GOLD 3CON COLLECTIONIt's already an established fact (if you've read my previous blogs) that I'm a big fan of contact lenses! Aside from it being a fashion item, I also really need it because my eyes have prescription. For the past four months, I have already completely switched to only using OLENS contact lenses. I've already tried several collections and I'm so happy OLENS let me choose which one I wanted to try. I chose the Gold 3con collection because I noticed that it had a stronger color payoff than the recent ones I've tried— more on that later! When it comes to comfortability, I can really say that all lenses from OLENS are extremely comfortable! While some of their newest contacts are made from their patented material Puscon, the Gold 3con collection is made out of HEMA, which is the traditional material for contacts. The HEMA material is more suitable for longer use with its increased durability, which is fitting since these are monthly contacts. Additionally, HEMA does not easily adhere to dust particles, making it less prone to damage. COMFORT: 10/10! very durable yet comfortable! All the contacts in the entire collection has the same graphic diameter of 13.1mm and a total diameter or 14.0mm, which is slightly bigger when compared to the Scandi Collection (which I have reviewed in my previous blog!). Like I said, I wanted to try a stronger look for my eyes, and this definitely is a big plus since my eyes also look bigger when wearing them, check photos below! SIZE: 10/10! actually depends on your preference! And finally, the five colors of the collection— Hazel, Ice, Lavender, Ocean and Lime Gold 3con! Let's talk about it one by one; hazel gold 3conThe Hazel Gold 3con has a very yellowish-brown shade that really makes your eyes stand out. It comes off as a strong, shiny, and definitely noticeable. I've noticed that the color appears stronger in picture, making it a bit reptile-looking. I feel like I'd reserve this for more special events, as it would look slightly "too much" for everyday use. Perfect for: Special Events, Dinners ice gold 3conAs a lover of gray contacts, the Ice Gold 3con definitely looks more subtle as it has a mix of both gray and brown colors, making it look more natural. The grayness is just right, but in photos it appears to have a bit of a blue tone. Nevertheless, it looks mesmerizing yet natural. Good for daily use! Perfect for: Everyday use, simple looks lavender gold 3conIt's my first trying out a purple color for contacts! I thought purple was only for cosplaying, dressing up with costumes, and the like, but this one surprisingly looks very natural and cute! I didn't expect it to look good on my dark brown eyes, it does appear a bit gray with a hint of purple. Still looks cute and I'd definitely wear this new color I've discovered! Perfect for: Casual and cute looks ocean gold 3conThe Ocean Gold 3con literally embodies the word "mesmerizing." This is the best blue contacts I've tried on so far, as it really gives that baby blue eyes vibe! It makes my eyes look like the deep ocean (which is probably why it's named after that!) and the blue tone mixed with light brown is just perfect. Compared to Scandi Aqua, the Ocean Gold 3con has a stronger color and definitely pops more. Perfect for: Eye-centered looks, special events lime gold 3conI love how the Lime Gold 3con really comes off as green on my eyes. Most times green contacts just look light brown when worn on my dark brown eyes, but this one really gives out that green-limey feel! It's also subtle and just enough tone of green to wear on a daily basis, without making you look like a reptile. Perfect for: Casual and simple looks I'd say that this collection really screams color! I don't think these colors are as natural as the Scandi collection, instead it's really focused on giving you that pop of color in your eyes. So if you're looking for contacts which you can wear everyday, I recommend the Ice Gold 3con and Lavender Gold 3con. The other colors are good if you're really dressing up and want to draw extra attention to your eyes. COLORS: 10/10 for its variety! All of the contacts in the Gold 3con collection all have the same pattern, which is a brown inner circle that's blended smoothly with the main color, all without a dark outer ring (which I'm not such a fan of because it makes my eyes look so fake)! PATTERN: 10/10! all OLENS designs are well thought of and very detailed! ALL IN ALL, The Gold 3con collection is definitely underrated! The colors are superb and you can really choose a color for every mood. Although I don't see myself wearing these on a daily basis, I would definitely grab a pair from the Gold 3con collection from time to time, especially when I would attend events or I'm doing creative looks.

BLACKPINK is definitely in my area! Rosé, Lisa, Jennie & Jisoo have been muses of OLENS since 2018 and I am living for it (arent we all?)! I got the chance to try out their top picks and I’ll let you know my thoughts in this blog. OLENS is actually the no. 1 contact lens brand globally and has partnered and been loved by global stars and influencers such as Bad Yoyo, BTS, and even BLACKPINK! More than being a fashion and stylish item, OLENS definitely puts their customer’s safety first as their products are developed with Puscon, a biocompatible hydrophilic material that is KFDA approved. As contacts come into direct contact with our naked eye, it’s important to make sure that these are made only with the best materials. OLENS? Safe and stylish indeed! Let’s talk about BLACKPINK’s top picks! ROSÉ—SECRISS 3CON NATURAL GRAYThe Secriss 3CON collection was actually named after the terms "Secret" and "Iris," which in other terms is the best kept eye beauty secret of some. In this case, Rosé actually revealed this to be her eye-styling secret! PATTERN: The Secriss 3CON Natural Gray gives your eyes that subtle shine that looks natural enough to wear everyday. The pattern itself is very graphic and vibrant, and that actually gives life to my dull eyes. Since my eyes are dark brown, there's not much of a change with the color. However, I noticed that this really adds definition to my eyes, which is indeed perfect for everyday use and not drawing much attention to it. This is probably one of the most natural yet captivating contacts I've tried from OLENS! The contacts itself has 3 colors: Brown, Light Gray and Dark Gray/Black, which gives that "graphic look" to my eyes. SIZE: All the contacts in the Secriss 3CON Natural line has a graphic diameter of 13.1mm, covering up almost the entire iris which also makes my eyes look bigger. Just like the other products of OLENS, this is also very easy to wear. DURATION: The Secriss 3CON Natural line only offers 1-day contacts, available in 10 or 20 pairs per box. Before, I used to go for monthly contacts since I had to wear them everyday, and this is my first time trying out dailies. Since I (and most of us) have been home most of quarantine, I'm starting to think that dailies would save us more because you'd only open one when you need it, so you'd be able to get the most of it! Perfect for: Everyday Office/School Look! lisa—SECRISS 3CON CORAL GRAYLisa's pick is from the Secriss collection as well! But hers is from the Secriss 3CON Coral Collection, which is more pigmented and stylish than the Secriss 3CON Natural Collection. PATTERN: Lisa's pick, the Secriss 3CON Coral Gray gives out more of that 3D dimension in my eyes and is definitely more pigmented than the Secriss 3CON Natural Gray (which was Rosé's pick!) You can also see how the pattern is more precise and visible on my dark brown eyes, compared to the Secriss 3CON Natural Gray. It also has a subtle circle line with 3 blended colors, and a delicate yellow-gold circled dots in the middle. Since this is more stylish, I'd use this for more sophisticated and sexy looks. SIZE: All the contacts in the Secriss 3CON Coral line has a bigger graphic diameter of 13.5mm, which covers more than the Secriss 3CON Natural line. Just like the other products of OLENS, this is also very easy to wear. DURATION: The Secriss 3CON Coral line also only offers 1-day contacts, available in 10 or 20 pairs per box. Perfect for: Edgy and Stylish Looks! jennie—SCANDI LIGHT GRAYJennie, on the other hand, went for a more natural and realistic eyestyling with Scandi Collection. PATTERN: The Scandi collection is designed to blend well with your eyes, with "No Edge Lines" and having blendable colors. I've never been a fan of those contacts with harsh lines that make it seem like my eyes are fake. Scandi Light Gray is a definite crowd favorite because it has such a simple yet beautiful pattern. You can also see the true color of the contacts in my eyes, unlike other gray contacts that appear blue on dark colored eyes. SIZE: The entire Scandi Collection has a graphic diameter of 11.9mm, this is because it blends to your eyes' natural color as the color goes out. I also realized that my eyes appear a bit smaller than it actually is, giving a more cute and dainty look. DURATION: The Scandi Collection comes in 1-day and 1-month boxes. However, the Light Gray variant is only available in 1-month packs. Perfect for: Chic and Cute Looks! JISOO —SCANDI hazelJisoo also went for the same collection Jennie chose, the, more natural and realistic, Scandi Collection. PATTERN: Like I said, the Scandi collection is designed to blend well with your eyes, with "No Edge Lines" and having blendable colors. Scandi Hazel looks a lot more subtle, and is perfect for everyday use! It looks just like my natural eyes but more defined-- it literally brings color to my eyes. It's pattern is similar to the natural irises that we have, but is definitely more detailed and gives more depth. SIZE: The entire Scandi Collection has a graphic diameter of 11.9mm, this is because it blends to your eyes' natural color as the color goes out. I also realized that my eyes appear a bit smaller than it actually is, giving a more cute and dainty look. DURATION: The Scandi Collection comes in 1-day and 1-month boxes. Scandi Hazel comes in either 1-day (20pcs) or 1 month boxes. Perfect for: Everday and Natural Looks!
FINAL THOUGHTS: Out of all the contacts from the OLENS X BLACKPINK series, I could say that Scandi Light Gray is my all-time favorite (and not just because Jennie is my bias)! I really like drawing attention to my eyes in a subtle way, and I just get so much compliments when I wear the Scandi Light Gray. Despite that being my favorite, all of their top picks are certainly stunning, you just have to choose which one fits your personality best-- or you could maybe just try the entire OLENS X BLACKPINK series? ;) IMPORTANT INFO:
