Review : LensVillage's Barbie Luna Brown Circle Lenses

It's been such a long time since I last updated. So many things have been happening in my life that I needed to prioritize first. Most of which concerns my personal health BUT I'm saving that for another lengthy update post. Today I'll be talking about something that got me really excited when I first received it. A few months ago I was invited to become a LensVillage ambassador and was so lucky to receive this wonderful pair of circle lenses. It's been such a long time since I last reviewed a pair so this got me really pumped up!

What : Barbie Luna Brown Lens Where : LensVillage Price : $23 (This pair was sent to me for review purposes.)
Diameter : 15.0mm Effect Diameter : 16.2mm Base Curve : 8.60mm Water Content : 38% Life Span : 6-12 months

What I Like : Color & Design - I'm very partial to brown lenses because I think its the color that flatters me the most. This particular pair comes in a three tone pattern that blends well into my dark eyes but still gives off the appearance that I'm wearing circle lenses. I also love the fact that it doesn't have such a harsh outer ring like most circle lenses. At least I don't look like an alien lizard with these on. Enlargement - At 15.00mm this is a rather large pair for my liking but it doesn't look overly huge on my eyes. I'm pleased at how it gives off just a "subtle" but noticeable doll-like quality to my eyes. Big enough to get noticed at first glance! Comfort - I wore this pair for 4-5 hours without any problems. They are lightweight and easy to handle. It's definitely an easy pair for first time users to try out.
What I Don't Like : Not available locally. Luckily LensVillage carries this design and a whole lot more!

Review : Barbie Puffy 3 Tone Brown (UNIQSO!)

Yesterday I posted my first impressions on the pair of lenses generously sent to me by Uniqso.  It's been a long time since I last reviewed lenses or even wore lenses so I was pretty excited about this pair. First new pair for 2013! Definitely a pretty pair of Big Eye Circle Lenses!!! 

What : Barbie Puffy 3 Tone ( Barbie used to be labeled Deuba ) Shade : Brown Diameter : 16.5mm Base Curve : 8.6 Water Content : 38% Life Span : 6-12months Origin : Korea Price : $7.90/per lens (not per pair) Love : * Color & Design. I've gone through a lot of brown lenses and this is by far my favorite one! It even beats my trusty pair of Geo Angel Brown ones because of its unique color & design. In the vial & lens case it looks like a mix between a muted red, chestnut, brown & black. When worn it turns into a lovely hazel color against my dark brown eyes. The unique tri-color design also helps this pair blend quite nicely on my eyes without it disappearing completely. Plus this particular pair doesn't make me look "reptilian" in any way. * Enlarging. Being 16.5mm, this particular pair doesn't look overly huge on my eyes. I have "medium" sized eyes (as friends have said) so maybe that compensates for the size of the lens. Anyway, this is my first 16.5mm diamete lens and I'm pleased at how it gives off just a "subtle" but noticeable doll-like quality to my eyes. * Comfortable! Of all the lenses I have tried and owned, these are by far the most comfortable pair ever. I was slightly worried of its low water content but I wore this pair for up to 6 hours without feeling any dryness and that's a big deal for me since I usually get dry eyes on the 4th hour of wear. They are also thin (in a good durable way) thus it doesn't even feel like I'm wearing lenses! Hate : *Not locally available. All in all I had a great experience with Uniqso! Great packaging, great communication between me and the staff, very easy to use their site, plus very gorgeous pairs of lenses in different styles & colors readily available for shipping! Now what else could I look for?

First Impressions : Barbie Puffy 3 Tone Brown (Uniqso!)

Last year I was lucky enough to be sponsored by Uniqso. Miss Lee-Lee & I have been corresponding via email and she introduced me to their new circle lens line called the Barbie Puffy 3 Tone. The brand Barbie used to be called Deuba. Honestly, I think I like that they changed their brand name to Barbie, sounds more "kawaii" to me! After choosing the color (either gray or brown), Miss Lee Lee informed me that they had shipped me the lenses. That was last November 26, 2012. Want to know when I received my lenses? I received them a few days ago, on the 15th of January! Talk about holiday delays! Christmas time is one of the "worst" time to send international packages since it takes an extra long time for them to get delivered. *lol* But it was all worth the wait! I've already mentioned in previous posts that "the little things" count a lot to me and Uniqso didn't disappoint. My lenses came in a bubble wrap padded package, inside this really cute box that had a teddy bear design. They also sent over a cute Christmas themed card! As you can see, my lenses were also wrapped in bubble wrap inside the tiny box to ensure its safety. Another thumbs up to Uniqso! They also sent me a free lens case with transparent blue top covers. Isn't it cute? Now moving on to the actual lens vials... The usual information is printed on the label. This particular lens has a 16.5mm diameter and a base curve of 8.60 ... 
Isn't it pretty? Look are the tri-color design of the lens. I'm betting this will blend (but stand out) on my dark brown eyes. I'm really excited to try this out... Watch out for my full review on this lovely pair on my upcoming posts!
Head on over to Uniqso to purchase your own pair...
