☂ lens review (GEO: plum brown)

H-Hello everyone!! It's been a (long) while since I last posted and the only excuse I can give is that uni ate up so much of my free time, I could barely use makeup or cosplay;; But now that it's my mid-year break, I now have a month of free time to catch up on all my backlog and hopefully post more frequently - especially now that I'm preparing my cosplays for upcoming conventions!!

Today I'll be reviewing GEO Medical's Plum Brown (WTC24), once again sponsored by the lovely 
Adelaide Little Lens.

Company: GEO Medical
Diameter: 14.8mm
Water content: 42%
Base curve: 8.8mm
Prescription: Yes
Lifespan: 1 year
left: outside view & right: inside view

COLOUR & DESIGN
★★★☆☆
The distinct flower design is definitely unique and something that I especially adore, as I've never owned a pair of circle lenses with a design that purposely does not blend it naturally. Unfortunately, this shade of brown does not show up well because of my dark eye colour, so most of the floral pattern is lost unless you're in very close proximity. 



ENLARGEMENT
★★★★★
As a 14.8mm lens, this certainly enlarges your eyes significantly, though not to crazy and unnatural proportions. It can definitely be worn both casually and for achieving a doll eyed effect ♥

COMFORT
★★★★☆
Initially I had some problems getting the contacts in, experiencing uncomfortable pains with my right eye. It took a couple more tries to adjust to the lens, but after a minute or so the pain went away! I think it was just my eyes not being accustomed to wearing contacts after such a long time;; Besides this little issue, I experienced no dryness or other problems (♡˙︶˙♡)

OVERALL
★★★☆☆
All in all, I'm quite happy with these lenses! The only let down is the colour and design not showing up very clearly, but it's still nice to wear when I'm looking for a comfortable lens that naturally enhances my eyes. 

As such, I wore this lens with light makeup for a casual and cute look!! Please excuse the changing lighting, it was cloudy the day I took photos wwwww I really should invest in a better camera ( ̄▽ ̄*)ゞ

☂ lens review (GEO: angel violet)

Hello everyone!!

I've recently started uni so things have been quite hectic, but things should settle down soon and I'll be posting a bit more regularly :) I've also started sewing my cosplays for this year, so hopefully some progress posts will be up! Today I'll be reviewing GEO Medical's Angel Violet, sponsored by 
Adelaide Little Lens.  

Company: GEO Medical
Diameter: 14.2mm
Water content: 42%
Base curve: 8.60mm
Prescription: Yes
Lifespan: 1 year
vials

COLOUR & DESIGN
★★★☆☆
Aaaaaah unfortunately the colours showed up poorly on my dark brown eyes, only showing true purple in very good lighting + close up. The design is very nice though, and I especially like how the black specks create a gradient and help blend the colour in.  

ENLARGEMENT
★★★★☆
14.2mm lenses don't really have a significant enlarging effect, however the thick, black limbal ring really defines and makes the eyes pop out and look more cartoonish!!

COMFORT
★★★★★
Probably the most comfortable pair of lenses I've owned! Usually putting contacts in on the first go gives me some trouble (constant shifting or some pains), but these went in with no problem at all :) Wore them for approximately 2-3 hours, and only needed some eye drops afterwards, as per usual.

OVERALL
★★★☆☆
Overall, these are quite some nice circle lenses! The only let down was the colour, which to be honest I wasn't expecting too much (it might turn out better on light coloured eyes though). These are definitely good for those looking for a slight change of colour/understated lenses for casual wear and such!!

I did a quick fairy-kei makeup look with these, and it turned out looking a bit circus inspired?? Anyways, hope you found this review helpful :)

☂ lens review (GEO: nudy blue)

Trying to get into the groove of things again, so I'm aiming to at least post twice every month on here (* >ω<) So time for another lens review!! Today I'll be reviewing GEO Medical's Nudy in blue, sponsored by Adelaide Little Lens  as always!

Company: GEO Medical
Diameter: 14.2mm
Water content: 42%
Base curve: 8.60mm
Prescription: Yes
Lifespan: 1 year
vials
left: outside view & right: inside view

COLOUR & DESIGN
★★★☆☆
Rather than blue, the colours showed up more grey? Nonetheless the colours and design still looks pretty natural :) The only problem I have with it is the space between the limbal ring and my iris, where there is a noticeable gap.

ENLARGEMENT
★★★☆☆
As 14.2mm lenses, the enlargement factor is not significant. This would be great for beginners to start wearing contacts, or for casual wear.

COMFORT
★★★★☆
I found that these contacts were thinner than usual, and had some problems when I first put them on. They shifted every time my eyes moved and refused to sit still, but after trying them on again the next day, it stopped shifting. I have no idea why I had problems when I first put them on, but now it's 100% okay and comfortable! Had these on for two hours for when I ran an errand and I only need eyedrops after taking them off.

OVERALL
★★★☆☆
Overall, I quite like these lenses! Though there isn't anything remarkable about them, they'll probably be used most often for every day wear ♥

☂ lens review (GEO: bella special blue)

Hello everyone! It's a bit late, but Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it, and happy holidays :) Hope everyone had a fun time with their loved ones, and received plenty of presents. Today I'll be reviewing GEO Medical's Bella Special Blue, sponsored by Adelaide Little Lens!

Company: GEO Medical
Diameter: 14.2mm
Water content: 42%
Base curve: 8.60mm
Prescription: Yes
Lifespan: 1 year

vials
left: outside view & right: inside view

COLOUR & DESIGN
★★☆☆☆
Unfortunately, these circle lenses showed up very poorly. Whilst the design and blue pigments are lovely on their own, it looks more like black lenses when on top of my dark brown eyes. Only in the flash and really good lighting would you be able to see the shade of blue. I'm sure these would look much better on light coloured eyes though!

ENLARGEMENT
★★★☆☆
As 14.2mm lenses, these only enlarge the eyes a little bit. Definitely not one you would wear for the dolly eyes effect in cosplay, but still very wearable and a great size for beginners to start off from.

COMFORT
★★★★★
I wore this pair for about two hours for photo taking and review purposes, and they gave me no problems at all. Just had small discomforts when first putting them on, which went away in a few seconds. Added the usual eyedrops after taking them out, but besides that it's all good!

OVERALL
★★☆☆☆
Slightly disappointed with this pair of circle lenses, I was expecting a lot more opacity in the colour... Nonetheless, these lenses would be great for casual wear to go out in, as they are not obnoxiously colourful and are a comfortable size.

Following this advice, I chose to wear these lenses with a simple blouse and wig for the casual wear theme!!
