube has videos of both)
I dont know which one to get, im tanned with black hair.. also are they even worth it? a lot of people sell them when they get it, has anyone had them? are they satisfied? Thank you! |

I think that the lenses are very expensive but worth it--people get them toned down so they can perfect them--but the whole reason why they're ordering customs is so they have that option If you have a darker complexion you should def have them toned down to at LEAST 7/10 so they don't look unnaturally bright |
|

|
What does "toned down to at LEAST 7/10" mean?
|
|
|||
|
These are custom handpainted lenses---you can tell them how bright you would like them to be---if they are too bright they will look unnatural with a darker complexion
When you tone it down you are darkening the color a bit--you can also ask them to make them bluer or greener People often send them back to be tweaked because that is the whole point of customs, to get them EXACTLY the way you want them--and the adjustments are included in the price |

Here's Fxeyes in Heaven--the first pic hasn't been toned down and the 2nd has See the difference? |
|

|
Yeah, the lenses on the left seem to have a greenish "halo" around the pupil that's not visible in the other picture.

The Fx lenses do look really nice, especially the "Heaven" color - so aptly named! But whoa - $$$$$ I adore colored contacts, but I really don't wanna hafta put a kidney on craigslist to buy them!Looking forward to seeing photos of whichever ones you choose. Good luck! |

Do you know of any really nice color contact lenses that won't cost an arm and a leg--or a kidney? |

Can't really beat that, the disposables don't look as good and end up to be more expensive anyway |

That does sound like a pretty good price when you break it down per month, but putting down a hundred dollars when a new year begins might be dicey. Does insurance cover annual contact lenses?
|
|
|||
|
I doubt they would cover cosmetic lenses that are coming from another country...if your budget is that tight you could spring for a pair of 30 use Waicons for about 50 bucks--you can stretch those 30 uses over the course of 6 months or so if you don't wear them constantly

Nah not really, I wear Acuvue Moist Dailies, mix in some Acuvue Define Dailies when I feel like wearing circle lenses--just bought my 2nd pair of Soloticas, and I already own Waicons
I'll probably spring for customs at some point, the price tag is a little steep though |

A pair of Quartzos, just like my sister's---love em =D
I want to try the Crystals but I'm not sure if they're too similar to the Quartzos |

The Cristals look nice too, and I think they may have the smaller pupil hole like the Topazio, Quartzo and Esmeraldas. At least it looks that way in pictures. That's an important feature if you're wearing a lens in a completely different color than your natural one. I was a little concerned about reduced nighttime visual acuity from it, but I haven't noticed any. |
|

No takers, eh? Hmmm...let's see...what'll ya give me for a couple of feet of beautiful hair? I'll even throw in a slightly damaged soul.

So I ordered from Otica Bellucci---with the lenses and 5 day rush shipping it came to $105--the lenses alone cost 65 so with regular shipping it would have come to about 80--but at this point I was really impatient I've had a good experience ordering from Viallure, I was just getting antsy and Otica's prices are better, it's just a little tricky because the site has to be translated (unlike Viallure) and you have to figure out the conversion from Brazilian Reals yourself Crystals have a larger pupil hole than Quartzos and Topazios but it is feathered so it is supposed to blend in with you natural eye better They're also more opaque than Quartzos Maybe I will order a pair when my Waicon Blue Greys expire--I would just hate to spring for a pair that looked almost the same as the Quartzos that I already own-although I think the Quartzos have a blue green tone to them |

Geo?? You're going to compare Geo lenses to customs?
|

You're not trying to sell them, are you cosmeticlover? You wouldn't that that here, would you? |

How can you compare a $25 pair of Geo or Vassen circle lenses to $500 customs and say the cheap lenses win? I mean look at the Geos Nudy Green and Vassen lenses compared to Fxeyes Icy Green |
|
|||
|
Is the Fxeyes Icy Green lens the one on the bottom? That's the one I like best. The others look too "speckley."

The other 2 run about 20 bucks |

I think the first pic looks brighter.
