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!

Geo Princess Mimi Bambi Series in Sesame Grey

Sorry for being so MIA recently! I have a friend in town and I'm trying to study for my MCAT which I take in September, so I haven't had a good cam-whoring day. I did take photos of my princess mimi's a while ago, but I had forgotten to take a full face photograph so I never posted my review. I would take a full face photograph now, only I had a hair coloring incident yesterday (trying to dye it my natural color to cover up the sun bleached ends, only my friend accidentally grabbed blonde hair dye.. it's no good.) so I'll have to post that part of the review later.

For now here is the review with no full face shot just yet.

Full face shot included! My hair isn't totally fixed, but it is better ^-^

Review:

color/design: 4/5 The color of these are really nice, I only have one issue with them for me. The middle color blends in so much with my natural eye color, you can barely tell that it is there thus making the pupil hole seem larger then it is. From a distance, these make my eyes look like a greyish-green color. On the super plus side, I LOVE the design of the limbal ring and how it spikes inward. These would look really lovely on brown or even light blue eyes.

comfort: 5/5 So far, geo lenses have yet to fail me. Love the comfort on these things!

enlargement: 5/5 In my experience, geo lenses tend to print the color of the lenses right up to the edge (as you can see from the photo of the actual lens) in order to get maximum enlargement. They are just huge! Which I happen to love. ^-^

vendor: 5/5 I ordered these from http://www.fobbybarbie.com/ for a fabulous price. They still have free shipping on these as well and they are in stock in their USA warehouse. It took the lenses 2 days to get to me which it the fastest shipping time that I have experienced so far.
