Review: Seeshell (Kilala) Popcorn Blue

Hola~! So these lenses were very kindly sponsored by EyeCandy Lens. (Free shipping, y'all! <3)  They're also known as the Kilala Popcorn Blue. :3

(Why does my skin seem paler than usual? Hm...)

Enlargement: 7/10  These lenses are 14.5 mm, but do not enlarge very much at all. <3

Colour/Design: 8.5/10  (The Popcorn series is the 2tone version of the Seeshell Cat Eyes/Miss C Eye series, which is 3-tone.)  Alright, so here is what one advert pic for this lens looks like. Bright, right? :D  Well, the lens itself is actually pretty bright in real life, it seems. As usual, they don't match the advertisements, but they are closer than I would have guessed. In most lightings, they turn out a lighter, sky-ish blue. Especially in photos.  They can look dark in some medium lighting, though.

- (Seeshell) Dolly Eye Cat Eye Grey vs. Seeshell Popcorn Blue-

Comfort: 8.5/10  Seeshell lenses are generally comfy for me, but dry out somewhat quickly.

(Why yes: I did choose an unflattering angle)

Overall, I really like these lenses. I found love at first sight, and although they are not as bright a blue as I'd prefer, they're still gorgeous. Haha. (They actually remind me of another light blue lens I really liked, the Geo Nudy Golden Blue.)

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

Review: Dolly Eye Cat Eyes Smoky Pearl Grey (aka. Miss C Eye Grey)

Well hello there. :]  Today's lenses were kindly sponsored by EyeCandy Lens. (Thank you, muchly~!)  Anyway, these lenses are from Seeshell, and have two well-known names: the Miss C Eye Grey, and the Dolly Eye Cat Eyes Smoky Pearl Grey.  (They are under the 'Cat Eyes' name on EyeCandy Lens.)

Enlargement: 8.5/10  These are 14.5 mm, but are made to look more natural, so the enlargement isn't very extreme.

Colour/Design:  8.5/10  Hrm.... as I say in the video review, the colour is difficult to describe.  At the simplest, I would call them a medium grey.  They don't look very dark, and they don't look very light.... in most lightings.  You'll see that in some pics taken in natural/strong lighting, that the colour looks close to light-- especially if I get a little halo effect at the edge of the lens.  However, in other lightings, they look like a dark-ish grey, but are still super visible. (Maybe it's that 3rd, gold-brown tone in the center that makes them light-looking?)  The broken up, thin dark circle seem to make the lens more realistic. (As does that 3rd tone in the middle.)

Comfort: 9/10  I've had one lens from Seeshell in the past, and they were comfy.  These are much the same.  I have to mention, though, that the very first day I wore these, they got dry very quickly, for some reason. (Usually, my lens-accustomed eyes don't really get dry.)  I gave them a few days and a good soak, and since then they've been nothing but very comfy. <33  I don't know if it was the weather that day, or maybe my eyes acting up, but I guess that was a fluke.

 (What is that face I am making? o.o)

(See what I mean about them looking grey in any lighting?)

Alright, so overall, these lenses turned out almost exactly as I thought they would: they are neither very light nor very dark. What is a pleasant surprise is how well the colour still shows up in low lighting. I'm not sure how it works, but it's pretty cool. Haha. I've also received quite a few compliments on these, so that's another plus. C;  I wouldn't mind these being a bit lighter--what lenses wouldn't I like to be lighter, though? Still, they're somehow very appealing to me at this colour.

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

Review: Geo Xtra "Bambi"/Princess Mimi Sesame Grey

Quite a few bloggers have reviewed lenses from the Geo Xtra Bambi series (aka. the Geo Princess Mimi series), so I don't think I need to tell you how these lenses came to be popular. (Angel Color + Tsubasa + pretty lenses = EVERYBODY WANTS A PAIR.)  What I can tell you is that I bought these lenses from EyeCandy Lens (which now has free shipping, actually), and they got to me pretty damn quickly. <3  And now... on to the actual review.

*

Enlargement: 10/10  These are 15 mm. (On Angel Color, where the original Bambi series was released and distributed, they are 14.2 mm. This 'Xtra' series version from Geo (advert) is 15 mm.) They are big.

Colour/Design: 7/10 Hum... you may or may not remember the joyful hysteria many experienced when first gazing upon the Bambi series. I definitely do, and it never really left me until I got these lenses. Haha.  As you may know from the many advert pics of this series, the colours usually look light. I guessed that, as Geo lenses, they'd be a medium or dark grey, much like the Geo Angel Grey. I was mostly correct: they're a medium grey. I.... do not like darker colours. :/ Despite that, the design is still gorgeous, and the lenses
so long-coveted that I don't care quite as much as I should. Heh heh.  However, once I can get my hands on the true original Bambi series, I'll likely be truly content. 8)

(low light) & (high contrast + brightness)

Comfort: 9.5/10 Um... I think one lens is defective (i.e. hurts no matter what I do to try and clean it), but sticking to the good lens, these might actually be the comfiest Geo lenses I can remember ever wearing.

Overall, I've pretty much said my piece: the colour's darker than I would have liked (although it was super obvious that the modeled pics on Angel Color were high contrast & brightness), and they're also a bit bigger than I like. (14 mm is my faaavourite lens size). Despite that, though, I can't help but to still love them. <3 On another note, these are the very first lenses that I actually feel make my entire eye look larger just by wearing them. O:

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