Review: GEO Flower Lotus Gray

Hai hai ~

Here is my second grey lens review of A/W 2014 (and last of this season)!

This time I decided to try a grey lens with a really bold pattern, for kurogal/oraora style! Even though I have never dressed oraora, and I don't think I could with the wardrobe I have (lol), the style is pretty awesome so perhaps I could incorporate some of it into my daily fashion with awesome lenses!

As usual, I went to GEO/EOS on my hunt for lenses. In the end, these are the two brands I absolutely trust in the market. There are so many new brands coming out in droves, it's hard to imagine that any would have developed a good formula, or one that's better than such established brands right?? (I bought these before EyeCandy's kindly sent me the Royal Vision Bella 4 Tone Gray)

I always wanted to try a pair of lenses that had a pattern like diamonds on it, even though the design is really in-your-face and super unnatural ><

Now, on to the review!

Specs

Power: 0.00 ~ -8.00

Diameter: 15.0mm

Base Curve: 8.7mm

Water Content: 38%

1 Year Disposable

Stock photo. Again. Sorry QAQ

Even though these lenses appear to have a small amount of space in the middle for the iris, it's never obstructed my vision. The lenses feel a little stiff (compared to EOS Ice series), but they're not really drying. It's just quite noticeable that you're wearing lenses. Sometimes with the ice series I really do forget why my vision is so clear without glasses on (lol)!

I think perhaps contacts with large black limbal rings appear smaller than they actually are? The enlargement is not as much as I would expect from an 15.0mm. It feels more like...14.5~14.8 perhaps?

They don't look 15.0mm...

I guess in terms of natural-ness, it's actually pretty good for lenses with a diamond-like pattern. The light grey pattern, though opaque, is not as obvious as I thought it would be since all the colors are in small specks and there are a few shades of grey. Especially since the edge of my iris is not that obvious as the grey is rather opaque, and the pattern diamond-like anyway. However, the inner edge where the grey ends is quite obvious, which I dislike.

Ratings

Design: 5/5 - probably the most natural diamond pattern lenses on the market?

Comfort: 4/5 - feels a little thick

Enlargement: 3/5 - not as much as I was expecting

Overall: 4/5

These lenses would look great with really heavy eye makeup ora ora/rokku style though!

Like this. right? right???? xD

Selfies -

The design is super nice from far away ~

Can't see the edge of my iris at all!

I just wanted to show my hair accessories tbh ^^;

All in all, these lenses were fun to try, but I think (for now) I will personally stick with purchasing teary type lenses. They're just so much easier to work with all types of looks ><

Review: GEO Olive Brown Circle Lens

Hiya!

Every year I will open a smaller diameter lens for uni use, as 14.5mm is really really bad for my eyes (though 14.00mm is not really that much smaller actually...). Late last year I realised how much I use circle lenses, so I have decided it's best to do a half year / 1/3 year rotation of lenses since my lenses seem to feel dry far before their year is up.

Anyway, My dedicated uni/formal occasion lenses for A/W 2014 are GEO Olive brown!

I've had my eyes set on trying these lenses since high school or something! A long time ago, GEO had a circle lens series named Wing, which may or may not have had a slighter more solid black ring than these olive lenses. The wing lenses were discontinued eventually for some reason unbeknownst to me, and they released Olive as the 'revamped verson'. I've been looking to these lenses since the days of GEO wing haha~ (I feel so old!)

Let's start with the basics-

Specs

Power: 0.00 ~ -10.00

Diameter : 14.2mm

Water Content : 38~42%

Base Curve : 8.60mm

1 Year Disposable

First of all, I don't know why the listings for these lenses say 38-42% water content. Like, is it actually 38, but you think it could go up to 42% so that number is just chucked in there?? Make up your mind GEO! >:l

Actually the truth is, I have no idea how water content in contact lenses is measured or anything. This is just the first time I've seen a label that didn't clearly state the water content % as one number .-.

Again, like my EOS Ice Brown review, I've lost the photo of the lens in its bottle so...here's another stock photo of the lens :D

pixelated as heeeeeeck x'D

The ring around the edge isn't black, but a dark brown. The dark brown isn't actually that dark, so it looks quite convincing on my brown eyes. I generally avoid lenses that have a rather solid ring around the centre where the color ends, instead I prefer lenses that have rays, so it blends better with my iris, but I trusted these would be okay....and they are! Also, the amount of space they leave in the centre is really nice.

I've bought lenses in the past where that space for the pupil is so tiny that i often saw color when i look around. Obviously there's something wrong with the fact that my lenses weren't following my eye movement entirely, but still, not leaving enough space for the iris is an error in design too.

The color of the lens has more red than my iris, so sometimes it looks a bit odd. Especially when I use flash. In fact I think the entire lens color is slightly darker than my iris....

Ratings

Design: 5/5 - the design is perfect for a 14.2mm lens

Comfort: 5/5 - can be worn from early morning to late evening comfortably. NOT RECOMMENDED THOUGH

Enlargement: 3/5 - I live on 14.5mm+ lenses. For a 14.2, these are pretty good though.

Overall: 4/5 - would purchase again.

I may try other series for 'uni-lenses' but these are definitely a safe option if you don't want to look around and try a whole bunch for yourself :)

How they look on me -

It's really dark, right?

The size is nice and natural!

The tiny flecks of color add to the natural look ~

GEO Bambi Almond (Princess Mimi) Circle Lens Review [Confetti]

Hi there~ this is part 3 of my 2013 circle lens roundup reviews!



View my other 2013 CL reviews:

Part 1 - EOS Ice Violet

Part 2 - EOS Max Pure Blue

Part 4 - Vassen Crystal Blue


Now let’s begin!

Every year, I will buy at least one pair of lenses in a brownish sort of colorwhether it be more of a chocolate, caramel, or some other shade. Geo Bambi Almond was my brown for 2013

I bought it near the start of the year, and loved it so much that I didn’t feel the need to buy any more! If it weren’t for the fact that there are sooo many lenses on the market I haven’t tried yet, I would honestly just keep re-purchasing these lenses every year. Forever.

GEO Eyescream Review [Confetti]

disclaimer: all reviews on this blog are 100% our own opinions, even if the products are sponsored.



Hiya!

Today I am posting the long-awaited GEO eyescream review! This series consist of (brown)Chocomousse, (hazel) Vanilla Brown, and (gray) Rayray Gray lenses.

The lenses were sent to us by GEO coloured lenses in October *last year* during exam period, so we never got around to doing a full photoshoot for them ><

We considered leaving this review until Cora got back from Europe so that we could do a full shoot, but it’s just too far off ><

So yup, this review is just going to come from visually impaired me today!

GEO Eyes Cream series yay! Bottles are so kawaii~~



TBH when I first heard about these lenses, i expected some dreamy swirly super big and dolly lenses. And when I got the lenses, my first thought was “oh wow, they’re actually really natural…*insert disappointment*”

It’s actually been quite a while since i really splurged on GEO lenses, since I’ve been really after the OTT colors and super large lenses that don’t look natural at all. It’s actually quite nice to try these for a change!
