Hello peeps! Today's review is going to be on circle lenses, because I recently just opened a new pair. I'm not usually the type of person to open like 4-10 pairs of contacts and alternate, usually a good two pairs can last me through half a year.
First, I would like to give a little background to my lenses preference. Many people have different likes and dislikes to how they want their circles lenses to be so in order for this review to be applicable use for those searching for a review to determine what lenses to buy I will give a heads up to see if my preference will match with yours.
What I look for in circle lenses: I tend to stick to brown lenses (sometimes grey) as I'm not really a fan of crazy colour lenses, I normally wear 14.5 - 15.0 lenses but sometimes I make an exception and I prefer lenses with more simple designs that aren't that apparent ( a example of one of my favourite lenses would be GEO Cafe Mimi Cappuccino Brown).

Close-up: Has a darker ring and flower-lace like patterns around the outside |
Design: 7/10
I'm not a huge fan of intricate designs on the lenses, so when I saw these I was quite sceptical. I thought, "damn another pair that I might throw out after wearing for only a couple of times" because it just didn't look like it lives up to the Cafe Mimi Cappuccino Browns I have grown to love. However, I can say that the design on the lenses aren't really that bold when worn so I gave it a higher rating.
As you can see here, flash and no flash makes a huge difference. It looks like more darker natural brown lenses with no flash, but with flash the designs are much more apparent. Now, the apparentness( this doesn't sound like an actual word but I will use it because the red squiggly line hasn't come up yet) of the design on the lenses is really that noticeable from afar, it's just because I took a close up picture.
Color: 6/10
It says it's brown, but honestly it looks more yellow to me haha. It's like more of this hazel colour and I was scared because I didn't want to look like a reptile. However, probably because my iris is naturally darker, the colour and design just doesn't show up as much. So in my opinion, thank god.
Natural: 8/10
It came out more naturally than I expected so, thumbs up!
Enlargement: 10/10
They are 15mm, you can expect a lot of this. If you're looking for a "no-makeup" look, these lenses are going to look pretty darn weird on so I suggest putting on some more defined eye make up if you want to wear larger lenses. I tend to think it looks a little like floating pupils if you wear really large lenses and have less-to-none eye make-up on.
Comfort: 8/10
The comfort level is much better than the Cafe Mimi lenses in my opinion. I usually have to take out the Cafe Mimi Cappuccino lenses in 4-6 hours, but these ones didn't give me too much of a terrible "I NEED TO TAKE THESE OUT" feeling. The most annoying would be after awhile it appears that my vision is a little fuzzy. (Note: Just don't wear it for too long)
Overall: 7/10
I do like these enough to wear them often, but because of the design and stuff I just don't "love-love" them. For those like me who like the more one-tone, hazy looking lenses...These are an okay alternative. I don't love them enough to buy it again but haha I will put it to full use!
Ciao, thanks for reading!
