Review:
color/design: 3/5 These are pretty, but I was really hoping that they would be lighter color with a thinner limbal ring so that I could achieve a better halo effect (although I do get one still, I wanted a little more drastic of one). To me, they somehow look a little too much like my natural color from far away (but obviously larger.. much larger :P). That can be a good thing if I don't want a drastic color change but I want to just focus on enlargement, that is just not the effect that I had in mind when purchasing these. I will still wear them on occasion, but they are not my favorite green lenses to date. 

comfort: 4/5 They are reasonably comfortable, although they feel a little thick so I can sort of tell they are in sometimes, despite the high water content. It doesn't bother me too much and you'll have to take my opinion with a grain of salt, since everyones eyes are different. I also needed eye drops about 4 or 5 hours after I put them in as they started to feel a little dry. Other than that, no problems. :)


enlargement: 5/5 These are 15mm, so you can pretty much expect that they are huge. One thing I did notice was that despite there thicker limbal ring, these don't look quite are enlarging as my Geo Xtra WT-A0 Heart Series (which are also 15mm). Nevertheless, these are quite big and very dolly looking. :) Let me know in the comment section if it would help you to have a comparison photo of those 2 lenses and I would be happy to post one for you. :)


vendor: 5/5 koreabigeyes.com was fabulous! This was my first time purchasing from them and I would gladly do so again. Communication was the best I have experienced, shipping time was reasonable, and the prices are reasonable. Plus they are the only shop that I know that carries the adore lenses, which I think will be my present to myself once I find a job.. haha




Feel free to comment with questions/concerns/suggestions/or to just make me feel the love. :D Now I'm off to eat the delicious bowl of miso that I just made for myself :D:D:D:D

Yum yum!!

Natural Eye Color

I am making this post to give you a basis for comparison when I make my circle lens reviews. My natural eye color is green with subtle hints of bluish and gets a little yellow in the middle.The following photo is a close up.



Well then there you have it.  Keep this in mind when reading my reviews as contacts will react with my coloring differently then they will on brown eyes. :)

Thats all for now,
Ciao!

Geo Xtra WT-A0 Hearts Series green

Sorry it took so long to do another review when I have a few perfectly new pairs of contacts that need reviewing done... organic chemistry decided to take over my life for a bit. But now that the test is out of the way, here is another much awaited circle lens review. This time I decided to review my geo xtra WT-A0 hearts in green. Lets stop mumbling on and get to the details, pictures, and review.

Review:

color/design: 5/5 The color of these contacts really blend in with my natural green. Plus I love the mini heart detailing. I think that these would not look as vibrant on dark eyes, although they would probably still be really pretty in a more subtle way. For me these are flipping gorgeous, I am a HUGE fan. These are my second favorite lenses so far, coming in right after the geo t-stars. LOVE.

comfort: 5/5 I was a little weary because at 15.0 mm diameter, these are pretty large. But so far Geo has really impressed me with their comfort. I can wear these for about 10 hours before they start to feel a tad dry. I am a happy girl.

enlargement: 5/5. HUGE. Seriously. They make my eyes look super dolly and I love it! They are so large they give even me a halo effect as you can see in the photographs.. and my eyes are not too small as it is. I will definitely consider getting 15.0 mm diameter again. :)

vendor: 5/5 I got these bad boys at mycandyeyes.com. So far I love this vendor. They are quick to get back to me when I have a question and so far I always get my contacts 1 week from when I order them, which is a good shipping time considering that shipping is free worldwide. I will continue to buy from them. Also, mycandyeyes.com is having a sale for the month of April and all of their contacts are $15 a pair. hurray!

I think that is all I have to say. I took some more pictures of this pair in different circumstances.. let me know if they were helpful. Also would it be helpful if I made videos of my contacts? Maybe I will try that out next time and see how it goes.. Feel free to ask any questions of I left anything out!

Cheers!
