I've had glasses since I was 6. Thursday I'm getting contacts! so here's some of my questions.

What's a good contact solution?

What's a good under eye concealer?

Are mini beauty blenders worth it for concealer? (love my original)

What other tips do you have makeup wise?

Where can I order contacts from online?

Thanks girls!

Me too! I use pure moist contact solution. I've had contacts since fourth grade. On the other questions I have yet to find the perfect concealer. You can order them online based off the strength of your glasses... Like the number your prescribed to.

1. Opti-free is what I've been using for years, no complaints

2. Age Rewind Eraser concealer is fairly easy to use, may crease on oily skin

You can't purchase "normal" lenses anywhere within a reasonable price online in my experience, but you can get circle lenses from $19-30 from stores like Pinkyparadise, Lensvillage, or vamp fangs.

I've had contacts for about 9 years.
1. I like the bio true contact solution. it makes my contacts feel more fresh compared to other solutions that I have tried.
2. I use mac prolong wear, and it cosmetics bye bye under eye corrector under my mac concealer - the combination works pretty well for my dark circles.
3. I have never used a beauty blender or a mini one, so I don't have any advice about that.
4. I have never ordered contacts online, but I've heard that wal mart and 1800 contacts are legitimate

Thanks ladies! I always have dark circles from Lack of sleep. I work 50-60 hrs a week. but my concealer always creases. I'm defiantly look into those solutions.

I've had contacts for 11 years. Because my eyes are sensitive and I'm prone to infection I use clear care and I SWEAR by it. I've had no problems with it at all. I switch btwn ordering from 1800contacts and vision direct. I also agree with the age rewind eraser. I have a beauty blender but I honestly don't use it often enough for me to justify you getting one.. Hope that helps!

I've used contacts for about 11+ years. :)
1. I've always used Renu contact solution.
2. A good under eye concealer is MAC prolongwear concealer!! Love it!
3. I've used the original beauty blender and I love it for under my eyes. But I haven't used the mini. They are most likely the same thing just smaller :)
4. Tips for contacts: careful with the eyeliner you use when wearing contacts because if it smudges on your contact it's so uncomfortable!! And a pain! :(

Order contacts from your optometrist ,SAMs club or walmart. Your eye has to be fitted for the correct lenses! You need to have a proper fitting contact because you could scratch your cornea or worse. Your eyes is a mucous membrane and putting in contacts that do not come from a reputable seller may damage them.

Basically any contact solution they have at the eye doctor's is good, given that they basically all have the same ingredients. (do NOT water!!) my personal favourite concealers are mac's pro longwear and nyx's concealer with a wand (forget the name). I used to be a huge fan of beauty blenders and I found the sharper end worked best for under eye concealer, but now I just use my fingers. hope this helps (:
