Mocha or Latte? I'm not talking about coffee right now but about the new Olens product - Olens Glowy Natural Mocha Brown and Latte Brown. For many people brown lenses are a safe option, but Olens Glowy Natural is not only safe, this series looks natural even on lighter eyes.
About Olens
Olens is the no. 1 premium colour contact lens brand from South Korea. This brand makes regular lenses as well as coloured lenses. It's a pioneer in Beauty&Healthy eye styling, and it's a brand that is recognised all over the world. Olens products were used in many Kdramas and photoshoots. The brand was in the spotlight of many beauty programs in Korea.
Can coloured lenses be corrective?
I feel like many people think that contact lenses are not for eyes with no vision problems and that coloured lenses shouldn't be used by people with vision issues. That's not true! The main reason for wearing lenses for many people is aesthetic issues or comfort issues - I started to wear lenses because I find glasses more problematic, and they usually don't fit me well. Lenses don't make me tired and I feel like thanks to contact lenses my sight is doing better than it would do with glasses. Coloured lenses are sometimes called "cosmetic lenses" since they change the visual colour of your iris, and that's something some people don't know - when you buy coloured lenses from Olens you can fit them to your needs, if you need corrective aspect of lenses, you can choose the shade of the lens and power. All the lenses I tested in this post are -3.00 power.
How to choose lenses for my eyes and skin?
If you want to try Olens so badly, but don't know what colour fits your skin - Olens has the #FindMyOlens option which helps you choose a lens shade that fits your skin tone. You can also choose graphic size and colour. There are even styling videos that can help you choose a makeup style to fit your eyes with Olens lenses on.
What's Puscon?
Since lenses used by New Jeans are mostly based on Puscon (only Haerin uses Nils Gray which are lenses made with HEMA material) it's good to know what you're using. Some of the puscon's features you should know about is that puscon is the safest bio material for contact lenses. It forms something called a "Strong Hydration Shield". It adds more moisture to the eye. Puscon prevents protein deposition and has a strong UV-block function to protect your eyes from UV radiation. Yes, UV radiation is dangerous for eyes, and it's quite rare to find lenses that block UV. My regular monthly lenses are made out of silicone-hydrogel, and puscon is more comfortable since it contains even more water and they don't get dry as fast.
Olens Glowy Natural
Olens Glowy Natural is a new series released by Olens. It's a new version of one of the previous Olens releases - the series Glowy. Glowy Natural adds deep choco gloss eyes. It gives a natural, gold highlight that blends with eye colour. The pigmentation of the lens is well-done, it's not visible to the human eye to see that you've got coloured lenses on.
Olens Glowy Natural Latte Brown
DIA (diameter) 14,2 mm | G.DIA (graphic diameter) 13,0mm | Base curve 8.7mm | Water content: 43% | Material: HEMA
Olens Glowy Natural Mocha Brown
DIA (diameter) 14,2 mm | G.DIA (graphic diameter) 13,0mm | Base curve 8.7mm | Water content: 43% | Material: HEMA
I guess it's easier for me to share with you my thoughts on both lenses together and comment on shade separately. Olens are one of the comfiest lenses, Olens Glowy Natural isn't based on Puscon, but still HEMA is a great material and 43% of water content is great for my eye. I tried Olens Glowy Natural Mocha Brown on a day when I had 3 hours of sleep so the lenses felt a bit uncomfortable but it's because of my own mistake aka not enough sleep + lots of dust and allergens. Still, Olens Glowy Natural are comfortable to wear even during long hours.
Olens Glowy Natural Latte Brown surprised me a lot. These lenses are warm, but they fit my eyes well. The effect is very subtle. I'm surprised how much I like this design even if it's not as strong as I like. I was pretty sure that I'm going to like Olens Glowy Natural Mocha Brown, but I feel like both designs are beautiful. Olens Glowy Natural Mocha Brown looks spectacular with my blue-green eyes, my eyes look more green than usual, and the lenses compliment my eyes.
I am from the US, can I still order lenses from Olens?
Yes. Contact lenses in the US are not sold as easily as in Europe. In comparison, in Europe, I can ask my optometrist or eye doctor to order lenses for me or I can order them on my own. Some brands are available in stores so even if you're out of lenses you can buy them. I had a situation when I got my first lenses and I didn't know that 1-day lenses are not as easy to put as 1-month lenses I needed to grab new pair in a random drugstore in Paris. The US situation looks different because of US FCLCA (The Fairness to Contact Lens Consumers Act) so Olens can be ordered if you're living in the US but your lenses will go through a prescription verification system.
Where to buy Olens lenses?
Olens Glowy Natural Mocha Brown and Olens Glowy Natural Latte Brown are available on Olens website. Both designs are sold in daily versions, each package contains 10pcs - 5 pairs, and one box costs $21. You can use my code BETWEENDOTS to save 10% on your Olens order.

Olens Glowy Natural series is a great choice for people with brown eyes, but this design fits green and blue eyes as well. Have you ever tried Olens before?
