Puffy 3 Tone Violet lenses ( G&G Shinny Violet )

Hi guys. The Violet Puffy 3 tone contacts were actually my very first circle lens purchase even though I reviewed other lenses before them. I bought these from Pinky Paradise. I looked around to see what seemed to be the most reliable place to buy circle lens. Pinky Paradise seemed to be the most recommended. I ordered the violet lens from Pinky paradise and the grey version from Kiwiberry1-collection before the violet ones had arrived. Kiwiberry1 attracted me because of the sales they have which seem to make them a good place to get lenses for even cheaper than other sites. Had I known I wouldn't be crazy about the grey ones I wouldn't have ordered the violet lenses. I prefer lenses that look the most natural possible even if they are an unusual color. I want them to cover my natural eye or blend into it. The pupil hole is a bit larger than I'd like it to be. They do look nice from further away. If you are close enough to have a conversation with someone they will be noticeable.
These lenses took 18 days to arrive. They included a free lens case and a gift which I believe was one of those hair things to pull your hair out of your face. Sorry don't know what they are called but here is a picture.
If you want a better look at the lenses please check out my video on youtube. I have gotten used to pinching the lenses out of my eye but I prefer to move the lens over to the whites of my eye before pinching it out. Most people I've seen on youtube don't do it that way. So it just shows you do get used to it eventually. Thanks for checking out this blog!

G&G GBT Green

Hello Everyone! I've got another review of contacts I purchased online. This time I purchased lenses from Pinky Paradise. This website seems to be highly recommended by many people online for buying circle lenses. I have purchased lenses from them before with no problems. My previous order arrived much faster than this order. It took 24 days to arrive (counting weekends). I also ordered G&G GBT in the color Sky Blue. I'll show those at a later date. I really love the way the lenses blend with my eyes. I think they look very natural. The Puffy 3 tone lenses (see previous review) would have looked more natural if the pupil hole was as small as the GBT lenses.
I will admit I'm still not great at removing contact lenses but I found these more difficult to remove than the puffy 3 tones lenses. Other than that they were very comfortable until they become very dry about 6 or 7 hours into wearing them. It's best to try not to wear contacts too long because they deprive the eye of oxygen which can eventually lead to damage to your eye.
With my purchase from Pink paradise I received 2 gifts an eye mask/patch and one of those things to keep your hair our of your face (sorry don't know what they are called).
I also received 2 lens cases. Keep in mind I bought 2 pairs of lenses. I requested the new macaroon lens cases which they were offering instead of their usual animal lens cases. They quickly ran out and have yet to restock them.
This is what the envelope they sent my lenses looks like if you are curious. They were also wrapped in some extra bubble type of wrapping and came in glass vials. If you want a closer look at the lenses please check out my youtube video.

Puffy 3 Tone Grey lenses ( G&G Shinny Grey )

Hello Everyone, I purchased these lenses from kiwiberry1-collection.com . They arrived in about 2 weeks. I've uploaded a video with a few pictures on youtube.
These are my second pair of circle lenses. The first pair are the Puffy 3 tone in the color violet. I will post pictures of those later on. I was a bit concerned about ordering lenses from a different country and because they are illegal here to sell. Illegal to sell them here but not to own them.
I checked the label to be sure they come from Korea and also looked at the lenses before opening them to make sure there were no visible signs of damage. It is recommended you soak the lenses for a few hours in multipurpose solution before you use them. I did this and the lenses did not irritate my eyes at all. I found it difficult to remove these lenses since you basically have to pinch them while they are on your eyeball to grab them. A long time ago I used freshlook colorblends and I just had to slide these out of my eye, but with these circle lenses this was not possible. They don't slide out of your eye they stay in until you pinch them out. When I wore the Freshlooks I had a prescription but since then my eyes improved and I no longer need a prescription so I ordered my lenses in plano 0.00. I've heard lenses without prescriptions tend to ship faster. So keep that in mind. Kiwiberry1-collection had either a 40% or 50% discount code at time. I can't recall. Shipping was $7 and with the discount my total was just $19 (with shipping). Kiwiberry1-collection seems to have these discounts very frequently. I can't say how their customer service is since I did not contact them but the lenses arrived quickly, 2 weeks isn't too bad. The lenses arrived in a padded envelope with some extra padding (bubble wrap)around the contact lenses's bottles. They also included a free contact lens case.
