KLENSPOP ♡ SPONSORED REVIEW [XTRA B95 GRAY]

♡ KLENSPOP - SPONSORED REVIEW [XTRA B95 GRAY] ♡image


image
Hello everyone ~ I am back once again with another lens review sponsored by the amazing ♥ KLENSPOP ♥
TODAY I SHALL BE REVIEWING GEOS:
image
image
image
So lets get started~!
image
♡ the packaging ♡
First of all, the packaging that the lens and contents came in were in a box, so I thought it was something else that I had ordered online! However to my surprise once I opened it, it was my lenses! Lenses being delivered in a box? What a surprise! That definitely added a star on packaging as I knew that the contents inside were safe and stable! 
image

As you can see, all the contents are tightly wrapped in bubble wrap, so tight in fact that I had to use scissors to cut it open! Therefore I knew that everything inside will be undamaged and all ready to use inside! But what surprised me most of all is the contents that they had sent me along with my lenses which I did not expect at all! From the above picture I am sure you can see 3 different things in the picture! These 3 things are: 
♡ The lenses (obviously)
♡ Eye drops
♡ An adorable lens case
When unwrapped this is what the 3 things looked like unopened/unused!
image

The eye drops that they gave me was a large size! Like usually the eye drops I buy are in super small bottles but the one KLENSPOP provided me with was way larger! (No I do not mean like a massive bottle but compared to what I usually get, it is definitely big!) The lens case as you can see is just adorable and the GEO lens that they gave me were packaged in their own box and had a unique serial number included so that I knew they were genuine! 5/5 stars definitely for packaging and content! I am so awed~
~Here is a closer look at the lens case in case you wanted to see what it looks like inside~
image
image
Can you see the patterns on the lenses? They were extremely pretty and I absolutely could not wait to try them on~ keep on reading! 
image
♡ the lens ♡
So as you may or may not know I rate the lenses that are given to me 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 on~!
image
image
COLOUR
image
The following pictures are of my eyes all on a cloudy day! As you can see the colour is not extremely vibrant or anything but I did not choose these for a vibrant colour, I wanted these mostly for a natural look compared to the other lenses I have. In my opinion these lenses are very mesmerizing in a way that it gives a very animated doll look. I say this because the lenses seem to take away some of the shine and glimmer I have with my natural eyes, making it perfect for a doll or lifeless cosplay! Overall, the colour in real life looks natural and the black rim around the lens help to obtain that natural look! The patterns that are present on the lens do not show up much on my eyes, however my eyes are a dark brown so they may show up on lighter eyes! I would definitely wear these on a night out!
image
image
COMFORT
These lenses were extremely comfortable to put in and spend the day out in! As you can see, the lenses have a HIGH OXYGEN PERMEABILITY. Why is this a good thing? A high oxygen permeability means that oxygen can easily diffuse through the lenses and therefore your lens/eyes won't dry up as fast! This is super beneficial~ there is also the "hydrogel material" which changes shape in response to the environment that you are in. You replace these lenses after 1 year and it assures you that the lens are sterile too! All of these factors makes it obvious as to why these lenses are super comfortable for my eyes and I would definitely love to repurchase these after a year! These also feel very thin unlike other lenses I have tried, which is why I love GEO lenses in general! Thank you KLENSPOP! These lenses are also one of the larger diameter ones and they are still super comfy!

INFO
♡Lens diameter: 14.8mm 
♡Base curve radius: 8.8mm 
♡Center Thickness: 0.04mm - 0.13mm 
♡Water Content: 38% - 42% 
♡Expiry: after one year
image

Another thing! One of my friends had swollen eyes when trying out a pair of circle lenses she got from a different company. We found out that the reason for this was because the lens she was given was EXPIRED! So make sure to always check the expiry date before purchasing or applying the lens to your eyes!
image

ENLARGEMENT
image
Apart from the super scary look and my massive eyes in this photo, you should be able to tell the LARGE ENLARGEMENT IN MY EYES! I mean look at them! These lenses would make any eye shape or size pop into round dolly eyes in an instant! When I put these on I was shocked at the enlargement factor ~ these are my biggest lenses that I have on me and I really didn't think it would enlarge them this much, however it proved me wrong! The quality of these lenses are beautiful and I will definitely be using these for future cosplays as it gives me those super round mesmerizing eyes!

♡how to care for lenses♡
image
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.
image
Basic Care for Your Circle Lenses: 
image
DON’T
image
-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!)
image
DO
image
-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 ♡
OVERALL OPINION OF THE SITE: 
The site was very easy to get around and I absolutely loved the overall layout of the site! It was very eyecatching and I just fell in love with the site in an instant. I am a very picky person when it comes to websites so I really think you should check them out! Customer service was also amazing. When I first asked about the sponsorship it was very easy to talk to them, they made it very clear about what sort of review they wanted and that if I could make a good review they would happily sponsor me. Voila. Within the next 3 days they had shipped the lenses I had asked for and they always replied within 24 hours to any questions I may have. Communication was excellent and they replied to every one of my mails! 100% recommended for their friendly service!
I would definitely repurchase from here as I know they are a reliable source of lenses! My lens came super quick, it only took about one week when they estimated longer than that!  The selection is quite broad and they do have lens on prescription as well! They sell authentic lenses and THOSE FREEBIES THEY GIVE YOU ARE JUST PRECIOUS! They always have such good sales, I am definitely recommending this site to my friends!

OVERALL OPINION OF THE LENSES:
These lenses were just beautiful, on and off the eyes! The lens give you a large enlargement factor making it perfect for cosplays or if you just want mesmerizing eyes in general, you will definitely get attention from them even though the colour looks natural! I did not expect them to be vibrant coloured so the colour does not really bother me but these have to be one of my favourite lenses so far as they are so comfortable and adorable! They take away some of the glimmer in my eyes so I think i will use these in the future if I am going to cosplay a vampire or witch etc. Either that or I am just going to wear these out on a night out~ I absolutely love these and anyone looking for a grey pair of enlarging lenses, I would 100% recommend these to you! Thank you KLENSPOP for providing me with these sweeties~

[REVIEW - SPONSORED LENS FROM PINKYPARADISE ♡ EOS DOLLY EYE PINK]

image

image
hello there lovelies~ today I am proud to be able to review PINKYPARADISE'S sponsored pair of lens and would be very grateful if you would check out their store! 
today I am here to review the amazing "EOS DOLLY EYE PINK" which would be amazing for any pink eyed anime character cosplay due to its hypnotic and bright pink effect!
image
♡the packaging♡
first of all can I say that the lenses arrived EXTREMELY quickly, only taking a week, if that. the estimated time they said it would take was around a week and a bit, but it arrived after the fourth day!
in my opinion the packaging that the lenses came in was very good and I could tell that my lenses inside would be 100% okay and in good condition. here was what the packaging looked like:
image

the third picture is what the contents inside looked like, it included a FREE ADORABLE ANIMAL LENS CASE, a velcro hair thing to keep your hair out of the way (shall show later) and guess what is inside the pink wrapping? you guessed it, the lenses! 
here are pictures of all the things individually:
image

as you can see, the mini foam pillow which contains the lenses is firmly and thickly packed to make sure that they are not damaged whilst on the journey to your doorstep! the black velcro thing comes in two pieces, just simply brush your stray hairs out of your face using the rough side to keep your hair back like so!
image

and voila~! hair is all out of your face (★ゝω・)b⌒☆ it is totally handy when you are doing other things too! such as applying makeup or washing your face etc, so make good use out of it ^.^!
image
♡the lenses♡
I was absolutely awed by how the lenses first looked when I looked at the bottle! they looked such a vibrant pink, exactly how I wanted! here have a look:
image

the bottle is also a very pretty pink and is very eyecatching so that is also a plus for the packaging of the actual lenses! ヾ(。◕ฺ∀◕ฺ)ノ as you can see these lenses are plano lenses having 0.00 on the top of the casing, although the store does do prescribed lenses! so hey that is also a plus!
image

in these set of photos you can see the pink a bit more due to the white background from the bottom of the lens case! for those who do not know how to open a bottle of lens just look for an arrow on the top and pull that part of metal down and then just twist off the top - I am not very good at explaining so please look up on youtube if you do not know how~ although I am sure you will figure it out uwu!
image
♡colour♡
image
image
image
image

as you can see from the images above the colour change is very noticeable! the colour really amazed me as I put in the lenses as I really did not expect the colour change to be this different! I mean I did expect some sort of colour change but not this drastic! it is not a problem for me as I wanted to cosplay a vampire however if you are looking for a natural look, these contacts are not for a natural look (however there are many more alternative of pink lenses on pinkyparadise so please do check them out!) 
so I have very dark eyes as you can also see, so I can imagine that the lenses would appear brighter (if that is possible) on any lighter shade of eyes! these are taken in natural lighting and even in dim lighting they appear extremely bright. the dark ring around the edges of the lenses make the colours contrast and make the pink pop out even more! so these lenses would be perfect for anyone who wants a bright pink colour for their costume or cosplay!
image
♡comfort♡
these lenses felt a bit thick on my eyes, but after a while I did get used to it! these are my second pair of circle lenses ever so maybe that also adds to how comfortable or not I find a pair of lenses! overall however, I would say that these are relatively comfortable however I would not be able to wear it for long durations as I have also found that my eyes dry quicker with these. on the other hand, that is not really a large problem as long as you have eye drops and know when to take them out! also, my eyes are extremely sensitive so when I did put these on I can tell you that my eyes were not affected in any negative way (e.g: redness or itchiness) so I do say that they are gentle on the eyes unlike other colour lens brands!
image
♡enlargement♡
these lenses do not have such an enlarging effect however that is because when I was looking for these lenses I did not look for enlargement as a main factor! although, there is some enlargement to the eyes, mostly achieved due to the black ring around the pink! I do not recommend these if you are looking for a massive enlargement however I do recommend these if you are looking for a dolly like/vampire-ish look! however as I did say earlier, I was not looking for enlargement as a main factor and instead I was looking for a pop-out colour! nevertheless, on pinkyparadise they do have a category specially for enlarging lenses and therefore you can visit their site and simply select the "enlarging" category and BOOM, you have a large selection to choose from and many colours too!
these lenses do add a certain twinkle to my eye and a lot of mesmerizing detail which make my eyes look extremely cartoon-like. my friends and family ask me where to get these lenses due to the "animated" effect that they give off! hence why these lenses are perfect for cosplay in my opinion!

♡overall opinion♡
OVERALL OPINION OF THE SITE: the site was super easy to navigate around and I was in awe about how pretty the site was! the customer service is superb and interaction between customer and pinkyparadise is amazing! they really helped me understand what I had to do in order to be considered for the sponsorship and when I told them that I had to delay the review due to hospitalisation they were truly understanding and told me to "take my time!" they kept communication with me throughout the days I had any questions about meeting the requirements for their sponsorship! what more could you want from a site?
if you want to purchase a pair of lenses I truly recommend this site due to high quality customer service and reasonable sponsorship requirements! the selection in the store is so large I am sure no matter what colour, effect, diameter or prescription of your eyes you will definitely find a pair that is perfect just for you! I would definitely purchase from here if I need a pair of lenses!
it was truly a pleasure to be sponsored by such a wonderful company and I would love to do this again one day~

OVERALL OPINION OF THE LENSES: these lenses are absolutely beautiful and adds an amazing mesmerizing effect to your eyes! the colour is so bright and I could not have asked for any more in these pair of lenses, they were exactly what I was looking for! honestly, I did not expect them to be so bright but they proved me wrong completely! I adore and am inlove with the way these lenses have coloured my eyes and have added an animated effect to it, making them stand out and look like they would glow in the dark if you switched off the lights! even in dim lighting their colour really does show through and stand out. I would probably use these lenses if I was ever to cosplay Yuno Gasai or any other pink haired anime character~ I would 100% purchase from here even if I am not sponsored from them as these lenses have set an amazing first impression on what they can offer! I am so grateful towards pinkyparadise for providing me with these jewels~!
