Circle Lens Review: 30Days Natural Circle Grey

Before I say anything else, Happy 2013! I hope your weekend is going well so far. ^ ^ It's been a busy week for me, and I'm super glad it's the weekend again~  I wanted to make time to blog, so here I am!  It's about time I did.  I had wanted to blog about New Years' stuff, but if I keep waiting until I can sit down and properly write in one fell swoop, I'll never get around to updating.  XD  So I decided to go ahead and post some of the posts I have in my queue to see if I can't get my blogger ball rolling.  ^  ^

Anyway, I've had this post waiting for quite awhile and I'm really excited to share it with you all! Today, I'm bringing you my first circle lens review! But before I begin, I just want to clarify that this is a non-sponsored post. I'm not that cool yet. XD Now, on to the review; I hope it's helpful~

I purchased a pair of 30Days Natural Circle Grey from Pinky Paradise at the end of last February as my first pair of circle lenses. I chose them based on this review by Mitsu over at Universal Doll, since I have REALLY bad vision and was looking for something possibly long-term. Although it seems that the series might have been re-made/named...? Because the name is a little different now than you'll find in Mitsu's review. Hrmmm. Oh well.

Anyway, it took only 10 days after my initial order and payment for them to arrive, which was faster than I was expecting! They came with a cute animal lens case as well~

I forgot to take a photo of them soaking in the case, which you should do for at least 8 hours prior to putting lenses in your eyes, but here are the specs for these babies:

Diameter: 14.5mm

Water Content: 55%

Base Curve: 8.6mm

Type: 1 month disposal

After soaking them, I tried them on the first chance I got, I was so excited to finally have circle lenses. XD The results? Take a look:

One in, one out. Picture taken indoors at night, no flash. Please ignore my spotty forehead & ungroomed eyebrows. ^ ^

Both in. Picture taken in same condition with full makeup. I'm wearing Diamond Lash Glamorous upper lashes and Princess lower lashes.

Better angle/lighting. You can really see how the color shows up on my super-dark brown eyes~

One more shot of the full effect~ Lol at my derp-face XD

They were quite comfortable, once I got used to them. However, they did tend to dry out on me. I'm not sure if it's because my eyes are drier than I think, the climate I live in is dry itself, or if I need to use a different solution.  But the dryness went away once I used some eye drops on them, so I needed to carry them around with me.

Overall, I would recommend these! They are very, VERY reasonably priced ($11.90 a pair!), and the enlargement is pretty decent, although I think I might prefer a 15mm lens for that. The color is lovely and shows up just enough to be striking against my skin and eye colors! Just make sure you have eye drops available in case your eyes get dry with these like mine did. ^  ^

Want a pair for yourself? Go on over to Pinky Paradise and get them! There are also different varieties of the 30Days series, so be sure to check those out and find the right ones for you. Every order comes with a cute animal lens case, and they are super-easy to purchase from. Just order, pay with PayPal, and once you get your shipping confirmation (which was within 24 hours for me), they're on their way!

Hopefully I'll get to do more reviews on circle lens soon! I hope you found this useful, and if you have any suggestions for future reviews, let me know!

Until next time~
