Herrrrrooooo! Today I will be reviewing some of what I'm pretty sure are my favorite lenses. Seriously. I love these so very much.
I picked mine up from http://www.kiwiberry1-collection.com/ since they offer so many really good sales I can actually afford to buy a variety of lenses without going broke. =)
So here's the stock picture:
And here's what they look like upside down in my little contact lens case:

Full Review:
Design: 10/10
These look so super natural its not even funny. I'm aware that turquoise isn't exactly a natural color but these make it look like it is. They show up incredibly well, super vibrant. You can see the difference in color in the pictures. Every time I put these in I feel like they make my eyes pop. In yellowish bathroom lighting you can see more of the green undertones, in whiter natural light they almost show up as a sparkling blue sea color. They are really unique and blend into my natural eye color really well. I couldn't be happier.
Enlargement: 5/10
Online and on the bottle they say they are 14.5 mm lenses. The actual lens itself may be 14.5, but the color isn't printed all the way to the edge. Judging from the picture above with one in and one out, my eyes are naturally at 14 mm, so I would guess they are about 14.2 to 14.3 mm in reality. Now that being said, I'm happy with that size. The lens is natural enough that I can wear these out without feeling creepy and with fairly minimal makeup. If you liked the size of the GnG/Dueba Puffy 3-tone, then you probably won't be as satisfied with these. If like me, you worried about those being too overwhelming for your eyes, the EOS versions are perfect.
Comfort: 10/10
These are my first pair of EOS lenses, and while I've heard rumors about their comfort I wasn't entirely sure what to believe since I'm not a regular contact lens wearer. The rumors are true. THESE ARE SO INCREDIBLY UNBELIEVABLY FREAKING COMFORTABLE OMG. Seriously. EOS has sky rocked to my favorite brand now, and if I can at all help it, I'll be buying from them from now on out. When I put these in I can't feel a thing in my eye. They just melt into it and I don't notice I'm even wearing anything. Wore them all day, outdoors, in the middle of allergy season down here in Florida with no eye drops. Just awesome.
Overall: 9.5/10
Really an incredible lens. Really great color payoff, super comfortable and still natural looking enough to fool just about anyone who doesn't know your natural eye color. I highly recommend these and they are my new personal favorite. If you are new to circle lenses and have been looking for a starter lens, these series would be great to dip your toe into the water with. My ONLY COMPLAINT is that they are not a true 14.5 mm lens, if you can handle "only" a 14.2 to 14.3 mm lens instead then you'll be happy. =)
