Review: Dueba Tiny Puffy 2 Tone Green Lenses

Allow me to introduce you to my new favorite line of circle lenses: the Dueba Tiny Puffy series. This is the green color:


As usual, I purchased these from solution-lens.com, and as usual, I received friendly, prompt customer service, great prices, and beautifully, carefully packaged lenses, as well as an adorable little gift!

So... onto the review?

color:

Why yes, it is rather aqua/turquoise looking! This color happens to be my favorite of all my lenses, despite not being what I expected at all. Having seen such lovely pictures of people wearing the Dueba Puffy (shinny 3 tone) lenses in green, I expected their 2 tone counterparts to look the same, but without the starburst. Light-colored starbursts are designed to blend, but they only blend with light colored eyes. On me, it looks like my pupil is extending out into 3D, like a lizard or a fish.

So yeah, that's why I opted for the 2 tone version. The picture on solution-lens is a bit misleading. It shows a forest green lens, which is clearly just the same picture as the 3 tone Puffy, but with the yellow center photoshopped out:







In real life, the lens looks like this:




On me, it looks even turquoisier (<=my patent pending word)






You can't say that's not a completely different shade of green. Oh well. In any case, I've really been wanting an aqua/turquoise lens, but there aren't a lot of good ones out there. Too many are crazy, unnatural designs. I like crazy colors, but not crazy designs. So, this ended up being the perfectest lens for me. I'm reeeeeeally tempted to give it a full 10/10 for color, but I cannot do that in good conscience, because it was misleading. Lovely as it is.

color: 7/10

*edit: 
screw it if it's deceptive- this color is wayyy prettier than anything I could have expected. It's not what it looked like on the website, so I'm giving it an 13/10.


design:

The Puffy design is always lovely. The pixellation is barely visible, it gives enough coverage to actually change my eye color, but blends well enough to look perfectly natural. I also love that there is no black on the colored part of the lens, as this mutes the color. I think if the lens was just a little bit more pigmented, the color would show up more vibrant while still looking natural. As it is, it's pretty subtle

design: 8/10

comfort:

No problems to report, as is typically the case with Dueba lenses. I've worn them for more than 6 hours on several occasions. I just bring my eyedrops if its gonna be more than 6 hours.

comfort: 10/10



enlargment:

This really isn't a very important factor for me. Dueba lenses seem have a larger gap between the edge of the lens circumference and the start of the pigmentation. So a 14.5mm lens might be huge in Geo, but its pretty much natural sized in Dueba. If you want to look like a barbie, you should move right along, this lens is probably not for you.


enlargment: 6/10

overall:

I couldn't be happier with these lenses! Everything from the color, the design, how it blends with my eyes. They look so much better than I expected!  I am told I look very exotic with these. I will definitely be trying the other colors. Next on my list: violet, gray, then brown. Not sure how I feel about the pink ones.. Also, I need to find out if its possible to get the blue in this series.

overall: 10/10

Review: Dueba Barbie Aloha Violet

So these are my super-dramatic, extremely opaque Dueba Barbie Aloha Violet lenses! I love them so :)


I purchased these, as usual, from www.solution-lens.com. This site is always helpful, and they have a great selection and great prices. Highly recommended. Here is the link to the lens description:



I was a little bit wary of ordering another violet lens after my Geo Nudy Violet ones were such a disappointing color. But the description said these Aloha lenses woul be noticeable, and boy were they right! This is what they look like compared to my nudies:
left eye Dueba Aloha, right eye Geo Nudy

Now, onto the review!!

color:

Yes, they do show a very noticeable color! Both with flash and without. Plus, the color is the lovely lavender violet I have been searching for all my life. I have a very cool complexion, and these lenses are very cool-toned, so they work great. Very happy with the color!

color: 10/10













design:

don't mind me, I was having a weird looking day...
The design of the Alohas is very dramatic. Thick black limbal ring, and a very opaque colored center. If you look closely at colored part, it kind of looks like mesh fabric. It doesn't have the little uncolored spaces that most other lenses have, which allows your natural color to peek through and blend. This is good, because it allows for a more noticeable color, but the lens isn't translucent at all, so it definitely doesn't look natural. I wear this lens out at night for a sexy, dramatic look, but it certainly is not an every day lens.

design: 8/10

comfort: 

No problems here- Duebas never really cause me discomfort though. Even for such an opaque lens, these feel very breathable.

comfort: 10/10

enlargment:

These lenses are 14.5mm. With the help of the dark limbal ring, they are definitely enlarging. 14.5 is the largest I am willing to go. Otherwise, the lenses look alien.

left eye with lens, right eye with no lens

enlargment: 10/10








Overall:

I love these! The only problem I have with these lenses is that they do not look even remotely natural during the day. But they look gorgeous with some dark makeup for a night on the town, and the color just blows me away. So overall, I am very very pleased with my Dueba Barbie Alohas.

no makeup, no flash

overall: 9/10

Review: Dueba Barbie Tony Brown

So I have done the review on the lovely Dueba Barbie Tony Grays. Now here is the review of their brown counterpart, which I am falling more and more in love with every day!
So I have been on a search for the perfect contact lenses: ones that look natural both up close and from a distance, with a color payoff that can be seen in natural and dim light as well as flash photography and sunlight.

Well I have to say, these are damn near perfect!














color:



These lenses are kind of a golden honey-brown. They can look hazel-ish in some lighting as well. Off the eye, they are basically light orange. I love that these lenses have a nice warm look. I think this goes a lot better with my style than the gray tonies. The color isn't such a shocking change from brown eyes. This is a color you can wear anywhere.




color: 10/10







design:

As you may have read from my review on the Dueba Barbie Tony grays, the design on these lenses is brilliant!!!!! If I could own every color, I would. This design is perfect, because it is pigmented enough to show color on the darkest of eyes, but still sheer enough that your eyes look natural and translucent. It fades into the pupil so that it does not give the "fishy eye" look,  and the pixellation is so fine it can barely be seen by the naked eye. My one and only point of ever-so-slight (barely even acknowledgable) discontentment is that I sometimes wish it had more of/a darker limbal ring. But this is really the most beautiful, vibrant, natural design I have ever tried.

design: 10/10


comfort:

Duebas are always comfortable for me. This series in particular seems to melt onto my eyeballs the second I put them in. I find myself having to check to make sure they are still in because I cannot feel them. Awesome :)

comfort: 10/10
