Charmed phantasee lenses from Vision direct

Halloween is one of my most favorite nights of the year. I think it's because it's that one night where the majority of people you see on a night out are wearing fancy dress (including me!) Therefore when I received an email last week from Vision Direct asking if I'd like to try out and review a pair of their phantasee cosmetic Halloween lenses I could only say yes!

Cosmetic contact lenses - Vision Direct; Studded zip up bodice top - New Look; Cross print skirt - New Look; Shoes - New Look

Smudged my makeup a little getting them in and out. Would recommend putting makeup on after putting lenses in to avoid panda eyes effect!

As shown in the pictures, I chose the charmed lenses as I thought they'd be easy to create an outfit around. I tried to work around a "witchy" theme and so styled them with my New Look skirt and top to create a Gothic kind of look.

Having never used contact lenses before I was a little apprehensive, but the instructions that came with the lenses were really easy to follow and after a few attempts (and the initial "ohmygosh I'm poking something in my eye" shock) I managed to get them in easily enough. Once I was used to having the lenses in (took about 20 minutes or so) I also found they were quite comfortable and they definitely made my eyes stand out - I  was really impressed!

Overall I think they're a great way of adding something a bit extra to a costume, although I think I'd need to practice taking them out a bit more before wearing them on a night out!

What do you think of cosmetic lenses? Would they be something you'd wear?
