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.

Circle Lens Review: Kimchi Bambi Series (Brown, Green, Grey)

Note: I buy my own things, no one gives me free things... I don't feel I need to say that again. So this is my money and my own eye comfort level.. OKAY?! (lol!)

Also I need a Camera... So... yeah shut it.

Now that we have that out of the way.... :D

I bought The Grey and Green from Apple Of Your Eyes which is a Blogspot Circle Lens Store! The Brown I purchased from BlingBlingEyes since I had a credit that was on my account from a lens they didn't have in stock. Have in total bought I believe a good 10 lenses or so from Allyson (Apple of your eyes) - All of which I am behind on Reviewing (Sorry sorry sorry). She is nice to work with. If she is out of Stock with a lens that you want she will Recommend others lenses and send pictures of lenses that are Similar to the original :-)

Kimchi Bambi Series are the Alternative of the Geo Mimi Series. There are more than the 3 colors stated though in the Bambi series, a total of 6. These are just the ones I purchased.
The difference between the Kimchi Bambi versus Geo Mimi Series is that first Geo Mimi is 15.0mm in Diameter, Kimchi Bambi is 14.5mm in Diameter. Kimchi also has 3 more colors to choose from and I have felt since Mimi series came out that they were a bit "Harsher" in Design as far as color goes, and the Bambi aren't as bad :-).

Now to look at how big they give off in Appearance/Enlargement with one Lens in and one out:

 (I am sorry about the Red Eye - I put the lens in with a bit too much Solution in the middle and that's what caused it.)
Again the Lens is 14.5mm, gives an Enlargement of 16.2mm. The Pattern On the Lens as shown is a Heavy Black Outer Ring with some of the Black coming inward with a spike design. The main color is where you see the Black spiking inward and the Middle is a Honey Color on every lens in the Bambi Series. So regardless if you have a Pink lens or Grey, it is a Honey.

With Both Contacts In:

Make-up is the Trick with these Lenses I feel, a little Eyeliner goes along way with this color and series IMO.

Also the color of your Iris seems to play a key role. As you see my eyes are Brown, I noticed that even though the lenses are colored they aren't Heavily Colored - like the Dueba Dolly Eye Series - My Iris made the color popped more, so if you have Brown eyes you should be fine and the color will pop from across the room.

 Photo taken with no touch-up or Flash so in Bathroom light. Grey Lenses.

I have no Photos of me with the Green, mainly because I am not comfortable with the color of them as of yet. They are a very VIVID green.
These contacts do not have a high water content. Eye drops is a must if you plan on having them all day. I say after 4 - 5hours you will need drops, or prepare to feel the stinging of the eyes. Though maybe even 3 if you're in a drying environment.

Ratings:
Design/Color: 8/10 - I kind of wish the Honey color around the Pupil wasn't as light as it is but it's still a nice design
Appearance/Enlargement: 7/10 - I feel as though I get that Fish-eye Look slightly, even though the Pupil isn't as small as it could be. I dislike Fishy-eye contacts so much lol. For 14.5 I feel they are very enlarging with the Heavy Solid Outer ring.
Comfort: 8/10 - These are quite comfortable while moist, though when drying up I can feel that there is something ON my eye, it isn't uncomfortable just a sticking feeling a little bit.

Circle Lens Review: Kimchi Mio Brown

Hi guys! I haven't made any actual post in a long time due to me having to Work full time and along with school I've been so busy but enough with excuses, here's a REVIEW!

No Lenses:

 With the Kimchi Mio Browns

Yes the Kimchi Mio Brown. Kimchi is a new brand which has many designs I like and I figured I'd be the one of the first to give a review for their lenses :-). I heard about them in Late July of this year, they might've been out a little bit sooner but that's when I found out.

To get the questions out of the way first...

Where did you get them? How much were they? I ordered these from Geo-Lens House which is a Facebook Store. They cost about 15USD. I used Paypal and they were sent out on the 24th of August, and I received them yesterday, 2nd of September :-). I paid for Registered Mail, so no fast delivery though I will say I did receive them sooner than I expected. It was my first time ordering from them. I was a bit hesitant and that's why I love Paypal for orders I am skeptical about but they have definitely gained my trust and I will gladly order from them again in the Future :-D.

Along with the lens you get a White and Pink transparent lens case.

The Kimchi Mio Brown are 14.5mm in Diameter, the enlargement effect is 16 - 16.2 mm; so that should tell you right away that they have a Solid black outer ring. The contact itself has Black, Brown, Light brown/tan and Orange color pattern. I've been on a search for a Brown lens I will really like and a new brand is out with the Swirl pattern like the Geo Hurricane Series, except they are EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE! The Geo Hurricane Browns which have been sitting on my Contact Drawer collecting dust can now be thrown away since I have a replacement for them. Extremely happy about that :-D

I will say that they give a huge Brown/Bambi eye effect if you're not in good lighting/poor lighting which is fine, but up close you can see the color and the swirl pattern of it.

For Comfort I give them a 10/10
Though I haven't had them that long I've become use to contacts now with the way they feel right away verse later on. They do get dry later on but you can't expect contacts to not get dry. Also you might not need drops because my eyes just get dry anyway, working at a place where there is fans literally being blown on you doesn't help either.

Color and Design: 9.5/10
I enjoy the brown, it is very nice, though I do kind of wish the color Popped more but that's just my personal preference. I will say I like the blending the color has with the lens and the iris color though.


Enlargement: 10/10
They are definitely enlarging, there is no hiding that and I did get them for the enlargement factor.

Overall: 10/10

Kimchi might become my favorite brand along with Dueba/G&G. I'm looking forward to possibly getting the collect Mio series :-).

Here's a Webcam picture with poor lighting except for a light in front of my face to help you see the color.

I will try to post better and more pictures of the lens using a different camera and with less makeup (I don't usually wear Makeup but it's what I do with a new lenses that's large in size and I'm not use to wearing yet :-)).

((and yes the picture at the top is recent my nose ring is just flipped up instead of down and visible))
