Circle Lens Review: Princess Universe in Moon (Grey)

I'm in a circle lens kick right now! I chucked my Geo Nudy Golden Blue ones in the bin because they started to hurt my eyes. I wore the crap out of those lenses almost every day since I got them which is like 4 months ago. Now I've got a new favorite pair already. They're so vibrant and stunning I just had to review them.

dia: 15.00 mm
BC: 8.6
water contain: 52%
life span: 1 year
made in: Korea

I have reviewed the Mint series from the same Princess brand here. After only a few wears, I've come to resent how those lenses look on me so I never wore them much anymore. I decided to try the Universe series this time because the design reminds me of my old Geo Ash Wing lenses except with smaller pupil hole.

This is how the lenses look inside the cute soccer case. I soaked them for 8 hours before wearing them for the first time.

As you can see, these lenses are super bright! I think I'm used to the mellowness of Geo lenses that I was completely blown away by the vibrancy of the color. Even under low lighting people can still notice my "weird" eye color, unlike when I'm wearing Geo lenses.

Even though the size is 15 mm, I don't think they're as big as the Geo Xtra lenses. They do give a nice enlarging effect but not too much. Perhaps that's because the outer ring isn't as thick as Geo Xtra's, which I actually prefer.

Comfort-wise, they're okay. I don't know why this pair isn't as comfy as the Mint ones, though. That's kind of weird. Yesterday I wore them for almost 7 hours and I had to use eye drops a couple of times. Not that bad, really.

I have no idea where international readers can purchase these lenses but Indonesian readers can get them from any reliable online sellers. They've been everywhere lately.

I bought mine a week ago from mygeolens. They have an excellent customer service, I must say, and their price already includes shipping. But! It turns out that they ship the lenses via Pos Indonesia so it was kind of a long wait (5 days). It was my first time ordering from them so I didn't know that they were going to use Pos Indonesia otherwise I wouldn't mind paying more for express shipping. If you want to buy these lenses from mygeolens, I'd suggest ordering through their Twitter because you'll get Rp 10.000 off your purchase. These lenses are priced at Rp 170.000 or about $18 a pair.

By the way, I'm so into Kim K-ish eyebrows lately; strong, dark, not too arch-y but very well groomed. I've tried doing different shapes of eyebrows before but this is it; I think this shape looks the most flattering on me. Thinner and higher eyebrows always make me look a bit too older. Whaddya think? :p

  1. They really suit you:-)I love the dark borders. I love that you post about coloured contacts. Very pretty! (I got Freshlook Radiance's in Sea Green - recommended by a friend who has brown eyes and wears them. I now have 6 bloody prescription pairs and i don't like them! They're very discreet and natural but if anything they darken my eyes. I'm going to do the unthinkable and wear non coloured ones instead;-))
    P.S. i read this week that in a few years they may be able to turn brown eyes blue - freaky! See this article:
