From the popular color contact lens brand "rom'u," the long-awaited 1-month series, which captures sparkle tightly in the eyes, is making its debut. Also drawing attention is the romantic new visual packed with the charm of IVE's Rei, who continues to create new trends with her outstanding fashion sense and unique sensibility. Following the 1-day color contact lenses and 1-day silicone clear lenses, a new 1-month color contact lens has now appeared. With an even broader lineup, it offers a new option for everyday eye fashion. This 1-month series this time has as its theme a fantastical and romantic worldview, imagined from the sparkling brilliance like the Milky Way, the gentle glow like moonlight, and the deep beauty reminiscent of starlight. The total of three designs and six colors, including "non-rotating water-light lenses," color the eyes as if trapping the light scattered across the night sky, with delicate highlights and transparent colors. They were designed with attention to colors and designs that combine naturalness and glamour, making them easy for daily use, blending with various makeup and fashion styles, and something you will want to wear every day. ■ Product information "1month" Manufacturer's suggested retail price: 1 box of 2 lenses, 1,650 yen (tax included) Sales name: ANW 1 Month UV Generic name: Reusable colored contact lenses for vision correction Approval number: 22900BZX00215A22 Usage period: 1 month Available powers: 0.00, -0.75 to -5.00 (in 0.25 steps), -5.50 to -10.00 (in 0.50 steps) Water content: 38% Distributor: ANW Co., Ltd. ■ Related site "rom'u" official site ■ Product information "1month" Manufacturer's suggested retail price: 1 box of 2 lenses, 1,650 yen (tax included) Sales name: ANW 1 Month UV Generic name: Reusable colored contact lenses for vision correction Approval number: 22900BZX00215A22 Usage period: 1 month Available powers: 0.00, -0.75 to -5.00 (in 0.25 steps), -5.50 to -10.00 (in 0.50 steps) Water content: 38% Distributor: ANW Co., Ltd. ■ Related site "rom'u" official site
