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!!!

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.

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...

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!
