I am a huge fan of the colored contact circle lenses from OLENS ~ their hazel, olive, brown and aqua lenses are fantastic for light colored eyes! OLENS came out with a new design called Evening plus they sent me a couple of other contacts are well. I received these lenses from OLENS complementary for review purposes.

I received these products complementary to review and was not paid. All reviews are my own honest opinion and I never have been asked to write copy for a brand.

OLENS is one of the first color contacts specialty brand to go global and they have helped introduce specialized colored contacts. OLENS has developed Puscon, a material designed for sensitive eyes. It uses an FDA approved Phosphorylcholine, prevents protein deposits ~ I have a huge problem with that, increased oxygen permeability and has a hydrophobic structure that forms a layer of moisture while minimizing water loss. OLENS handles their lenses using strict KFDA guidelines. ~ read more at olensglobal.com
OLENS offers several different lines: natural and realistic Scandi, exotic Russian Smokey, Velvet and Spanish, romantic and fanciful ViVi Ring, 3D pigmentation, sophisticated colors with Gold 3Con and so much more! They offer 1 day, 2 weeks, 1 month and 3 ~ 6 month contact choices, with a variety of prescription strengths ~ even no strength ~ diameter and colors.
I posted both the official photos from OLENS and my photos of how they look on me. I think that is important, as OLENS uses models with dark brown eyes and the effect can be quite different on someone like me, with green eyes.
Really loving the Ending in Olive
My prescription lens that I use now are for astigmatism and I am lucky that the prescription strength is the same in both eyes at -5.00. OLENS does do a lot of BOGO so if you have different strengths, you are covered. My base curve and diameter is slightly higher than they offer at OLENS , but that is due to the astigmatism correction. OLENS has all of the specs on each one of their products and you can search on a lot of the specs, like diameter, prescription and so on.
OLENS carries a variety of lenses, in many shades and graphic sizes, so you can have lenses that look very natural and all the way up to dolly, circle lenses.
My natural eye color is green. It changes colors on its own, so it can look blue, grey, aqua or taupe depending on my eyeshadow and my health.

Mood Night has a soft edge line, very natural looking with a simple micro-dot design pattern. The shade is a soft ash brown that is gradated. These are also really nice and my go-to lens right now. I feel that they are very realistic and make my eyes look larger without making them look like doll eyes.

ViVi Ring has a softer edge line than Mood Ring, but because the pink shade, it still looks well defined with the brownish-pink edge line. My eyes don’t look pink, but they look brighter. These are the smallest enlarging lens, so they look more natural. The pink shade is dreamy and creamy looking and I love these. ViVi Ring does come in Monthly and they just released Toric, for astigmatism.
TIPS
If you have never worn contacts before, just remember these tips:
- Make sure to wash and dry your hands
- Use a saline solution to rinse off the contacts ~ even when you are opening a new pair, always rinse them
- To pick up the lens, I dump them into the palm of my hand and then use my finger pad to pick them up. Not my finger TIP, no nails are involved here.
- Make sure that the lens is curving inward like a bowl. It is is flaring out, then you need to flip them inside out.

- Inspect the lens for any damage such as tears
- If the lens looks good, open your eyes wide and just place the lens on your eye. Blink a few times.
- You might want to use your other hand to lift up your upper lid while you insert the lens. With practice, you will be able to add and remove your lens one handed and without a mirror!
OLENS has a great section on lens care and handling and they do have a section about how to insert here
