The second pair look awesome! I'm really tempted to get some...but too lazy to get a contact prescription first (since it's different than for glasses, right?). I look weird without glasses anyway...but no point in having contacts and wearing glasses too ^_^'

you dont need a prescription to get circle lens! :D That's what makes them AWESOME! I could go into the american contact lens conspiracy but I wont bore you lololol. But yeah, if youve never had contacts you should probably get fitted at least once....I just wanted to put it out there in case anyone else did't know. The mandatory prescription annual renewal thing for contacts here is asinine...

Also, Ive been wearing circle lens for a long time,and my optometrist says my eyes are super healthy

Miss Julianna, I feel like the whole to-do about circle lenses being unhealthy is a combination of girls with improper contact lens hygiene and the FDA's uneasiness to make them legit. If you wear them properly, don't sleep in them or swim in them, and wash your hands before handling them, I don't see any reason why there can't be more cases of nice, healthy eyes like yours, haha.

By the way, what American Contact lens conspiracy is that? :D

Lol, its kinda a conspiracy I sleuthed out XD. Anyway, for along time I really wanted light colored lens but none looked "real" to me when I went to the optometrist. The selection was so limited. They look awful, and its like over a hundred dollars for a box! On top of that, you have to get your prescription renewed every year for contacts, and a check up is like 100$ or more ( ... )

Holy sugar thank you SO much! I need blue tinted lenses for both cosplay and Lolita but 60+ was a bit too rich for me. These are perfect and the site's orginized really well so I can actually navigate.

I know! Another site I wanted to buy from was Pinky Paradise: http://www.pinkyparadise.com/

But I haven't bought from them yet, so I'm not sure if their service is quite the same (Ships really fast from what I hear, though) their prices are around the same.

Both websites have cosplay/anime lenses, as well. (Although some of them scare me, hahah.)

I've ordered from Eye Candy Lens before and I agree with you- they're great! I've also found that out of most circle lens sites I've seen (pinky paradise, shoppingholics, etc), they have some of the best prices (especially with their free shipping...), and the widest variety of lenses that are available in higher prescriptions. My eyes are -6.00 and -7.00, so it's not always easy to find ones that go that high.

Thanks for the review. :D
