OLENS Scandi contacts Review [Olive]

 


Hello and welcome (back?)!

Today I have a real treat to review!
As circle lenses and colored contacts have gotten main stream, the demand has caused more and more brands and websites to pop up and it's easier than ever to get ahold of lenses.
But...how can you make sure you're getting good quality?

I personally rely on reviews of fellow bloggers and I'm so happy to be able to bring to your attention my recent go-to brand!

As I've gotten older, I haven't been able to wear the same circle lenses that we've all come to be familiar with (and the ones that I used to wear for 8 hours) and I started to look for alternatives that were comfortable and breathable for my (increasingly) sensitive eyes.

This has resulted in a lot of trial and error with circle lenses/color contact lenses and brands but I've been using 


 for about 2 years now and my eyes are happy about that!

As with any colored lens, the things I value the are COMFORT, COLOR, DESIGN and COST.

The Olens brand has been around since 2007 and they're constantly innovating and creating new ranges for their customers and I'm so excited to show you one of their newest lines, SCANDI.

OLENS Scandi contacts Review [Gray]

 



Hi hi and welcome back for Olens Scandi review part 2/5!
Today we're focusing on the Scandi Grays~

I'm personally a sucker for gray lenses. If I was to ever be asked what color eyes I would want, Gray would be my top choice ( along with a vibrant green lol). Because of this, I always tend to purchase gray lenses but one of my biggest issues is finding a natural looking contact while still being brightly colored.
Another issue is being able to find 1 day lenses that have the same vibrancy as the monthly/quarterly/yearlys out there. (Spoiler alert: The 1day lenses look EXACTLY like the monthly)

Make the jump for the rest of the review!

OLENS Scandi contacts Review [Light Gray]

 


I was surprised that Olens decided to do another gray color in this line but I definitely think it was a good call.
Light Gray is one of the brighter colors of the line and I'm personally a huge fan of the light colored constants that actually SHOW UP Light colored on dark eyes.

This color is ~perfection~ and I'd personally love to see it as a daily lens also.

Something that I haven't mentioned before is that Olens is the official lens company for the members of BLACKPINK and I died a little bit when I found out that the girls wore these exact lenses in their recent MVs.

Lisa is my personal favorite (like...favorite favorite) and she wore these in their Ice Cream MV. I was originally going to try and recreate her look for this review but Lisa is basically a queen and I cannot compare so I didn't even attempt it. LOL
But, I did get some clip in bangs as an homage to her, haha.


OLENS Scandi contacts Review [Hazel]

 


Scandi's original three shades Olive, Gray and Hazel all come in Daily lenses and Monthly.
Originally I had skipped on hazel because I was a huge fan of Olens' Russian Gold dailies and had already purchased a new pack of them.

I'm actually super glad that I had the opportunity to try out the Hazels though!

Hazel and brown lenses are a really nice color to have on hand when you want lighter looking eyes without COMPLETELY changing your eye color and look.
Some people might think "why would you wear brown contacts on brown eyes?" but if you click the jump, you'll see why you definitely want to get your hands on some!

OLENS Scandi contacts Review [Aqua]

 


Welcome back for the final review of 5!!
Make sure to read through the other ones (link to all of them at the end) or if you just want to look at the images, that works too!

Here we have the last but not least, Scandi Aqua!

Aqua is one of the newer colors to their line and advertised as an upgrade to their spanish blue lens.
As such, it's only currently offered as a monthly lens compared to their original three (hazel, olive and gray).

This lens was also worn by Lisa and Jisoo in Blackpink's Ice cream MV! 

To really show case this lens I tried to do an "ice cream" inspired look but...it turned more candy inspired...could it be? S-Sour candyyyy (i'm sorry. I'm just high key  low key obsessed with Blackpink.

Anywho~ make the jump for the rest of the review!
