Sparkle Contact Lens Review - Miyuki 15mm Brown

Hi everyone! This will be the first time that I am gonna talk about contact lenses here. Although this isn't my first post about contact lens, I can not consider the first one a review coz I only uploaded photos of me wearing a certain contact lens which also happens to be a Sparkle brand. I have been using graded contact lens for many years now. It was introduced to me by a friend at work 5 years ago. I've been wearing eyeglasses that time for about a year already and I'm still so unused to it. I find it really uncomfortable, you know the feeling that something's hanging on your ears and nose bone, it annoys me so much. Until one day a new employee came in the office, we were from different departments but then I had to supervise her since I was in-charged to handle the department she was at during that time. She would always wear contact lenses at work and later on I found out that those were actually graded. So that's where I got the idea of trying it out for myself.

My eyesight have been corrected just recently so I'm now back to 20/20 vision. But my love for contact lenses didn't stop, especially now that I can use fashion contact lenses or the "Plano" ones. Let us proceed now to my review of the Sparkle Miyuki - Brown. I normally buy contact lenses that can be used for 1 year. Normally I would change my lenses every January as the new year starts. But this time I bought earlier because I wanted to avail of the Buy 1 Take 1 Christmas promos of online shops. So I ordered this Miyuki design in colors Brown and Gray and I got the two lenses + 2 contact lens case for only Php 399.99 + SF.

The Sparkle Miyuki is available in 7 colors:

This is how the packaging looks like. Each lens is in a sealed vial immersed in buffered isotonic saline solution. The lens color and design is printed on the top seal and the vial is labeled with contact lens' diameter, expiration date, period it can be used, where it was made from, what it is made of, the BC (base curve measurement) and the LOT code.

Before I opened the vials I checked its authenticity, coz you know fake lenses are almost everywhere. I'm not an expert at it so I did a research online for guidelines on how to atleast identify if the contact lens is authentic. Fortunately, the packaging of this seemed to matched with all the features of an authentic one.

So this how the Miyuki design looks like. It is 15mm in diameter so it does give the big eyes effect. Before we continue, let me remind you that wearing contact lens requires you to always ensure that your hands are clean in handling them. Ensure proper care, storage and disinfecting of your contact lens. Our eyes are very sensitive and wearing contact lens is not for everyone. It is best that you go have your eyes checked first, consult an eye doctor (Optometrist or Optician) for proper recommendations on the kind of contact lens that will suit your eye needs.

These are my eyes without the contact lens. I was born with naturally dark brown eyes but since I've never tried a brown contact lens, I wonder how it will look like on me. The closest shade to brown that I've tried so far was Hazel from Freshlook and it gave a noticeable effect on my eye color.

And these are my eyes with the Sparkle Miyuki - Brown on. If not with the big eyes effect you wouldn't notice that I am actually wearing contact lenses.

Below are some more photos of me with the contact lens. 

Lesson learned, brown eyes need not brown lenses. LoL Though I still think that there's no much difference in the color vibrancy if the user has a different eye color. This is my second time to own a Sparkle lens and I can say that they are consistently soft, very comfortable for long hours of usage. It makes you feel like you're not wearing a contact lens at all. I would also say that compared to those dolly lens with bigger diameters like the first one I had which has 17mm diameter, this 15mm lens is so much easier to wear.

I'm giving ★★★ for this contact lens. Took 2 stars away coz I wasn't happy of the color effect. Will I repurchase? Still can't tell, I will make a review of the Gray one and let's see if the color will be vibrant or noticeable. Let's admit it, we buy color contact lenses with the aim of changing our eye color. Have you tried wearing contact lens? I'd love to hear about your experience too. Feel free to comment about your thoughts on contact lenses.
