Another Alternative to Circle Lenses(Splash of Color 2) + Misc Glasses Shopping

Clearly Contacts is a place I shop for glasses now as I feel the local optometrists are a rip off.  I wear contacts most of the time so glasses are only for when I am home.  There was a promotion earlier, not sure if it is still going on, where Clearly Contacts was giving away a free pair of glasses for first time customers so I picked a pair.  Shipping was about $18.00CAD and that was it....my glasses came in a few days with a case and some accessories.  Very fast service and good quality!  I do recommend shopping from them.
On another occasion, after I got my free glasses, I was having lunch with a friend and noticed that she's wearing circle lenses so I asked her where it was bought.  It turns out it was bought on Clearly Contacts!  I didn't know they sold circle lenses so I did some research.  The brand is called Splash of Color 2 and there are various colours available.  They are weekly disposable lenses and come with 6 pairs for $24.89CAD for a box.  I picked up a box of Violet Venom and Grey Storm.  It only took a few days to arrive and once I opened the package, they are indeed circle lenses.  Looked at the box and it says they are made in South Korea.  These lenses are quite comfortable and I am very happy they are weekly lenses.  The big eyes effect are not as big as real circle lenses BUT they are definitely noticeable.

Violet Venom
Grey Storm
-Edit: December 15, 2012-I no longer have Grey Storm to take a photo. I am not very good with swatching and taking pictures of my eyes.  This is the best I can do.  The grey storm looks similar to Violet Venom but is a bit more obvious/fake looking.  The Violet Venom is obvious/subtle.
this is the Violet Venom with indoor lighting
They also have a more natural line called Splash Illusion and I picked up the black one.  They are daily disposable lenses and once I opened the box, I think they are comparable to the Acuvue Defines.  These daily ones are not as big as the Acuvue Vivids so I will still buy the Vivids but this is a good and fast temporary replacement if you cant get the Acuvues.
