These are my second pair of lenses from the shop and were sent to me kindly for review and as excited as I am about these, I'll try to be as objective as possible as I review these haha.
For info on my first fashion lens experience, lens care and general lens handling tips, you can check out my previous post on lenses here.
This time I'm reviewing some EOS Lenses a brand of lenses from South Korea and are among the most popular brands of lenses these days. The lenses I received came in Flower 2-Tone Blue and look absolutely gorgeous.
Before I get started on the actual lenses, may I just comment on how beautifully packaged these lenses came to me via mail? Dull to Doll does a good job with the packaging and presentation and even comes with some simple lens care and preparation reminders. So sweet!
The Flower 2-Tone Blue lenses I got were both plano (although both my eyes are -1.25). They're 14.00mm in diameter and have a base curve of 8.6mm. One of the best parts is that they have 38% water content, making them soft and comfy to wear.
Enlargement
On the first impression, the lenses look a bit daunting - a flower isn't exactly the first thing you'd expect to see in somebody's eyes :P But when you wear them they actually look really natural! IKR, I never expected it either. They have a very subtle enlarging effect that doesn't come off as too dolly and the flower petals actually blend into the irises to give your eyes a cool 2-toned look to them. They're not even too obvious (but still make an impact) in natural light!
Wear-ability
Of course, these aren't lenses I would recommend wearing without a decent amount of eye makeup. I think eye makeup really does the trick of balancing out what would be rather dramatic looking lenses. I think framing the lenses well with eyeliner that isn't too top-heavy does the trick of making them more wearable. Do you guys think I pulled it off well? ;)
Comfort is always at the top of my list where lenses are concerned, and with a water content of 38%, you barely even feel them there. People ask me why even with lenses with higher water content, they might still feel uncomfortable on your eyes. If this is the case for you, it might not be the water content, but the base curve you should be looking at. Not all eyes have the same base curve, and if your eyes are narrower or wider, the lenses might not adhere correctly to your eyes and cause irritation. That's the case with my right eye, but because my base curve isn't that varied from the normal, it doesn't bother me much. Try checking up with your eye doctor to see if you have differences in your eyes :)
hahaha I need a haircut
All in all I'm loving these lenses and might try getting them graded in brown. What do you guys think? Are you fond of fashion or fancy lenses? Or are you more inclined to natural-looking enlargement? Any questions? Feel free to ask me in the comments below.
If you enjoyed this post and are curious of other lenses available, why not try checking out Dull to Doll? They have a wide selection of lenses, both graded and non-graded and in different designs as well.
