★ KIWIBERRY1-COLLECTION / GEO NUDY GREY (Review)★

Okay, so I'd ordered from Kiwiberry some time ago, and they finally arrived! God, I was so happy! I'd also ordered the same pair plus Princess Mimi's again from i-beautyshop, so I had three packages in one day of circle lenses. I got this pair on sale for $10 plus $7 shipping. They have many other great promotions, and if you buy and put up a review, you get 15% off your next purchase! Cool, right? It took a while for them to come in, but at the price that I got them, it was all worth it.

SO, review for these. Note continuously, the Princess Mimi's were my first pair, so my judgement is different from stepping down a size. Let's get reviewin'!






THE SHOP: 9/10
Kiwiberry has a large selection, but doesn't have certain brands as others do, but this rating would go for any other store, because I have yet to see anyone with EVERY brand and decent pricing. Ah, the pricing as well. I got these 50% off, which was absolutely wonderful. And if you submit a review, you get 15% off your next purchase, which is doubley good. Off sale, the lenses are $20 plus shipping, which would be about $27 total. That's a big number compared to what I've bought before, but keep in mind, other stores charge just as much.

When it shipped, it came in a bubble envelope, plus the bottles were wrapped in more bubble wrap. I love that kind of security and TLC! The lenses also came with a free lens case, no extra shipping (as far as I know) charged! They ship from Canada, so it took a LONG ASS TIME for them to get here, but IDGAF, they put their best effort at the shop. Since these were the first pair I ordered ever in my life, I was impatient because I didn't know how long this type of thing would take, and stuff I order from Kowloon takes about four days. Whatever, they're here and they;re wonderful!


COMFORT: 10/10
I'd worn these for a day also, over five hours, like school is. They're 14mm so they're incredibly comfortable. I, personally, didn't feel any dryness, but it differs with each wearer.

APPEARANCE: 8/10
These are a very natural type of lens, and are not obvious to see unless you're in very bright lighting or under camera flash. What you can see, however, is a subtle color that gives off a very seductive and graceful look, rather than a doll-type appearance. The halo effect that these lenses are famous for is hard to make visible, as you must be looking in a direction that isn't straight ahead of you. I think a better environment for these would be either in school, since you're sitting and looking up at the teacher, or outdoors, perhaps a lively day out on the town.

These are 14mm, so the enlargement is not as powerful as other lenses, but it is noticeable. Since they don't have a heavy ring on the outer edge, the enlargement looks more natural than anything else to me; it makes my eyes look large, not bug-like.

★ GEO BAMBI / PRINCESS MIMI APPLE GREEN (Review)★

I got my first pair of circle lenses! I was scared to get them at first, because all the photos made everyone's eyes look super huge, and I thought I'd have my whole white space taken up. BUT NO, they are wonderful and very comfy. I got the Princess Mimi Apple Green's by GEO. They were $20 plus free shipping from I-BEAUTYSHOP.NET

I'd originally bought some Geo Nudy's, like, three weeks ago, and they haven't arrived yet. They were the first pair I'd ever bought, but these were the first pair to come in. I think it's good that I started out with a bigger diameter, that way the 14mm will seem like nothing at all by alot.




Let's start with a little, unprofessional review:

THE SHOP: 10/10
They shipped in three days, came with a free case, and the shipping was FREE. Plus, I bought them for $20, as I'd already mentioned. The amount in the store is huge, but they don't have certain items, like the GrangGrang or the NEO COSMO brand, but that's okay, they kept up with the Bambi series well enough and it's new.

COMFORT: 9/10
I didn't feel these at all when I wore them at first, and I had them in for a bit over seven hours. Towards the end of those seven hours, I could feel the contact getting dry, I suppose? I could really tell it was there, but it didn't bother me.

APPEARANCE: 8/10
These are very unnatural, but that's not why I gave them 8/10. They show up best in very bright lighting and flash photography, but not as well in more common areas where people would notice, like school or work. It took a lot of people to realize that I was wearing them unless I either pointed it out or I looked up into a light. When you see them, however, you fall in love!
