Nowadays it’s possible to get almost every kind of contact lens in a ‘daily disposable’ version: torics that correct astigmatism, varifocals, bifocals; even coloured lenses which allow you to give yourself a whole new look.

Typically, however, they cost considerably more than the monthly versions. Are they really worth it? Here are six reasons why so many people think they are.

Saving time
This one is the big one for most people. With daily disposables you no longer have to spend time sterilising and rinsing your lenses. But that’s not all – if you lose one, it’s much easier and cheaper to replace it, so you don’t have to spend hours down on your hands and knees searching.

Saving space
Daily disposable contacts help you to travel light. There’s no need to carry any equipment or special fluids with you, taking up precious bag space. This is particularly important now as airlines have such strict rules on liquids. It’s also handy for people who live in a small space.

Better for your eyes
Most opticians believe that daily disposable contact lenses are the healthiest choice for your eyes. Because you get a fresh pair every day, there is no build-up of harmful deposits on your lenses.

Great for people with allergies
There are extra benefits for people with allergies which affect their eyes. These can sometimes be triggered by the fluids used to clean and rinse monthly lenses.

Flexibility
Some people choose to keep a few different kinds of contact lenses, for example cheap ones for when you’re only wearing them for a couple of hours, better quality ones for when you keep them in all day, and coloured ones for special occasions.

The bottom line is this: I know lots of people who were a bit reluctant to pay extra for daily disposables, but I don’t know one person who’s wanted to change back once they’ve tried them out.

If you need somewhere to buy eyewear products, try LensWay contact lenses.

The African theme is ruling the catwalk like never before and as such, many of us are jumping on this fashion bandwagon!

The main theme evolving around this trend is eclectic prints.  More is in fact a must when it comes to working such a style.  Clashing patterns are now fashion statements as appose to a fashion faux pas and hot hues and Aztec prints are a must!

Fashionista Louise Row was recently seen sporting a statement wrap around dress, which signified the understated chic perfectly, whilst still oozing a multitude of patterns.

Kim Kardashian went for a zebra combo, cinched in at the waist with a thick, black leather belt.  The end was a mildly wild, yet sophisticated style.

Beyonce, always the element of cool, styled a wild pair of tiger print trousers, complete with a black long-sleeved tee and a statement hat.

Sophia Bush was another style icon to rock the red carpet look and threw a statement maxi skirt over a hot orange vest top.  She finished her style with a traditional African neckpiece.  All in all, the end result was a very understated look.

Kate Bosworth as always looked both elegant and stunning, yet still on trend to the minute.  She wore a long, blue maxi that revealed her toned arms and waist.

This is one of the easiest to wear trends this year and is a great holiday style.  Those that are lucky enough to be jetting off abroad may wish to take a few style notes.

Team each and every piece with cork shoes or metallic, snake skin wedges.  Jump suits are also a big hit this season and take away the worry of matching other pieces to your tops and bottoms.

The highstreet is currently sporting an assortment of cutesy shorts and statement dresses!

Although we would all like them to walk into our wardrobes, some may be feeling a little wary this season, especially when the weather is proving so indecisive!

You may be thinking what’s the point in investing in all of this attire if you are unable to get any use out of it?

This doesn’t however have to be the case and the current weather certainly shouldn’t stop us from sporting this season’s summer themed attire!

Simply buy into the current trends and adapt according to the weather!

For example cutesy shorts can be worn with tights and a boyfriend knit on a cooler day and bare legs and a blazer on a summery day!

Tights don’t have to be boring either!  This season’s tights come in every shade and pattern imaginable!

Ditsy summer shifts can be teamed with leggings and boots on a rainy day and layered over long sleeved tees in order to create an eclectic look on a colder day!

Shorts also look great with wellington boots and wellie warmers!  Such a look is perfect for a festival or a weekend camping as it allows you to utilise your summer wardrobe, even on the rainiest of days!

Boots generally look great with socks and such a look is one that will allow you to keep stylishly warm, even when you team them with shorts and a mini dress!

Wearing shorts to work is also a possibility, as long as you know what look to go for!  Almost all offices, unless very lax, won’t accept shorts and flop flops!  Wearing them with pumps, a shirts and a blazer however can create a very smart style and one that will certainly be welcomed into the office!

Such a look works both rain and shine!  Simply team your style with rights on a duller day!

Seaside chic doesn’t have to break the budget and there are in fact an assortment of places to stay in France that will guarantee you both the sun and also a lot of fun!

Camping is one such option, and there are a variety of camping sites in and around France to choose from.  Some of relatively basic, whilst others offer more of an up-market experience!

Due to the popularity of such a pastime, visitor numbers to France are expected to be up by a third this year.  It is therefore wise to book in advance in order to avoid disappointment.

With so many campsites to choose from, picking the right one can become a daunting procedure!

Some of the most renowned campsites in France go by the names of the ‘Plage de Amelie’, the ‘Belle Vue’ campsite, ‘Le Brevedent’ campsite, ‘Le Clapas’, ‘The Alpe d’Huez, ‘Au Bois Joli’, ‘Les Roulettes’, ‘The Gers’, and ‘Etretat’.

With so many venues to choose from, the final decision really comes down to what it is that you wish your camping holiday to entail.

Some enjoy the sea, the sand and the views whilst others are more nature savvy and prefer the lakes, mountains and trees.

Whatever your preference, whether you are a carefree camper or a campfire connoisseur, you can guarantee France has something to suit all.

Some of these campsites are in fact very impressive!  Gone are the days of pitching your tent in the middle of an abandoned field, the new generation of camp sites are instead ‘glamping’ it up!

Glamping is the new way to camp and offers the likes of Polynesian style daybeds in super-luxe yurts!  If that doesn’t however tickle your fancy, opt for a therapeutic escape in a tipi instead!  Think romantic safari tents, black granite pools and lavish interiors! Some of the ‘Glamping’ sites even feature safari tents complete with verandas, the perfect place to rest your wine after a day of hard-core exploring.

There is certainly no better way to experience the fantastic scenery, nature and beaches that France has to offer.

Every girl dreams of having perfectly sculpted brows.  This is in fact a difficult look to achieve, especially if you don’t know how.

Some girls may in fact think that they know everything about brows!  After reading this article you may have to reconsider that analogy!

The global manager of Bobbi Brown Make-up Artistry certainly knows a thing or two about creating an envious set of brows.  A lot of this knowledge has gone into his all-new Bobbi Brown limited edition brow kit.

The limited edition kit comes in the Bobbi Brown infamous packaging and houses two very unique shades.  These shades can be applied with the supplied brow brush quite simply!

Marc Reagan is in fact the global manager in question; he is also the one that is behind the creation of this must-have product.

Our favourite version has to be the one that comes in ‘cement’.

There are a few tips to follow when applying brow-shadow.  These include applying foundation to your brows before doing anything else.  This will in turn form a smooth, long lasting base for your brow-shadow.

In order to create the perfect form, begin at the start of the brow.  This is the part that is in line with your nostril.  Move on to work on the arch of your brow, which is the section that is inline with the edge of the iris.  The finally section is the end of the brow, which is an extension of the outer corner of the eye.

Mark the above out first and then work the brow-shadow into the gaps in order to create an enviable look.

Work the eyebrow powder in the opposite direction to the hair, as this will allow for better access to the skin underneath.

The last thing you want to achieve is a rushed and messy look, which is why it is important to take your time whilst doing this make-up fix.

There are two huge trends in town this season and from reading the title of this article, you have more than likely probably already guessed that.

Fashion folk are stuck between which styles to choose, especially when both offer as much as the other.  Nudes and soft blush hues offer a fresh glow and are very much ‘team neutral’.  Prints on the other hand offer a print parade and make pattern the order of the day.  The question on every bodies’ mind is of course which to choose?

Team neutral is certainly one of the key looks this season and an array of designer’s have chosen to create such a style.  One of the favourite pieces of this season comes in the shape of Givenchy’s strong silhouette, which feels both fresh and new and comes in an adorable powdered pink.  Another designer that has showcased an equally elegant look is Roksanda Llincic.  The designer has managed to effortlessly continue the barely-there theme in pale ivory, a perfect style for many occasions.

The print parades on the other side are showcasing a big and bold look.  This trend certainly states that there is no hiding from both print and hot hues this season.

DKNY have certainly embraced this trend and the designer has released trends that showcase a full-on poppy print.  In order to keep the look contemporary, fashionistas will need to invest in clashing accessories from the likes of Charlotte Olympia and Stella McCartney.

If you require a bag to go with either style, Mulberry has such a design that will finish both looks off perfectly!  The green snakeskin style is the perfect look for any individual wanting to create a statement this season!

If you wish to get your hands on any one of the above trends, check out the designer sections in the department stores, you will just have to decide on a trend prior to hitting the shops!
