Bonjour, mes amis! :) Aujourd'hui, je v- alright, alright. I'll continue en anglais. I just thought I'd sneak in a bit of practice with French grammar. Clearly, I am not very sneaky. Now, ON TO THE REVIEW~~~!
*
These lenses were kindly sponsored by LoveShoppingholics. (And ohhh my gosh: they have amazing customer service. <3) These Neo Sunflower (Edge) Violet came along with my Neo Dali Extra Blue, so I'm living in Neo lens heaven at this point. Haha.
(Don't laugh at me too hard, please. I'm 'experimenting' with makeup~)
Enlargement: 7/10 At 14.2 mm, this lens doesn't offer much enlargement. (Which I prefer in a lens. <3)
Colour/Design: 6.5/10 Okay, so colour-wise, these are definitely a blue-violet. And usually, I'm not too fond of those, but this particular shade is somehow appealing. (In fact, for some odd reason, I prefer this hue darker.) Still, that doesn't mean I like dark colours. (Even ones that show up as vibrant and pretty during daylight, like this.)

- Neo Dali Extra Blue vs. Neo Sunflower (Edge) Violet -
Comfort: 20/10 Neo is, like, twice as comfy for EOS to me-- which is pretty damned comfy, itself. Haha
Overall, this is a lens I can say I genuinely like in design and colour. (Hence my being excited to try the Sunflower Blue, next.) The only issue is that I am rather picky when it comes to lens colour. Especially when it comes to violet, which is one of my favourite colours. I really do feel awful that I can't bring myself to love the Sunflower Violets. :/ Meh.... c'est la vie, I suppose...

As much as I love the Sunflower Series, but violet is a total disappointment imo, the others are so vibrant, I thought the colour was more outstanding!
ReplyDeleteWow! Those look so good on you :) I love the pattern, looks really natural.
ReplyDeleteI really wanna see you with the blue ones now!
O: I kind of like how the shade looks. I mean, I'd probably want to go for something vibrant that POPS, too, but for purple, the slight blue tint to it makes it look practically natural, I think.
ReplyDeleteCan't want to see how the sunflower blue ones look. X3
While I definitely think the color compliments your overall skintone, there's something about the sunflower series I just don't like. Probably the lack of coverage.
ReplyDeleteP.S.
I like your makeup
Oh my god.. This was the exact pair I wanted like so many years ago! But it was kinda pricey so I didn't get it =/ Now come to think of it.. I don't like it that much anymore lol!
ReplyDeletewow they look really pretty!
ReplyDeletethanks for the review ^^
I actually really like these lens on you! And you have makeup on :) It suits you really well, I can totally see you pulling of the rocker look ;)
ReplyDeletethese are really cute! I have yet to buy a purple lens :O They should make huge ones of those :) haha
ReplyDeleteryn: OMG the 14.2 bambi lenses would probably like, shrink the size of my eyeball hahaha! I hate when lenses lie about the diameter though. They're like, "17 mm lens!!" and you get them and they're actually some dinky little 14.5 lens. booo. Just a pet peeve of mine lol.
