[Review] - GEO Tri Color Violet (on light eyes)

Yesterday when looking back at some older posts that I wrote, I realized how far I have come with this blog. Back when I posted my first lens review on July 14th 2013, I wrote that I was sure that my blog would some day grow popular enough for me to do sponsored reviews but when thinking back to that time, I don't think I ever expected to come as far as I have so far.
This is not meant as bragging or to show off. I just I sincerely believe that it's important for us bloggers whether small or big to sometimes stop, take a step back, and watch how we have grown over the years.

I'd like to stop this topic here as that will be for another post that I promise will be up soon.
Instead, today I want to share a review with you. One of the milestones I have reached lately is to be sponsored both wigs and lenses for reviews.
Before I start the review I would like to send a big THANK YOU to LensFlavors who reached out to me a little over two weeks ago - Thank you for the lenses and giving me a chance to grow as a blogger.


Now, let's get to the review.
The lenses I will be reviewing are the GEO Tri Color Violet.
Ready?
Let's go!

〜〜〜〜〜〜〜

It took about 2 weeks from when I picked the lenses until they first arrived and LensFlavors were quick to respond to my request, sending out the lenses the day after.

And here you see a GEO sticker on the vial, which is to make sure that you have gotten yourself a pair of authentic lenses. To do this you'll have to scratch the silver part and get a code - I verified mine after taking these pictures~

I was already super excited when I saw the lenses in the vial. Isn't that just a lovely shade?

With my order I also received a free lens case and a mystery gift: mine happened to be one of those velcro thingies to hold your hair back while doing your make-up. The lenses were inside the red pack.

Colour   ★★★★★

They have a beautiful beautiful violet colour that is a bit to the warm side. When worn inside they will have a more cold feel to them. The limbal ring is not solid, which makes this pair of lenses perfect as natural lenses for people with light eye colours even though they have an unatural colour in the first place. The yellow/orange spots in the middle are not as visible once worn but do help to make the lenses blend in more with your own eyes. Speaking of blending in, the lenses have a dotted design that becomes less solid the closer it gets to the pupil - another thing that makes them appear natural.

Enlargement   ★★☆☆☆

As you will see in the pictures by the end of the post, they do enlarge a bit but not much. A person who's had their share of circle lens experience will probably be able to tell that you're wearing something (or, you know it could also be because your eyes have suddenly turned PURPLE) but I don't feel like they stand out much size wise. With a diameter of just 14.2mm this is to be expected.

Comfort   ★★★☆☆

I'm not exactly sure how to rate the comfort. As for my right eye there were no problems at all but I had troubles with the left lens every time I put it in while I was in Korea. It was thin as well, which might have made it harder but I find it weird how I didn't feel anything in my right eye. Once the left lens was in I had to move it with my finger for it to actually cover my iris and it would annoy my eye for a couple of minutes afterwards.

Otherwise I only had troubles when it was so bright outside that I had to squint my eyes all the time and when that happened, both my eyes would feel annoyed from having the lenses in.

Since extreme sunlight was the only case I had troubles with both lenses I suspect the problems with my left eye being due to my own eye being dry. I know it's possible for one eye to be more dry than the other since I experienced that when I lived in America so I won't too bad of the lenses but at the same time I can't give them 5 stars.

Pictures

Please note that I got a cat hair in my eye, causing some redness in the eye to the right (Just in case one of them looks red on your screen).

Overall   ★★★★☆

I'm really satisfied with these lenses and have no complaints so far. I picked them because I thought they would look very natural and even though they are violet, I don't feel like they stand out too much. Only two people commented on my eyes looking different; one because he always looks me in the eyes when we meet, and the other after I asked her if she could see that anything on me had changed.

I used them as my every day lenses while I was in Korea some 2-3 weeks ago and overall I'm quite happy with them. I'll definitely continue using them until they expire ^0^ 

If you like these lenses but worry about the color, remember that they are also available in green, brown, blue, and grey.


That was all for now. I hope you enjoyed the review!

[Review] - Super Pinky Violet Lenses

Hey girls! (and guys?)

I AM BACK!

I do realize that it's been pretty much FOR-E-VER since I last posted on my beauty blog. This is due to my exchange year and all the stuff I had to do when I first came home. Anywho, I apologize. I promise it won't be that long until my next beauty entry.  

Let's get to business!

Today I'm going to be doing a review! 

A review of my (new) Super Pinky Violet lenses!

The reason that I put 'new' in between these ( ) is that they are not completely new anymore. I bought these lenses in April but never really got to use them before now.

Even though I'd LOVE to be able to review products for companies, the truth is that my blog is just not that popular yet (and hey.. we all have to start somewhere, right?) but I'm positive that it one day will be! 

Therefore, this post is purely for fun and practice.

Back in April, my hostsister and I decided to be courageous and order our first pairs of lenses! 

As I'm a big fan of Xiaxue and have read good reviews from her, I decided to use get my lenses from one of the same websites that she uses. Honeycolor!

Now let's begin!

Natural colour
Just so you can see how much they enlarge my eyes :)

Outdoor

Indoor
(The colour pretty much stays the same; however, if you take a picture using flash, it won't blend as well and the colour will be a bit darker).

With makeup
Because I think lenses with this colour suits makeup better than bare eyes.

Information:

Diameter: 14.8 mm

Water Content: 45%

Base curve: 8.6 mmLife Span: 1 year

Delivery   ★★★★★

At the point of ordering, I was still in California (I guess it will actually make a difference where my location is), and I ordered US Express shipping. It was meant to show up in 3-5 workdays. I ordered on a Sunday and it came to my house Thursday so no complains here at all.

Also, the actual lenses came in two little bottles inside this small yellow box. 

On the backside, there were instructions on how to insert the lens in case of any confusion

Adorable little bottles! I've kept them as souvenirs~ 

If you're like me and either need glasses or lenses, don't worry! If you know your prescription you can just order your lenses with that and *poof!* perfect vision and perfect dolly eyes :)

HoneyColor also sent me this free animal case to store my lenses in when I'm not using them. They come in  different colours (pink, orange, green, purple, blue, and even aqua) and four different animals (balloonfish, elephants, frogs, or little pigs like mine) which will be randomly selected for you :)

for every order you place, they will send you a free lens case!

Comfort   ★★★☆☆

Daily, I use normal disposable lenses so I was already used to the feeling of 'having something in my eye' but I had heard that circle lenses were very different as they were bigger than normal lenses. 

The first time I used them, I did feel some discomfort but it only lasted the first minute or two after putting them on. I could feel something in my eye but it wasn't bugging me. I just knew there was something there. 

Today when I tried them on again, I felt nothing at all. They are very comfortable! And take that from a person who has never worn large lenses like these before. 

However, they made my eyes feel a little dry once in a while so I carried a bottle of  'Clear Eyes' around with me.

Enlargement   ★★★★★ 

The largest diameter you can buy circle lenses with is 15.0 mm, mine are, however, the next step down, 14.8 mm. 

The limbal ring is really not that over-done as I see in many lenses (and usually this make them appear even bigger), but I still think mine make my eyes look really big. They're clearly much larger than my normal eyes, and I'm just overally really happy about them. To me they don't look like 14.8 but the 15.0 ones you can get. Great!

Colour   ★★★★☆

When I first typed in "purple lenses" in the search bar, I was hoping to find a very light pastel purple. After seeing a bunch of almost mid/rather dark purple, I thought that my wish was impossible to fulfill until I then found these Super Pinky! I looked at the picture, then on pictures of Google, then on Youtube reviews, and finally on my own eyes. The colour is PERFECT! The cutest pastel purple I have ever seen on lenses. You can trust the colour shown on their website 100%. 

The little scattered squares make the design look super cute and with this design, the outer part of it doesn't look too harsh either (sadly, they look harsh on the iris). 

I'm also very happy about the way they cover my own eyes. 

When looking at other lenses and seeing how little part of the lens is actually "coloured", I was surprised to see how well my own eyecolour has been hidden. 

Overall   ★★★☆☆ (3½ stars)

Although I LOOOOVE these lenses, they won't be for everyday use due to the supernatural colour (In my case). I would love to use them but I think, now that I'm still pretty much a rookie when it comes to having different eyecolours, I want to tone my eyes down a little. 

At parties though, they're amazing!

Also, since this is not a natural colour, I recommend wearing makeup when using them. If not, they could look a little freaky, but hey, the positive?

You can wear ALOT of different makeup with them and even dark makeup will be no problem (even during daytime) because the light design tones it down. 

Other Colours

If you like the lens but don't feel crazy enough to try the purple, this lens can also be found in Red, Wine Red, Hazel, Brown, Green, Blue, and Gray.  

Do you want these lenses too?

I put a link in for you right here so you can also order some (or sneak peak if you prefer)
