Review:

color/design: 5/5 What can I say? If I could give these a 100/5 for color and design, I would. These are my first pair of brown lenses and they give me the most lovely, big brown puppy dog eye look.  I love that the limbal ring is a dark brown instead of a harsh black and I love love LOVE the pattern. I was afraid that the pattern wasn't going to show up well like many reviews that I've seen, but I was wrong. The pattern shows up perfectly and it is just sooooo gorgeous! Plus the way the swirls blend in with my natural color, it looks like it is suppose to be that way in person so hurray! Soo to sum it up I'm totally in love with these lenses. ^-^

comfort: 4.5/5 Usually geo's are my go to for comfortable lenses. These are relatively comfortable, but dry out in about 4-5 hours, where usually I can keep geo's in all day with no problem at all. I docked .5 points for this, but really it isn't so bad. Throw some eye drops in and I'm good to go. 

enlargement: 5/5 These lenses have 3 things going for them in terms of enlargement. 1) They are these geo's, which are known for printing the color super close to the edge 2) They are 15mm diameter, so thats an obvious factor  and 3) They are also a dark color (dark for me anyway) so they pack some serious enlarging power! I absolutely love it! ^-^

vendor: 5/5 I purchased these from www.honeycolor.com and I really highly recommend them! They have a decent variety of lenses for very reasonable prices and the owner is very sweet and a pleasure to deal with. I ordered $100 worth of stuff so I was eligible for the free express shipping, which was super fast! It took just 4 days to get to me in the US and coming from Malasia, that is pretty darn good shipping time.  I also got a free contact lens travel case with my purchase which included an extra case, a mini bottle for solution, tweezers, and a contact spoon. Here are a few photos of my stuff:

The whole order. The lenses are neatly packaged inside of the boxes. Each lens also came with a free animal case.

Instructions for contact insertion and case printed on the back of each box.

The free gift! Hello Kitty!!

Well thats all for now! Time for me to get the ball rolling again on studying. After September 10th (test date) I am determined to have a life again! ^-^ Ciao!

Review:

color/design: 4/5 Like my problem with the super neon pinks, I wish that these blended in the middle better so there isn't that stark contrast between my green and the contact color.  Still, the pupil hole is small enough that it isn't that big of a deal and my pupil is usually large enough to fill it out pretty well. If you have brown eyes, this obviously won't be a problem for you.  I just love the design of these and this is such a pretty dark purple, I only wish they blended better in the middle. Under night time conditions, these almost look black which I absolutely love!

comfort: 4/5 Also the same as my pinks. Comfy, but not quite as much as geo for me. This is different for everyone so don't base your purchase choices on my opinion. Many people think that EOS are much more comfortable then geo's, but as I said.. everyone is different. I contemplate on not even rating this section.

enlargement: 4/5 Again same as my pinks. Nice enlargement. No where near my 15mm's, but I don't want that big all the time and so these are a nice middle ground.

vendor: 5/5 Got these babies from http://www.kiwiberry1-collection.com/. They are a lovely and trustworthy company. She also has a lot of hard to find lenses, so I'm sure that I will find myself back in her shop. ^-^

In other news, a close friend came to visit me for a large portion of the summer and I painted her nails really cute! (With a hello kitty!) so I wanted to share an example photograph of that:

crackle with purple glitter underneath and kitty with purple glitter bow

kitty up close

And I painted my own nails to look like strawberries

Sadly by the time I thought to take a photo of my nails, they had already begun chipping. Soooo try to not pay attention to that. ^-^ Anyway I'm to go study some more like the super nerd that I am! Ciao!
