Review: EOS M-207 Brown (Charming Brown)

Okay-- I think I've got it down: I'll make a post every day or every other day, but I'll never have more than one circle lens review in a row. That way, you all won't get too tired of looking at my face. Haha. 

--

Anyway, today I'll be reviewing one of my few brown lenses: my EOS M-207 Brown lenses, which I bought in De Moi, Pour Vous' last EOS pre-order along with two other lenses.  Enjoyy~

*

Enlargement: 9/10 - I'm inclined to say that this is as big as I can wear lenses without them making me look like an alien (they're 14.2 mm), but have been assured by others that none of my 14.5 mm lenses do either. These lenses give quite a bit of enlargement without overwhelming eyes.

Colour/Design: 9/10 I got these lenses after seeing Ginger's pair of mystery brown lenses that shone gold under flash. These contacts look similar design-wise, so I am sated. cool They're also very natural looking, but give my eyes a pop all the same. (I rather wish they came in toric...) Oh- and they give me a halo effect. A proper one! Awesome.

Comfort: 10/10 As I always say, EOS is the comfiest brand I own right ahead of G&G.

Overall: These are my favourite brown circle lenses that I've ever had. They're waayyy more natural than my Geo Angels ever were, and definitely more natural than my Dollyeye Browns (which are more gold than anything). At their size,14.2 mm, they're also very believable. They almost seem to have a green or gold tint to them, too, which I like. These EOS lenses, I kept. The Flower Green I got in the same order, I gave to a friend after I did the review. Still, two out of three lenses chosen on a whim is a pretty good outcome in my book. ;]

Unfortunately, EOS recently cut production of all their M series lenses. These are no longer being made. So if you want a pair, you'll have to find it in stock somewhere, I'm afraid.

Let's Talk Headphones!

Ah-- surprised I'm not doing a circle lens review, eh? Well... you should be: I have plenty more to post. Haha.  Anyway, I figured I should make a post regarding one of my favourite accessories: headphones. (I don't wear earbuds because they give me headaches-- likely a side-product of my teeny tiny 'lizard ears', as I call 'em... cuz, y'know, lizards' ears are essentially leetle bitty holes in the side of their head. Haha)

Back on topic, yes, I consider headphones accessories. Reason? I buy them for how they look, not necessarily how they sound. I'm no audiophile, but I am a fashion-fiend, so unless headphones have needles embedded in the earphones, I'll choose a cuter pair of a more 'efficient' pair, typically. Still... I pick brands that aren't all too terrible. Haha.  Here's a short headphone history of my 'Fashion Headphones':
*

My First Pair 

Brand: Swimmer

I loved these and they actually sounded pretty good, awesomely enough- it was a good $34 bucks I spent. Unfortunately, they met an untimely, senseless, and rage-inducing end when MY FATHER PUT THEM OUT IN THE RUBBISH. Auughh. I think I may've literally teared up. And since Swimmer makes each headphone design once only, for a few months (four new designs each season), buying them now, would cost me about 80 bucks. -_-' Nothing further. RIP Pink Rose Swimmer headphones.

*

My Most Recent Pair(s)

Brand: (Imitation) Mix-Style

These headphones (and the ones beneath) are the first headphones I've bought since my Swimmers came to a tragic end some time ago.  These imitation Mix-Style headphones were $16 shipped, and they're pretty darn comfortable. It's actually pretty difficult to tell the 'fakes' from the authentic Mix-Styles. The boxes/packaging is the same, and the printing/design is the same. However, the Mix-Styles have a smooth ear-shell, while the imitations have a ridged appearance. Mix-Styles also have a different jack cord, the word 'Mix-Style' printed on the band's inside, and have a finer sound quality in the treble range.

But like I said: visual aesthetics over audial~.

*

Brand: Dicsong

These I just got today and am rather in love with. These Charming Pinks ('model' name) were-- what- like, 9 bucks shipped? Nngh. So good~. I haven't really had a chance to listen to anything with them yet, but I plugged them into my laptop for a minute earlier and they sound pretty good, actually. Better than my imitation Mix-Styles (unsurprisingly). Haha.

*

In the future, I'd like a few more pairs: perhaps I will rebuy my Swimmer headphones or maybe even another pair of Swimmers. 

...or Zumreed headphones. o:

And finally, the headphones I know I'll end up getting: another pair of imitation Mix-Styles. xD The one thing I really wanted was a pair of pink Mix-Styles, but with a white star, not a black one. To my knowledge, the actual company doesn't make those, so... fakes it is! (Cruddy) Pic belowww~.

Review: Beaucon Jewel Pink

My first pair of pink lenses. <3 They're pretty damn awesome, too. Haha.  As for where they're from, I bought the original pair from Honey Color, but ripped one, and bought the replacement from Woofylens. Review tiimmee!

* 

Enlargement: 8.5/10 These're only 14.0 mm lenses, but they are enlarging all the same, what with the thick black ring about the colour.

Colour/Design: 9.5/10 They're pink circle lenses-- how could I be disappointed? ;P Anyway, the pattern is very cute, and the pink, absolutely adorable. They're a subtle pink, as I've been told. Opaque but not necessarily fake-looking.

(flash)

Comfort: 9/10 These lenses are heavenly, comfort-wise. I'm not sure they beat out my EOS or G&Gs, but they're comfier than my Geo lenses have been.

(Somehow, there's always an old pic in every review...)

Overall: These lenses are lovely and I wear them quite a bit. :]] They are, as I said, simply adorable, and yet fairly natural. The pink is gorgeous and 'mature', in a way. So far, quite a few people have liked them, too. o: I'm thinking of getting the 14.5 mm version of these 14 mm lenses, the EOS G-208/Max Jewel Pink, someday in the near future

Review: G&G GBT Violet

This is my review for 2nd pair of violet G&G lenses: the GBT Violets. (Also known as BT or BT 2color Violet). These are from SecretEyes Shoppe. More old pics just for youu~. Can't wait til I hit recent reviews...

*

Enlargement: 8.5/10 Since the circle isn't a darker colour, ie. black, these lenses don't seem as enlarging as other lenses of the same size. Still, as evidenced by the picture below, they do provide a nice bit of enlargement. C:

Colour/Design: 8/10 I like the design, but I was hoping it'd be more or a vibrant, piercing violet, like my BT02 Vi's, but these lenses are more of a cloudy or even pastel purple. (Which is nice, but not quite what I was looking for.) Still, like I said- a very cool design that a few coworkers weren't sure was a contact lens or not.

Comfort: 9/10 Like my other two pairs of G&G lenses, these are absolutely dreamy. <33 I could wear these for hours without any discomfort. C: In fact, I did-- I wore them for 8 hours earlier at my job.

Overall: I'm completely happy that I went ahead and got these lenses, despite there only being two or three other reference pics of them out there. They're a very pretty violet, exceedingly comfortable, and they still manage to make my eyes look bigger.

You can avoid the reading bit and just watch the more recent video review here (or below), though. 

Review: G&G BT02 Violet

Well these're my favourite pair of violet lenses I've ever owned (and that's saying something, since I've had some 4 pairs of violet lenses~.) I got them from Pinky Paradise, one of my favourite stores, almost a year ago, I believe. Almost time to toss 'em!  So, enjoy these old-ish pictures! ;o

*

Enlargement: 9/10 They were more enlarging than I'd imagined, actually. Although they're the same size as Geo Angels.

Colour/Design: 10/10 I love the BT02 series (actually, I just love G&G in general). This design is just so cool! People've come right up to me to peer into my eyes out of nowhere just to assure themselves that I'm not a vampire or something (true story). And the purple's so vibrant  as well. It doesn't just 'fade into grey' or anything like that. It pops.

Comfort: 9/10 It's the first pair of lenses I was able to forget I was wearing, as they are so comfortable. They also pass the timeless 'Oops, I've worn these for too long' test that eventually is faced by most circle lens wearers.

Ah... a recent pic. <3

Overall: I'm glad I got these lenses. I believe they were one of my first pairs of lenses, and my first and favourite pair of violet lenses. When these expire soon, I'll likely replace them with a new pair~.

Review: G&G BT02 Sky Blue

This is quite the fun blogsite, what with the tool-packed Rich Text Editor. Thanks to Pinky Paradise!. So without further ado, my review for my G&G BT02 Sky Blues.
*

Enlargement: 8.5/10 They have the same enlargement as my BT02 Violets, which is enough to make me happy. Haha.

Colour/Design: 7.5/10 Eh. I really like the design/pattern of this series, but this blue isn't quite as vibrant as I'd have liked. (I bought these in the stead of a pair of Bescon Tutti Blue, so my expectations were high, I suppose. xD) Still, like every colour in the BT02 series, these're ridiculously bright/opaque. :] I just... prefer the violets (which I also got from Pinky Paradise).

Comfort: 9/10 Just like their violet counterparts, the Sky Blues are infinitely comfortable. C: I can wear these all day. You can get this Circle Lense and many other ones in stock at Pinky Paradise. ;o

*

On the service: I've bought from PP quite a few times now (not only from their website, but also from their shop page on AFanatics). Each time, I get my lenses in a relatively short period of time, and in very safely arranged packaging.- I've yet to see a damaged/broken vial. There's also the adorable free lens case with a little Mickey Mouse on it, which I adore.

Overall, apart from the obligatory store review fluff, I'd truly recommend buying from Pinky Paradise-- I do so a lot, actually. ;]

P.S. Enjoy my old haircut and such! These pics are from quite a bit ago. >.>'
P.P.S. Be sure to mention that
