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~

EOS Briller Brown~ Review [Sponsored]

My long time sponsor, Maple Lens, kindly sponsored me a pair of circle lenses.
Each lens, comes in this cute packaging, and with my proved code, they include a cute circle lens case with purchase!

 I love EOS lenses, and Maple Lens has an ever growing lens inventory with many different EOS series, plus more~
Maple lens provided me with the EOS Briller Brown lenses, [available here]
 Here's the stats:
Diameter : 14.5mm
Water Content : 38%
Base Curve : 8.8mm
Life Span : 1 Year Disposal

 The Briller series is one I haven't looked into before, and I'm so regretful I haven't! The lenses look amazing in person. They're very natural and give my eyes a dreamy and shining look. I appreciate that these lenses don't look pixelated in any way, which can be one of my pet peeves. They also have a very pretty halo effect when in sunlight.

How the lenses look in multiple lighting^^

The size of the lenses is just right, which is a given of 14.5 size lenses. They are very natural and just a tiny bit enlarging, which is great for beginners and those who wear light to no makeup, and for those who wear heavy makeup, the lenses are a great lens that doesn't overpower one's eyes, but enhances.
Like most EOS lenses, the contacts are very comfortable and I have no issue with irritation, which is why these lenses have become my 'everyday' contacts. The only problem, is that they get dry quite quickly.. But that's easily remedied with eye drops. The most I can wear the lenses before they get dry is 4 hours but with a few moisturizing drops, I can go 6-7 hours with no problem.

For comfort, I give the lenses a 4/5
For design I give the lenses a 4/5
 Pretty natural lenses~
Maple Lens has great customer service and I would get my questions replied to under a 24 hour time period, and the shipping took less than three business days, and everything was wrapped in bubble wrap and packaged nicely.

Maple lens, is my longest sponsor, and I happily and easily recommend them.

I hope you enjoyed this review, and will go check them out, and get a pretty pair for spring!

Also, sorry for the long hiatus;;
I've been kind of busy lately~

But, I'm back now!

Ice Brown, E.O.S Circle Lenses~ Review

 When I ordered at maple lens, besides buying blue lenses I also got the Ice  Brown lenses to play with and maybe make my staple eye wear~
[available here]
Stats:
SKU: Ice Brown
Brand: ( E.O.S )
Diameter : 14.8mm
Water Content : 38%
Base Curve : 8.8mm
Life Span : 1 Year Disposal



These lenses are okay in terms of comfort... I actually find them a little irritating and they slide around a lot compared to my Ice Blue lenses... They also get dry quite quickly so that I really don't wear them over 6 hours..
Like the Ice blue lenses, I really do loved the design and how it blends into my iris and gives a beautiful crystal-y effect! They're also very natural looking which I love!
As for enlargement, I think they look huuuge on me but after I got used to how big they were, I enjoyed the all over appeal of them. They even looked okay with very minimal makeup~


 My rating would be:
3/5 because they slide around a lot and it gets kind of annoying and irritaing.... But I will wear them occasionally because they're pretty....

Anywho, I think I'm going to keep looking for the perfect brown circle lenses...

Ice Blue, E.O.S Circle Lenses~ Review

I finally bought a pair of blue lenses for myself [er, one that wasn't painful..]
So, I decided to go to Maplelens and use my code, carisseiris, to purchase the E.O.S Ice Blue lenses

Here's the stats~
SKU: Ice Blue
Brand: ( E.O.S )
Diameter : 14.8mm
Water Content : 38%
Base Curve : 8.8mm
Life Span : 1 Year Disposal




 I really like these lenses, and I've been wearing them almost every day since I got them in the mail. They're really comfortable and I can easily wear them a good 6 hours without discomfort. They do dry out quite quickly, but it's nothing a few drops of re-wetting eye drops can't fix, and I'm good for another 3-4 hours.
I think the design is really cute and makes my eyes look magical and sparkly! I really love the Pretty blue ring around my iris! I have been getting a LOT of compliments on them too. They're quite obviously contacts and not very natural, but a lot of girls and even a few guys asked me about them and where I got the lenses!
I really enjoy how the colour gradients into my natural colour and I'm pretty sure they'd look amazing on lighter eye colours too.
As for the enlargement, they are HUGE! They make my eyes look really dolly but not humongous enough that they make me uncomfortable [which tends to be lenses that are 15mm].
My rating for these lenses would be:

4/5
Just because they tend to get dry faster than my other lenses, but besides that, they're pretty perfect!

Fay 3 Tone Violet, EOS Circle Lenses [Sponsored]

 So, this really awesome circle lens site called Maple Lens contacted me and asked me to do a review for them and after checking them out and talking to one of the staff, I knew they were really quality and really sweet and just the perfect fit for me. So, a little more than a week later and deciding on a pair of lenses, I got this pretty little package in the post!
I also got this really adorable 'Thank you' card from them, they're too kind. Also note that everything is in lavender! I was so happy with that small little touch. I also received a little special something via email from them too, but I will share that later~ 
 Also, look how well packaged everything is! It's sealed shut and it made me feel very secure that my lenses were in good care while being shipped to me.
 All of the lavender goodness! I think the elephant cases are too cute, and I keep playing with them.
Now to the good part~

The lenses!
So, I ordered the Fay 3 Tone Violet Lenses

Stats:
SKU: Fay Violet
Brand: ( E.O.S )
Diameter : 14.5mm
Water Content : 38%
Base Curve : 8.6mm
Weight : 0.100 kgs
Life Span : 1 Year Disposal

 
 I really like them, and I think they look magical! This is actually my first unnatural coloured lens I've owned, and I'm so happy that I chose violet because it really goes well with my features.
I think I like these more than my Gossip Aqua lenses that I have not to mention they're way more comfortable than them, and I can wear them for well over 10 hours without discomfort.
With these lenses, I find that they actually feel better after the 3 hour mark and they don't slide around my eye and I actually forget they're there.
Now, for the design, I think they have a very natural look despite the bright colouring and it blends well into my eye. My friends have told me that they look like they are my real eye colour from afar, even as close as 3 feet from my face. Alas, from really up close they are slightly pixelated [which my be the only downside], but who really gets that close except for myself when I'm fixing my makeup?
The colour may look quite bright, but I assure you that in real life, it gives the impression of clarity like lighter eyes tend to have so I find that effect really awesome and pretty~
The enlargement it just perfect for me, as I've stated before that I love lenses that are 14.5 because they are bigger than my natural iris and make my eyes look larger, but not too much that they take over my whole eye.

My rating:
is a 4/5 [just because of the pixelated look near the center of the lenses]
They really do look pretty from a bit farther back~
 Now, as for the special email. They told me that from here on out, if you guys order from them with my code 'carisseiris' you get :


+15% discount coupon 
+mystery gift



I am so excited to finally have something awesome an applicable for you guys~~
And I wouldn't send you off into some really shady place, trust me.
