Alyss- Thank you muchly! Your pic's been added, and you-- immortalized. o.o ...well, maybe not immortalized, but your pic is in the photobucket. :]
Haha- I eagerly await your future photo (and review, yes? ;P). And I toootally agree- circle lenses are crazy-addictive. I thought I'd just get one or two pairs and now...well. I'm at five and planning to get quite a few more. @_@ Yeesh.
Do you find that the lenses show up well on your natural eye colour? Because I've heard that green lenses are some of the hardest to get to show up-- it likely helps if your eyes're darker in this case...
WYBMDate- Oooh! Seeshell's one of my favourite brands... despite the fact that I don't own any. ;_; In any case, did you get the regular sized ones, or the max-sized lenses- cuz both look amazing. 3nodding Your surprise for your friend sounds sooo nice! Haha.
As far as pre-cleaning, what I know to do is to take them out of the vial/blister pack they were shipped in, and get them into some good contact lens solution to soak. (Overnight's suggested, but 6-8 hours is the minimum, I believe.) I use multipurpose solution, so I don't have to rub my lenses. (At the most, I hold 'em while I squirt solution right out the bottle onto them, or even shake them in the sealed containers before switching out the solution.)
Also... I hope your bathroom figuratively exploded, and not literally exploded, otherwise, I'd be exceedingly confused. Still.... maybe somebody misplaced them?
