Sakura Eyes

[Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. I received the product for a review purpose, but the opinions are my own based on my experience.]

Anyong haseyo, my dear bumblebees! This is my first time reviewing circle lenses. I hope you'll find this useful and enjoy reading it!

I'm so pleased that Geocolouredlenses.com provided me these two adorable circle lenses from the well-known Korean brand Geo Medical. Mine are from the collection of Xtra Sakura in grey with prescription -2.75.

Now let's talk about the website first. I browsed around their site first to choose which one would fit my eyes the best. I was so captivated to see their huge collection of Geo Medical lenses! Super love it! FYI, Geo Medical is a safe Korean circle contact lens brand. It is the only USFDA (US Food and Drug Administration) approved circle contact lens brand and has also gained ISO and CE (Conformité Européenne) certification.

I have a natural very dark brown eye color, and usually I'll just play safe with the brown or grey lenses. So yeah, this time I'm still playing it safe, choosing a grey colored lens. The main reason why I chose Xtra Sakura Grey is because I was extremely intrigued by the limbal rings.

Let's move on to the packaging! This is what I exactly received when the package arrived at my home.

Here is the secured packaging to protect the lenses.

It's important to buy circle lenses from a trusted seller, because you only have one pair of eyes! All the products from Geocolouredlens are genuine. Each lens vial comes with a sticker with a hidden unique serial code and customers will be able to verify its authenticity on Geo Anti-fake website. Now let me show you how was my lens authentication result!

And here goes one of the results:

Design: 4.5 out of 5
This lens has a really dark thick limbal rings, the black outer ring of the lens, and I mentioned it earlier that was why I chose this because I really like the design. These lenses actually really focus on the enlargement effect, as you can see it doesn't have vibrant pattern to make your eyes sparkle whatsoever. But I believe if you buy the other color, like let's say blue and you have naturally blue eyes. Whoa! That will look so gorgeous!

Enlargement: 4.5 out of 5
As I mentioned before, it has a really dark thick limbal rings, so that the enlargement effect is just great, especially if your eyes aren't as small as mine. I would give a perfect score if only my eyes look bigger naturally. I think my eyes are just too small *coughs* Therefore, the enlargement effect somehow looks too big on me. But, I don't look like a Chinese vampire, do I?

Comfort: 3.5 out of 5
Because this is a yearly disposable lens, so the comfort can't be compared with the monthly one! I am a regular monthly contact lens user and have dry eyes, so I do really realize the differences between them. It is not as comfortable as the monthly ones I regularly wear. However, for a yearly lens, this one is not bad! I wear these lenses for 9 hours with one single drop at each eye at first application and after like 5 hours usage.

Overall: It's an individual preference actually when you talk about the design. However, as I was only expecting for the enlargement effect and dolly looking from these lenses, I can say I am very content with the look. If only it's more comfortable to wear for dry eyes like mine.

Price: USD 22.90 per pair

Lens care tips: Treat your circle lenses gently, wash your hands before application, rinse & disinfect each time you remove them, and dispose them when they start to cause dryness. Even if this lens has yearly lifespan, I won't use it for one year, I'll probably dispose after six months usage. I write the first time usage date of each lens on the back of the lens case (with a sticker and marker of course). I always insert and remove my lens from the left eye too, it has become a habit for me so I won't mix up the left and right lenses. This is the great way to avoid eye infection.

Last but not least, Geocolouredlenses.com offers FREE international shipping and a FREE lens case for each pair of circle contact lenses purchased. They'd even upgrade the shipping to express if you buy 5 pairs!

  10. They look great! I've wanted to try coloured contacts for a while but I need a prescription so it's been difficult to find somewhere that does that but this website looks quite good.

  13. i've always been using geo colored lense since the day i decided to use lense! perhaps my eyes have gotten used to the lense so i dont necessarily feel excessive dryness (3 circle lenses btw, 6 months each use which means i've been using them for a year and half). i personally like lenses that look natural, i don't like it when people go like "are you wearing lenses?" lol it really bothers me tbh lol. this lense doesn't make you look like a chinese vampire lol! it doesn't necessarily look natural but i think it gives your eyes quite a "halo"!

    1. Geo lens so far is the most comfortable yearly lifespan lens that I've ever tried, but the thing about my eyes, they're just so dry even when I don't use lenses :/ Thank you, dear! I'm afraid I'll look scary the limbal rings are quite thick for my eyes hahaha!

  22. I love them! They look very natural. I have a friend who bought some contacts similar to these, but hers were very uncomfortable for her. She was rubbing her eyes all the time, and I felt so bad for her! I think that I will tell her about these, so she can try them. I want to try them too! They look like a fun way to change things up.
