Pinky Paradise: Cloud Nine Pink

Sunday 17 May 2015

As some of you may know I am cosplaying Super Sonico at MCM this month and I needed some pink contact lenses to finish off Sonico's look. After asking online which is the best place to get lenses from, Riiri-chan aka Kerri suggested Pinky Paradise to me and that is exactly where I went. I thought I would do a review for you guys since I know a few of you are fellow cosplayers yourselves!

What is Pinky Paradise?
PP is the largest online store for contact lenses. They stock everything from circle lenses to contact accessories and eye care products. There are over 900+ styles to choose from, freebies with each order and if you order over $130 (GBP - £80) you can get free express shipping.

I ordered the Vassen Cloud Nine in Pink with a bottle of solution to keep my contacts nice and clean. The solution was £3.79 for a 120ml bottle and came with a contact lens case too! They took around 2 weeks to arrive so if you're wanting them for a convention, make sure to order them a few weeks in advance.
 


I was very excited when they arrived. They were well packaged, coming in a bubble lined mailer and wrapped in squishy foam to ensure the bottles did not break during transit.
They come in two little bottles in fluid which keeps them protected and hydrated. Before opening make sure you check for any damage to the lenses by looking underneath & making sure they are the right lenses too!
You can buy prescription lenses but I bought them as -0.00, make sure to check with your optician before buying and inserting lenses to make sure you have the correct prescription.

I removed my lenses from the bottles and left my contacts in the solution overnight as suggested. You should have yours in at least 8 hours in the solution before wearing. For first time wearers, its suggested to use them for 3 hours and then next time for a little bit longer. Ease into wearing them so they are more comfortable for longer use but please don't wear them for more than 8 hours as they will start drying out your eyes.

This is my first time ordering and wearing contacts. I  must say I'm very impressed with Pinky Paradise. I can see why they are the number 1 place to go for lenses. It took me a while to get my lenses in. I was struggling alittle bit but I remembered watching Noodlerellas video on how to get them in and I just went for it.  At first my eye was like WOAH. what the heck is on me and were alittle irritated but after five minutes they adjusted and felt more comfortable. You get used to them quickly and my second time inserting them was alot easier for me. The lenses themselves are a beautiful pink colour and have cloud shape design around them. My eyes are naturally greenish brown so you can see that colour popping out ever so slightly but the rest of the lens blends in nicely. I recommend these to anyone who needs to cosplay Sonico or just wants some cute pink lenses to make their eyes pop! I can't wait to order more. I have my eye on some blue and purple lenses! :D
