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: Geolica Lady contact lenses in green, purchased from Solution-Lens.com

I am going to be reviewing Geolica Lady color contact lenses in green. These lenses were purchased from Solution-Lens.com.

Long have I been searching for the perfect colored contact lens that covers my dark brown eyes. The main features I am seeking are vibrant color and natural look. I have tried a couple of different sites in the past, but I have to say my experience with Solution-Lens was by far the best.

Solution Lens 10/10


One of the reasons I chose Solution-Lens.com is because their website posts pictures of actual customers wearing the lenses advertised. I found this very helpful as most sites just feature a picture of a person with colored lenses photoshopped (badly) onto their light blue eyes.

I highly recommend this site; it was easy to navigate and the entire transaction was very quick and professional. Most of the lenses on this site (including the Geolica Lady) are only $20 (per pair, and including shipping!), and you get the third pair free. This is the most economical deal I have found online for circle lenses.

I ordered two pairs of lenses and received a third pair for free. Solution-Lens was also kind enough to send me a cute pink pen and a case for each pair of lenses.

My package arrived in just 10 days- less than the expected two weeks.








The vials were very carefully wrapped and arrived in perfect condition.









The Geolica Lady series is a new line from Geo and it is specifically designed for people with darker irises (like mine!). The colors are vibrant, and these lenses do not have a thick black limbal ring as many other circle lenses do.


Color 8/10

 The color shows up well in most light, but it shows up as a very dark green, so it is not supremely obvious. I was really hoping for something a bit lighter. It shows a vibrant yellow green in flash photography and a dark forest green in natural/ indoor light. This is a true true green, which is not typically found in natural eye colors. I was really hoping it would be more of a jade green. Overall, I would rate the color 8/10.




Design  7/10


The design is unique and incorporates three different colors: Green, black, and a yellowish inner starburst. The starburst makes the color pop, however I feel that the pupil hole is a bit too big, and the starburst a bit too bright, so the color does not blend seamlessly with the natural eye color. This is a shame because the contacts would look fairly natural up close if not for the wide, bright starburst. The green and black pigments form a geological looking pattern around the outside of the pupil, with empty spaces through which the natural eye color shows. I would rate the design 7/10



Enlargement 8/10

 According to the label on the vial for these contacts, the diameter is supposed to be 14.2, however I feel that these look a bit bigger. They do seem to have a nice enlarging effect my eyes, even without the black ring. Enlargement was not one of the features I sought when purchasing these lenses, but nonetheless, I rate the enlarging effect 8/10

Comfort 7/10


These lenses were fairly comfortable once I got used to wearing them. I am fairly new to contact lenses, and it takes me about ten minutes to adjust to having these in my eyes. Most lenses take about 5 minutes for me to adjust to. That being said, once in I was able to wear them comfortably for a good 6 hours, no drops needed. I would rate the comfort 7/10.


Overall Satisfaction 7/10

On the whole, I have been very pleased with these lenses. I get lots of compliments, and I am told that green eyes suit me. My overall rating of these Geolica Lady green lenses is 7/10.

Just to RECAP:

Color: a little too dark and too green- 8/10
Design: nice, but pupil hole is too obvious- 7/10
Enlargement: not important to me, but- 8/10
Comfort: takes some getting used to- 7/10
Overall: not perfect, but they still look pretty- 7/10
Dealing with Solution-Lens: a perfect 10/10
