OLENS Eyelighter Glowy Contact Lens Collection Review

A new collection just in time for the coming fall season!

OLENS Global recently came out with a new colored contacts collection just in time for the upcoming fall season, and I couldn’t be more excited to try them out. Autumn has historically been a season where I like to play around with bolder makeup looks, but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve been leaning towards more natural daily looks. I’m not sure if it’s just because I’m getting older and realizing that I’d rather sleep in an extra hour in the mornings than do a full face of makeup or because the trend lately has also been transitioning to more natural look. I don’t think it’s important to follow what’s trending, but I’m curious if that’s also made an impact as to why I don’t go for bolder colors as much now. It might also have to do with preferring a quick and easy morning and nighttime routine now that I’m working long hours at a professional job. Either way, I’ve been really into the soft, natural look lately, so I’m loving the vision that OLENS had in mind when creating this new design.

Just a quick disclaimer before we go further, I did receive these as PR to test and review, but all opinions are my own and 100% honest. Receiving a product as a gift or for review purposes does not alter or affect how I feel about its performance and design. If I like a product, I will say that I do. In that same regard, if I am reviewing a product and I do not like it, I will say so. With that said, let’s continue with the review!

Now, I can’t do a product review without talking about the packaging. Of course, the product itself is the most important thing, but when a well-made product comes in beautiful packaging? Chef’s kiss. It just makes the experience that much more luxurious and satisfying. It also relays that the brand really put thought and care into designing the product as a whole.

The contacts container packaging is very well thought out. It includes the color, style, manufacture date, expiration date, lot number, prescription, base curve, and diameter on the packaging for each individual lens so that it’s clear even after throwing away the box. The back is transparent so that the design and color can be easily seen. The adhesive on the packaging makes it very secure and travel friendly. I also really appreciate that OLENS has different packaging for its monthly and daily contacts, so it’s clear which ones should be thrown out after a single wear and which ones can be worn again for up to 30 days. For those of you who are wondering, the packaging of the monthly lenses are flatter and more rectangular than the daily lenses.

OLENS Eyelighter Glowy contact lenses are currently available on the OLENS Global website with free standard shipping almost everywhere worldwide on orders over $100 and free express shipping with orders over $150. OLENS uses DHL, so shipping is super fast. These lenses are going for $29 for a monthly pair with an additional buy-one-get-one-free promotion, making them less than 50 cents per day. OLENS also offers some amazing new member benefits such discount coupons and products with some lenses going for as low as $1 for a monthly pair. OLENS even offers welcome kits where you can get three free pairs of daily lenses. I truly think OLENS is one of the most trustworthy brands with beautiful contact lens colors and designs, and I don’t just mean that in regards to getting the product delivered in a timely manner. OLENS holds its products to high eye safety standards and quality control that, as someone with a history of vision complications, I feel comfortable wearing these for a long time. For more information on the brand as a whole and how they follow strict safety regulations, feel free to view my review of the OLENS Scandi collection (a must-have collection for any BlackPink Blinks out there!).

The Eyelighter Glowy contacts all feature three different colors that seamless blend to create a soft yet defined look. There are three colors to choose from: glowy black, glowy brown, and glowy ash gray. You can see the comparison above as well as how they each compare to my regular eye color. You can move the bar in the images below to see the before and after effects.

I really love that OLENS created both a black and ash gray option. I find that black is not a common color when it comes to colored contact as most colored contacts are used to lighten up the irises and provide brighter color. I also love how the black option isn’t a singular black-gray shade gradient but includes some golden brown hues to make the eyes look softer. Glowy black is described as a dark gold shade of highlighter on a soft black base. This one would be a nice option for someone with dark eyes looking to bring in some natural light in a very subtle way. This one was my personal favorite out of the three since it truly gave off a my-eyes-but-better effect.

Glowy brown is a milk brown shade of highlighter on a natural brown base. It was surprisingly brighter than what I expected, giving off a slightly striking contrast with the lighter hues. I would say that this one looks the most elegant out of the three in my opinion.

Glowy ash gray is described as a magical olive shade of highlighter on an ash gray base. The color comes off almost as a blue-gray color when worn. I would say that this one is one of the more wearable grays from the OLENS collections that I’ve tried. It’s actually quite nice and provides a nice contrast to my eyes while still being wearable.
