Hello lovelies~ today I am reviewing a pair of lenses kindly sponsored by a new favourite lens selling company ♥ GEO COLOURED LENSES ♥ this review is done a bit late due to my laptop having some technical problems however I am excited to finally share this review!
Today I shall be reviewing GEOS:
So lets get started shall we~?
♥ the packaging ♥
The packaging that the lenses arrived in let me know immediately that my lenses were in there! The packaging was a simple plastic-like parcel that was sealed very tightly to the point I had to use scissors -- maybe it's just because I'm weak?
You cannot see it very well, but the description says "lens case" hmm, wonder what could be inside? I had a feel around before opening the parcel and I felt a very thick parcel inside of it which made me think that the contents inside would be all in one piece! The parcel included:
♥ the lenses (of course!)♥ a free lens case♥ a leaflet on how to take care of your lenses♥ geocolouredlenses card!
The contents when opened were put in a mini easy to open plastic 'bag'. The lenses were wrapped in a thick layering of bubble wrap, and when I say thick I mean very thick! This was good as I knew that my lenses wouldn't be all smashed inside~
Overall I was very content with the packaging as a whole and can I mention the shipping time was extremely fast?
♥ the lens ♥
Now as per usual I will rate lenses based on COLOUR, COMFORT, AND ENLARGEMENT + a bonus review on the company that has sponsored me based on PACKAGING, NAVIGATION, AND SERVICE and then an overall on both sections~ so lets continue onto my favourite part~!
The lenses, when unwrapped from the bubble wrapping, looked like this. As you can see on the bottle they both have a GEO AUTHENTICATION UNIQUE CODE which I can tap into the official GEO website in order to authenticate whether or not the lenses were real - therefore I can say this site sells authentic GEO lenses so they are 100% real!
♥ colour ♥
These pictures were all taken on a cloudy day with little sun, therefore they are not as bright as they would be in broad daylight! These lenses may not be as red as some other red lenses however I chose the "light" red option due to not wanting an overpowering red in the first place! The site also sells a "deep red" colour by the same make/company so if you would like to purchase them then do it~! However, these lenses were alot more red than I expected and I did not expect them to show well on my eyes! But look, they do! So I was very surprised ~ (pictures are unedited to get a true look at the colour!)
These lenses for me are perfect for a halloween night when I want to wear a unnatural colour, but don't want to go round freaking people out!
♥ comfort ♥
These lenses were super comfy and did not irritate my eyes at all! One of my main concerns whilst wearing lenses is the fear of it drying my eyes out but with these I truly felt confident with them in and did not worry about it at all! (apart from the stares in public but who cares~) The lens diameter is 14.2mm which made the lenses extremely easy to apply to my eyes and the high water content (38~42%) assured that it would sit and stay in my eyes very nicely as they did not dry up quickly!
There was one pair of lenses that my mother's friend purchased with a water content of 22~25% and it caused her eyes to become extremely itchy and ended up scratching her eyes. If you do have dry eyes, please carry around re-wetting lens drops or purchase a high water content lens such as these! Do not damage your eyes!
♥ enlargement ♥
The enlargement for these lenses were not massively noticeable however they did indeed make my eyes look more round! I would say these lenses are more for the colour effect over an enlarging effect but you probably gathered that! There is a black ring around the lenses that I think is the reason for the enlarging effect, as it adds more depth to my eyes. Also, these lenses gave my eyes a beautiful twinkle effect that make my eyes have an animated-like effect to it. I definitely recommend these lenses to anyone who is cosplaying someone with red eyes and are not looking for a "massive eye" effect! There are other lenses at their store that can provide you for that sort of stuff so go check them out!
♡how to care for lenses♡
PLEASE CHECK: expiry date when you receive/buy your lenses!
The expiry date indicates whether the SOLUTION that your lens are in has expired, NOT the lens itself.
Basic Care for Your Circle Lenses:
DON’T
-DO NOT wear them straight after you open them. Place in fresh lens cleansing solution and let soak for at least 4 hours.
-DO NOT sleep with them on under any circumstances!
-While wearing them, try to avoid rubbing your eyes. The lenses could fall out, or get stuck somewhere in your eyes (not trying to scare you, but keep it in mind)
-DO NOT apply with long nails for the first few times you try to wear them. This way you can reduce any chance of you damaging your eyes whilst trying to apply (since they are extremely fiddly!)
DO
-After taking them out, always put back in FRESH solution. After the first time, you only have to soak them for 1-2 hours before wearing again.
-Be sure to thoroughly wash your hands before you put the lenses in and take them out.
- Carry your lens case with fresh solution in it with you whenever you wear your lenses, so you can take them out at any time.
- Carry around re-wetting drops so you can apply some to your eyes if they feel dry at any time!
♥ overall opinions ♥
THE SITE
The site caught my eye as soon as I checked out their page - in other words I absolutely loved it. I am very picky on the layouts on sites so I think you should definitely check them out! I'm not just saying that the layout is the only good thing at all, the customer service was amazing too. Their service came with high quality communication between the buyer and the staff along with their replies coming back to you within 24 hours! When asking about being sponsored they gave me to-the-point instructions making it very easy and clear to understand. They then e-mailed me when they had sent the lenses and I received them within approximately 10 days, being earlier than what I had expected! This is why they are now one of my favourite lens store and I will definitely purchase from here in the future!
They are a reliable source of lenses and I am sure that my eyes will be safe and happy with the lenses they provide too. The selection in lenses are super broad and they always have AMAZING SALES! For example the lenses I got sponsored were previously £20.46 now reduced down to £12.61 LIKE WHAT THE?! My friends had purchased the GEO DIAMOND BLUE lenses elsewhere for £19.99 at a stool and when checking on here they are selling it for only £13.82. Good lenses and good price. Buy your lenses from here~!

THE LENSES
Personally, I am in love with these lenses. They are not too overpowering for me which is what I was looking for and therefore I was super happy! I will definitely be using these on days out to a fancy dress party or during a cosplay! The colour is not that vibrant but that is fine by me as stated earlier, I was not looking for lens to overpower my eyes. A super animated effect with a sense of it blending slightly in with my natural eye colour made it look somewhat "realistic" and that was a plus for me! Alot of people asked "they ARE lenses.. right?" Meaning that they weren't 100% sure whether or not my red eyes were real or not!
I absolutely love these and I would love to repurchase these when these expire! I would 100% recommend these beautiful lenses to you and thank you so much GEOCOLOUREDLENSES for providing me with these beauties!
