Okayyy, so I'm finally catching up on my lens reviews. : D I now have just two pairs left to review. (I'll have to remember to not procrastinate next time...) Anyway, the lenses in this review were kindly sponsored by Kiwiberry1's Collection. And I have no qualms about saying that Kiwiberry is absolutely one of my favourite shops out there-- whether I'm buying lenses or having them sponsored. Amazing customer service, amazing variety, and the shipping's pretty good coming from Canada to the US. <3 Uh.... now for the review!

Enlargement: 7/10 As I mentioned, these are fairly enlarging: the black circle gives these an 'oomph' compared to the old Adult series, which has a light, super-subtle lavender ring
Colour/Design: 7.5/10 Alright-y then~~. So for starters, I kinda' really wanted these for two reasons: 1.) because in the very few pics I've seen on these in reviews, the brown looked light and very pretty, and 2.) because I do have the original Adult (E-203) Brown (which are my favourite brown lenses ever) and want to compare it to the redesigned version (J-203 Brown). Suffice to say, yes, these lenses' colour is rather light and fairly visible in most lightings. And compared to the 'old' Adult Brown, these are a more golden/yellow brown, more enlarging, and just overall more dolly.
(flash)
- EOS Adult (E-203) Brown vs. EOS new Adult (J-203) Brown -
Comfort: 10/10 EOS lenses = wonderful candyland gumdrops of comfort for my eyes. : D
(The contrast is... 'off' to say the least. Haha.)
In conclusion, I like these lenses. I may very well grow to love them once my original Adult Brown expire. :33 But for now, I prefer my old Adult Brown: they perfectly straddle the line between noticeable and natural for me. (These new ones jump headlong into 'noticeable', but are still somewhat natural.) I love these lenses, but I'm not yet in love with these lenses. ;P ((And on a weird note, my mother pointed out to me that they turn out almost the exact same shade as my skin colour in any given picture. Haha.))

P.S. Cor-- YouTube always seems to pick the most awkward video preview pics for me. D: Yikes...
I'm glad I held off on buying these until I read your review! They look a lot lighter than I expected them to, I was expecting a much much lighter "honey" shade. I recently bought some DollyEye browns so i'll wait to see how those pan out first. I think these look super cute and dolly on you. If I didn't know you were wearing lenses i'd have to do a double take!
ReplyDeleteI love these on you. They're quite bright but still look natural.
ReplyDeleteI've been going through all your lens reviews because I want to try enlargement lenses myself, even though I already have big eyes lol.
Love your blog xx
Avalon- Thank you! And yeah, I was kinda' expecting a lighter colour, too. Haha. Like a pastel gold-brown. (Maybe similar to the light honey you were imagining...) Either way, yeah: very dolly.
ReplyDeleteNaomi- Haha- do as you must. Browse to your heart's content. (Just be warned that as calendar dates go backward, so does my photogenicity. Haha.) Thank you muchly for the kind comment: I'm rather enamoured with your blog, myself. <3
Ooh, these are really natural and pretty!
ReplyDeleteGotta agree though, EOS is the most comfortable brand by far.
All i have to say is that i'm leaning towards these as one of my new lenses.. >__< thanks for the review.
ReplyDeletegreat review! I've never actually tried any of the adult series lens.. actually I take that back I have the newer green adults but I haven't open them yet >_< p.s. your hair is getting so long!!! I love it!
ReplyDeletehow pretty! these are a huge improvement from the old adult series.
ReplyDeleteI'd buy the new adults but they're not huge and googly enough for me hahaha xD
Re: OMG!!! ahhh! really?? do you know where they sell the bigger g307's? and do they come in prescription? I must must must have them!
ReplyDelete<3
I have these and they are okay to where when I don't want to be over the top. They're very light and yellow, which I like.
