About Misaki Cosmetics

Misaki Cosmetics, at misakicon.com, sells cosmetic colored contact lenses along with a small line of false eyelashes. The site describes its lenses as made in Korea and offers both plano (no correction) and prescription options, plus toric lenses for astigmatism. North American orders ship from a US warehouse.

What's in the catalog

The store lists about 140 products, of which roughly 100 are contact lenses and 13 are lash products. Prices run from $17.50 to $80, with a median of $30.50. A large share of the in-stock lineup is the Halloween series: dramatic white, red and yellow designs like White Eye Zombie, Yellow Cat Eye and Wicked Witch, plus anime-inspired designs such as Itachi's Mangekyou and Sasuke's Mangekyou. Those are priced at $17.50 on sale or $25 at list.

For everyday wear, the Cotton Series Brown Contacts for Astigmatism and 3 Tone Aqua Contacts for Astigmatism list at $65 per pair, reflecting that toric lenses are custom-made. The Grey Package Bundle sells for $80. Product pages list useful specs: base curve (mostly 8.6 mm), diameter (14.2 to 14.5 mm), water content (40 to 42%) and a 30-day monthly disposable replacement schedule.

Pricing details

One box contains one pair of lenses. If your eyes need different prescriptions, you buy two boxes, and the FAQ says the second box gets 20% off, with 40% off when you buy four. Contact lens solution isn't included; the FAQ suggests buying a multipurpose solution locally. About 28 products were on sale when the data was collected, and the Halloween sale prices show a $52.50 compare-at, so judge value by the actual price.

Shipping and returns

Shipping is free worldwide, with express shipping for $15. In the US, express takes 2 to 5 business days and regular shipping 3 to 9 business days. Outside the US, expect 5 to 14 business days express or 7 to 14 regular. Toric lenses are made to order and take much longer: 21 to 28 business days express or 28 to 35 regular. The shipping page states Misaki isn't responsible for losses or breakage in transit, and it sells optional package protection for $2.35.

The refund policy allows returns within 30 days for unused items in original packaging, and sale items can't be refunded. Exchanges are for defective or damaged items only. The contact page lists a toll-free phone number, sales@misakicon.com and an address in Surrey, British Columbia, while the refund policy references a different email and a returns address in Port Coquitlam, BC, so confirm where to send returns before shipping anything back.

Eye safety

Colored contacts touch your eye like any lens. Get an eye exam and fitting, follow the 30-day replacement schedule, never share lenses, and remove them if you notice pain, redness or blurred vision.
