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

camera whoring time!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had ordered these tornado lenses from Geo which are supposed to be made specifically for dark brown eyes. In fact, here is the description from solution-lens.com:

These lenses are perfect for any occasion and you can get them from our store now."

And these are the pictures advertised on the website:

So, I ordered these thinking they would turn my eyes a lovely sapphire blue. Unfortunately, these were the results:

And this is with flash! You can barely tell it is blue. Under normal light, it actually looks a muddy, dark swamp green. Very, very, very icky.

They actually make my eyes look darker and less vibrant. I almost look possessed when I have these on.

Well at first, I was so pissed that these lenses are actually advertised as being perfect for darker eyes. But then I took a closer look...

These are the stats for the

GEO CM-772 TORNADO SUPER SKY BLUE STAR COLORED CONTACT LENSES FOR A REAL BRIGHT BLUE EYE COLOR

from Solution-lens.com

Diameter 14.5 mm
Water content 38%
Base curve 8.5

And here is the vial in which I received my lenses:

The diameter is 14.2 instead of 14.5

The base curve is 8.6 instead of 8.5

Nothing in the numeric code says CM772

I think I got sent the wrong lenses!!!!!!!

Now here is a picture of the lenses by themselves:

And here is a picture of the

GEO BELLA BLUE BS-202 NATURAL COLORED CIRCLE LENS WITHOUT DARK RING

And the stats for the

GEO BELLA BLUE BS-202 NATURAL COLORED CIRCLE LENS WITHOUT DARK RING

Diameter 14.2 mm
Water content 38-42%
Base curve 8.60

Perfectly matches the stats on my vial

Here is the website's picture of a person with brown eyes wearing the Geo Bella Blue lenses:

I am pretty sure they sent me the wrong lenses...

Well I don't think I am going to review these in earnest, because these are lenses that I would have never purposely chosen for my eyes. Plus if I did review them, the scores would all be wayyyyy negative.

Update:

I contacted Solution-lens and they informed me that I did, in fact, receive the Geo CM-772 Tornado Sky Blue lenses that I ordered. They replied after just a few minutes, so I guess thats rather impressive. Anyways, here is my review on them:

Color: -10/10 just... awful. It's like navy blue.

Design: -10/10 worst possible for dark eyes

Enlargement: -10/10 they make me look possessed...

Comfort: 6/10 initially they feel kind of rough (like normal contacts when you're getting used to them) and I had no interest in keeping them on longer than that initial period.

Overall: -10/10 truly the worst contacts I have ever owned.

Oh, and I guess I'm back to being angry about false advertising again. It's sad, because up until now, I have really really liked Solution-Lens. I don't want to be angry with them. Well maybe its not their fault. Maybe GEO is the one who supplied that information.
Come to think of it, of all the lenses I have, the GEO lenses have all been pretty disappointing color-wise. I have four lenses from GEO and none of them turned out the color I wanted over my dark eyes.

On the other hand, my three Dueba lenses show up brilliantly on my eyes. I have the Dueba Barbie Tonies in Gray (my absolute favorite) and Brown, and the Barbie Queen Aloha in violet.

I guess I have to order more Duebas. Maybe I will try some lenses from Vassen as well, but definitely no more GEO :(
