The Circle Color Blue Lenses have s subtle design that are a blue gradient with the edges a nice and clean black frame. The blue section of the lenses are actually very neutral and sheer, so would enhance blue eyes, give a  sheer blue overlay to green eyes, and will cancel out the warm tones of brown eyes making brown eyes appear glassy and dolly, similar to way black circle lenses enhance brown eyes, but less stark in contrast.

Because of the size of the lenses, 14.0, they are a very natural size, just giving a tiny bit of enlargement and looks beautiful and natural even without makeup on. It's also a good size for beginners and those who want a more natural look.

Above is an up close of the Circle Color Blue Lenses, In natural lighting, the lenses looks glassy and very shiny, and very dolly I would say in most lighting, this is how the lenses appear. In warmer indoor lighting the cool blue tones shine though a bit, but the overall effect is still a natural appearance and what could almost look like a dark grey limbal ring around the eyes. When flash is shined on the eyes, the lenses give a peek of their blue colour and make the eyes shine a cool slate, that look quite mysterious.

When I was out with friends and took a flash photo with them, one of my friends noticed my lenses were blue, and actually put her phone on flashlight mode and had my group of friends staring at my eyes confirming my lenses were blue, it was kind of funny, but I would say the lenses do draw people in when they catch a glimpse of blue coming from them. [Admittedly, only if they're close enough to catch the subtle colouring]

The lenses do not give a halo effect, I think because the outer edges are very opaque, so they look like follow the eye perfectly, so it's a good choice for those who don't like the eye halos that some circle lenses can create around the natural iris. So, without the halo the lenses can pass as looking like they're barely there.

 The Circle Color Blue Lenses are very comfortable, and like the previous lenses I received from Klenspop, review here,  I can easily wear them for hours without realizing it~ I think I've worn them without issue for at least 6 hours without an aid of eyedrops to re-hydrate my eyes.

My score for these lenses are~
5/5 for comfort
3/5 or design, but I'm a bit biased because I'm not big on super natural looks, and the lenses look so seamless in person that I look like I have no lenses on. But, I do love the shiny look it gives my eyes.

Thank you Kpoplens for the lenses, I am a happy customer, and I hope you check out their great site.

Bunny Color Brown Lenses from Klenspop~ Review [Sponsored]

 Introducing a new shop I've been invited to try out called Klenspop.
Klenspop is a lens seller located in Korea, this actually the first lens shop I've tried with lenses originating from Korea. The shop is organized very cleanly and is very easy to navigate so you can find the type of lenses that you are looking for simply and without fuss.

They even have physical branches you can purchases lenses from if you are located in Korea~

The shipping for the lenses is pretty good, with an average of 1-2 weeks if you're in North America. They actually deliver to many places which is great! [They have a list of places they ship out to here]

 First thing's first~ The packaging is so cute! I was perusing other reviews and there's different box designs you can receive, and I'm seriously infatuated. If you've been on my blog for a bit, you know I'm a total sucker for cute and well organized packaging. Bonus points to lens shops that have information guides for new lens wearers, it gives those who are new to contacts in general a better idea on care and application.

 To make sure you see the guide, it's helpfully located on the box~ and instructs you on how to put in the lens, adjust it, and even remove the lenses. Perfect and simple diagram.

 With the lenses, you get a lens case and even these plastic tweezers[?] that I've seen before but never used because I've never had them come complimentary before and never felt the need to buy one. But oh my gosh, if you have long nails like me, it makes fishing out lenses from the case so much easier. Plus I don't have to worry about scooping out a lens and accidentally ripping it with my nail.

 So, firstly, here are the stats of Bunny Color Brown circle lenses
Brand: LENSPOP
Diameter: 14mm
Graphic Diameter: 13.8mm
Water Content: 38%
Base Curve: 8.6mm
Life Span: 1 year disposal
Country of origin: South Korea

 The Bunny Color Brown Lenses have a natural pattern that has multiple layers of  brown that blend very well into my brown eyes and further intensifies it's colour. It does have a bit of pixelization  if you look close enough, but I kind of like it, it makes the lens look less harsh at a normal view point.

Up close photo, so you can see the detail of the lens pattern and the slight pixelatation near the edge of the lens.

Here is an up close comparison shot of the lenses in different lighting. I was quite shocked with how consistent the lenses looked in colour and depth on my eyes in all the different lighting, usually flash+lenses looks pretty fake but this time around the lenses still looked relatively natural which was a pretty nice surprise!  

The lenses are kind of my obsession right now since they are on the warmer side, [I've been wearing them all week, even in last week's blog post] I guess a good contrast would be Princess Almond Brown lenses, which I do like but I find them too cool to blend in seamlessly on me, and because of the more neutral-cool brown they make my eyes look darker. With warmer toned lenses they do make eyes seem brighter, and if I am totally biased I think look livelier because it's a pretty nice combination with my hair colour.

 The lenses are 14.0 in diameter, which isn't as 'dolly' as most of my lenses, but it does mean I can easily wear them without makeup and I get that boost of colour and definition without looking like an alien. Yet with my full makeup on, I still get that appeal of wearing circle lenses, just not as enlarging. So it's a good size for people who like that natural look or who are beginners just starting to experiment with circle lenses.

I've actually been wearing these lenses daily because they're just as comfortable as my 1 day disposable lenses, plus it kind of gives me a personal confidence boost, like I feel like I'm putting effort even at 8 am at the gym.. The lenses aren't drying in the least, and I've been able to comfortably wear them 6-8 hours, and this is even after having a bout of super dry eyes about a month ago, and in that period I wasn't able to wear contacts for almost a full month because my doctor put me on eye medication [btw, this wasn't caused by me wearing circle lenses, I've been apparently sleeping with my eyes open for awhile now], but since then, I've been having problems wearing some of my older lenses for even 4 hours, but I've been pretty comfy in these lenses for a good deal of time, even without using re-wetting drops to hydrate my eyes.

Oh, also I know some of you are curious if a 14.0 lens still gives off a halo effect, if you don't know what that is, it's when some of the white of the eye is a bit visible under the coloured part of the lens, and it gives off this gorgeous ethereal halo effect, some might not like it, but I absolutely adore it when my lenses have that, and these lenses have a slight baby halo when I look to the side, and it's adorable. It might not be extremely pronounced, but it's enough to satisfy me. 

Honestly, I'm a convert and I am kind of loving 14.0 lenses right now~ Maybe cause of all the no makeup gym days I have lately, so I kind of need more natural lenses, but they really are naturally pretty and maybe I just needed some kind of natural lens to play around with and figure out they're pretty darn nice! Especially since I've never tried out a pair before~

So~ I'll give the lenses 

5/5 for comfort

5/5 for design [but if you're into lenses purely for enlargement, these ones might not be for you since the diameter is on the low end.]

Thanks Klenspop for the opportunity and for introducing me to your site, it's been a pleasure and I'll for sure be a return customer.

GEO, Forest Brown Lens Review, Sponsored

Big doll like eyes are now achievable! I'm happily fluttering my lashes over the GEO Forest Brown lenses from eyecandys [available here]

*I finally got a new and nicer camera lens [my previous camera lens broke] so my pictures are like, a hundered times better now!*

 Eyecandy's is a company I've happily worked with before and I personally buy my non-sponsored circle lenses from because of their big selection of lenses, fun new collections and lovely packaging.

My lenses, a lens case and their business card~ unboxed.

 I decided to try something new and more gem like, after enviously seeing how pretty diamond like lenses on my friends and fellow bloggers haha~ I'm not afraid to admit I'm also heavily influenced by my fellow bloggers, especially when it comes to lens types. And I am SO glad I tried out a crystallized lens, because the aesthetic is amazing in person and in pictures!

Stats:

Brand: GEO
Origin: South Korea
Water content: 38% - 42%
Diameter: 15.0 mm
Base Curve: 8.4 - 8.6
Power: plano, -0.50 to -5.00 (0.25 step), -5.50, -6.00
Duration: 1 year disposable 

Now to the comparison shots/ close ups~

I really love how the GEO Forest Brown lenses are a very true gold, they brighten up the eye and create a sparkle in your eye. Up close and in person, the lenses can pass as a natural colour, but up close there is not natural gradient or look to the lenses. If you are one looking for a natural eye look, this might not be the lens for you~ but, if you are one looking for a beautiful doll like eye this is the perfect lens to recreate the look.

I was honestly surprised how bright the lenses looked with flash on, I never expected the gorgeous pop of colour in such opacity, but it was a wonderful surprise!

The lenses are one of the biggest in my collection, at 15mm~ which is extremely enlarging. The thing with 15mm lenses is that they can look very alien-esque without makeup. But, lenses of this magnitude look magical with full make and really bring attention to one's eyes. 

I have these lenses on my regular rotation now, they are really comfy! I took them out for a spin on my vacation, and wore them for long periods of time, daily. I happily had no dryness issues or sliding issues with the lenses until maybe the 10 hour mark?  Which is probably irresponsibly in my eye too long, but it's still a good measurement on how comfortable they are. If you aren't used to large lenses, you might find them a bit uncomfy for the first few moments since larger lenses may take some getting used too.

I really love the look of these lenses, and I am totally sucked into the diamond lens type of look! Totally feel like it amplifies my look in such a delightfully doll like way!

[[I'm super biased to them too, because they look absolutely bomb in selfies haha!]]

My lenses from Eyecandy's came in just under a three week period, which was great timing right before my trip and game me a perfect opportunity to test them out to the max. I've always had a good experience as a customer and as a partner, with great service and prices.

I have a code that eyecandy's kindly gave to me which is 'CARISSEIRIS', and entering it will give you a free surprise gift with purchase.

Thank's Eyecandy's, and I'm a super big fan!

GEO, Princess Mimi/ Bambi Almond Lens Review, Sponsored

Sexy or playful, I've found the most versatile lens yet, from lensvillage.com who have sent me the Geo, Princess Mimi Bambi Almond circle lens [available here], made popular by gyaru idol Tsubasa Masuwaka.

 Lens Village sent out my lenses in super speed time within the week of ordering them. Everything came nicely and neatly packed in an air tight sealed packet, and came with a nifty instruction guide on lens care and application which, if you've been on my blog a bit, I'm crazy about and find awesome for those who are new to contacts, in general! Also, a good reminder for those of us [like me] who do need some brush up on lens care. I did manage to accidentally tear my lenses with my super long nails, and immediately after contacting lens village, they took care of me, after proof of damage, and sent a replacement out to me. So, their customer service is really on top of their game and were understanding of my mess up.

The package also included their business card and a card that advertises their selfie contest which is done once a month, and you can win free circle lenses and other items~

As always, a shot of the container for authenticity.

Now on to the heart and soul of this review, the stats and close ups <3

Stats:

Life Span : 1 Year Disposable

Power Available : 0.00 to -8.00

Diameter : 14.5 mm

Base Curve : 8.6

Manufacturer : GEO Medical , South Korea

 Above is the comparison chart to how the lenses look in different lighting.
The lenses are a cool brown/ash brown which really sets off the warmer tones in darker eyes. The Bambi Almond lenses are a really good lens for beginners who are looking for a good natural dolly eye look, or those looking for a very versatile lens that amplifies the size of your eye. They give off the old school gyaru eye because of the dark limbal ring around the lens, but the gradient really bumps up the look with a modern edge. It's just a really perfect, classic circle lens. I could go on reciting praise on these lenses because I've just seen so many gals wear them and have seen all the ads, that these lenses have become so iconic to me. My expectations have been met and then some.
It's the perfect amount of enlargement without being too dramatic. You can easily use them with a more natural eye to a very dramatic look, and they enhance any eye look very well I've noticed. It's a very nice staple circle lens.

To me, these lenses are very thin, and very pliable to me, in comparison to some of the lenses I've been wearing as of late. I've been wearing them for maybe a week now, and they are quite comfortable. I haven't had any dryness issues or sliding issues. They're pretty hassle free and I was able to use them on an airplane without any discomfort either. The max for having these lenses in, in my experience is an easy 7 hours without issue. The only thing is after that amount of time, and if the lenses get dry, they really get dry and have popped out of my eye at that time. But it's usually not an issue because I only wear lenses for at most 6 hours, and if I wear them longer, I'm usually at home by that time... So It would be a good idea if you wear lenses for well over several hours to have eye drops on hand.

 Up close, you can see the lenses, though noticeable, enhances one's natural eye colour because they are such  a neutral taupe brown. I'm sure they would look amazing on a hazel or green eye because of the warmth of those colours.

My rating for the lenses would be:

Comfort, 5/5
Design, 5/5

Perfect score!
I'm just really in love with these lenses!

Lens village store has many many types of lenses, and I love the organization of their shop, it was really easy to narrow down my choices and find the lenses I liked. I want to reiterate that I am in love with how wonderful their staff is and their customer service. I'm always an antsy person when it comes to dealing with shops if I have an issue, and they made the process really easy and were very kind!
I have a code: Express, which give free expedited shipping for orders over $80.

Thank you Lens Village

 I am no Tsubasa, but I can give my best gyaru poses, haha!

EOS Ice Pink~ Review [Sponsored]

 I received a second pair of lenses from Maple Lens, which is one of my favourite lines, the EOS Ice series.
[Ice Blue review] [Ice Brown review], also from Maple Lens.

 This time I got my first pair of pink lenses.

This is the EOS Ice Pink lenses, available [here].

Stats:

Diameter : 14.8mm
Water Content : 38%
Base Curve : 8.8mm
Life Span : 1 Year Disposal

I have to say, I have been converted to pink lenses. The lenses on my eyes are not shockingly pink but enhance my eye colour with a highlight of pink. It creates more of a pink glitter to my gaze. Admittedly, I did fear that the lenses would look cloyingly pink and make me look comical, with my pink hair and all.

Rather than being too pink, I got many compliments on how pretty my eyes looked. My friends actually didn't notice they were pink from afar until I pointed it out and they looked closer.

With the EOS Ice series, the lenses have a beautiful seamless blend into my natural eye colour, something I will always appreciate aesthetically. 

The lenses are 14.8, which is obviously larger than the natural eye and gives a very doll like look. I find this size is my go to size for the perfect large eye, and doesn't take over my eye like those that are 15mm.

The lenses have a wonderful baby pink halo to the eye, which is when the you can see a small halo effect from the white of your eye peeking from behind the coloured part of the lens. Some may not like the look, but I think it looks magical and love the look very much.

The lenses so slide around slightly, but not as much as the Ice Brown lenses. At most, the lenses just slide down slightly, but it stops doing so once the lenses get a bit drier. The lenses get a bit uncomfortably dry around the 5 hour mark, but is easily fixed with a few drops of eye drops.

^^ How the lenses look in different light settings.

The Indirect sunlight picture is the closest to how they look in person, and in most settings. 

 For comfort, I give the lenses a 3/5 more so for the sliding and I do have to keep eye drops on me
Design, they get a 5/5

I wear these lenses a lot, especially because they look great in selfies and really give me a dolly eye in pictures. They also look great when I use my Naked 3 palette, really set off my Dollywink #2 lashes since the pattern and the lash pattern look quite similar.

I easily recommend MapleLens for your circle lens needs~
