EOS Flower Green Review: the Redux


Hello! So a very small number of you who have A.) gone back through my old posts, or B.) have been following me for that long, will remember that yes, I have already reviewed the EOS Flower Green.  (Over a year ago, I believe.)

However, when I was recently sponsored a pair by the lovely shop, Fobby Barbie (♥ three days for shipping ♥), I was put in the unique position of being able to try a lens a second time, with a year of new lens experiences to possibly change my opinion.  Read on to see what-- if anything- has changed~.



Enlargement: 7/10  This series is often listed as being 14.8 mm. (I'm pretty sure it's 14.2, though. Haha.) In any case, the enlargement effect is closer to a lens of a 14.5 mm DIA.


Colour/Design: 6.5/10  This shade of green is easiest described as a true green.  That is, it reminds me of a less neon-bright version of Crayola Green. I very much like the colour itself, but I am not so fond of the lack of coverage.  These lenses look like a very thin ring of green on my eyes. (Mind you, it is an elegant, petal-patterned ring of green, but I feel that it is hardly visible. :/ )



(flash)

- EOS Flower Green vs. EOS Dollyeye Green -

Comfort: 10/10  Comfort-wise. these are on par with all my other super-comfy EOS lenses~.



Sadly, I don't like these lenses any more than I did a year ago.  In fact, with all the great green lenses I have bought since I first had these, my opinion of the Flower Green may have even went slightly further downhill. >.>'  Oops. What's weird is that I still believe the EOS Flower series has one of the prettiest designs out of any circle lenses I've ever seen. They just don't have the sort of coverage (or colour) I favour.

And here are the extra pics, as usual: One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, and Seven.

  5. Awww I think these look so pretty on you! I would never ever purchase a lens like this for myself, but you're definitely tempting me! DAMN YOUR PHOTOGENIC-NESS! But I know how much you love vibrant lenses, so I totally understand your disappointment with these.

    I personally prefer more natural lenses, so I'm really not sure why I got the Apple Greens either LOL. I think it was because they're green I felt they'd look better on me. I wear them a lot in pictures, but they're a little too much for everyday use yet XD I really, really wish I got either Chocolate or Sesame Grey now! I think it was also my misunderstanding that more girls had the latter two that I got Apple Greens, but I guess all of them are pretty popular anyway. GOD DAMNIT, I wish I jumped on the pre-order train with Fobby Barbie! Damn my not wanting to wait for things... even though now I have to wait even longer since I didn't bother putting in an order in the first place LOL.

    Oh shiet, I forgot to post on your last entry! Sorry <33 Guh, I'm so jealous how you can pull off lenses with very little to no makeup!! I look straight up crazy o.o
