Kimchi Bambi Grey

I was eager to get these lenses because they looked so beautiful. I had a hard time choosing between this one and the Princess Mimi Sesame Grey because they looked so similar. Well, since it was Christmas time and Uniqso was having such a good deal, I decided to get both. Then I can see for myself which one I liked better. Another lens kind of similar to this is Dolly Eye (EOS) Cookie Grey. The price per piece was $10.90, making a pair cost $21.80. The brand Kimchi is also known as SUNnBON or Vassen apparently. I had never heard of them before so I was a little apprehensive of getting these lenses at first but I decided I might as well try the brand.

Color&Design
Oh my gosh, these lenses are so pretty. I was a bit skeptical at first because the color looked so sheer in the vial and I didn't think it would show up nicely on dark eyes. I was wrong. These show up wonderfully on dark eyes and are definitely eye catching. I've had a lot more people compliment me about these lenses in public compared to my Princess Mimi sesame grey because they really do beg to be noticed. When I was thinking of purchasing these lenses, a lot of people told me that the golden brown part in the middle is a lot brighter and more noticeable than the princess mimi. I thought it would overpower the grey but it doesn't. Both colors are very noticeable. The top picture is in the daylight without flash while the bottom picture is with flash.

Enlargement
It is listed to be 16mm but I don't really believe that any lenses are 16mm. When I try to look up these lenses, I usually come across Vassen Bambi Queen Grey, which may or may not be the same thing but they do look the same in the pictures. Those lenses are listed as 14.5mm. The bottom picture is comparing the lens to GEO princess mimi sesame grey, which is 15mm. I do believe the two are the same diameter.

Comfort
These lenses are very comfortable. I can wear them all day without trouble at all. They have a much higher water content (55%) than most lenses I've tried. I've been told that these higher water contents are better for those with dryer eyes. I don't have dry eyes so I don't see much of a difference in the comfort than my other lenses. However, the golden rule of comfort for me is that if you can't feel them, then they are working correctly. I think if you can feel your lenses, there might be something wrong.

In my opinion, these lenses offer the best combination of vibrant color and enlargement. All lenses are usually comfortable for me but in many cases, vibrant color is sacrificed for enlargement and the most enlarging lenses usually don't have vibrant designs and colors. These are the most enlarging vibrant lenses I have tried and might just be my new favorite.

Barbie Diamond 3 tone Grey

I got these lenses because Uniqso was having a deal where per piece was only $4.90, making a pair only $9.80! That was too good of a deal to pass up. I just had to buy these. Plus, I had a pretty good experience with the Barbie brand before so I didn't really have any hesitations in getting these lenses.

The normal price per piece is $7.90, making a pair cost $15.80, which still isn't bad. That's a lot less expensive than most other lenses. The brand Barbie is part of the better known brand Dueba, which sells a lot of other lenses.

Design & Color
The design is very cool and eye catching. It definitely makes your eyes sparkle. There are hints of red and black but I don't really see much of the gray. This is not a lens that is made to look natural. It is very unnatural in terms of the design and the red accents. It is something people will definitely notice.

Enlargement
They seem larger than the barbie puffy 3 tone series I have tried mostly because the lenses are darker, making them look more enlarging. These lenses boast a 16.5mm diameter with a 17.5mm effect. However, I wouldn't at all believe that they are that large. I would say they are about as enlarging as some 14.8mm and 15mm lenses that I have tried before. In dark environments, it looks like the lenses are black and therefore gives you an eerie dolly eyed look.

Comfort
Like all the other Barbie brands I have tried, these lenses are super comfortable. I can wear them all day long and I don't even notice them in. Honestly, I think that if that isn't how your lens feel to you, then they might have something wrong with them. But yes, barely noticeable. It doesn't move or shift around to block my vision or anything.

A similar lens that I wouldn't mind trying is the Dolly Eye (EOS) Ariale Grey. Another lens that is quite similar to these in design also is the GEO Xtra WTB35 Grey or Diamond Grey. I took a chance on these lenses because they were on sale and although they are really nice, I prefer more natural looking designs. These lenses are great but I wouldn't buy them again.

Barbie Puffy 3 tones Grey

With these lenses, I bought them because Uniqso was having a deal where a pair only cost $9.80! The deal was just too good to pass up. Not to mention, I had seen pretty good reviews on the lenses. I really did want to try them. I got these along with the puffy 3 tone blue when I purchased it. I had never tried blue lenses before so I decided to use the blue ones first. With how wonderfully the blue turned out to be, I was excited to see how the gray would look. Gray is my favorite color for circle lenses.

So normally, these lenses are priced at $7.90 per piece, which makes a pair cost $15.80. Every so often, Uniqso will have a deal on Barbie lenses so stay on the lookout! The Barbie brand is also part of the more well known Dueba brand, if ever you wanted to research the company a little bit more.

Color&Design
So far, the puffy design has been the most vibrant color I've ever tried. It's so beautiful and definitely catches attention, in a good way of course. I love the blending of the tones with the slightly darker ring with some yellowish streaks in the middle. One of the best in terms of color and design, in my opinion. The color is subtle, but very light.

Enlargement
Enlargement is good, but not great. Most people don't notice the enlargement. It's nothing obvious that makes me look like an alien and I go out without makeup with these lenses. It may say 16.5mm but it's really only 14.5mm. Noticeably smaller than my princess mimi sesame grey lenses, which are 15mm. So I wouldn't doubt that these are not even about 15mm.

Comfort
These are very comfortable. I can wear them all day with no problem, except when it is windy outside. The cold wind can really dry your eyes out. Other than that, the lenses have wonderful comfort. Nothing to complain about there.

I think these may just be one of my new favorite lenses. If only I didn't look so crazy in pictures when the lenses are looking different directions. All lens do that though. Another lens that have a similar design that I wouldn't mind trying is the Dolly Eye (EOS) puffy 3 tone grey.

Which do you like better?

Princess Mimi Sesame Grey

I have been looking forward to getting these lenses for a while now. I had the princess mimi apple green before but I just wasn't satisfied with it and green isn't really my color in terms of contacts. I wanted this color but they didn't have it in stock in my prescription at the time.

I got this pair from Uniqso. I took advantage of their Christmas special, which included free standard shipping for orders over $30 and a special mystery gift on orders over $50. It was a pretty awesome deal. I love the site and the owner is super quick with replies to your questions. So here is the information provided by the site on the lenses:

The price of a piece is $11.90, making a pair cost $23.80. This pair may seem pretty pricey but I find them to be well worth it. Not to mention, I find GEO to be a very trustworthy brand. You can check the authenticity of your GEO lenses here.

I just love the Uniqso packaging boxes. They are so cute!

Color & Design
I love the gray. I thought it would too dark to be noticeable like the other gray GEO lenses I've tried but that isn't the case! I love the princess design with the dark limbal ring reaching inwards through the gray. I love how it transitions into a yellowish gold in the middle. I think it's absolutely beautiful.

Enlargement
GEO 15mm lenses are the most enlarging lenses  have tried so far. They do make me look very dolly. I've only tried one other lens that boasted above a 15mm diameter but that just wasn't true.

Comfort
Oh my gosh, so comfortable! Which is weird because the green ones, being the same brand and type, just a different color, had terrible comfort. When I tested how long these lenses can stay comfortable, they lasted well over 12 hours! (very bad by the way, don't do that) I barely felt a thing all day until the very end when I started to get sleepy and my eyes would naturally get dry.

Now here are some cam-whore pics.

-----Comparison-----
Anyway, here are some side by side comparisons of the Princess Mimi Sesame Grey with the Princess Mimi Green Apple. I personally like sesame grey better, but if green lenses are your thing, green apple is a great choice!

Heterochromia? Lol I wish. I am wearing apple green in one eye and sesame gray in the other. Can you tell? I can barely tell. They do look very similar from far away, especially in dimmer settings. You can only really tell close up.

Base Curve: 8.7
Duration: 1 year disposable
Purchased from: fobbybarbie

These are the biggest lenses I have ever bought. Got them on a whim because they came with free shipping. I had been eyeing this series for a while then. They are nice and big. Not as big as I had hoped they would be. Gosh, they seemed so big on the pictures and stuff. However, I'm still looking for something bigger (my endless search to find circle lenses big enough to satisfy me).

The color is not as vibrant as it seems. It's actually quite dark and you don't really see it unless you are in a place that is very well lit or taking a picture with flash. I was kind of disappointed in that. I was hoping for something a little bit more vibrant. But by chance that you do get the color, it is quite nice. I like how it is a little yellow in the middle. I think that's unique. I do like the limbal ring being visible so that's a pro.

These lenses actually aren't as comfortable as I hoped. They last maybe a few hours but definitely not as long as the other ones I have worn, which is pretty disappointing. I say maybe 6 hours, but definitely not longer than that. So I can't really wear them to school because I would never last through the day.

Like I said before, although my favorite color is green, I'm just not a fan of green lenses. It was too bad they didn't have my prescription of the sesame gray ones when I ordered. Oh well. I'm totally buying the gray ones next time.
