Circle Lens Review - EOS Xtravaganza (G-210) Violet

Here is my review for EOS Xtravaganza (G-210) Violet circle lenses, sponsored by MukuChu. These lenses have a much wider "hole" in the middle than most other lenses on the market, so the color part is smaller. Nevertheless, the design is very eye-catching and the color is quite bright.

Enlargement-wise, these are 14.5mm lenses so it is quite noticeable. The dark outer ring helps define your eyes as well.

Here are the Xtravaganzas compared to my EOS V-202 grey, a series with narrow color parts. The Xtravaganzas are a little bit larger, and the color is definitely brighter.

I also compared them to my favourite violet lenses, G&G Bt02. They look a bit dark compared to the G&G lenses, but they are larger.

Here are all the lenses I used in this review. Clockwise from the top: Xtravaganza Violet upside down, BT02 Violet, Xtravaganza Violet right side up, V-202 Grey.

FINAL VERDICT:
Design: 9/10 - I like the design, I just wish the color part is wider.
Enlargement: 8/10 - Pretty noticeable
Comfort: 7/10 - Slightly thick, but not too uncomfortable
TOTAL: 8/10 - I think this series is pretty unique in terms of design, and they are pretty noticeable as well.

Thank you Mukuchu for the lenses!

Circle Lens Review - GEO Princess Mimi (AKA Tsubasa Bambie Series) Chocolate Brown + Discount code!

Here is my review for the highly-anticipated GEO Princess Mimi circle lenses in Chocolate Brown, sponsored by CandyLens. These have the same design as the Angel Color Bambie Series, designed by the popular Gyaru model Tsubasa Masuwaka. I must say that these lenses have quite an interesting design, and I am sure the design will be even more obvious in light-colored versions.

The lenses have a dark outer ring with spikes going into the middle, a speckled main color, and a golden brown inner ring around the pupil. They look very "transparent" when worn, giving depth to your eyes. They also remind me of Blythe eyes. :)

On the bottle, the lenses were labeled as 15.0mm in size. I must say they are quite large indeed!

The lenses are more of a reddish-brown than the normal "brown" most circle lenses have. For example, when compared to my Barbie King Size Brown, they look quite red. The sizes of the two lenses are comparable, but the Mimi seems to be a wee bit bigger.

I compared the Mimis with the biggest colored lenses I have on hand, GEO Super Nudy Brown. I think the Super Nudy are still bigger, but the pattern of the Nudy is less interesting than the Mimis.

Here are all the lenses worn in this review. Clockwise from the top: Mimi Brown right side up, King Size Brown, Mimi Brown upside down, Super Nudy brown.


FINAL VERDICT:
Design: 9/10 - I think they look very unique and doll-like
Enlargement: 10/10 - LARGE. Might look unnatural without makeup.
Comfort: 8/10 - Not much discomfort from the 10-ish minutes I wore them for the review.
TOTAL: 9/10 - Very cute lenses, but definitely not for everyday wear! :)

Makeup demo video preview - Porcelain Doll

Sorry for missing another post last weekend, I have midterms and presentations to prepare for :\ Anyway, the above photo is from a failed makeup tutorial that I filmed a while ago. I didn't realize a big mistake I made on the makeup until I started editing the footage; I might still put an edited video up on Youtube, but I probably won't be having the instructions on each step as I usually do. Stay tuned. :)
