Review: Geo Crystal WI-A12 Aqua Blue Circle Lens

These are my Geo Crystal WI-A12 lenses that I bought from solution-lens.com. I actually got these for free because I bought two pairs, so that is a really good deal.




As for the lenses.... yeah, I'm not really sure what I was thinking when I picked these. I mean... I knew full well that Geo lenses tend to be bigger (due to a larger portion of the lens being colored) and that 15mm is huge to begin with. And this blue.. is so... aqua. It's a pretty shade, but its just so unnatural.
Honestly, I think my mentality was that since my eyecolor tends to just soak up color and make any lens look really dark, that I better go for the biggest, brightest blue out there.




So here is the stock photo and description from solution-lens.com:



  • Diameter 15.0 mm
  • Water content 38-42%
  • Base curve 8.7
  • 1 year disposable (recommended use for 4-6 months)
  • Packaged in sterile buffered saline
  • FDA and EU approved contact lenses
  • Ophthalmologists and optical shops certified
  • Buy without prescription
  • Perfect for both dark and light colored eyes

And here's how it looks on me:

















Well first of all, the girl in the stock photo is clearly wearing the lenses inside-out. That's actually my only point here. Moving on....

color:

It's... definitely colored! I'm not sure I did the best job of selecting this shade of blue for my coloring, but I can't really blame Geo for my skin-tone now, can I? Anyways, if you're looking for an aqua-blue lens, this is an aqua-blue lens. What you see is what you get. I actually wish all of Geo's colors were this true and vibrant.


color: 10/10







 design:


Personally, I am not a huge fan of this design. I've seen it look nice and crystal-y on others, but on me, the pattern just looks segmented and disconnected. It kind of resembles the pattern that an artist might give to doll-eyes. The pupil hole is ginormous.. which I don't like. I am also decidedly not a fan of the size. Note to self: 15mm is waaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy too big!!!!!!!!! This would actually be a terrific lens if I ever had the occasion to dress up as a barbie doll. If you plan on ever trying to recreate the barbie doll look, you need this lens!!!

design: 6/10



barbie makeup!

comfort:

I tend to find Geo lenses a bit less comfortable than other brands, but only initially. These ones actually were pretty good. No initial discomfort, no sliding. They kind of feel like a comfy blanket over my eyes because they are so big. I get the sense that they could feel suffocating later on, but I can't really say how they would be after several hours because I only had them on for the duration of this photo shoot. I am *not* ready to wear these babies out in public lol!

comfort: 9/10





enlargement:

... It's.... pretty freaking huge. 

enlargement: 12/10





 some final thoughts overall: 


 This lens doesn't really work for me personally, just because I don't really do much cosplay, I don't gravitate towards the "dolly" look, and I prefer lenses that are a lot more natural in terms of size and diameter. These also require a lot of makeup to look... human, and I am not a fan of wearing tons of makeup. But if you like to dress up and wear falsies and look like a dolly, these lenses would be awesome! It's actually kind of a cool and unique design- I just wish it looked better on me. I'll have to find some excuses to wear this. And maybe experiment with some false lashes...

overall: 7/10

Review: Dueba Barbie A11 Yellow Brown

These are my lovely Dueba A11 yellow brown lenses, which I purchased from solution-lens.com (who are always super helpful and super inexpensive). 
After trying my Tonys and Alohas and Geolicas in all kinds of bright colors, I felt like I wanted something that wasn't quite such a dramatic change. After all, I really do love having warm, rich brown eyes. Sometimes, I just want to make them look prettier- but not really different. So I ordered these A11 yellow browns, and they did not disappoint!


color:


As you can see, they are kind of orangey in the bottle. Similar to the Tony browns, but on the eye, they are much darker.

They pretty much look golden brown on my eyes. They don't really change my natural color at all. I was a little bit worried that these might take on a yellowy-green color as brown lenses often do, but these stayed really warm and rich looking. 
The aspect which I reeeeeeally love is the limbal ring. Instead of being a fake-looking solid black line, Its this lovely chocolate brown outline which looks natural, yet defining. To me, this is wayyyyy better than other circle lenses with the defining black ring that just makes your eyes look darker.

Unfortunately, the difference is very hard to detect in photographs. In real life, they make my eyes look brighter, more alert, and very sweet-looking. Sorry if its hard to see in the pictures, but... just trust me on this one ;)

color: 10/10

comparison: left eye with A11 lens, right eye au naturel




design:

They say they are similar to Soloticas... ehhh.... not really. They don't really add color, and the pigment comes nowhere near your pupil... The only thing that is similar is the superb blending. Then again, the color is so close to my natural color that not much blending is needed. Anyways, I don't think the comparison is necessary- to me, this isn't a color-changing lens like Soloticas, this is a natural looking circle lens. Better than a circle lens, because it brightens the color too. Also, I find that I have to wear very little makeup with this lens. In fact, it actually looks prettier with almost no makeup.


design: 10/10



enlargement:

These are large enough to give that innocent doe-eyed look (especially with the chocolate brown limbal ring), but still small enough to be believable. I use these strictly an enlarging lens, and I find them absolutely perfect. I wear these out during the day, at school and at work. If you are looking for the huge anime eyes look, these would probably be too small.

enlargement: 10/10

another comparison: left eye with A11 lens, right eye au naturel

comfort:

I found these comfortable initially, but they seem to get dry a bit quicker than other lenses. I find I have to use drops around the fourth hour. It's not horrible, just kind of a shame because these are the lenses I like to wear the most often (well it might be a toss-up between my Tiny Puffies). Anyways...

comfort: 9/10



overall:

Love, love, love these lenses!!!!! I would recommend these to anyone with any shade of brown or even hazel eyes, just to brighten, enlarge, and add a very natural-looking, defining limbal ring.

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.

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

Help! Does anyone know where I can find these lenses?

Does anybody know what these lenses are called, and where I can buy them? I found the image here:

http://domotha.weebly.com/dueba-gng.html

I don't find much for sale when I search for A21, so I am wondering if they have a different name. Pinky Paradise is the only place that has them for sale, but they only have the brown and the gray. I want the blue ones.

They almost look like my Barbie Tonies, which I love, but those do not come in blue :(

If anyone knows where I can find these, I would be much obliged.
