- Hey Beauties! Today I am here to unfortunately share my BAD experience with colored contacts, and hopefully protect you from going through the same thing! Let's talk prescription, fit, color, and FDA approvals. And don't worry, you're getting my honest opinion and I'm putting all the bad right on the table!
*Disclaimer- Although Just4Kira contacts are not listed as approved medical devices by the FDA, Just4Kira does claim that all ingredients used in their production are FDA approved. Just4Kira also claims that their products have also passed CE and ISO certification. All views and experiences in this video are completely my own and the marketing practices mentioned are completely alleged. Just4Kira states they have 3 series of products Mirage, Shimasaki and Abeecons, which is why one box of contacts was different.

Aren't you supposed to soak them for at least 6 hours before you put them on?
Yes lol
They tell you to soak for 6 or 8 hours before you put them in. Mine comes in today. I’m doing a review after soaking them. Hopefully I don’t have this problem or anything negative. I ordered the Luna gray
Yes you are
Seems like you have a Base Curve issue... these are 8.6, you are most likely a much different BC. I'm 8.4 so I know that colored contacts will never fit perfectly on my eye... all the colored contacts I've found only have the one BC, average is 8.6. Considering how critical it is that colored contacts fit perfectly around the iris, I would think the industry would start creating more specific sizes for folks.
FYI Just4kira use FDA approved pigments & passed CE & ISO quality certifications. Also they state on their website under Alpha Green that they will give tunnel vision bc the pupil hole is so small. Also Aurora Blue is the small style as Alpha Green.
Tunnel vison?! that's a NO for me.
Neala Brown is also shown on the website's list of "Small Pupil" contacts if you click on that category. In all fairness to the company, they provided a disclaimer by listing specific colors under that category, even though some of those colors are listed within other categories. Large pupil "holes" in color contacts are designed for the purpose of allowing people to see when their pupils dilate in low light, but some people don't like being able to see their natural eye color through their color contacts; the Small Pupil contacts would suit them, if they realize they're limiting their vision and that may cause long term problems that they should discuss with their opticians.
How do you check if a brand passed this certifications??🙁 I wanna buy
@@horimiya84 they will be listed on their website & if they aren't then don't buy them
@@KateKosmo thank you!! I was very worried because I really like the Just4Kira lenses and I was concerned about them causing damage to my eyes but i also read it has the FDA certification so I will buy them and hope they dont make damage to my eye haha 🥺
Being completely honest I ordered some from J4K and had no problems whatsoever
I'm glad you had a good experience!
Mistake number 1 never, never, ever take lenses out of the blister pack and place them in your eyes, the solution that they are packaged in is not your solution, major problems right there, and the Alpha lenses have a pupil diameter too small, and yes I agree with KitKat that base curve is important, I have tried just about every lens company out now and have no problem with lenses, only the ones that are thicker then no way, but thankfully I don`t have those lenses anymore. But I do think it may have been that lens solution.
How do you feel about Air Optic, silicone 33% water content? I notice they don't break or not easily broken.
@@fanceefoxx7004 I have never tried those but I must say her eyes are very likely not shaped aka curvature for these lenses she tried and the two lenses that are more opaque the aurora blue has a pupil opening too small, but I have the Ginger Green and have been wearing these daily for months now, no problems.
Oh boy.. I’m currently waiting on my order from Just4Kira because I saw all the positive reviews…and just today I came across your video. 😬 I’m worried.
Same here. I realized all the positive youtube reviews have probably been paid, and on trustpilot a lot of people complain they didn't receive their lenses and were still charged money, or that the lenses hurt their eyes.. so I'm worried too now. Did you ever receive yours?
Wow - that stinks! Thanks for the sincere review and the heads-up.
I bought the neala green and crystal brown contacts from just4kira and the colors are stunning but they are sooooo uncomfortable. It's weird because on some days they are more comfortable and on other days they just keep hurting my eyes. I just ordered the sl70 grey color to give another color a try. The colors are sooooooooo pretty and natural-looking but it sucks that they are so uncomfortable SOMETIMES.... which I don't know why its just sometimes. I think the lens is a little too thick?? i have some lenses from desio and they feel thinner and are so much more comfortable, but just4kiras colors are so much more beautiful.
Most of the lenses on their site (Just4Kira) are around $35. That's pretty reasonable. Solotica often charges over $40 for a single lens, not even a pair! Urban Layer is also good and reasonable.
Why not get legit lenses from the eye doctor for the same price?
@@rumham7466 the cost of the exam and lack of insurance is probably why people seek them online. Also, most eye doctors can't provide the same variety of colors as an online vendor. The best thing to do is look for reviews, many here on TH-cam, for different lenses and different lense makers. You should, however, go to an eye doctor if you don't know your current prescription.
Is it not because they are yearly contracts... I ordered some from solotica and they are thicker because they need to last longer
I’ve tried many lens brands and yes many of them hurt . The only brand I trust is Color CL the quality and material is most comfortable for me . Soloticas and desios suck cuz i think they’re made of polymarcon which is a harsh material that won’t let your eyes breathe . All my color CL lenses are hydrogel and very thin . I’ve tried TTDeye and that brand sucks after a while those lenses hurt my eyes i don’t know why I fear J4K is the same I want to try a pair and see . So far Color CL is the only brand I trust . Not sure if it’s FDA but the quality is very good imo and they’re made in Korea .
Everything you said is my exact same experience and you are on point
The same thing happens to me, all these marks lasting one year are harmful to my eyes. the only brand I can use is dimple because they last a month and the material is Methafilcon-A
Try the solotica aquarella dailies, bella one day, and any of the freshlook contacts- they all have a high water content, and are very comfortable. Unfortunately, I can't wear most colored contacts as I have dry eyes :(
New subbie😇❤️ your honesty is so refreshing
Did you know beforehand these are reduced pupil lenses? Was that why it hurt?
Those brown ones look so pretty on you! I had colored contacts in highschool and loved them. No clue what brand though. Nice video!
When you purchase contacts from online companies, it’s often a “one size fits most” idea. I own several pairs of prescription colored contacts from various companies (including Just4Kira) however, I never had a problem. Part of that may be because the “standard” measurements they use are ok for my eyes & I only wear them for special occasions. Also, I always soak my contacts in 3% Hydrogen Peroxide cleaning solution for 6 hours then transfer to the multi-purpose disinfecting solution for storage. That’s just to ensure that they are clean in case the fluid in the packaging somehow became contaminated. I know it’s a lot of work, but you only have one set of eyes, right! I’m sorry that they didn’t work for her, but the colors were pretty.
I love the blue on you though ! But I had the same experience with my last coloured pair it was all blurry and itching my eyes :/
It’s always best to wear our own eyes haha
That’s a great review 💖
I felt that way with TTD eyes, lots of good reviews but every one of them hurt, but I honestly have tons of these and they are so comfortable its insane that i don't feel a thing once they are in,. shame i guess its not one size fits all, i have no power and mine are super clear.
I felt like this with OLENS, which is a popular known brand. I just think some lenses don’t fit everyone.
I'm glad you did this review. I bought one pair, soaked them for at least 8 hours then tried them and they were blurry and uncomfortable. It was like the pupil was too small. Color is pretty but fit is a no go. 😔
Ok. Thanks! Saved me 💸
Hi! I ordered the Aurora green - the pupil hole is too tight in the aurora line. I placed 4 orders with them but only received 2 of the 4 and customer service wasn’t helpful at all. The ones I did get I liked (except the Aurora line) but NOT getting my lenses was a complete fail. Sorry that they didn’t work for you, but know you aren’t alone.
I understand you, I trusted in Solotica’s Buzios because they claim to have FDA Approval. But when I touched them, they felt SUPER thick, you could even see thicker blue borders of the lenses. I soaked them in solution and all cleansing procedures. But when I put them on, two hours later my eyes hurted horrible, like needles. Directly to the thrash can. I had been a client from solotica for 5 years, but stopped buying them after this issue.
I can't wear solstica. Lenses at all. They burn my eyes. Even after soaking..
@@theuniverseisabundantwigs it is because of the thickness, as the lenses dont allow enough oxigen pass to the eye. And this is actually super dangerous.
Maybe you have dry eyes... Unfortunately I have dry eyes, and seem to only be able to wear color contacts (comfortably) with at least 55% water content such as solotica aquarella dailies, bella one day, and freshlook contacts
@@theuniverseisabundantwigs Solotica uses old Polymacon technology that doesn’t allow oxygen to your eyes. They are dangerous.
I've always wanted to try some colored contacts. They look beautiful on you.
I agree . I ordered prescription ones and cannot see they are blurry. So I contacted them and they will send me non prescriptions ones. Lets see how they will feel
I got these 4 times, my prescription is 6.50 and I went from LensCrafters sending my contacts to me to THIS brand my personal opinion these are the softest for my eye type 😩 I dead kept these in for 24hrs on a shift once and didn’t feel them !
Aurora Blue have a small pupil hole, so yeah it will affect ur vision as it has a small circle to view clearly from. Ur eyes will adjust or wear them in daylight where ur natural pupils stay contracted.
I just received 2 pairs from Solotica and 7 pairs from Unicoeye. I was able to put in the Solotica right away, and they are gorgeous. With the Unicoeye, I had to soak them first. They were all incredibly comfortable except one pair. Besides that one pair, they were honestly just as comfortable as the Solotica. Of the 7 pairs, 5 of them look pretty natural, and 2 of them look pixelated up close. My favorites are the Russian Blue and Mel. I wore them all day, and forgot I had them on until I saw myself in the mirror.
The Solotica lenses arrived in 3 days. The Unicoeye arrived in 7 days. I also ordered from Just4Kira at the same time and I'm still waiting to receive them.
How’s the just4kira now
@@lordfarquaad1701 The Just4Kira are just as good as the others. I can't tell the difference. A bonus is they come with cases, but the negative is that they take forever to arrive.
Solotica are so bad for your eyes. Very drying and they use old Polymacon technology that don’t let air to your eye. Silicon Hydrogel is best.
wait im scared i just bought a pair 😭💀 did u leave the contact lenses in the lense container with your solution for 8 hours before using them?
Hi Annabelle!! So although in the video I did try them out of the box, I went back and soaked them to try the before publishing the video to see if that would make a difference. Unfortunately after doing that it didn't change my experience with the lenses.
@@lifewithmarianicole thank u for replying! i think im going to have to scrap these lenses then, ur review is literally the only honest one I've seen ❤️
i bought the same 4 pair could not see out of any of them, they kept poping out they are dry and blurry. its a shame i really like the colors i bought brown, grey, blue, and green. waste of my money. i have a astigmatism and i dont always want to wear my glasses so i got these hoping they would last me a while. dont waste your money, they have pretty colors but the quality is a no go.
Maybe those lenses are made just for taking photos.
You can't see because of the small pupils and that's what's makes it look natural.
To be fair the technology and materials used to produce these types of lenses is from the 1960's. Polymacon is very old school and the best and most comfortable/ breathable healthy lenses are needed from silicone hydrogen and are amazing. I use both clear and colour lenses for over twenty years. Collect makes really great products you might enjoy. Best wishes.😃
I'll have to look those up! Thanks ❤
what about the material called"Hydrogel Terpolymer"? I have no idea, just want to find out if they're safe
Where is Collect sold?
The problem with purchasing contacts from over the internet is that people are buying a one-size-fits-all. And if you are true contact wearer, like, from a doctor, then you know that there are different sizes of contacts because people have different eye shapes. So it’s kind of not fair that you’re giving the company a bad review when clearly they just don’t fit your eyes. This is so wrong. As for FDA approval? It’s a marketing scheme, hello. FDA won’t approve them and many products from other countries because they want you to buy what is produced in the US. It’s called supply and demand. But yes, people should also do their homework and educate themselves. Your video is misleading by a long shot. I said what I said and not sorry. Be well.
Made in China, hello??
Why not just go through the eye doctor? I don’t get the issue?
Great contact review. 👍🏽🙋🏽♀️💖
thank you for this great review. I am a new friend now!!
Thank you!!
Interesting this has been my favorite contact brands
I bought Just4kira and I loved all my contacts, I’ve tried other standard brands as well solotica, ttdeye and they all fit fine. the reason it doesn’t work for you is because your eyes pupils and etc are a different size than the standard size that most people have, in this kind of situation the only way to be comfortable in colored contacts are actually getting the correct measurements from your docter and then getting them professionally individualized. I advise other people who are watching this review not to be discouraged because for most people the standard measurements are fine. I wish the best of luck to everyone and be safe trying them on!
i was sent a email from this company im watching all reviews before getting these i just dont want anything in my eyes.
I have just4kiera and they are really truly incredible
Hi, do you can wear for 6-8 hours with no problem?! I wanna buy them.
I agree with her these contracts were not good. They hurt and my vision was blurry. I had 4 pairs with by prescription in them.
I got the Alpha Green and I couldn’t see at all and got a crazy headache after few seconds of wearing it. No matter how beautiful and detailed these contacts are but the whole idea of small pupil is stupid and that can impair your vision for good. Money went into the trash can. I also went ahead to share my honest feedback on the website and guess what, they didn’t post my review. Totally expected
Is the Alpha Green super bright in natural lighting?
That's because those are NOT for daily use, more like for Halloween
i ordered from them and got my order but i just found out a girl got her eyes injured bc of them:( im so sad n it feels like a waste of money
Who did?
@@madih4586 i forgot her ig @ sorry
I only wear the colored ones,like hazel brown from acuve. I mostly wear the clear ones from them.
Very smart to use the Acuvue ones! I think I am going to try some of those next.
@@lifewithmarianicole Air optic aqua are good ones too. That's the kind I use for clear ones. I think the ones I used for acuve colored were called tru blends that match your eye color.
I got 5 pair and after a few days of each tossed them for the same exact reasons
i bought two contact lens from J4K today i hope this is worth it🥺
Did u receive them how long is shipping?
@@sprinter3391 i bought this J4K on july 12 it didn’t delivered til now smh
I personally didn't find any problems with my eye contacts from just4kira. I only get citha hazel and citha gray. But good to get a different perspective
thanks for the nice sharing 😊
Thank goodness I searched for feedback and watched this before submitting my payment for 10!!!!!! Phew 😮💨
Oh wow look so pretty on you
I really wanna wear coloured contact lenses but my eyes are allergic so it hurts when wear 😂 but they look good on you ☺️
Girl nooooo! I love the look but I can’t! Lol
Here watching ❤️
The last pair are two different colors… a green and a blue. 🤭😬
Wow you are the first person that has said that these were no good. I have probably looked at 20 TH-cam videos on these contacts. And everyone raised about these contacts. You were the first person that said don't get these they're uncomfortable. Wow I was on almost going to buy them. So you must have bought these on your own right. They didn't just send you these. Or if they did they didn't know that you were going to. Tell the truth. Thank you. 🙆🏽♀️😔
I actually was sent these by the company, however I am always going to give my honest opinion to my viewers 😊.
I have 4 pairs of j4k lenses with no power and they are good imo, maybe because you have your prescription on it , 😢
It’s likely bc they don’t fit her eyes
I have non prescription too and I love them
READ THIS IF YOU ARE IN DOUBT: I just got 4 lenses from just4kira, and some of the lenses are more comfortable than others. Some blue ones I got was not comfortable, barable but I would not wear if for more than a couple of hours. But citha hazel, along with cynthia brown and some other ones were more comfortable and I cant Even feel them on my eye. Im not used to wearing lenses, at all, I have not worn lenses for a year, but some of this lenses I could use all day. I soaked them for 24 hours first ofc. I would recommend just4kira.. I am in no way sponsored or anything, this is all honest for people that are in doubt. 1 out of my 4 lenses was uncomfortable. Edit: Go for the lenses with kind of a "fade" in it, most of the lenses are that but some lenses like the SL70 brown and SL70 blue are not comfortable. Maybe its something about SL70 cause the other ones I can Even feel on my ete
ok that makes me feel better. i panicked a bit with everyone saying they arent fda approved or had issues. i just ordered Citha Hazel yesterday. how long did it take to ship? some had issues with it taking over a month to get here to USA
@@SnacckyChanT I live in norway, and they are from korea, think it took about 2-3 weeks. But my country is VERY slow on shipping. I have 2 Pairs of citha hazel, my favorite! I can wear them allll day If I want. I now have 14 Pairs, all of them are good. But they need soaking for atleast 24 hours and make sure its nothing on the lense when you put it on. They will send you a small like box for them (exuse my english) and also 2 "tools" to put them in with, These are a dream to have! So easy to see if anything is on the lense and so easy to put in. But if you have very small eyes it might be more of a struggle but for me it was 10 times easier. It might take some time before you Get them BUT THEY are soooo worth the wait!🤩🤩
@@Friendlyfire97 thanks for replying! ah that explains a bit haha yeah my eyes are small i always had issues getting contacts in lol usually i wait a day for contacts to soak but 24 hours ill do it. mine finally shipped today so i cant wait! i feel a bit better now
@@SnacckyChanT yeah, Im not a lens user normally and they are still so comfy, cant feel them, dont forget to take them out before sleeping cause you actually forget it. My friend has small eyes and she said it was easier to do it with the «tools» than with her finger. But its very easy to Get dirt in it when you fail to Get it in, keep that in mind, your lashes usally have some small dirt that easily Get onto the lens😂 Im sure you will love them🤩🤩🤩 specially if you bought chitha hazel, Super comfy and so pretty🤩
Tuning in
Oh no what a shame! They look beautiful but you need to, you know....see 🤦🏻
So important! Lol
Honest review. Thank you. Jesus loves you and your soul is priceless!
With all due respect, you have only a slight complaint that may be specific to possibly your mistake? Because under your info./ intro., after Hey Beauties, you offer a Just4Kira discount under ur name to get a 20% discount. Hopefully, it's a very minor issue and your now better at wearing them? *By the way, Anyone know what's Just4Kira's Oxygen permeability? It describes the amount of oxygen that is able to pass through the contact lens to reach the eye. Its value is expressed in Dk/L or Dk/t.
While they look cute… I don’t trust any of these brands on my eyes. I just don’t feel safe knowing what I know. We don’t know the chemicals that are used in the dyes. I would rather just go to my optometrist and get them there. While the mainstream lenses look like lenses and are pixelated….
Did you soak in your preferred solution for a day ? Anything with a reduced pupil will inherently geo puff and are made for photo shoots and filming not fit daily normal life as property periphery is necessary for daily life. Bang really chatted coast lenses with coloured lenses s that present their own pros and cons.It's like comparing Apple's and oranges. Yes they're both fruits but nothing alike.
What do you mean by reduced pupil and geo puff
So although in the video I did try them out of the box, I went back and soaked them after publishing the video to see if that would make a difference. Unfortunately after doing that it didn't change my experience with the lenses.
So these lenses are not for every day use?
You didn’t even soak them love, and their contacts are FDA approved. You supposed to have soak those contacts for at least six hours before watering them, they are always shipped with disinfectant solution, which will burn and irritate your eyes causing you not to be able to see through them lol I know this video is two years old but I would’ve took this down and did another review because NO
Thanks for your thoughts. I did end up soaking them before publishing this video, and same result. And perhaps they are FDA approved now, I have not looked, but at the time of publishing, they were not. I did even reach out to the company before this video was posted. If you had better luck with these, I'm so glad, but as you can see from the comments, many others have had similar results to mine. Best of luck with them!
You can just have a bad set of contacts.
The worst.
