"Big-Eye" Contacts / Circle Lenses

[RandomnessWithK]

i actually own a couple of pairs.. i don't wear them everyday.. but i do wear them on occasion and i like how i look in them..

i actually did a review on a few pairs because a company had asked me to (on my youtube page/blog).. but i can see how the darker ones can make you look like your on drugs (because pupils look bigger etc)..

but just like regular contact lenses - it is great to use with caution! putting anything in your eye can be hazardous to your health - so do your research before anything!

I just bought the Angel Eyes GEO lenses in Grey & the Duo lenses in Amethyst.

I'm wearing the Amethyst ones right now - I have naturally dark brown eyes with a reddish tinge to them (when photographed) and these actually make me look kinda freaky lol. I think the red tinge in my eyes brings out the purple a little more.

I have to buy lense cases for my grey ones before I can try them, but I have to say that these are pretty cool. Like any lense, they take awhile to get used to - including the same rules about prescription lenses - ie. wear for the first time for only an hour or two and then progress with more hours using them as your eye gets comfortable.

Mine are not RX lenses - and they are also "one size fits all". For cosmetic purposes only and only to be worn for a few hours at a time because of this.

My bf didn't even notice a difference haha. I haven't told him either.


Edit: Oh, and mine were $15 a pair Canadian - and they came with the authentic GEO pin code for the website.

I actually posted about Circle Lenses on my blog a while ago, it was a review for the GEO ANGEL BROWN lens. Thought I would share it here with you all. Btw, I'm a contacts virgin...never worn them before because I just wore glasses as my prescription isnt' that bad that I would need them all the time.




Here's the original blog post.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wanted to share my experience after "wearing" circle lenses for the first FIRRRST TIME EVERRRR.
I say "wear" apprehensively because the previous times, I couldn't tolerate them for more than 10-15minutes.

*Sorry for the white bit, the eyelash glue hasn't dried yet*

Yup. I am a lens virgin.
​

I have prescription glasses but I dont need to wear it all the time, only for super serious geek mode.

So while I've read many reviews for lenses online/bloggers/youtubers, most people say that they are quite comfortable etc. However, most of them are contact lens wearers so I thought this would be helpful for those who have NEVER WORN contacts.

​

Putting them in:
I think I have some innate natural fear of getting things into my eye. I am fiercely afraid of eye-drops. So it wasn't any surprise that I kept on blinking when trying to put on my lens, however this time it only took about 3-5minutes....much faster than the previous times. I believe this part is mostly just about practice and how comfortable/relaxed you are, if you've never worn contacts before, it can be really un-nerving to stick something onto your eyeball!




Here is what the lenses look like in their bottles. As you can see the dark outter ring is pretty obvious with a large "clear" hole in the middle. It is one of the most popular brown lenses out there. The purpose of CIRCLE LENSES are mainly:

1. Change the colour of your eye.
2. Enlarge the size of your eye. It does this because the diameter of the coloured part is larger than the size of the average eyeball. The diameter of circle lenses run anywhere from 14-14.5mm. Thus, when you wear them, your eyes are literally enlarged.
3. Most of them can be bought with prescription and worn just like your regular contacts.

Lets seem them in action!



Colour:
Having previously tried the Geo Nudy Brown lenses, which were supposedly less contrasting and more natural, I actually found the Angel series to be much more fitted to my own eye-colour. Note my eyes are a lighter brown with a red or hazel tinge (depending on the lighting). The outter edges of the lens colour matched quite well with the lighter colour of my eyes.
Undetectable? No.
Reasonable natural? Yes.

Comfort:
I took these lenses for a 5hr testing, while my eyes did get sore by the 3-4th hour, it wasn't unbearable. Unfortunately, I could FEEL THEM for the entire time therefore this is not a look that I can pull off day-to-day.



I'll still keep these guys around since they have a ONE YEAR usage date, but it is definitely not something I would wear often. I'd really rather stick on double eyelid tape and false eyelashes and layer on the eyeliner before having to wear these guys out again.

But I do gotta say. It changes your whole face shape.
The super large eyes makes you face smaller and more delicate.

BUT...not worth it for me

Hope that was informative, especially for those interested and have never worn contacts before.

Normal contact lenses in general REALLY dried out my eyes in the 1 year that I gave it a shot (to the point that I was literally having to RIP them from my eyes each time I'd go to take them off because they dried out my eyes [and this was after using eye drops continuously throughout the day]) so somehow I think things would turn out very badly for me if I even gave these a try.

 

[RandomnessWithK]

they are a lot more drying than regular contact lenses because they do not hold as much water as regular contact lenses.

i have stopped wearing any type of contact lenses though lol.. but i still admit they are cute!

I have been wearing them for a year and a half. I've tried the GEO brand from three-tone, angel, and nudy. I'm an avid lens wearer so I am able to wear them for 8 hours. I found another brand I like, so I have like 5 brand new pairs sitting there. I prefer Colourvue. It is not the most popular lens since they aren't technically circle lenses, but their glamour and big eye series are "big eye" contacts. They are way more comfortable and less drying than the GEOs. But they only last up to three months, which is perfect since the idea of keeping lens for a year is a bit germy. If anyone needs pictures of GEO or colourvue lens worn on dark brown eyes, let me know. I've tried practically every shade but black. I'm sure I can find pictures.

Was just poking around and thought I'd let people know about this awesome site I go to for my circle lenses: http://lenscircle.com/
They have a really neat package where, if you buy two pairs of lenses, you get free shipping and a cute little case
I just ordered some so I'm hopping for the bunny case (crosses fingers).

I tried the Angel Blue series, and I want to try something new so I decided to buy a set of Angel purple and Angel Grey. I hope it works out

Kinda getting back into these again. I just bought Geo Xtra Hearts Pink. I really really love them. They give a very dolly look.

 

[heart]

i am dying to try these! you all look so stunning.

 

[Amber Dawn]

Wow these look amazing! I'm actually going in for a contact lens fitting to get some trials (just normal ones) but if it works out I'll have to try these in the future.
