EOS Adult Series J-203

I recently ordered a pair of EOS Adult Series J-203 in Grey. They are the new current pattern.In case some weren't aware the origional Adult lens pattern was discontinued. I am unsure why myself but can't help but think the inconsistancies of opacity in some batches and off references to colors of the lenses may play some part. While my Green Adult Lenses are no more I opted not ot order my origional shades. Their origional Green was a very seafoam aqua blue shade. Their new Green is well Green. Their Brown does look appealing but I still have a perfectly good rarely worn pair in the old pattern which I do like better tone wise. I opted for the Grey. Not only does the color look great, the new pattern does as well. I will post a review and pics as soon as the lenses arrive. They have shipped so now it's simply a matter of waiting. I do apologize but the site I ordered from didn't have any stock advertisement pics so I won't be posting any of those at this time.

The Eyes Of The Gods

The title says it all. One Goddess in particular comes to mind...VENUS.. The goddess of love. For centuries big, wide, innocent, childlike eyes have been seen asa doting image of being "lovestruck". Sometime ago lens manufacturer Marietta Vision developed a lens called Venus. These lenses aimed at giving "Goddess like eyes" are made with the intention of not only creating the illusion of a different eye color. They are made with the intent of creating big, doey, innocent, childlike, "lovestruck" eyes. These can be a breath of fresh air in a lens market where the main option for this effect is circle lenses. Which while they have their appeal don't necessarily create the most desired results. Venus lenses come in six different colors: Slate Grey, Pacific Blue, Ice Blue, Leaf Green, Violet, and Amber. I have owned every shade with the exception of Violet and Pacific Blue. I currently however only have 3 shades in my collection....Slate Grey, Ice Blue and Amber.

Slate Grey:








Ice Blue: (One of my personal favorites from this line)







Amber:(The best lens of the line)









Amber is by far the most realistic shade of Amber I've ever seen in a lens. Unlike most Amber/Honey/Hazel lenses which simply look orange these actually look Amber. They also seem to blend wonderfully with a multitude of eye colors. I will be posting close up pictures of Amber soon. The lenses are reasonably priced at most online vendors. I personally recommend www.1-Save-On-Lens.com and http://Color-My-Eyes.com The latter actually sells them very cheap by the pair reguardless of the rx for each eye. They are sold as 3 month replacement lenses but can be worn for 12 months if cared for and worn responsibly. Unlike many circle lenses they are also readily available in corrective powers and ship quickly. Since they're made in the US they're also readily available in the US and Canada. (If you live in Canada it will cost more per lens but I would recommend www.1-Save-On-Lens.com as they have a Canadian branch and warehouse. You'll save on shipping and won't have to wait for them to be processed through customs). Sorry for the blah post. I will be doing another review soon on some recently discontinued disposable lenses. Stay tuned!

Elegant with Elegance:Light Blue

Well I am here with what is possibly my new Holy Grail lens...Unfortunatly it's been discontinued for over a year now. That is Elegance by Ciba Vision. I will bore you with the details of the branding in another post. In the mean time I will share my joy.

First things first..The close ups:





Full face shot's showing their awesomeness:















These are beyond gorgeous and captivating. They have rotated my previous holy grail lens (Natural Touch by Coopervision...also discontinued and to be reviewed shortly). I was very fortunate to snag a sealed, non expired pair of these in my perscription and am in awe of them. More pics and a better review will be coming soon. Stay tuned.

Brilliantly Blue....

Long time no write...I have had a crazy schedule and social life and have not had time to update lately...Can you tell I'm a king of run-on sentences?! I digress. I went out with some friends Saturday and decided to snap some photos after washing my face while getting ready. The lense I wore out have been frequently worn lately. They are FreshLook Colorblends in Brilliant Blue. They're one of three new colors from the Vibrant Views shades added to the line last year.

















Sorry about the quality of the pics. I am neither a professional photographer nor am I an expert or owner in photoshop. They were comfortable, had decent visual aquity and got quite a few compliments so they did their job. That's really it for now..I have a more sophisticated review coming up soon so stay tuned!

Rainbow Complete NEW YORK contact lenses

I recently embarked on a trip to New Jersey with a couple of my friends. Amongst some great tax free shopping we grabbed up some lenses. They are from a brand called Rainbow Complete NEW YORK.The brand is owned by parent company Fine&Clear and the lenses are manufactured in Korea by a company called THEG INC. (Never heard of them prior). The brand has 7 different styles of lenses each with their own varying colors and patterns. Naturals which is a line of 1 Tone lenses. Illusions which is a line of 2 Tone lenses. Mistys which is a 3 Tone line. Blendys which is also a 3 Tone Line. Smokeys which is 1 Tone. Cocktails which is 2 Tone, and Krazys which is their special effects line. They were purchased at a beauty supply in Jersey City somwehere between 48th and 59th street. Can't remember the exact location. They were pretty much $30.00 everywhere and most of the BSS had the entire collection or a majority of them. I have seen some of the other lenses on my friends since and I plan on purchasing a few more at the end of the summer when we go back. I purchased a lens from the Mistys line. The shade is Caribbean. While it's supposed to be a 3 Toned lens it imho is more of a 2 Toned lens. In the package/lens case they do favor a brand called Expressions by Coopervision. On the eye in talking distance though they favor Natural Touch by Coopervision and Elegance by Ciba Vision. Here are some pics of the lenses. I do apologize as they were taken after having a shower and washing my face with a new brand upon arriving home from the tanning salon.

REVIEW:

Overall I like them. They're comfortable, cheap and create a dramatic yet decent effect. I don't like the fact that like many other lenses that appear great (Pacifica comes to mind) they only seem to come in plano. Another downside is I've done quite some researching on these lenses since I've purchased them and even on their homepage http://fineandclear.com I can't seem tot ell if they are available in corrective parameters or not. If anyone can find these lenses online,a nd even better in corrective powers please let me know. So wht do you think? Are there some other lenses in their line that intrigue you and you'd like to try or see on someone? LEt me know in the comment box.

just a little update.

Sorry for the late update. I have been super busy. I will be posting lots of pics and reviews between now and Tuesday as I finally have some vacation time. Since I am back to working one job I will also be updating more. Thanks to those who follow my ramblings for having patience!

New Update Coming Soon

I have some updates coming soon! I have been busy but I have not been ignoring my blog. I have recently purchased some new lenses and received a new pair as a gift. Pics will be posted as long as a review of some lenses everyone has probably either tried or seen. Will be posting them very soon!
