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.

I was excited at first getting these because they boasted a 16.50mm diameter with a 17.50 mm effect. I had been looking for lenses bigger than my Geo Princess Mimi Green Apple and I was hoping these would do the trick. Wrong! I soon find out that these are only 14.5 mm and noticeable so. Compared to my Princess Mimi lenses, they are obviously smaller. That was pretty disappointing. Also, they make me look a bit cross eyed sometimes, like my eyes are looking in different directions.

However, what I do love about these lenses are the vibrant color. I get so many compliments because people just instantly notice my eyes. Yes, they are that blue! They are just so beautiful in any kind of light. Because they are smaller, they look very natural even with the most minimal makeup. Also, they are super comfortable. Great for everyday use.

The blue shows through in any type of light. I've been camera whoring with these the most, obviously. I have the puffy 3 tone gray ones unopened still so I'll see which color I like better. But definitely, I would consider buying these lenses again.
