What is/are the risk/s of using contact lenses that are not prescribed to you?

I have astigmatism and I'm usually using eyeglasses. I have tried using toric contact lenses and unfortunately there are no available colored toric lenses in my place; thus it will be very costly to order online plus the shipping fee. I really really want to try one and am thinking of using the ordinary colored graded contact lens.My question is that is it safe for me to use them? I understand that I can see better with the toric, but will the ordinary cause me headaches, discomfort, or make the lens grade higher later on? Thanks!
