How I Instantly Change the Way I Feel and Look!





I am one of those girls you would call "boring", "conventional", "very simple".  That's why if you follow me on IG stories, you'll see that most makeup looks I do are on the low-key version, easy-to-do, wearable for everyday and most importantly, apt for my age.

But there are days really that changing a regular MLBB shade of lipstick to something dark and vampy won't do the cut, there are days I just want to feel and look different, on days I want my photo to stand out even if I have minimal makeup on, just like the photo below.

Can you spot anything different?

Did it take long for you to see the difference?  I'm sure a lot of you already spotted it, I'm wearing colored contacts and it made a HUGE difference right?  For the particular photo, I wore AIR OPTIX® Colors in Green.

All thanks to my Beauty Blogger friend Marj Sia for pushing me to try out other shades!  I've always been the "boring" girl even with contacts!  I've used FreshLook® Illuminate Dailies in Rich Brown for several of my close-up shots because it enhances my eye shape yet it doesn't give a drastic change for you to notice!

And just when I was getting more and more comfortable putting on contact lens, that's when I got hooked on in FreshLook® ColorBlends®  Dailies in Pure Hazel.  I love this particular variant so much because it is extremely comfortable to wear yet it gives a subtle difference!  I can actually go around malls sans makeup with just the contacts and still receive compliments from friends.

And on days I want some "oomph" or "major oomph", I'd pick AIR OPTIX® COLORS Contact Lens  in Sterling Grey because the result is amazing!




Now for someone who is a newbie on the contact lens world and is getting hooked by it, I would like to share what I learned that could interest you if you may want to change the way you look and feel in an instant just the way I did!

1. What’s the difference between AIR OPTIX® Colors and FreshLook®?
AIR OPTIX® Colors and FreshLook®, both designed to create beautiful, natural-looking eyes, while providing healthy vision and consistent comfort throughout one’s wearing period have their own special wearing modalities. Knowing how long you want to use your contact lens in a day matters. 

AIR OPTIX® Colors is made up of proprietary “silicone hydrogel material which allows plenty of oxygen to pass through the contact lenses; therefore they are perfect for LONG-HOUR WEAR.  FreshLook® on the other hand, used the classic hydrogel material and is best for EVERYDAY WEAR.
