Whoo! It feels like ages since I've posted! Well. It actually has been haha.First off I guess I'd like to thank everybody for supporting me in my endeavor as one of the finalists for Etude House's Pink Artiste 2013! I bagged second and I totally couldn't do it without you!
I was supposed to post a recap of the events plus the ridiculously large haul that came with the prize but I haven't been able to properly consolidate all the pictures or have time to unbag the massiveness of the haul that awaits. But rest assured I'll try to make a post (no matter how late it is) as soon as I possibly can.
This post, will actually be a sponsored review which was delayed because of a mishap in the mail. Customs is really tough here in the Philippines, and a little mishap with the addressing made it a little bit difficult to claim my package, but Alex from MapleLens.com was amazing enough to help me claim my package. Talk about great customer service all the way from Malaysia :) Say hello to these lovely babies!
Yehp! Not one, but two lovely pairs of lenses from the wonderful people at MapleLens.com. They were kind enough to let me choose a pair and send another of their choice for me to review, along with some totes cute lens cases to go with them!
The packaging is phenomenal and everything's packaged safely in bubble wrap. Need I mention how utterly thrilled I am to have some new additions to my growing cute lens case collection?
Both of the lenses they sent me are from GEO and have an authentication code that comes with them. Pretty nifty and legit! They (thankfully) came graded in -1.25 for both my eyes so these are definitely some of my more used lenses :)
Today I'll be reviewing the pair of GEO GRANG GRANG CHOCO lenses that they sent me.
Enlargement
Aren't they totally gorgeous? At 14.2 mm they're not overly huge and look rather natural around my dark brown eyes. They're almost an exact match for them with a nice light brown as a second accent tone. And despite being 14.2 mm these give a decent amount of dolly enlargement without needing over-the-top eye makeup. Check out how big these babies can make your eyes look with the picture below!
Color and Design
I almost wish I had gotten the lighter brown variant of these lenses, but then I revert to how natural the dark brown of this design looks on my eyes. The crystal effect it has makes your eyes look キラ☆キラ (kira-kira) and sparkling. Almost like anime brought to life. Excuse my sudden use of Japanese onomatopoeia - I've been brushing up on my functional Japanese haha.
It might look a little dull, but honestly, this design is right up my alley, and I can wear it with just my usual amount of eyeliner and mascara!
Comfort
These lenses are SUPER comfy. I wore them to a 12 hour convention (I usually don't recommend wearing cosmetic lenses for that long a time) and they didn't dry out at all! I was even quite surprised that I hadn't experienced any blurring of vision or dryness in my eyes. Plus the fact that I got them graded did wonders for my usually poor vision.
Overall Verdict
I am totally in love with these lenses and I've been using them quite often during weekends to spice up my look! They're the perfect natural dark brown appropriate for Asian wear without looking too conspicuous. They're perfect for both the sophisticated classy look as well as that cute youthful dolly look.
What do you guys think?
You can find these lenses over at MapleLens.com so go ahead and check them out!
I'll be back with a post on the other pair of lenses I received soon! As well as a recap post of my Etude Haul and Experience! Not to mention a long awaited giveaway. So keep watch for that!
