Circle Lens Review: LuxuryBabe Luxury 61

Hey guys.
I was going to wait until the weekend for this review but due to Lenses I pushed it for today since I won't be able to deal with these lenses come the Weekend...



These are the LuxuryBabe Luxury 61 in Brown. Purchased from Apple Of Your Eyes.

Diameter: 16.0mm (Enlarging Effect, they are 14.5mm)
Water Content: 45%
Base Curve: 8.6
Manufacturer: Belmore INC, Korea
Even the Thickness is mentioned at 0.04mm.
Prescription: PLANO to -5.50.

These are suppose to be the "Bigger" version of Candylicious (Vassen) Fiffy 4 Tone Series which is labeled as 14.5mm. The water content on those are 55%.

They did not come in your typical Vial, they came in a Blister Pack:


Having never heard of the company and brand I decided to give them a try. Who's to say I wouldn't like them if I didn't give them a try, ya know?
Looking forward to putting these on and wearing them all week I was anxious to get these open and going. I Soaked them in Clear Care over night and when it was time to put them on, well, I was disappointed.



Appearance of the Lens it has a Brown Limbal Ring. Not Heavy but with a natural appearance to it actually. The actual lens is more of a Honey mixed with Brown and slight orange color.
I was looking for a Lens that was Brown but still give a nice POP. Some Brown lenses in which you look for that are lighter tend to come off with an Orange hue to them.

Appearance: 9.0/10.0

For effect I did want a Larger lens this time and I felt these were large but not overwhelming. You can wear these without need of Make-Up. The Enlargement was a nice size

Enlargement: 8.0/10.0



Now for Comfort...

The Comfort was the main reason why I could not wait for the weekend to do this Review. These were very Uncomfortable. Looking outside was almost impossible. I couldn't stop blinking my eyes long enough for more than 5 seconds due to Irritation. As you can see my eyes look a bit Watery and the veins in my eyes are showing more due to the Irritation.
I really wanted to give these a chance. I had already used Clear Care over them over night so then I even soaked them in Aquify for a few minutes to see if that would help and no, sadly these were uncomfortable. I won't say Unbearable but just as close. I wouldn't wear these for more than just a Photo-Op and only if had to. You can feel these. It isn't painful but you can definitely feel the lenses on your lids and the edge of them.

It reminded me of the Geo Hurricane Brown's(<--that review) I had from over 2 years ago.

Comfort: 3.5/10.0

Overall: 4.5/10.0 Though the Appearance and Enlargement were nice, the Comfort is not something in which I would want to purchase or wear these again and sadly make me Hesitant of other LuxuryBabe Contact Series.

Hoping that the Vassen/Candylicious Fiffy 4 Tone Series are actually comfortable compared to these. I am reviewing the Violet lenses from that series next Lens Review.

Puffy 3 Tone Grey Lens Review - Picture Heavy



Hello Everyone! Stuck to my word of updating this weekend and I do indeed have a review for you all, so they's get this started!

Let's the the Basic manufacture & sizing out of the way;

Manufacturer: Dueba
Diameter: 14.5mm
Effect: 16.0mm
Base Curve: 8.6
Prescription: 0.00 to -10.00



Ordered these from Apple of Your Eyes, Standard post. Received in 2 weeks in US.

As you can see they have a Thick Grey Limbal ring. As it gets inward it goes into a Light Grey and the middle is a Yellow Accent color with some Brown.

I will say that these Lenses can come off as Three Different Colors, based off of the Lighting and Distance one is looking at you.






For the Enlargement you can see that there is a noticeable size of Enlarging Effect. Though the effect is not Off putting. You can get away with wearing these without Make-Up.

Enlargement: 8.0/10.0. 
Note: I did not buy these for the Enlargement.


With Both in for Flash, depending on the Angle and view the Grey have more of a Blue hue to them as you can see.




Without Flash it looks more Grey but still with a Blue tint to it with a yellow center.



As noted above they can come off as Three different colors. In this picture with the different room lighting (no flash) The Yellow blends in with the Grey and it comes off as a Light Cloudy Green. At work they showed up more so as Green/Grey than Grey or a Blue/Grey. It all depends on the Lighting! As well as the color of your eyes.

Appearance: 6.0/10.0

At first I did not care for these lenses when I first put these on due to how the Yellow in the middle can be give a Fish Eye effect but soon you forget it's there after you get use to the look of the lenses. I received compliments on the lenses but the color is what people were confused upon.

"Oh, are those Green?" "Are those Blue?" "They don't look Grey." If you want a lens with a Solid color in lighting then these aren't for you.

For Comfort these Lenses were Alright. I love Dueba, I fell in love with them with the G&G/Dueba Natural Green lenses I ordered from them, as well as in Violet but I yes I could tell these were in my eyes.
Was there an Irritation? No. I do work in a Dry environment.

Comfort: 7.0/10.0

I also want to Note: When trying out Lenses make sure that not only do you have your Solutions up to date/Not Expired (or Open pass 90 days). You want to make sure that you are not Allergic to it as well. If you have Itchy Eyes/Irritation as soon as you put on the Contacts after a few minutes, it's usually not the Lens. It's the Solution in which you have them in.


Overall: 7.0/10.0



Next Review: LuxuryBabe Luxury 61 in Brown

Long Overdue Coming Back Post

Long long overdue on returning and also - I Need To Update My Layout, EEK MUCH! -

So I DISAPPEARED, which is horrible because my blog still gets views, I get some E-mails about the Reviews I did and all while this is going on I'm just sitting here like "I Really Need To Get Back To Doing My Reviews." Because honestly, it's fun to me. It kept my mind off of stress and away from other stuff. To be focused on a Task.

Now with that said I do have some Lenses I plan to review Coming along in the next few weeks starting (goal) this Weekend! Now I do work Night shift so if not this weekend it WILL (Guarantee) Be next weekend.

With that said do I even HAVE the lenses?



I indeed to! I ordered from Apple Of Your Eyes! I have 6 Lenses to review for you all! Excitement!

I've been waiting on the Package for 2 weeks so I was so happy to finally get it, was hoping it wasn't delivered to a different address.



Upcoming Lenses that will be Reviewed! I won't say which ones right now but once I do a Review I will let you know what the next one will be at the bottom of it.

I've ordered from AOYE's before and didn't have an issue. I thought 7 pairs and though directly in front of you, you only see 6, there's one off to the side.



Sadly a Vial was broke upon Delivery (probably explains the blurred out return address). It was my Hazel Gothic 14.5 Lenses I was going to review.



I figured my luck of not having a broken vial yet on delivery would run out. Thankfully I am not upset, since I have 6 pairs I CAN wear.

I don't blame anyone aside from Mishandling. There's a Fragile glass sticker on it, and stamped, but I doubt it was taken into consideration. When I received from the Postman I could tell it had been handled many. I do plan on replacing, just a matter of trying to get the same Lenses or different Hazel ones :-).

Updates to come!
