Costume Contact Lenses - Be the Star at Any Party

Published by a1market under Fashion & Style

Want to transform yourself into a werewolf, zombie, or alien? Halloween eye contacts can make the transformation a complete success. Find out what are your options and where you can get contacts that don’t interfere with your vision and will make everybody’s head turn.

What costume contact lenses are on offer?

There are two brands of color costume contacts that offer you the stunning contacts - Crazy Lenses by Cooper Vision and Wild Eyes by Ciba Vision. Both companies are major manufacturers of prescription contacts, including corrective lenses, color contacts and theatrical lenses. So if you buy either Wild Eyes or Crazy Lenses, you can be sure you are paying for  top color costume lenses  .

Top selling costume contacts

  • Cat’s Eye - yellow, white, green or red, with a vertical black pupil just like a real cat
  • Complete white lens - makes your eye white, good for a zombie effect
  • Black-out - makes your eye completely black
  • Bright red lenses - for red vampire eyes
  • Spirals - red, yellow and white, create a crazy effect
  • Lenses with Fire effect - bright yellow flames on a red background, around your pupil
  • Bloodshot - red blood vessels over white background, very scary

 

Here are pics of  Halloween contacts.

There are also many smaller companies and individual artists, who offer different designs for costume contact lenses. You can even get custom made lenses, with any design you like.

Costume contacts safety

You might have heard that Halloween contacts can be ricky for your eyes. You shouldn’t worry; though, because high quality contact lenses are absolutely safe; only improper care of them can cause problems. If you already wear contact lenses for vision correction, care for costume contacts is absolutely the same as for ordinary contacts.

If you are new to contact lenses, though, be sure to consult your eye doctor before you order yourself a pair of theatrical contacts. All contact lenses come with instructions on how to care for them. Be sure to read and follow these instructions - taking care of your lenses takes only a couple minutes.

Here it is, in a nut shell:

  • don’t wear your contact lenses for longer than 8 hours and never sleep in them
  • only use contact lens solution to store and disinfect your contact lenses, never use tap water
  • wash your hands before handling your contacts
  • never wear a lens that is torn
  • take your costume lenses off if they irritate your eyes
  • never give your contact lenses to other people

Buying your Halloween contacts

In September, October when the shops start displaying Halloween costumes, you have probably seen these colorful boxes for sale everywhere - beauty salons, flea markets, even gas stations. However, it is not a good idea to buy your theatrical contact lenses from these places. Most of them sell no-brand costume contacts, so you can’t know where they were manufactured or from what materials. Remember, the surface of your eye is very delicate, and using paints that are not designed for contact lenses (as is the case with the majority of lenses available on the streets) can damage your eyes.

There are two safe ways to obtain costume contacts. One is to visit an eye doctor, get a prescription and order color lenses through your doctor’s office. Another option is to order your costume lenses online from trusted contact lens retailers. This way, you can get the best price. As with most online orders, your contacts will usually arrive in about a week, so you should place your order in advance.

Like the idea of costume contacts? They are great fun and, with the range of lenses on the market, you can find contactsto match your costume perfectly.

Titanium: The New Trend In Men’s Jewelry

Published by Jennifer under Jewelry

When most people hear titanium the first things that come to mind are probably golf clubs, medical plates or rods and aircraft. This naturally occurring element has various uses including a relatively new application in jewelry making.

In 1791, titanium was first discovered near Cornwall, England by pastor William Gregor who was an amateur geologist and unaware of what he had uncovered. In 1795 this metal was rediscovered and given its name which comes from the Titans in Greek mythology. Although titanium can be found around the world in abundance it is always bonded to other elements making the process to recover it is fairly extensive. The Kroll Process named after William Kroll in 1946 was and still is today used to produce titanium for commercial use.

Titanium is known for its strength in fact it is the strongest naturally occurring metal known (steel is not a pure natural element). This strength makes titanium resistant to dings, scratches, dents and bending that most other metals are prone to. Another advantage of this strength is that titanium jewelers are able to created designs by carving, grooving or inlaying without causes damage to the integrity of the piece.

This silver or grayish white metal is very lightweight, strong and 100% hypoallergenic. In fact titanium is biocompatible in that it will not cause reactions or irritations with your skin or cause a discoloration which is common with many other metals.

Although titanium does not corrode or rust it does respond to an oxidation process that enables you to get titanium in many different colors that are not possible with platinum or gold. For instance these color variations can give you a silver ring that in different lights or at different angels can appear blue or purple. If you like color variations it is also possible to find rings that are made from a combination of metals for instance gold and titanium.

Since titanium is not a precious metal, jewelry made from it are among the most affordable available. In fact you can purchase rings of basic design for under a hundred dollars, making them an extremely good buy.

One characteristic that you must be aware of when purchasing a titanium ring is that in most cases they can not be resized. In some cases jewelers may be able to size up by a very small amount but it is safer to assume that the size of ring you buy is the one you are going to have to keep. By the same token it is important to know what grade of titanium your ring is made of because in an emergency situation not all grades can be cut off very easily.
