Hey Guys, I'm back with another review for Contact Lenses! Now, many of you don't know but I was a religious contact wearer in my teens(13-16)! Suddenly I stopped wearing, them, I didn't like the feeling of putting something in your eyes and then having my eyes burn, irritated, and be red! Now it wasn't all the time that it would occur but literally at school alot of people would comment how Red my eyes were! YIKES! So, I decided to give my eyes a break and stopped wearing prescription/plano lenses. ANDDDDDDD once I stopped I never really looked back at wearing them. I absolutely hated the feeling of having them in my eyes(Freshlook Colour Blends; Sapphire Blue, I'm looking at you). Being 21 now, and having all sort of social media, I saw the infamous Desio Lens that everyone was raving about and that kind of got me back into them! I purchased those and kind of got addicted. Now, I needed more but $52.00 CDN was not the price I was willing to pay! And BAM!
There it was...

Now when I purchased the Desio Lens in Desert Dream I purchased them in plano because they were $52.00 CDN a pair and even though I wear prescription, that's all I could afford. Desio Lens do not make custom lens pairs for individual's such as my self. My right eye is -1.25, while my left eyes power is -1.75. So with that being said I'd have to purchase two sets of lenses! One for -1.25 and one for -1.75! And that'd cost me around $102.00 CDN. Yikes! But I'd get two pairs in the end, so I guess that cancels out but still $102.00 CDN for a university student is still cray! I have priorities y'know?!
While browsing other YouTube videos, I found a review about www.rainbowcomplete.com and decided to check it out. To my surprise there were several brands, colors, style etc and they were all very affordable! The Price range on the brands that are listed vary from $15.00 USD to $25.00 USD!
AWESOME! Even with the Canadian Conversion rate they were still pretty CHEAP, including the prescription lenses!
I'm kind of at that stage now where I don't want to wear my glasses in Public(which I barely do), but especially while driving, so I decided to take a look at the Rx Lenses. The Rx lenses have 16 different options. Based on my skin tone, I wanted something natural looking, something that wouldn't overly exert the fake-eyes LOL. So whenever glancing at contacts I always lean towards the green/gray side or sometimes even gray/blue. My First choice was Blendy's Prescription Jade Green, a beautiful natural looking green, but I was quickly talked out of it by my sister who said my desio lens were already green and I should try something new. My sister herself had recently purchased the Illusionz Prescription Marble Gray , which were a blue/gray hint and suggested I buy those. After seeing them on her, I said what the hey?! They actually looked nice.
Now let me tell you how impulsive I am. In the moment I was like "yeah, they look great!" but as soon as I placed the order I freaked out! WHY? Because my sister is a lighter skin tone than me and I thought the contact lenses would look weird on me. All I could really do was wait.
Since the contacts were prescription and my prescription for both eyes is different (-1.25,-1.75) I had to order 2 pairs(similar to Desio Lens Policy). The Illusionz Prescription Marble Gray contacts cost $15.00 USD a pair so I had to order one set with the power -1.25 and one set with the power -1.75, which totalled to $30.00 USD! STILL LESS THAN DESIO! Shipping is guaranteed with 14 days but I received my contacts within a week!
Here's the packaging

Here's the packaging
They're here! Packaging wise I, definitely think shipping material was better than Desio! They send you a cubic box where as Desio Lens put your contacts in a bubbled envelope. They are boxed neatly and every thing from the reciept, to instructions, to a dear valuable customer note is available. They also provide instructions on defects, and returns which is awesome.
First Impressions
Obviously, after recieving them I had to try them on. My right on lens went on with ease but it was my left lens that was giving me trouble. It was poking me, my eye felt irritated, it started to become red, it was HIGH SCHOOL ALL OVER AGAIN! I quickly removed the contact and was turned off by it but then I decided that you know maybe I should try again. After giving my eyes a break, I washed my hand thoroughly, soaked the lenses in contact lens solution and tried again... And still it was poking my eyes. And I had given up on these lenses. I was like "I am not going to torture my eyes again." And Put them away.
BUT
Last night I decided to try my lenses again for a video I was recording and was like let's try. I put on the right contact lens and it went on with ease. Now the dreaded left. I applied the left one and..... STILL irritation galore. I quickly removed it and put it back on the contact case. But then something clicked. MAYBE JUST MAYBE I should try flipping over the contact and try wearing it. So that's exactly what I did. and BEHOLD! No more irritation! I was so excited, finally! I had purchased these contacts and I could finally wear them with ease! But Obviously they didn't look natural like I had wished but still I like them!
During Wear
During the wear initially obviously I absolutely disliked it. But this time around they barely felt like they were there. I wore them for about 3+ hours and my eyes didn't dry out, I didn't feel any irritation, they almost felt invisible. Which is what contacts should feel like!
Here are some pictures of me wearing them.
