I-Codi Naty IC3 31 blue are glorified by the green flecks that tend to accentuate typically light colored eyes. The pattern looks simple as the transition is very soft and natural. When paired with Chitose Senri short blue wig, the personality gets boosted up for extra attention. The wig is good for creating volume. The fibers are strong enough to hold the spikes and quirky styling. Check out the reviews here and here

Get Bright youthful Eyes: Geolica Holicat Barbie Cat Hazel
"In my opinion, of many circle lenses I have worn, I would say that Barbie Cat hazel would be the most beautiful hazel brown. As you can see, my natural eye colour is dark brown so I've been trying to look for a nice subtle light brown/hazel as I believe on oriental eyes, if you don't want to look too extreme and unnatural then brown or hazel lenses are the way to go.
Including the ones I've tried previously, I'd say these are my fave lenses so far. Since these are monthly lenses they are more breathable for the eyes as they're more thinner than the yearly ones. They are natural looking yet gives the eyes the sparkle and colour which I love. So until I find a more gorgeous looking one in the future, the GEOLICA Holicat Barbie Cat Hazel is on the top of my list."

Can I Swim Wearing Synthetic Wig without damaging it?
Generally speaking, swimming with your synthetic wig on is
not a good idea. There are different types of synthetic wigs available that
withstand to the environments differently (depending on the fiber used)
Swimming in the sea or pool water affect the texture and color of the synthetic
wigs adversely. To find out if your synthetic wig is compatible with chlorine
or salt water, read below:
- Synthetic wigs that are safe to swim with, are constructed differently and they are usually made of human hair. Synthetic wigs when are exposed to salt or chlorine water; develop frizz & lose shine. Chlorine may react to discolor your wig and even the texture changes from soft to brittle.
- It is also advised that synthetic wigs must not be left unattended when wet. Any abnormal pressure, wringing & trapping of fibers whilst you swim wearing synthetic wig can make the wig lining lose. Due to this, your wig begins to thin.
- If the temperature is unbelievably hot outside, synthetic wig is at greater risk of being damaged. Blazing UV rays will do their damage whereas chlorine water of the pool further destroys the fiber.
- For underwater cosplay photography, you can have a brief safe dip. However, swimming is not suggested since the water waves may exert pressure.
After being done with your marine photoshoot, let your
synthetic wig air-dried naturally. The wig should either be hanged on a Styrofoam
head or any other hanger that allows enough of the air to pass through the
fibers. Air-drying synthetic wigs will help reverting to the factory-built
style and bounce.
Some inexpensive synthetic wigs can be purchased if taking a
swim in the pool is inevitable. Or, you can wear a wig scarf for protection against
the damage caused by chlorine, salt or UV rays.

Is it Normal for Contact Lenses to Float Around?
Courtesy of topazarbell
Contact lenses are designed to float on your iris. Contact
lenses do not stick to your eyes but keep floating every time you blink.
Therefore, floating of circle contacts is considered healthy & normal.
Usually, floating does not interfere with vision. However, sometimes depending
on the design; contact lens movement may create hindrance in maintaining crisp
vision. If you are suspicious about your contact lenses floating way too much,
check by your doctor as it may be a sign of “astigmatism”. Healthy floating of
circle lenses depends upon the following factors:
Improper Fitting
If contact lenses do not fit your eyes properly they stay
loose due to which they can fall off or get trapped in the eyelid. The normal
base curve values ranges between 8.00 to 10.00 mm. Circle lenses with 8.6mm fit
best to most of the people. Contacts with too tight base curves can block
oxygen permeation.
Blinking
Blinking causes circle lenses to move several millimeters
every time a person blinks. Due to blinking circle lenses are slightly
decentered, but within fraction of seconds they relocate themselves without
even letting you realize.
Tears
Tears facilitate contact lens floating. Tears help keeping
your eyes and lenses moist that enables easy movement. This also helps better
oxygen transmission to all the areas of cornea through tears. When eyes become
dehydrated, floating is compromised that causes irritation & inflammation
of eyes.
Contact lenses are made to float on eyes. However, some
crazy reptilian designs that are 100% opaque may be very annoying when the slide
up and move. They create obstacles in seeing clearly as they shift a few
millimeters and float around. At Halloween, when you are nothing but a
dare-devil, observe caution whilst wearing such crazy lenses. You may trip over
in a dark alley due to poor sight. Other than few designs, floating of contact lenses must go unnoticed. If it is bothersome, get yourself an appointment from
a doctor.
5 Environments you should be Careful about when wearing Contact Lenses
Circle contact lenses are generally safe to wear but there
are certain places where you should make sure that your eyes remain safe.
Contact lenses don’t hurt by themselves, provided they are FDA approved. Yet they may be somewhat painful if
carelessness is shown.
1. Welding Workshops & Chemical Industries
Welding labs and operators face an array of hazards from
fumes to electric shocks and suffocation. A welder is required to wear special
fire-resistant costume & safety eye wear. Contact lenses should be avoided
in welding areas because of the high heating temperatures. Chemical industries
that generate fumes, gaseous vapors & infrared radiation may also hinder
with proper contact lens functioning. Since contact lenses are like a sponge;
they let in all the gases they are exposed to.
2. Sports Courts
Observe caution whilst playing sports like badminton,
tennis, and other close eye contact games. If you wear prescription contact
lenses, create an extra barrier of safety by wearing safety eye wear to prevent
serious damages. Wearing circle contacts whilst playing video/computer games
can also cause eye-strain.
3. Beauty Salons
Though beauty salons must not prevent you wearing your
fashion cosmetic lenses, it is advised to be a bit more vigilant during your
stay in the building. A salon deals with hair sprays/aerosols, deodorants,
cologne spray etc that might cause the appearance of an annoying film over the
surface of contact lenses. Keep your eyes shut when you get finishing touches
to tame your tresses using a hair spray.
4. Extreme Temperature Changes
Georgia May's Courtesy
Use caution when wearing circle contacts in extreme
temperature zones. I.e. sub-zero temperature or the places that have high
heating temperatures such as oven, fire-place etc.
Also Read:
5. Windy & Dusty Places
Wear safety eye wear to prevent irritation. Dust particles
and windy weather irritate your eyes. Windy climate further turn your eyes
& lenses dry.
Contact lenses should be immediately removed if they become
uncomfortable suddenly & consistently. Avoid wearing circle lenses when you
have cold or flu. Contact lenses are medical devices and you should only wear
them if you consider yourself mature enough for the meticulous handling they
demand.

Contact Lenses: 5 Ways to Survive Long Haul Flights
The aircraft cabin though has an increased atmospheric
pressure, reduced relative humidity and reduced oxygen availability, the
contact lens wearers remain unaffected even it is a long haul flight. However,
a contact lens wearer should be more careful if they wish to survive the flight
without any ocular discomfort.
1. Carry Re-wetting Drops in a Zip-Lock Bag
Choosing to wear contact lenses during a flight is a
personal taste. If your eyes are naturally moist you certainly will survive the
flight. If your eyes are drier we recommend you to carry the solution to rewet
contact lenses, lubricating eye drops & handling accessories of contact
lenses. Due to the increased pressure, the solutions may leak. To prevent
accidental wastage of your limited solution keep you travel-sized bottles
protected in a zip-lock bag. (Most of the flight allow only 2oz of liquid)
2. Carry a Hand- Sanitizer & Cleansing Wipes in your Hand
Bag
Before you touch your contact lenses your hands should be
properly sanitized. If you are quirky and believe that air-plane lavatories don’t
have up-to-standard clean water, you always have the option to enjoy the convenience
of a hand sanitizer. Wipe your hands with cleansing wipes and you are all set
to re-insert or take your contact lenses out.
3. Use an Eye Mask
Sleeping with contact lenses is not a good idea. Experts
recommend to take contact lenses out even before a nap. When you are travelling
via a long haul flight, you should pay attention to keep your eyes moist. If
your eye lids don’t shut off fully as you sleep; kindly use an eye mask to keep
your eyes warm & stay lubricated. Sleeping in contacts under reduced
atmospheric pressure may create a seal that makes it difficult to take them
out.
4. Avoid Contact lenses with High Water Content
Though contact lenses with high water content are considered
most comfortable lenses, it is better to avoid them in a long haul flight.
Contact lenses with water content 55% get dry quickly. In order to quench their
hydration needs they disturb the tear chemistry and create a stinging
sensation.
5. Daily Disposable Contact Lenses
It is advisable to always travel with two pairs of contact lenses. Prescription contact lenses are a necessity. Therefore, in case of
mishaps you should always have a backup supply. Wearing daily disposable
contact lenses during a flight and keeping your annual prescription contact
lenses saved for the destiny makes sense.
It is completely a personal choice to wear contact lenses in
a flight. Despite the recycled air & 20% relative humidity you
can safely wear contact lenses with/without slight discomfort. Follow the above
stated tips to survive a long haul flight when you are inclined to stay loyal
to contacts.
Contact Lenses could have Saved Irish Boy from Rugby Termination
By an unfortunate strike of fate, a 7 year old boy was
ceased to play rugby because of the sports goggles he wears. Ryan Totten, from
Colerane in county Antrim has already played rugby for his home town for 3
years. According to the experts, contact lenses could have saved him from exclusion.
According to the reports, Ryan wears sport goggles that meet
EU & British safety standards to improve his vision. However, sadly, as per
the IRFU rules (Irish Rugby Footbal Union) he was asked to leave the pitch due
to his eyewear that bans players to continue participating in the contest. Current IRFU rules state: “In the interest of
safety (of the player wearing the goggles and other players) and best practice,
the wearing of glasses or goggles when participating in the contact format of
rugby cannot be allowed.” The ban has left the boy embarrassed, upset
& disappointed.
While the fact is unclear,
what prevented the young sportsman to switch to contact lenses; optometrist
& chairman of BBR Optometry, Nicholas Rumney stated that contact lenses
could have been a better option. Commenting on BBC report that suggests that
Ryan is too young to wear contact lenses, he explained that there is no global
consensus on when to initiate contact lens wear. “There are no such age
barriers”; he emphasized.
President of the British Contact
Lens Association, Brian Tompkins, added: “While I’m not familiar with Ryan’s
specific eye care needs, a child of his age should be able to wear contact
lenses. I actually had two seven-year-olds in practice today for a contact lens
review.”
Totten- the school boy pleas IRFU to change its stance because the
forced prevention from playing Rugby for something he was made by God has left
him broken & immensely sad.
Mr Tompkins told OT: “Any parent interested
in getting contact lenses for their child, should speak to their eye care
practitioner, who will be able to advise them if lenses are suitable for their
child and if so, fit the appropriate lens."
Unless your child is a patient of
critical eye disorders that render contact lenses incompatible, you can safely
let your child wear prescription contact lenses. Don’t let the vision problems take young dreams
away.

Wear your Charisma Boldly: Blue Short Wig against White Mini Sclera Lenses
Wearing bold colors and getting your rocks off need courage. Some one with an introvert personality can not carry the bold looks with confidence. If you enjoy being narcissus allow yourself to play around with the unusual colors. Sometime, going unnatural is fun & crazy.

These lenses are opaque and strong white that are surrounded by black outer ring for a strikingly wild contrast. The short blue wig has crisp edges that adds to one's corporate looks. Short wigs are the most main-stream wigs since they work fine in both fun & executive environments.
How long does a Synthetic Wig Last?
Synthetic wigs are a good option if you need to wear your
wigs sparingly. However life-span of heat-resistant synthetic wigs is far more
enduring than regular synthetic wigs. If taken good care heat resistant
synthetic wigs may last you a couple of years. Contrary to this, wigs that are
not heat-resistant will begin to develop frizz as they cross a year.
Short Wigs are More Durable
Synthetic wigs are inexpensive and with proper care they
look as good as human hair wig. The long-lasting wigs are short wigs having
less hair at the nape. Synthetic wigs are prepared with lots of hair because
the manufacturer wants to provide a room for customized fine tuning or shredding. If you
plan to wear a wig daily that compliments your style, we recommend you taking
it to the hair-dresser. Get it styled as per your features to get the best of
your purchased wig.
Use Styling Products with Caution
Synthetic wigs that are way too frequently treated using
curling irons may fade color or become matted fairly quickly. Also, longer
synthetic wigs that get the wisps or tresses trapped under a shoulder bag strap
or likewise, wear off quickly. Long synthetic wigs are better for especial
occasions such as prom parties. For rough and tough wear, stick to your short heat-resistant synthetic wigs that do not even require frequent combing.
To increase the longevity of your heat resistant synthetic
wigs follow
these 9 wig care rules.

Can I Wear Synthetic Wigs in Kitchen?
Synthetic wigs that are made from heat resistant plastic fibers are more durable than ordinary synthetic or human hair wigs. They are
safe to wear in kitchen but you need to be careful to prevent them from an
irreparable damage.
- Avoid working at direct flames. Keep an appropriate distance from the stove
- Be very careful when working with appliances such as ovens, stoves, BBQ grills and hot pots. Sometimes a sudden burp of steam from the appliances can catch you in embarrassment.
- Avoid wearing long wigs in kitchen. They are prone to catch fire.
- Avoid wearing heavy wigs. They get warm and may irritate you. Wear wigs with medium density, preferably short wigs covered with a scarf.
Synthetic wigs are made of plastic fibers. Strong steam,
smoke and flames damage the fibers and melt them to convert into a beady
residue. In kitchen, the other forms of “surprise” damage are caused by opening
a newer model of dishwasher or preparing the fire place.
Removing meat or
tossing the sauces up at your shashlik steak whilst it is still at the fire
source can spark strong flames. In such cases synthetic wigs may catch fire in
fraction of a second. To avoid burns and fatal damages, always wear only short synthetic wigs in kitchen. Be careful that no tresses or hair wisps disturb you
whilst you cook at the range.
9 Simple Synthetic Wig Care Rules
Synthetic wigs are not only lenient on your pocket but are
also easy at maintenance. Synthetic wigs are more forgiving than the human hair
wigs. This however does not mean that synthetic wigs will stay loyal to you
whether or not you care for them. There are 6 simple rules that keep your
synthetic wigs new forever:
- Only use products that are compatible with synthetic wigs. Such as shampoo, conditioner, styling products including the combs and brushes.
- Wash wigs only with cold water. Even heat-resistant synthetic wigs are not good at bearing with warm water.
- Don’t wash your synthetic wigs too frequently or too infrequently. Keeping a good balance is essential to keep the style intact. (Click to find how often should you wash your synthetic wigs)
- Don’t wring your wigs ever when wash. Always lay them down and press them over a towel.
- Don’t hang your wigs when wet.
- Don’t style or comb your synthetic wigs when they are wet.
- Don’t store your wigs at a table or shelf that receives direct sunlight from an open window.
- Don’t try to trim the wigs yourself. The complimentary styles such as bangs/ fringes play a huge rule. Once you over-do them or do them wrongly, you spoil your entire wig. Always get a professional hair-dresser’s help.
- Be careful when dealing with microwave ovens, BBQ grills and anything that deals with heat and smoke. Keep an appropriate distance with direct flames.
Synthetic wigs are made of plastic fibers. Heat resistant synthetic wigs are better at holding heat, generated from hot curling rod or
straightening iron. These wigs van also be dyed at home but only a color
darker. Synthetic wigs are often your preferred style because of the handiness
they carry. Make your 25$+ wig last you a yearlong by sticking to these 9 wig
care rules.

How to Care for Combination Skin Types: Korean Skin Care Products
Looking after combination skin type can be vexing, because
you have to deal with two entirely different types of skin. When your face is
oily at the T-zone & the remainder is dry or flaky; your skin is considered
oily. Combination skin is tough to deal with because it is prone to acne as
well as prone to dryness. It is almost impossible to use different skin care
products for different areas of your face, so adopt Korean skin care routine

range of products that control sebum whilst hydrating/moisturizing your skin.
Start with a Gentle

others; you need a light weight, water-soluble, gel-based or foaming facial
cleanser. Skin79

and help getting your face free of the sheen without making the dry areas
drier. Always remember, when dealing with combination skin; balance is the key.
Don’t over cleanse the oily areas and don’t over moisturize they dry parts.
Be Gentle
Scrubbing can help getting rid of excessive sebum but it may
make the dry areas drier and flaky. If you can’t get yourself into using two
different scrubs, go for spot treatment. Using Beaute69
Anti Acne mask helps eradicate acne and blemishes without turning your dry
skin areas coarse & brittle.
Adopt Weekly Cleansing
Regimen using Face Masks
Waterfull mask
Spot treatment may only help healing acne or drier areas. To
get complete treatment such as reducing the size of enlarged pores and
quenching the needs of thirsty skin cover up your face. Using face masks once
in a week help clear out the clogged pores whilst hydrating the flaky skin. Skin79
Rose Waterfull mask & Skin79

size of lose pores respectively.
When looking after combination skin, avoid going vigorous
during massage. Being aggressive will irritate your skin, cause inflammation &
break outs. Korean skin care products

impeccable skin texture.

5 Things to Remember when Wearing UV Glow Contact Lenses
UV glow contact lenses are perfect to create an over the
boundary spooky magic. These contact lenses enjoy an edge over regular crazy
contacts. Many of the music idols, celebrities & internet icons have
endorsed UV glow contact lenses. They play with your brain chords, create an
eerie sensation & let you speak with your eyes. Before purchasing UV glow lenses, remember the following points:
- UV glow crazy lenses are not frequently available in prescription. They are intended to create fun looks only. If you have vision problems, better stick to crazy contact lenses in prescription.
- UV glow contacts are perfectly safe for your eyes, provided the dye used is CE approved. Check if the brand you are eyeing at, stands up to the health standards and meet all the parameters set by international health & drug regulatory bodies.
- Not all UV glow lenses are capable of glowing at their own. They need UV activation lights such as those in the clubs. In the dark, UV glow contact lenses emit glowing streaks that make you look spooky for a mind-boggling appearance.
- Just like regular contacts, UV glow contact lenses can be drying to eyes when over worn. Don’t wear them for more than 6 hours. Though these lenses work fine just as regular contacts, it is suggested to wear them only when you want to achieve the theatrical effects. This will help you get the best of the glowing contacts.
- Avoid consuming high dosage of alcohol. Alcohol dehydrates body and leaves your eyes dry. Drink plenty of water instead to keep your eyes and contacts moist.

Eye Sore: 3 Mistakes your Unhygienic Contact Lens Practices are Responsible
Sure, glasses are easy to go but they come with their own
risks and disadvantages. Other than glasses, being forgiving on “cleanliness”;
customers opine they don’t find them overwhelming over contact lenses.
Fortunately, contact lenses are infallible for not-so-fortunate people. (Not
endowed with 20/20 vision) Alike every medical device, these soft hydrophilic
discs should be handled as per the directions. They provide crisp vision with
enhanced peripheral view and remain unaffected as the weather turns hazy (unlike
glasses). Contact lenses are easy to pop in but looks like they are difficult
to take out. Most of the users deliberately leave them in, when they should
not. Below are the five mistakes you must stop doing right now:
1. Wearing Contact Lenses for a Nap
Most of the people decide to take a short 20 minutes nap
with contact lenses still in eyes. Contact lenses should not irritate but why
take risks when you are aware of the facts. Contact lenses are not designed to
stay in your eyes whilst you sleep. You may accidentally fall sound asleep
& this is the time where you should actually freak out (but you won’t as
you are sleeping). Contact lenses create a barrier between oxygen transmission
& cornea. During you snooze; there are two barriers formed i.e. contact
lenses & eyelids. You may get an eye sore if contact lenses are left in
eyes for a long duration. Always take them out when you find yourself over a
cozy couch.
2. Over-Wearing Contact Lenses after they Reach Expiry
It has been observed that people over-wear their contact
lenses to save money. Okay, save money but lose your eyes (sounds cool, eh?) Nobody
would want to risk their eyes to have some bucks in their pockets. Contact
lenses wither & accumulate germs over the time. Counterfeit contact lenses
are not a question. Even FDA approved circle lenses become horribly dangerous
for your eyes once they have met the expiry. Circle lenses are disposable,
treat them likewise.
3. Contact Lenses are Okay even if not cleaned daily
Admit it, not many of us go through the pain of disinfecting
our circle lenses daily. We don’t even throw the old solution. We are the lazy
bones and once we have allowed the bacteria to devour our eyes we start yelling
over the technology and or hold the manufacturer accountable for all the losses
incurred. The technology have seen the advancements, but human mind & hygienic
practices are still captive of the erratic human nature.
There are us who learn from trial & error then there are
geniuses among us who learn from others’ mistakes. We need to change “who cares”
attitude as you get only one pair of eyes in life. The mistakes you do today
cannot be revoked tomorrow. Be careful, contact lenses are undoubtedly a boon,
but your lazy attitude towards their handling puts everything at risk.

efficiency, health standards, safety & quality; ISO certification is most
sought-after. When a product achieves ISO certification; it gains credibility,
trust & customer satisfaction. Contact lenses must hold ISO certification
as they are medical devices & concerns health issues.
3.KFDA & FDA
KFDA is a Korean regulatory body for food &
pharmaceuticals. It promotes and ensures public health & safety by
assessing the products that are either food, drugs, cosmetics or medical
devices. Similarly, FDA is federal executive body of United States that promote
& protect public health by monitoring food, drugs, pharmaceuticals,
prescription & non-prescription drugs & medical devices etc.

beauty experts recommend wearing it underneath a wig because of the innumerable
benefits a wig cap has to offer. If you are here looking for the reasons to get yourself a wig cap, continue reading below:

5 “Say NOs” of an Avid Contact Lens Wearer: Combating Risk of Infections
Though CLIDs (Contact Lens Induced Diseases) are rare,
people who wear contact lenses are prone to corneal infections than those who
do not. Infections with contact lenses are not inevitable, if proper care is
taken off. To avoid corneal diseases, practice good hygiene & do not
compromise on the quality of contact lenses you purchase.
Say No to ‘Substandard Contact Lenses’
As per the consensus of global marketers, manufacturers and
by health regulatory enforcements; price range for FDA contact lenses should be
USD 19 to 23 USD. Anything, lower than this; is probably substandard or
counterfeit. Such fake contact lenses can deter the vision or threat corneas.
Say No to ‘Water'
When wearing contact lenses, be very careful with water.
Minimize your contact with water as it contains a micro organism that is
undoubtedly fatal. Remove your contact lenses when you wash your face, bathe or
surf at beach.
Say No to ‘Home Made Solutions’
Use only pharmacy made solutions to disinfect your contact
lenses. The commercially prepared solutions contain enough preservatives to
keep the efficacy of the disinfectant intact. Homemade saline solutions should
never be resorted to, unless it is an extreme emergency.
Say No to ‘Doze Off’
Sleeping with contact lenses has never been a good idea.
Remove your contact lenses when you are off to bed. Contact lenses partially
block oxygen permeation. Oxygen penetration is further compromised when you
sleep. As per the latest study, even the extended wear contact lenses (that are
actually meant to stay in eyes for long) are not safe enough to be left in eyes
throughout the night.
Say No to ‘Ignore the Expiry’
Always have an eagle eye over the replacement directions. Do
not wear expired contact lenses. Contact lenses may appear all the way same
even after the expiry has reached. This however does not mean they are still
safe to be worn.
Contact lenses have been helping people around, improving the vision and modifying the style statement. They
should not budge you even a bit if they are supplied to you by an authentic seller.
If upon wearing contact lenses, you notice even the slightest of the inflammation,
itching, redness of sensitivity to light, immediately remove them and seek
professional help if necessary.
