I am a big fan of GEO lenses so I was really eager to get these lenses. In terms of lenses within the GEO brand, I do believe these are the closest to one of my favorite lenses, GEO Princess Mimi Sesame Grey. So that's why I have been very eager to try them. Not to mention, I trust the GEO brand and I have never had a problem with the many GEO brand lenses that I've tried.
Uniqso always has such cute packaging. I always plan my orders so that I can have free standard shipping. They arrive usually in 3-4 weeks and always come with a tracking number. The lens containers are safely insulated within the boxes. I am a loyal customer to Uniqso because they have great customer service and always respond quickly to my messages. GEO, in particular, has an anti-fake sticker on their lenses which has a code that you can check online to see if you have real GEO lenses.
Cafe Mimi is a branch of the larger GEO medical brand, which also includes the Princess Mimi branch. The Cafe Mimi Waffle has a base curve of 8.7 mm while the diameter is 15 mm, which I believe is the largest diameter of lenses that GEO offers. The water content is 38% while the replacement period is 12 months. These lenses are considered two tone. The lenses are available from plano to -6.00. The lenses cost $23.90 per pair, which is a bit more expensive than most lenses. The Mimi series lenses are usually more expensive than most lenses. The Cafe Mimi series has five other lenses including 3 colors of Cappuccino, Macchiato, and Latte. Sounds delicious, doesn't it?
Color&Design
The design is very pretty and I do love how it has the brown part in the middle. However, just like most other GEO lenses, it is very dark once you put them on and the design is not all that noticeable. The two pictures below show the lenses in direct sunlight and with a camera flash. As you can see, the brown design in the middle isn't really noticeable once you put them on. The lenses do appear on the eyes as very dark gray.
Enlargement
After having worn 14.5mm lenses for so long, I felt so dolly with these 15mm lenses. The thick limbal ring also helps with the dolly effect. These lenses are seriously enlarging and I love it. Definitely have to wear these with makeup though since I look like an alien otherwise.
Comfort
These are quite comfortable. I can wear them up to 8 hours with no problems.
Overall
Although the color isn't very opaque or bright, I just really love the enlargement of these lenses. It's been a long time since I looked this dolly. I can definitely get away with minimal makeup with these lenses however I cannot get away with no makeup. So a con for me would be these can't be everyday lenses. Still, I would definitely purchase these again and just keep them as special occassion lenses since I do feel super cute when I have them on.
Expect more circle lens reviews to come! I ordered quite a haul from Uniqso for my birthday. I ordered six lenses for only $80.45 with free shipping! Quite a steal, don't you think? If you plan on ordering from Uniqso, enter my friend's discount code "SUY10" for 10% off your purchase. With that discount code, my member points, and Uniqso's monthly promotions, I was able to get $30.50 off the original price of my order! Uniqso really is my go-to place for cheap circle lenses.
