Review | Beuberry Natural Grey Lens

 Hi again everyone! 
I guess I got excited about these lenses, last night's fiasco (R.I.P. left puffy green lens) :'(
But this morning I put my Beuberry Natural Grey lenses in, and I am really impressed.

This is my first time trying Beuberry lenses. I got them in my package from Uniqso.
I think they are almost identical to the GEO Xtra Grey, but maybe slightly less dramatic. 

I'm definitely going to put these back into their lens case A LOT more carefully than I did with my Barbie Puffy 3 tone greens. I'm still very upset with myself for wrecking them. 
But these lenses have got me all excited because they are excellent as well!

|  Just painted my nails! ^__^  |
 They are INCREDIBLY comfortable. The most comfortable big lenses I've worn so far. 
Despite being 16mm in diameter, I've been wearing the lenses for 8 hours already and am experiencing almost no discomfort (that said, I should probably take them out soon).

If I had one complaint about these lenses, it's that they're TOO comfortable
I keep forgetting I'm wearing them!  ; )

|  This was on my way to work. I obviously just woke up. Baggy eyes. (-__-')  |

Honestly though, I can't fault these lenses on anything. 
The design is perfect for my grey-blue eyes and they are quite natural looking whilst still being really enlarging. I definitely recommend these lenses to anyone wanting to give some larger lenses a try! Especially if you're prone to dry eyes, because these are a very comfortable 16mm lens.

They're great for those with lighter coloured eyes. It seems like these were almost designed with lighter coloured eyes in mind. Which is nice, as it seems like most are designed especially for darker eye colours (that makes sense of course, since they're made in Asia).

I love love looove these lenses!

Close up / Comparisons

Above is a comparison between the GEO Xtra WTA55, and the Beuberry Natural Grey.
In terms of aesthetics, the difference between these lenses is barely noticeable.
I think that the GEO Xtra look an itty bitty bit bigger, and in terms of design, GEO use lines going inward from the limbal ring, whereas Beuberry use a ring of fading pixels.
Both blend well with my natural eyes, but I do think that the Beuberry's are less dramatic.

Hooray! I'm excited to try my last pair of new lenses from my package. :D
Stay tuned, and thanks for reading!

Upcoming Lens Reviews

Hi everyone!
I just picked up my latest purchase from Uniqso!
And as always, I'm really excited to try all my new lenses. The reviews will be posted over the next couple of weeks.
I have them soaking in solution at the moment... I wish I didn't have to wait!! >_<



It came with these which each contain a pair of rubber tipped tweezers, lens case, mirror, and a lens remover. I've never used a lens remover before, and to be honest I think it might be harder to use the stick than my fingers. But I'll give it a try anyway. For science! ;P

It's always a lovely surprise when I open my packages from Uniqso and see the gifts they've left for me.
They really are so lovely. (^_^)
Keep smiling, and stay tuned for these lens reviews!

Review | GEO Xtra WTA55 Grey Lens


Hi everybody!
I've already shared a couple of images of me wearing these lenses in previous posts, 
but felt I should give a proper review and provide some comparison pictures!
It's been a while since I've reviewed any lenses, but I will have some new ones coming soon as well!

I bought these lenses from Uniqso, who are currently celebrating their 2nd anniversary!
I prefer to buy from Uniqso because they provide excellent advice and customer service.



Photo from my last outfit post!


I bought f(x)'s new album, Pink Tape. It's such a great album!!!
I love every single song and the packaging is so cute. Korea really know how to package their music.

I can't resist snapping photos of us hanging out using Photobooth on my computer. ^_^

GEO Xtra Review

Colour & Design
The colour and design of these is wonderful. Great for those with grey or light blue eyes. I think they would work really well with hazel or green eyes as well.


Enlargement
The enlargement of these is great! The colour on the edges blends into the grey colouring of the lens a bit so there isn't too harsh an edge (such as on the Candy Eye grey lenses). This provides extra enlargement without looking too crazy alien.


Comfort
Today I wore these lenses from 9am - 3pm. That's around 7 hours, which is when they started to feel a bit dry. I probably could have applied eye drops and worn them for longer though. So these are relatively comfortable. Especially given their larger diameter. These are as comfortable, or possibly more comfortable than the EOS puffy 3 tone grey lenses, which are only 14.5mm. So that's pretty excellent.

Details
Diameter: 15mm
Base curve: 8.7
Water Content: 38%

The verdict

These lenses are a good balance of natural and dramatic. The colour compliments my natural eye colour and blends well. The darker limbal ring creates quite a lot of enlargement, but detracts from the naturalness of the lenses. They definitely give your eyes a dolly like look, without making you look too alien.

These lenses are my new favourite grey pair. Granted, I haven't tried THAT many but these are the biggest and most comfortable I've tried. I really like them and they've re-sparked my love of lenses.

These lenses get a 10/10!


 YAY! Well I hope you liked this post.

Review | EOS Puffy 3 Tone Grey Lens

Hi everyone!
I ordered the EOS Puffy 3 Tone Grey lenses from UNIQSO. The website was great and the shipping was really fast! They came in an adorable little box with a standard lenses case. I like that the lens case is clear so I can see which lenses are in there.

this box will surely get filled with ribbons and bobby pins.

Hello + EOS Candy Eye Grey review!

Hello world.
I'm Bec and this is my first post of my first ever blog and I've decided to talk about something I recently discovered (a small new obsession of mine). That is: circle lenses!!!

Circle lenses are contact lenses that are usually bigger than your natural iris and so they have an enlarging effect. They come in many different colours and sizes. Some have dark circles on the outer edge (to imitate the natural limbal ring of the eye), making your eyes look HUGE! Some people like natural looking lenses whilst other people go for that dramatic look that will turn heads.


Hello everyone! Me being a dork.
My natural eye colour + shirt from Chicwish
  As circle lenses are mostly worn by people with dark eyes (they're originally from South Korea and popular in Japan), it's pretty hard finding reviews of circle lenses by people with light eyes. So I'm going to try and give my opinion on every pair I buy for light eyed people interested in trying circle lenses :)

NOTE: There are definitely risks involved with cosmetic contact lenses!!! In Australia and many other countires you can purchase them off the internet easily without a prescription, however please make sure you read about them first! How to open the lens bottles, how to take care of them properly, how to clean them, and the importance of inserting them before you apply makeup and checking the lens for particles or damage before putting them in your eye. A tiny tear in a lens can cause scratches on your eye and cause permanent damage. So always take care! This blog has a great guide on how to care for lenses.

My first pair were EOS Candy Eye Grey
(from speciallens.com)


EOS Candy Eye Grey (ignore my huge nose please)
 I bought these from speciallens.com. They have tons of circle lenses and you can select prescriptions for each lens if you normally wear glasses! They were really helpful with all the questions I had so check out their site (link is above). These were the very first pair of contact lenses I've ever worn, so it was a bit tricky getting them in at first.  I think these would be best to wear out at night with simple makeup (some black eyeliner and lots of mascara).


Comparison.
 Colour/Design: 6/10
These make my eyes look very unnatural. The grey blended in well with my natural blue-grey eyes and the colour change was minimal. But the thick black outter ring looks very unnatural on light eyes. I know what to look for in my next pair though, and I still think these are great for a dramatic look.

Comfort: Because I don't have anything to compare them to, it's hard to say how comfortable they are. However I wore them for 6 hours without my eyes drying out. I sometimes forgot that they were there! Occasionally the lens would shift and I would have blurred vision, however closing and rubbing my eyelid repositioned the lens easily.

Enlargement: 10/10
My eyes look SO BIG! Even though they are only 14.5mm in diameter the black ring really enlarges your eye. My sister freaked out when she saw me wearing these. "Your eyes are enormous!!" Hehehe. So in terms of enlargement they get a perfect 10!

Overall: 7/10
These might not have been the best first pair for me to try, but they're still very fun lenses with a very dramatic effect. I feel like they would look better on those with darker eyes, but as long as you don't mind an unnatural looking limbal ring, these lenses are great.


The details
  • Base Curve: 8.6 
  • Diameter: 14.5mm
Water % of Content: 38%  Manufacturer: EOS
  • Reflective Index : 1.43 (wet)
  • Oxygen Permeability : 16DK 
  • Lens Type: 1 year

  • Okay! I think that's all. Please feel free to ask any questions in the comments. Also I'm sorry for the poor quality photos. Will review my other pairs later!
