♡ Cleaning your circle lens cases ♡


Hi lovelies!
♡ A few days ago, i decided it was about time i cleaned out the cases of my circle lenses so I thought i ought to make a post showing you all how I did so! This is my first 'How to' post, i hope you like it! 

Let's get started!


What you will need:
  • A clean bowl of hot water (not warm)
  • A second smaller bowl w/ solution (to hold lens)
  • A soft unused toothbrush (or any new & small brush that scrubs well)
  • Clean towel / paper towel 
  • Lens cases that need cleaning lol

♡ First i want to point out that no soap or cleaning agents are needed at all! They can damage your eyes and the lens themselves. Hot water is sufficient enough! Unless you use a specific product for this purpose. 


To begin, fill a bowl with hot water straight out of the kettle, its best to use hot water to clean out the grime and kill bacteria. Take  you circle lens out of the cases and then put all of them into one bowl with soft lens solution in it and covered it to prevent anything from falling in. 

Next, pour out all the old solution in the cases and placed them in the hot water to soak for a little while. 


After words, grab your soft brush and get scrubbing! I used a new and soft toothbrush.


Places you should pay attention to:

1. Inner curve
2. Creases on the sides



The area labeled "2", if you haven't already noticed with you lenses, usually gets dry solution on it and between the creases. Most likely when taking out the lens when putting them on, or if the tops weren't put on tightly enough, therefore leaking solution and causing it to dry into a flaky substance. 





So make sure to scrub every inch of you cases with you brush and hot water, no soap or other cleaning agents are needed. Unless it is a product made specifically for this.



* Scrub , scrub , scrub *
After words, rinse them over the faucet with hot water.


Once you are satisfied with the cleaning you have done, lay your now sparkling clean lens cases facing down, on a clean dry towel or paper towel to dry them out. 


Its best not to wipe at them to prevent stray fibers from settling in them. Air dry them in a location that has little to no product, dust etc flying in the air.


Once dry, fill them 3/4 the way with your solution and get out your soaking lens from the second bowl and put them into their rightful cases.


This is my current collection of circle lens. Its very small but I have a bunch of orders and future reviews, coming up soon!

If you would like me to make a post about cleaning the circle lens themselves, let me know!

KPOP2 Circle Lenses Banner


Hello everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween this year, I had a great time with some of my really good friends. Ate tons of candy and watched scary movies, I love scary movies but i don't like watching the alone lol.


Anyways, today's review was sponsored by KPOP2 they sell several types of circle lenses, both natural looking colors as well as bright  cosplay / costume versions from different brands in Korea!

I have been wanting Violet lenses for a while so i settled for these:

 Iris Color Violet

♡ I was quite shocked by the package they sent me. I usually get boring and plain yellow envelops when i get a package but my usually expectation was throw out when i got this hot pink envelope in the mail. It really boosted my expectations for my lenses ^^. 


♡ The brand 'Iris Color' is a Korean based circle lens manufactures.From what I've read on them, they are well trusted and one of the most popular brands in Korea.  ♡


♡ They come in several prescriptions, from 0.00 ~ 6.0, but i got mine with none as usual. ♡



 Lens info:

Diameter : 14.5mm

 Water Content : 38%

 Life Span : 6-8 months 


Range : 0.0 - 6.0




♡ The detail on the lenses is very visible from close up and slightly less from far ♡


♡ I also received this cute case to put my lens in ♡



♡ I love the color and the design on this lenses! It's so detailed and pretty, plus it's very noticeable even from slightly far away. They are also a little to big to look natural but the color doesn't stand out too much.   ♡



♡ Btw i'll be making a post about these falsies among other Japanese and Chinese lashes I own. Look forward~! 



Details:


 5/5 

The design on these lens is very pretty and detailed. The lace look is very vivid and pretty, especially for a gothic lolita / 'dark' look.

5/5 

The enlargement is quite shocking actually, and my eyes appear much larger than i thought. They are definitely too big for a natural looks, so i would recommend them for a cosplay etc look.

 5/5 

The color is very pretty and I love it. Most violet lens I've seen look almost grey / pink because they are usual lighter shades, but these lens are much darker allowing the violet to clearly show.


Comfort: 5/5 

♡ Despite their size, i found them much more comfortable than other lenses i own. I noticed that they were slightly thinner than other lens i have, which might be what makes them less noticeable.  Either way, I barely felt them when i put them in. They also don't get dry fast at all. I wore them for 4 hours straight without feeling them dry up, I even forgot i had them in until i looked in the mirror lolz. ♡


5/5 

♡ I give their shipping a 5/5 because they arrived super quick! Within two weeks they were in my mail box, securely packed. Communication with the store was also good, but very short or small and to the point. They kept it strictly business like, which was fine but it would be nice to chat a little bit. ♡
