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: Geo Hurricane Brown


Geo Hurricane Brown
Purchased from Pinky Paradise.

I had been looking at these for a good month but still didn't want to buy them. Then I read somewhere that the Hurricane Series were actually going to be discontinued so regardless if it's true or not, that's what swayed my decision.
I wanted a Brown lens that was natural with a twist, from the pictures that's what it looked like. Now onward to the review.



Color-Design: 10/10
The Geo Hurricane Browns are actually more Hazel and the Geo Hurricane Hazel's are actually more Brown. I thought that was kinda ironic. Nonetheless I love the color of these. They look great on my natural eye color, whether in direct light or natural light. I'm glad as far as a natural lens with flavor this looked exactly how I hoped. It does have a Dark ring but since the contact is brown it blends well and makes the eyes pop even more.



Comfort 3/10:
The Geo Ash Wings were fine on my eyes. These are the opposite which crushed me. When I first put them in it took literally 10mins for me to stop blinking every second because of discomfort. I made sure the lens wasn't inside out which it wasn't. They were very uncomfortable and even though the it did improve, my eyes didn't care for them. Tried them again today, it took 5mins this time for my eyes to be okay with them and stop blinking like crazy due to discomfort but I couldn't bare to keep them on. Really am bummed because I love how these look on my eyes. I can't get over how they feel in my eye though.

I can feel them move when I blink, I can see them move when I blink in the mirror. Sometimes it's a slight movement and other times it's not :-/

Enlargement 10/10:
They are 14.0mm in diameter though with the black outer ring they do appear more of a 14.5mm. Even so I like the look a lot.


Overall 5/10:
These lenses would be my number 1 if they were just comfortable! The comfort really brings it down a lot. You're putting something in your eye so it should be comfortable, not unpleasant :-).
I'll give these another try later but right now, very disappointed.
