Candy Color Lenses... Review, Tips and $100 Giveaway

Trends come and go and some even stay longer than others... but one trend that hasn't left yet is Colored Contacts.  Now a days, they come in a variety of colors, designs and all kinds of crazy... compared to when I first tried on and used Color Contacts back in the day and only had brands like Fresh looks available to buy.  As with all beauty accessories, Contacts are used for a variety of things - from altering ones appearance, to doing awesome and cool theatrical looks.  Now a days, the options are endless and you can find anything to suite your desires.

I have worked with Candy Color Lenses on MANY occasions.  In fact, they are the ONLY online retailer for color and crazy contacts that I have purchased from in a couple of years.  While I get my regular "seeing" contacts from my optometrist... crazy contacts come directly from CCL.   Their customer service has never steered me wrong and shipping is a breeze and super affordable.  I am very lucky to be working with CCL once again and this time, instead of really reviewing the lenses I received, I decided I would talk to all of you about some application tips and about my experience with the company.  

There are a few tips I forgot to mention in the video...  

1. Before applying your lenses, if you have just received them, make sure to remove them from their packaging, place into a lens case and soak with your saline solution for a minimum of 2 hours.  Now the saline solution I am talking about is NOT what it is soaking in when you receive the product, use a new saline wash - you can buy at retailers like Walmart or Walgreens or get from your local Drug Store or Optometrist.  When removing your contacts and storing them - be sure to store in clean and freshly poured saline solution after cleaning your lenses. 
   
2. DO NOT Use Water to clean your lenses.  The saline solution you buy is a clean and sterile solution, so be sure to use that.  
3. MOST IMPORTANTLY -  Treat your contacts with the utmost care when applying, storing and cleaning.  These go onto your eyes and it is important that you take care of those peepers.  Check with your doctor prior to use and be very careful with using contacts not fitted for your eyes.  Cosmetic lenses can be dangerous if they are not used properly or if they should not be used at all.

So - check out the video below (or click here to watch on YouTube) for all the details and the rules for the giveaway can be found below it.
