Another week for circle lens reviews. Again, these lens are from Kiwiberry1-Collection.com

Starting off today with the Geo Xtra Bella Violet. Just like the Brown versions they are extremely enlarging. These are 15mm lens and the design is very close to the edge so the big eye effect is very noticeable. What makes it more noticeable is the black limbal ring and how thick it is. The violets color doesn’t show up very well on me considering this a dark violet than most other violet lens I have. It’s almost a deep blue violet. It is fairly comfortable, I’ve had no problem wearing them, but considering these lens are 15mm it was a bit difficult to put them on without it falling out. I mean I can only open my eyes so wide.

Recommendation: Colors not very definitive on dark eyes but might be good for lighter eye colors. Definite for enlargement.

These are the 2Tone Extravaganza from EoS, in pink. These lenses are very striking and extreme. The design is bold and loud, and I believe these lenses are more of it’s third tone color yellow than pink. I suppose it’s a hint of pink but more of a pink color that you would see on the EoS Flower Pink Series than a true pink. The design is printed close not that close to the edge just about the same distance as you would see the design on the Nudy Series. So it gives an enlarging effect, not as huge of an effect like the Xtra Bella series but a decent enlargement. The design pattern effect is almost like the EoS Flower series when you wear them in my opinion.

Color:

Comfort:
Recommendation: Pink color is like the EoS Flower Pink color, more of the third color yellow than Pinkish. The design effect when worn is like the EoS Flower series but bolder. If you’re looking for unnatural color and a good decent enlargement these are good to go for.

I didn’t know what to expect from these cause the design was kind of like a spotted design. I put them on and it looked very nice. I am considering getting these in the other colors. These 15mm lens are very enlarging because the design are printed so very close to the edge, just like the Xtra Bella series and it’s very cute. Doesn’t look very alien like the Bella series so it’s a plus. I think it’s cause of the limbal ring not being so thick so I was very pleased on how these looked on me. The color not very bright though but it does give enough to show a change in color. Not sure if I can say they are natural looking, but I feel it depends on how close and far away you are looking at it.

Recommendation: Definite enlarging effect if you are looking for that, possibly a color enhancement for light color eyes, and slight color change for dark color or brown eyes. Semi-natural.

Gothic Turquoise 2
Gothic Turquoise 3
Gothic Turquoise 4

Whenever there’s a 3tone model I usually jump on the opportunity to get it. As well as any shade of blue and thus when I saw the Gothic 3tone series in Turquoise I immediately got my hands on it. Well not immediately but I went out and got it. I would have to say how much I love this color and how natural it looks. It’s not super vibrant like the Puffy series but subtle and gives a deep color. These are actually the same design has the MI M-Type 3 Tone Aqua. The exact same design. The only difference is that the design on the EoS gothic series are printed a bit close to the edge and gives the enlargement effect as the Super Nudies. The MI 3Tone Aqua doesn’t give an enlarging effect at all. Not a problem for me cause I do love the color of it, but like the MI version it is very natural looking and I love it.

Recommendation: For Natural looking eyes and well as enlargement.

Circle Lens: Queenie, EoS, Hana Eye

Brand: Hana SP
Model: FH37
Color: Hazel
Diameter: 14.5mm
Base Curve: 8.6
Water: 45%

There’s a starburst design to these lenses. They are 3 tone lenses and I never usually would buy brown lenses because my eyes are brown, but I thought I should try these and see if they make my brown eyes a bit lighter or give it more color. So when I tried them on it did give my eye color a bit more definition. It looks like my natural eye color but gave me a little more reddish hue so there’s more color to my eye. I don’t see much enlargement with these, but there is a tiny bit of enlargement. I wouldn’t recommend these lenses if you are looking for a drastic color change in dark brown eyes, although these are good for color enhancements.

The comfort on these lens I guess for me is comfortable but not too comfortable. It’s so-so ish, but it is because I can feel these lens move around from time to time. I’ve checked to make sure I got it on right, flipped it and flipped it again and looked carefully, switched the sides and still get the same feeling and I’m not too sure why it’s doing that. I mean it’s not uncomfortable to the point that it irritates my eye it’s just every so often it moves. Hard to explain but I can tolerate it.

So far I give these lenses a 7/10 overall.

I’ve always loved these type of lenses, with the broken limbal ring. It’s different than most other lenses and my first pair of circle lenses where similar to these. Only smaller, and 2 tone. These are three tone, and looks very cute. Not natural by any means cause of the way the limbal ring looks, but gives a soft look. I am starting to like the grey colors more and more on me. Blue is still my favorite color by far.

There is a good deal of enlargement for me and there’s a bit of a halo, if you see the comparison image. I always tend to loved seeing halo effect from the lenses. It always looks like the eyes are glowing to me. My opinion though, which is probably why I love the nudy series and would get my hands on all of the nudy series if at all possible. I did feel them for slight 10 seconds before it went away and felt like I had nothing on so I can say they are comfortable after a while.

These lenses get from me a 9/10 overall.

The ring is darker than the Geo Nudy series but doesn’t seem to over power. As I said I love the Nudy Series and probably one of the few series that I want to get all the colors for. It is a bright pink type color very vivid although with the design on the Nudy series it makes my eyes more dark pink or close to pink-purple than actual pink. It gives the same effect as the geo nudy series and it definitely gives me a halo effect. This is not by far a natural color so if you’re going for something out of the ordinary and unnatural these are great for it. It’s also great for cosplay.

Extremely comfortable to me, I’ve never had a problem with the comfort of the the Nudy series. There is a good deal of enlargement on these since the design pattern is close to the edge of the lens. It is definitely bigger than my Geo Nudy Blues, but not large enough to make me look alien-like, which is good in my book. I like anime but I would not want my eyes that huge.

9/10 Overall

All these lens can be found at Kiwiberry1 Collection. They have on going discounts and a large variety of lenses from many different brands, especially the rare MI lenses. Check them out.

Circle Lens: Barbie Queen / Aloha Aqua and Geo Bonita Blue

Going to start off with the G&G/Dueba Barbie Queen/Aloha Aqua. The color is absolutely cute, and the design is similar to the Geo Wing/Olive series. The difference between them is that Geo’s version has a bigger pupil hole than the G&G/Dueba version. The thing I like about these lenses is that it gives off a little halo on me. It does enlarge quite a bit and does give me a dolly look, as well as being comfortable to wear. Hardly notice that I have them on.

Now the Geo Bonita Blues. What can I say about these lenses except for that it’s more of an eye color enhancer than actual color change. You can’t see these lenses very well under medium or low lighting. Once you are out in bright light or under natural light it would show. These lenses on me though, I would say you can see a hint of blue in my eyes when I wear them. Not my very best favorite pair of lenses but I probably would’ve been better off getting the Greys or Browns. I do like them though. The comfort is good and there is no general enlargement.

So if you want to enhance your eye color or add a bit of a different color to your natural eye these would be good to get. If you’re looking for dramatic eye color change look for something else these will not do you much good for that.

Circle Lens: More lens from Kiwiberry

Bella Brown

These lens makes your eyes look huge. I mean the pattern color is print so very closely to the edge that it really gives you a big eye dolly look. I was afraid that the Bella series would end up like the Angel series where it doesn’t show up very well on my eye but it came out looking decent. Since I already have dark brown eyes these lens makes it more define. It’s not a honey color like most browns I’ve seen, but it does seem to blend better and make my eyes look natural. As well as with all Geo Lens I own these are very comfortable. I was reluctant to try 15mm lens because of how big they were but I’m very pleased with these.

M-Type 3 Tone Aqua

MI 3Tone Aqua aren’t the type of lens that would enlarge your eyes. Especially since these lens are 14mm, and as with MOST 3 tone lens (exlcuding the newer 3tone lens at 14.5mm) these lens are made to just change your eye color or enhance them. I love the color on these though it’s not too true blue or absolutely vibrant. Although I wish it would do a nice little fade at the pupil hole instead of a solid circle it’s a very nice color and does look natural about 1 foot away. I would recommend these to those that want something very natural looking. I own a pair of greens in this model however they seem to dry out very quickly in about 3 hours of wear. Not too sure why but I know I have to use rewetting eye drops for them. I’ve not had a problem with the aqua though I haven’t worn it longer than 4 hours to know. It could’ve been the solution that I was using at the time as well.

EType 2Tone Brown

Another MI brand lens and these are 2tone type in Brown. I like these and I have a pair in Aqua, but it’s not a reddish brown color that I like for my eyes. It’s more of a honey color. Not a bad thing if you’re looking for a lighter color to your brown eyes and give it a little golden hue but it’s not for me. It does enlarge a bit and I’ve not had problems wearing these so comfort levels are normal for me.

Burn Pink

I wanted to try out some pink lens and well I added Burn Pink to my haul last month and I probably didn’t realize I did, cause I was going to order the Neon Pink in place of it. So I thought why the heck not and try this out. I have to say it’s a bit freaking looking and very extreme. I think this makes me look like an alien of some sort, cause the limbal ring is very very thick. These are not at all natural, but then again pink isn’t a natural looking eye color. I would like this a lot more if the design wasn’t so bold, that’s not to say I don’t like it because I do. I just do not like how it looks on me. It’s comfortable otherwise and the enlarging effect is decent. I don’t get lens for the enlarging effect anyway. I mainly get them for the design and color.

Lacy Pink G-213

Now these are absolutely cute. These are a new design by EoS and other companies have their own version of the lacy design. The thing about these lens is that it’s enlargement effect should give you and all around halo effect. Pink don’t usually show up very pink in my dark brown eyes. They almost look purple as my husband has said every time I show him a pair of pink lens I’m wearing. These are as well comfortable as the other lens I’ve worn. So far I haven’t had any major comfort problems with any of the brands. I might want to get more of these in other colors.

Kiwiberry Lashes #12

In the pics above I’ve used Kiwiberry’s #12 Lashes. I am in love with these lashes and probably will only be getting these from here on in. It’s not too dramatic or thick it’s actually just want I’ve been looking for in lashes. Gives a nice sultry look and adds length to my current lashes. Don’t have to use mascara when I’m wearing these lashes.

Alright I’m going to close this entry with a review for a contact lens solution that I’ve been using lately and I am very very impressed with. I use to use Opti-free Replenish for my contact lens. However I was watching a show one day and then commercials comes running as usual and there was this advertisement for Bausch and Lomb Bio True. It advertises that the solution is made to be like your natural tears. So I did some more research online at their site and read reviews and mostly positive things for this product. So one day I told my husband to pick me a bottle of this after work and he did. I’ve tried this solution for three of my lens for a month and I was pleased at how this solution worked.

My lens are a bit more comfortable than when I was using Opti-free Replenish, also if with Opti-free Replenish when I use it to just store my lens after cleaning and I don’t wear my lens for 2 weeks there’s some kind of residue that seems to settle on the lens. I was not please with this, especially when I haven’t worn the lens at all. When I switched to Bio True when I don’t wear the lens for 2 weeks there’s no settling residue in the lens, which gives me some comfort because I would like to know that my lens are still clean after 2 weeks of not putting them to use.

Another thing that made be like the Bio True solution is that I didn’t have to use rewetting eye drops as often as I did with Opti-free. I use to carry around a little container with solution to use if my eye were feeling a bit dry and that’s after 4 hours of contact lens wear. With Bio True I could wear my lens for a good 8 hours (which is the max recommended limit on wearing cosmetic lens) without having to use eyedrops.

So with that said, I do recommend trying out Bio True if you are looking for a new solution for your contact lens. You can get a discount coupon from the Bio True main site.

Circle Lens: Puffy 3 Tone Blue (Dueba)

So posting a review on the Puffy 3 Tones Blue. I’ve opened it about two weeks before Christmas and tried it on and had worn it for the family Christmas. It feels comfortable as the Puffy 3 Tone Grey and it’s also very vibrant. As vibrant as my EoS Adult Blue. I’ll have to put all my reviews here on the blog from Gaia CL Thread, but here are a few pictures of them and a comparison with the Puffy 3 Tone Grey. It’s a very pretty blue and it’s very noticeable.
