100. [Review] EOS G208 Candy Jewel Lenses in Brown

100th post?!


Actually, not really. Technically, it's my 128th post, but my 100th from when I started actually numbering them lol. Well today I'm going to be sharing another circle lens review! I'm excited about this one, since the look I went for I'm possibly going to be using for my cosplay next weekend!
Can you guess who I'm going as? ...Probably not, because I haven't cut the bangs and I couldn't get a decent picture with glasses -hint hint-



I purchased these lenses from Kiwiberry-1 Collection!


EOS G208 Candy Jewels in Brown
Diameter: 14.5mm
Base Curve: 8.6mm
Water Content: 38%
Duration: 1 year




Design...
Simple yet bold. It has a very obvious black limbal ring that make your eyes stand out. I think the simple single-color really brings balance to the lens though, so it's not too dramatic, and still wearable for everyday use on some (see Overall).

Color...
In sunlight, it comes off slightly more of a gold-brown, whereas in bathroom lighting it's a lot darker.  It's quite pretty, but from afar it doesn't look like it blends too well for some reason!

Enlargement...
These enlarge the eyes a LOT! I was quite surprised, since I don't remember my blue lenses enlarging this much lol. You need some heavy makeup to really balance these lenses, otherwise you'll look like an alien haha

Comfort...
I can't really say, since I only wore them once for a few hours! They took a while to adjust at first, then I forgot I was wearing them. Being in the sun with lenses irritates my eyes a bit, so I did experience some discomfort, but I'll update once I try wearing them more.

Overall...
I like these lenses a lot! I've been wanting to try them for ages, and I'm glad I finally bought them. At least to satisfy my curiosity. ;p They give off a very dolly-eyed look, though I wish they were a bit darker and covered more of the eye. For photos, it's a good pair of lenses, but I would probably only wear these for photos, cosplay, etc. They're a little too dramatic on me for everyday personally, but I've seen other gals rocking them. I guess I just tend to be a bit more conservative with my everyday lens choices ;p I am happy to add them to my collection though, don't get me wrong! I would recommend these to anyone looking for a good amount of enlargement yet simplicity to the overall design that manages to give off a more natural dolly-eyed look.

Commence pic spam. :p








Okay, enough of my mug..

OH! I have a week off from work next week! HUZZAH! I'll try to work on some posts while finishing up cosplay work. Hope to see some of you guys at Fanime? ho ho~

Talk to you folks next time!

  23. Thank you babe! <3 Yeah I was really pleased how nice they look with the wig! They kind of look a little too dramatic without a wig though! XD

    ReplyDelete
  24. Get them in your next order! And let me know what you think! -nod nod-

    Yeah the color changes slightly under different lighting, so you get different effects :D In sunlight they look more gold, but indoors they look dark brown :'D

  30. T///////T I love you. <3

    Thanks!! I'm kind of shocked at how well it blended :O Even though I didn't get that same effect like I've seen on other girls with natural brown eyes, I still really like these! :) If I can find some that cover more I actually really want to try them!

    It... was surprisingly stressful LOL! But overall it was nice just to get away from work! Thanks doll <333

    ANYWAY! I do have a review of the pink ones ^^  http://lapindelune.blogspot.com/2012/05/eos-candy-pink-lenses.html

    I've worn them the last couple looks I've done, the whole Candy/Jewel series is so gorg, even the other colors I don't have! Someday I think I'm gonna buy them all lol.
