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!

EOS G307 Gothic Turquoise

So now that the whole graduation thing is out of the way -(squeal!)-, I'm thinking that it is time for a new contact review!! Ok well the contacts aren't very new but as you may have noticed, I'm a little behind. At least this way I have had plenty of time with them so I can be more accurate with comfort and what have you. Let's get on with it.

Review:

color/design: 3/5. First off, the color is lovely. I only have a few complaints that keep me from wearing these all too often. First, they are clearly pixelated, which I'm not a fan of. I'm a little OCD so I don't really like that the limbal ring isn't a smooth circle (as you can see from the lens detail pictures). I also wish that the hole for my pupil was a little smaller. It may look wider because the yellow coloring in the middle blends so well with my own color, but I still wish the turquoise came in a little closer because the way is currently is, I don't think it change my eye color all too much. Rather, it more of just lightens and widens my limbal ring? I don't know.. it's hard to describe. Sorry I'm so particular. :/

comfort: 4/5. I am probably the only one but I just don't find EOS as comfortable as GEO's. And I seriously think I might be the only one because everyone else seems to prefer EOS so take my rating with a grain of salt. It isn't that they aren't comfy, they just aren't as comfy. I can wear these for about 4-5 hours before they start feeling uncomfortable (which I guess is actually all you are suppose to wear them for, so I can't complain tooooo much :P).

enlargement: 3/5. These lenses are 14.5mm, however I already have a dark limbal ring naturally and as you can see from the comparison photos, these actually lighten my limbal ring quite a bit. I think this fact may take away from the enlarging factor because I just don't feel like these are as enlarging as they should be.

vendor: 5/5. I got these lenses from www.kiwiberry1-collection.com and they were just lovely to deal with. My lenses came in about a week and a half coming from Canada which isn't really so bad considering it is international (although only barely, as I am in the US). They often have pretty good sales so make sure to check them out. :)

Well, thats about it for this review. More reviews to come very very soon! :D Please comment with comments, suggestions, questions, or just to say hi. And if you aren't already, please follow me for more reviews (or to just be awesome!).

EOS Super Neon G209 Pink

Like I promised, I have a few contacts that need reviewing in my possession. I like to be able to wear the contacts for at least a few days so I can better assess comfort and such. Because of this, I will not be able to do all the reviews for my new contacts all at once . First here are the EOS super neon G209 pink.

base curve: 8.8
diameter: 14.5 mm

And for the ratings..

Color/design: 4/5. The pattern of the super neon's is really pretty I think. However if you are looking for a natural looking lens, this is not for you. The black, thick limbal ring would make it hard this contact to look natural even if you got them in a natural color. Seeing as natural wasn't what I was going for, it works out. The contact is really opaque, which is what I was looking for because I didn't want my green to show though and distort the pink. However, I was thinking that these would be a brighter pink. Instead, they are more of a baby pink and in some lightings they can look like a really light pretty brown. That is ok, and I still like them, they do not look freakish or anything. They are very girly which I like because I'm extremely girly. :) Of course in the sun my pupil shrinks up pretty small and so you can see my green through the middle. This is not very noticeable unless you are gazing closely into my eyes and plus I mostly wear circle lenses when going out, which is at night and my pupil is large enough to fill the hole. So, overall not an issue.

Comfort: 4/5. They aren't uncomfortable per say, but just not as comfy as my geo's. It might be because these are a little larger, but I find that I have to apply drops to my eyes about 4 hours into wearing these things. I guess that isn't so bad, and like I said my eyes may just need a bit more time to get use to them. So a little drying, but overall comfy.

Enlargement: 4/5. These suckers are pretty big. Of course I don't have much bases from comparison, but they cover a good amount of my eye and the black limbal ring really makes them pop. If it makes it easier to see the enlarging effect, I will post a photo of my eyes with one contact in and one out. Let me know if this would help in the comments!

Vendor: 5/5 This is my second time ordering from mycandyeyes.com and they are still flawless. :)

Also please leave any other suggestions, remarks, opinions, etc in the comments.

I hope you find my review useful! :)
