I recently bought, uh, contact lenses from an online store, empir cosmetic because I was willing to wear that pair of contact lens like it helps to change the whole personality or looks of an individual. And even my insta feed was full of people wearing different color of lenses. So I was quite interested. Unfortunately, I saw a paie ceiling, a pair of contact lenses in very reasonable price, and I order it. And the order was placed. And the order was placed within two days. I was so willing to unbox it, but unfortunately, I was a bit of, uh, bummer after unpacking it. Like I wasn’taware about the expiry date. It was just one or two weeks of time period to wear that, although I made a few tiktoks, but it affects my vis so much. I was admitted in hospital for almost two days due to those. Infection occurred from wearing those contact lenses. And my mother was also quite disappointed by me because I ordered it without telling. Huh her. And I’ll never try that again. This was my dream. Wearing contact lenses and walking in the street was my dream. But unfortunately it was, um, quite disappointing. So I guess I’ll never try that again.

I recently bought contact lenses from an online store called Empiric Cosmetics. I was really interested in trying them because I saw so many people on Instagram wearing different colored lenses, and it seemed like it could really change someone's look. I saw a pair of contact lenses for a very reasonable price, so I ordered them. The order arrived within two days, and I was so excited to try them on. Unfortunately, I was really disappointed after I opened the package. I didn't realize that the contact lenses had a very short expiration date - only one or two weeks! I made a few TikToks with them, but they started to affect my vision so much that I had to go to the hospital for two days. I got an infection from wearing them. My mom was also disappointed because I ordered them without telling her. I'll never try that again. It was my dream to wear contact lenses and walk around, but it turned out to be a really bad experience. I guess I'll stick to my glasses from now on.
