Adore Bi Tone Aqua

Sorry it's been awhile. Finally got around to taking some pics of my Adore Bi Tone Aqua. I don't wear them very much. It has nothing to do with their overall tone or blending. In person they blend nicely. They are however bi toned. Due to the natural golden/orange tones my eyes have they look a bit off combination wise at times. The color is gorgeous, but I feel they are a slightly better blending of FreshLook Colorblends Sterling Gray but lacking in that they need a starburst to blend the base/main tone of the lens seamlessy into the wearers eyes if they're not blue or grey or some combination of the two colors. I've received plenty of compliments while wearing them and like my Bi Tone Yellows have not had them pecked as lenses, but rather a "unique/exotic" eye color combination. I personally feel a bit self concious when wearing these. PErhaps it's the pattern, or perhaps it's because I am very nit picky about my blue shades. Either way I do like them but I personally feel I would be more satisfied if I had purchased these in the Tri Tone pattern. Enough of the jabbering... Here's the pics....

Full Face:







Close Ups:









Side Shot:(For the hell of it)



I LOVE their overall effect in the full face shots. While the blending is still very nice, even beyond what I experience pattern wise with other disposable lenses their's something about that up close....demarcation for lack of a better word, that bothers me. Other than that they're super comfortable and the color I achieved I find gorgeous. I do like how these look even in the mirror better than the close ups with my camera. (It's a GM 12.2 megapixel Q1250 whatever all that means). I would recommend them but with the warning that these probably will look best on extremly light, or extremly dark eyes.. I think Tri Tone Aqua and Bi Tone Grey and Hazel will be my next tests in the water with this brand. Hope everyone has a good day! Now I'm off to re watch last nights episode of True Blood! (IS anyone else obsessed with that show?)

Adore Bi Tone

Not long ago I received 2 new pairs of lenses, one of which I will be reviewing today. I broke down and got the Adore Bi Tone lenses in Yellow and Aqua pictured in their color chart below:


This review specifically is for my Yellows. In general I always hope for the best results with semi opaque lenses in this particular shade. Unfortunatly brands like Solotica have let me down in that department. Fortunatly after getting these on a whim Adore has renewed my faith in this shade. So here go the pics!

















Overall they are extremly comfortable. I can wear them for 10-12 hours with no discomfort or redness and seldomly have to rewet them. They last for 3 months with consecutive use (or daily wear). Most of all they're super realistic. In person they look ridiculously natural. Even in photos they look more natural than most lenses. Personally I prefer blue lenses period for my daily wear. These lenses look so gorgeous and natural that I find myself reaching for these 2-3 times a week. They can be subtle in most settings and really vibrant in others. Due to their semi opaque pattern they react to light tonewise just as natural eyes do. They also seem to blend seamlessly.

They currently run $39.44 USD plus shipping at http://www.lensmarketplace.com/ I can't remember my overall total as I ordered a few pairs of lenses from them. They did take about 2.5/3 weeks to arrive. I was aware they would take a little longer as my lenses are prescription and one of the other pairs of lenses I ordered was out of stock.

If asked I would highly recommend these to anyone who wants a natural, realistic lens. I do also stress they keep in mind that like all semi opaque lenses do create a natural result. That being said the result and tone achieved is completly dependant on your natural eye color and your features. Reguardless I would still highly recommend these!

If you would like to see a review on the Grey's just let me know!
