<p>Why not re-create your favourite Star Trek character?</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span class="full-image-float-right ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 180px;" src="http://eyesbright.squarespace.com/storage/9349389_41c685f182.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1369214925592" alt="" /></span></span>Spock</span></p>
<p>These <a href="http://www.eyesbright.com/crazy-and-pattern-lenses/crazy-contact-lenses/colourvue-sonic-blue-contact-lenses.aspx">Sonic Blue Lenses</a> will work really well with a Spock outfit; they have a memorising deep sky-blue colour which will brighten up any solar system. Combine with Spock eyebrows, ears and you will dazzle onlookers.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Captain Kirk</span></p>
<p>Although Captain Kirk was human, you could create your very own version of the Star Trek legend with a set of matching red and black <a href="http://www.eyesbright.com/popular-themes/halloween-contact-lenses/carrie-white-blood-red-contact-lenses.aspx">Carrie White Blood Red Lenses</a>. After all, Kirk might one day revert to the darkside&hellip;..</p>

<p><a href="http://www.eyesbright.com/contact-lenses-by-lifespan/yearly-crazy-contact-lenses/crazy-white-out-contact-lenses.aspx">White Out Lenses</a> will look great for a <span style="color: windowtext;">Borg Queen</span> costume idea, who appeared in <span style="color: windowtext;">Star Trek: First Contact</span> and <span style="color: windowtext;">Star Trek: Voyager</span>. A preeminent female villain, recreating her pearl white, alien-like features is sure to impress any ardent Trekkie.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/data+star+trek">Data</a></p>
<p>The Next Generation's equivalent of Spock, Data was the Federation's first android citizen and officer. Combine off-gold coloured face paint with some <a href="http://www.eyesbright.com/halloween-contact-lenses/film-tv-contact-lenses/avatar-contact-lenses.aspx">Avatar Lenses</a> for an amazingly life-like costume.</p>

<p>The first Klingon to enlist in Starfleet, Worf is one of the most interesting-looking Star Trek characters, and a very daring costume idea. Combine a long brown wig with facial hair and a set of dark brown <a href="http://www.eyesbright.com/contact-lenses-by-brand/phantasee-contact-lenses/lunar-eclipse-contact-lenses.aspx">Lunar Eclipse Contact Lenses</a> for authentic effect.</p>

<p>If you are planning on hitting the clubbing or festival circuit this summer it&rsquo;s important that you look the part.

Combine these fashionable lenses with a bright, fluorescent dress or neon vest and glow sticks and you will be the light and soul of the party! If you really want to stand out, why not combine with fluorescent powder make-up<span style="color: black;">?</span> Glow in the dark gloves and tights could also really help to create an overall effect.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span class="full-image-float-left ssNonEditable"><span><a href="http://www.eyesbright.com/contact-lenses-by-colour/white-coloured-contact-lenses/lunatic-contact-lenses.aspx"><img style="width: 185px;" src="http://eyesbright.squarespace.com/storage/Lunatic-Contact-Lenses.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1366892015544" alt="" /></a></span></span>The lunatic look</span></p>

<p>If you are keen to relive your youth then why not turn the clock back to the early 90s and the years of acid house and Shamen hits. &nbsp;Men can combine our Acid Lenses with an <a href="http://raveclothing.spreadshirt.co.uk/acid-house-A7874199/customize/color/3">acid house t-shirt</a>, florescent bracelets and glow sticks.

<p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Biohazard</span></p>
<p>&ldquo;Danger, danger, high voltage!&rdquo; If you want to look at your electric best then combine these Biohazard Lenses with something loud and bold. Women can combine these with a biohazard corset and men can simply add a t-shirt. If you really want to stand out why not combine with a <a href="http://www.joke.co.uk/biohazard-suit~70134/?ref=base&amp;utm_source=GoogleBase&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;gclid=CNCL_LWH0rYCFXHLtAodLmEAaw">biohazard suit and mask</a>? Zombie rubber gloves will add the finishing touches to a look which will both repel and revere.</p>

It&rsquo;s time to write our New Year resolutions for 2013. Do you know what you want out of the New Year? If you&rsquo;re not too sure, why not make one resolution to do something new every month? Just changing one thing a month can make a resolution easier to keep, but what to change? We&rsquo;ve come up with a couple of ideas.</p>
<ol></ol>
<p><strong>January</strong>: For one week say yes. Inspired by the Jim Carey film, Yes Man all you need to do is say yes, unless it goes against your morals or the law. Just to do it for one week and find out where it takes you.</p>
<p><strong>February</strong>: Get that hair cut. We all have that one hairstyle that we love and admire, but are too scared to have done. &nbsp;Do it, hair grows back and if the hairstyle doesn&rsquo;t suit you at least you can say that you&rsquo;ve done it. On the upside, you could have the haircut of your dreams. You never know unless you give it a go.</p>
<p><strong>March</strong>: Love chocolate, crisp or cheese? Give it up for a week; you never know you may discover another guilty pleasure.</p>
<p><strong>April</strong>: Change your eye colour. Have you always wanted to know what you look like with blue eyes? Why not find out by wearing some <a href="http://www.eyesbright.com/">coloured contact lenses</a>? You can have a lot of fun with them. Play a trick on your family, friends and colleagues and see if they notice anything new with you.</p>
<p><strong>May</strong>: Try a new sport out. If you&rsquo;re tired of going to the gym or attending the same old yoga class, try something new. You may really enjoy it. It&rsquo;s also a great way to meet new people.</p>
<p><strong>June</strong>: Ask that guy out, what&rsquo;s the worst that could happen? If he says no then at least you know and can move on, but if he says yes then you could end up on the date you&rsquo;ve been thinking about for months. There&rsquo;s no time to think &lsquo;what if&rsquo; and &lsquo;maybe&rsquo;.</p>
<p><strong>July</strong>: Skydive, or do something else that&rsquo;s equally extreme and thrilling. It will be an experience you&rsquo;ll never forget and an event that you&rsquo;ll be talking about for years to come.</p>
<p><strong>August</strong>: Travel somewhere you&rsquo;ve never been before. It doesn&rsquo;t have to be abroad it can be here in the UK. Britain has some wonderful places to visit. There is the Lake District, Cornwall and the Norfolk Broads among many other beautiful destinations.</p>
<p><strong>September</strong>: Take up a cooking class. Learning something new always brings excitement, and just imagine how many fabulous diner parties you&rsquo;ll host.</p>
<p><strong>October</strong>: Discover a new style. Throughout our teens we experimented with fashion to find what our style is. However, discovering new fashion trends doesn&rsquo;t have to end just because you&rsquo;re not a teenager any more.</p>
<p><strong>November</strong>: Give something back. Join a soup kitchen or a charity organisation for a month. You can feel a lot better in yourself for doing something good. There is nothing wrong with getting enjoyment out of helping others.</p>
<p><strong>December</strong>: It is the one month that we gear everything we have to one special day, Christmas. This year, or perhaps next year, why not make your own presents? A gift that has been handmade with love is always well received.</p>
<ol></ol>
<p>These are, but a few of the things you can do to ensure you make the most of 2013 and make it a year you&rsquo;ll never forget.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://blog.eyesbright.com/blog/rss-comments-entry-32507109.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>A New Year, A New You</title><category>Style</category><category>contact lenses</category><category>lenses</category><category>lenses for dark eyes</category><category>natural</category><category>new year</category><dc:creator>eyesbright</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 08 Jan 2013 14:52:35 +0000</pubDate><link>http://blog.eyesbright.com/blog/2013/1/8/a-new-year-a-new-you.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">502580:5741270:32496589</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-float-right ssNonEditable"><span><a href="http://www.eyesbright.com" target="_blank"><img style="width: 250px;" src="http://blog.eyesbright.com/storage/4731499213_13c7f7ff42_z.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1357656814867" alt="" /></a></span></span>Welcome to 2013, a new year and a new you. It&rsquo;s now time to start your New Year resolutions and if you liked our idea for trying something new every month, you&rsquo;re sure to have noticed a couple of style suggestions.</p>
<p>We have recommended that you change your hairstyle, try out a new fashion trend that you usually wouldn&rsquo;t and to experiment with different eye colours.</p>
<p>At <a href="http://www.eyesbright.com/">Eyesbright</a> we pride ourselves in offering you a wide selection of coloured and patterned contact lenses. These can be used in your daily beauty regime or implemented in your fancy dress. <a href="http://www.eyesbright.com/popular-themes/halloween-contact-lenses/">Halloween</a> is one of our busiest periods as many of you opt to bring the essence of your chosen character to your eyes. However, you don&rsquo;t just have to wear them for fancy dress occasions.</p>
<p>If you have dark eyes and you&rsquo;ve always wondered what you&rsquo;d look like with baby blues, we have a great range of <a href="http://www.eyesbright.com/fashion-and-beauty-contact-lenses/contact-lenses-for-dark-eyes/">lenses for dark eyes</a>. In this collection you will find a matter of all eyeshades from evening grey to lustrous green and many more.</p>
<p>We also have a variety of lenses to choose from if you want to swap your natural blue eyes for something a bit sultrier. From dark chocolate browns to pretty hazels, you&rsquo;re sure to find an eyeshade that catches your attention.</p>
<p>The colour of your eyes can tell onlookers a lot about your personality. So with every eye colour that you choose, you can also have fun playing with different personas. According to <a href="http://www.shopeastwest.com/blog/eye-care/eye-color-personality-traits">Shopeastwest</a>:</p>
<p>If you have brown eyes you&rsquo;re grounded, independent, attractive, reliable, kind, loving and adore meeting new people</p>
<p>If you have blue eyes you&rsquo;re selfless, assertive, have an acute sense of observation and are extremely good looking</p>
<p>If you have green eyes you&rsquo;re vibrant, compassionate, creative, good looking and are spiritual in nature</p>
<p>If you have grey eyes you&rsquo;re sensitive and portray a deep internal strength</p>
<p>So why not try something new this year and experiment with different eyeshades?</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://blog.eyesbright.com/blog/rss-comments-entry-32496589.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Make-up Tutorial: New Year’s Eve</title><category>Happy New Year</category><category>Style</category><category>beauty</category><category>clubbing</category><category>eyelashes</category><category>lenses</category><category>make-up tutorial</category><dc:creator>eyesbright</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 20 Dec 2012 10:02:18 +0000</pubDate><link>http://blog.eyesbright.com/blog/2012/12/20/make-up-tutorial-new-years-eve.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">502580:5741270:32076324</guid><description><![CDATA[<p style="padding-left: 150px;"><strong><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><a href="http://www.eyesbright.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://blog.eyesbright.com/storage/2012-12-18_1020.png?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1355826166617" alt="" /></a></span></span></strong></p>
<p>It is the party of the year, the one event we all look forward to and the occasion when everyone looks their best. In this make-up tutorial we&rsquo;re going to share with you our beauty tips and tricks that ensure you stand out from the crowd this New Year&rsquo;s Eve.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Let&rsquo;s sparkle and shine</span></p>
<ol> </ol><ol> </ol>
<p>As you do every day, you will need to apply a good primer to your face after moisturising.</p>
<p>Next you need to apply your foundation. For an even application we suggest that you use a foundation brush.</p>
<p>Dot concealer under your eyes, around your nose and cover any blemishes you want to disappear. Then blend.</p>
<p>A bronzer is a fantastic product to use to contour your features. The trick is to frame your face with bronzer and leave the middle of your face untouched. Onlookers will be drawn to the lighter sections of your face, making your features look defined and your face slimmer.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The same rule for contouring your face with bronzer applies to your cheeks. With your blusher you need to highlight the bottom of your cheekbones so they are more pronounced.</p>
<p>Before you grab your favourite eyeliner, choose a sparkling eyeshadow and apply to your eyelids. Once you&rsquo;re happy with the effects (you may wish to blend a couple of colours) line your lashlines (top and bottom) with eyeliner. For a great New Year look, we love <a href="http://www.lovelyish.com/757303999/glittery-new-years-eve-makeup-eye-look/">Lovelyish&rsquo;s Glittery New Years Eve Eye Look</a>.</p>
<p>Insert your chosen pair of <a href="http://www.eyesbright.com/">coloured contact lenses</a> (see our recommendations below). If you have never used coloured contact lenses before and would like to know how to safely insert them, we have a great guide on our YouTube channel:&nbsp; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6TklilJZMg">How to insert contact lenses</a>.</p>
<p>Last, but by no means least, finish off your look with a pair of dazzling false eyelashes. We have a superb range for you to choose from.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">We recommend</span></p>
<p>If you want your eyes to look fresh and ready to party even at the crack of dawn, we&rsquo;ve found that coloured contact lenses could be all that you need. For a subtle look you will find we have a vast range of <a href="http://www.eyesbright.com/fashion-and-beauty-contact-lenses/natural-coloured-contact-lenses/">natural lenses</a> to choose from. From glamorous browns and pretty hazels to vivid blues and green hues, we have every eyeshade you could ask for. You could even choose to change your eye colour completely, rather than enhancing it.</p>
<p>Alternatively, you could opt for extravagant colours or patterns. Have fun and experiment with coloured contact lenses. We love the effects of these <a href="http://www.eyesbright.com/fashion-and-beauty-contact-lenses/stars-and-jewels-contact-lenses/silver-jewel-contact-lenses.aspx">silver jewel contact lenses</a> &ndash; they will most certainly help you sparkle and shine at the party.</p>
<p>We all strive to have full and long eyelashes, but unfortunately that mascara doesn&rsquo;t exist. However, this can be achieved with the use of false eyelashes. At Eyesbright we have a great range of lashes including the <a href="http://www.eyesbright.com/accessories/paper-eyelashes/">PaperSelf eyelashes</a>.</p>
<p>So there you have it, our tutorial for creating a glittering New Year&rsquo;s Eve party look.</p>
<p>Happy New Year!</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://blog.eyesbright.com/blog/rss-comments-entry-32076324.xml</wfw:commentRss></item></channel></rss>
