colorful sights: freshlook colorblends contacts.

recently, i had a friend ask me about colored contacts because she knows that i always wear them.  and yes, kerry, you are right - i do swear by my blue contacts.  without them, there's no me!  even my boyfriend said i looked different when i decided to just pop in my clear contacts one day.  lol

i've needed glasses ever since 6th grade.  my social studies teacher noticed that i was squinting a lot and couldn't answer any questions that required me to look at the chalkboard or projector screen.  two or three years later, i switched to clear contacts because i hated wearing glasses - they were cumbersome, kept slipping off my nose, and eliminated my peripheral vision [don't y'all hate that?!.  a couple years after that, i discovered colored contacts and decided to give them a try, and ever since then, i've never looked back [well.. hardly].

freshlook colorblends, i'm a loyal customer.  i've been using this brand for my colored-contacts needs since i've started wearing them... which has been about 8 years.  i've tried so many colors: blue, grey, honey, green, amethyst, turquoise, true sapphire, and sterling silver.

i suppose this post will show you what these colors looked like on me, minus honey, amethyst, and grey.  i can't seem to find any photos of me wearing those colors. for honey, imagine edward's eyes when he becomes a vampire.  for amethyst, it's like a dark purple... it doesn't show up too well on brown eyes.  the gray is like a paler blue... somewhat of a grey-blue... but not as grey as the sterling silver.  for the others, let's begin with the photos, shall we?

blue [not as bright as true sapphire]

green [didn't really show up that well on brown eyes]

turquoise [a beautiful blend of blue and green]

true sapphire [a very bright blue... i love it!]

sterling silver [a little paler than grey]
