Lens reviews! GEO + Neo Dali

I'm finally getting down to reviewing all the lenses I'm circulating through this year!

GEO 3-TONE GREEN,

GEO NUDY GRAY,

GEO SUPER NUDY BLUE,

NEO DALI EXTRA BROWN

===============================================

I like to thoroughly research each lens and compare and debate between many kinds before finally purchasing pairs so generally I am prepared for their color/comfort and appearance!

I bought these from a facebook seller called Doll Eyes!
Link to the shop can be found here~ https://www.facebook.com/doll.eyes1

I ordered with my friends so there were major discounts to be had.  I think it was around 15 dollars a pair?
It was great!  I also ordered the super nudy blues and nudy grays in that batch.

-----------------------------------------

The GEO 3-TONE GREEN's or the tri color greens as they're sometimes called were such a pleasant surprise to me.  They showed up exactly like stock photos and the color was spot on!


An indoor photo of me...having an epiphany.... IT HAPPENS SOMETIMES.

N as Lightning was just not amused HA HA
but you can see that my eyes ARE NOT brown.  Which is lovely!

And even without the expensive flash and SLR, you can still get the color to show up really well! ^ In this pic it looks like they took another person's eyeballs and put them in my head LOL ahah|||
 I'm still amazed everytime I look at it!
Also the multi-tonal hues were perfect for the Vanille cosplay since hers are not a flat color and it looked really natural!  As for comfort, these are not circle lenses. Merely colored imo, as they did not enlarge at all. This helped keep it very comfortable and wearable throughout the day. However I did wish for a bit of enlargement because I always want my eyes to look bigger. :c Oh well! For the expectations I had, these lenses were a great investment!

Color: 10/10
Size: 5/10 <-- no visible enlargement at all!
Comfort: 9/10 <-- still needed eyedrops once or twice throughout my 9+ hour day~

-----------------------------------------

GEO NUDY GRAY'S

These are a good beginner pair for anyone who wants decent color/enlargement and comfort.  They're not SUPER comfy, but they're not the worst I've worn.

I really love the halo effect that GEO nudy's have so I might be biased, but I also think the color is quite vibrant. If you buy gray you'll get gray.  Not just a darker brown or whatever.  They show up no matter what and I've had people in school stop me and ask me what color I'm wearing ha ha.  The only downside is that the gray's can sometimes be seen as blue's. They've got a cooler tint to them so it's all personal preference if you like that or not!

Here are some photos of me wearing them to show my point better!

With flash they show up SO intensely. And in this photo they're a nice color somehow~

Definitely enlarged eyes! HA ha O___O
My lovely friend on the left who had been visiting from TO to spend her summer with us!

Also a good pic to show my Dolly Wink no. 6's! ^



Same night.  Significantly more intoxicated LOL oh man|||
I love my hs friends I keep in touch with <3

Color: 8/10 <-- It definitely shows color but not the gray I was expecting. Still nice though~
Enlargement: 8/10 <--Definitely enlarging.  Need makeup to wear these haha and they're really eye-catching!
Comfort: 6/10 <-- I usually need eyedrops every few hours with these ones.  ;___;

-----------------------------------

GEO SUPER NUDY BLUE

Theeeeese are okay.  I was kinda underwhelmed by these because I wanted them for cosplay. This cosplay specifically.

Check her art out! She draws lots of f(x) fanart, vocaloids stuff, and of course her original concept of the student council social network personas! It's all very funny and charming stuff <333


I put these lenses on- OH AND ANOTHER THING.  I have very bad vision so I'm sometimes limited by what contacts I can buy so it was disappointing that I had to get these in plano.  But I digress that was my choice to buy them STILL.

The color is not vibrant at all. It takes extreme lighting to have them show up siiigh. Otherwise it's like black lenses with a HINT of blue in normal indoor lighting.

Here're some pics.


See?  It looks black.

From L TO R: Eijiko, Kathy, Anna, and me.

Eyes still black. =A=

Color: 5/10 <-- so disappointed.
Enlargement: 9/10 <--- 16mm so they're huge! But just like an expanse of black on my eyes with a hint of blue. hahaha
Comfort: 5/10 <-- The size took some getting used to and they're worse than the nudy's for drying out my eyes. ~___~

I would not repurchase.

------------------------------------------------------

NEO DALI EXTRA BROWN

These lenses are so comfy and natural! But they are really great.  Sure they look natural, but if someone's known you for a while they'll notice when you wear them!

Here are some photos!


A nice indoor lighting shot of them.  You can see a hint of brown but I bought these because they looked natural but still noticeable!

Sorry for the almost up-nose shot of my boyfriend HA HA


A pro shot of me wearing them!  And again with my no.6 dolly winks~ I love them very much.

As for comfort, these are almost on par with the Geo tricolors which is a pleasant surprise really! Considering these actually enlarge. I rarely use eyedrops for this pair of lenses!

Color: 8/10 <--- They could be a brighter brown. I did want something a bit lighter, but the photos were a bit inaccurate.  Or maybe my eyes are just really really dark ha ha.
Enlargement: 7/10 <-- Not too freaky! I can wear these without makeup and be alright. Not get weird stares.  >A<
Comfort: 9/10 Great! But sometimes I get a little dry. Not dry enough for eyedrops though~




Aghhh that was such a huge blog post.  Sorry for so much to read but I figure that if I can even help one person with this post it'll be worth it!

Until next time!

I bought the limited set of Dolly Winks that tsubasa recently released and they should be here within the next week or so! I can't wait to get them! So until next time~

  1. I see me :D LOL

    The 3-tone green looks like your natural colour O: O_O It does look like you took someone elses eyes out ROFL
    Your Super Nudy Blue didn't show up that well? Mine does for some reason O_O I think it's because mine was EOS xP Heheh;;

    When the contacts dry your eyes, it could be because of the solution you are using. O_O Cause my eyes were like that.

    Thanks for the reviews Devin~~ All of the contacts look beautiful on you~~! <3

  2. LOL YES cameo >D

    I KNOW RIGHT? I was so surprised by these lenses! I'm just sad their diameter is so ....average haha

    Ohh no it's the solution my optometrist recommended me and even if I wear normal contacts it's like that. Even with glasses on my eyes are dry <--- that's really sad Q__Q

    you're very welcome! Even though you are probably more knowledgeable in contact lens lore than I! ha ha <3

  3. I've been looking for a pair of natural brown lenses too so I might give the Neo Dali a try too! Thanks for the reviews :D

    I love Dollywink's lower lashes~ they look really natural so I use rather often too >w<

  4. Not a problem! It was my pleasure <3 Neo Dali looks so natural imo sometimes I forget I have them in so they're great for no makeup days too haha <-- lazy days/school days |||

    They're my first pair of lower lashes but I can't believe what a difference they make. I love using the first two for normal makeup days just at the outer corner of my bottom lashes for subtle looks haha
    I bet they look even better on you since your eyes are so cute/dolly :D
