Happy Belated Lunar New Year 2011!

IMG_0673
I’m really sorry for the lack of post sweeties. We’ve been busy visiting and spending lots of time with family for the past few days. This Chinese New Year sure felt rushed and a little bit quiet mainly due to the gloomy weather and overcast skies. The sun is finally out now and I’m super glad because it puts a smile on everyone’s face! I’m finally getting used to wearing my GEO and EOS lenses and I’ve been wearing them for 6-8 hours at a time and my subcision scarring has healed 60% !
My 2011 resolutions are :-
1) Smile more. I don’t do this enough. I’m not unhappy, it’s just that I’m not a smiley type person.
2) Revamp my wardrobe. I let fashion go the minute my waist expanded to the size of the globe when I was having my boy and now I’m slowly getting back into it. I’m a big believer that you don’t have to spend a ton to be fashionable. Let’s see how this goes
3) Go for daily walks. Provided it isn't raining. I need to lose 2 - 3 more kgs to be back to where I was.
4) Stress less.
5) Always leave the house with groomed brows.
Here’s wishing everyone a prosperous and happy Rabbit New Year Smile
Love,

GEO Blue Nudy Series Review


IMG_0570
I am no contact lens expert but I have been wearing colored lens since I was 18 and I can still remember the colors I had and how irritating they felt !!
Times have changed and I love the wide variety of colored lenses now. I especially love my Maxi lens because they are super comfortable and the colors are vibrant. I can wear them all day and they still feel comfy and not overly irritating. Since I accidentally washed one of the last few pairs down the sink, I quickly opened two of the 10 GEO & EOS lenses I purchased recently.
The first pair I tried on were the GEO Super Nudy Series in Grey and my eyes were so irritated and red. It must have been because it was so damn large, 14.8mm and the edges felt like they were cutting my eyes !!! Thankfully, the Geo blue nudy I have on are 14mm in diameter and it was way more comfortable. My eyes felt like they were suffocating with the super nudy series Sad smile
So, here are some pictures in different lighting:
Indoor + yellow light:

Anyhow, I find the GEO Blue Nudy very natural in person. A little too natural and dark for my taste. I have to admit that it does look better in picture then in real life.
In terms of enlargement, despite the smaller diameter of 14mm, the pattern and color does a good job of enlarging my eyes.
In terms of wear and comfort, I give it a 6 out of 10. It’s not uncomfortable, neither is it comfortable. The edges feel a little rough to me. It felt slightly drying and scratchy at first but over time I got used to it. Also, I had to use eye drops with these lenses which is pretty annoying as I never have to do that with my Maxi lens.
I wore these lenses in my previous post so do feel free to let me know what you think of the color as I would love to know!!!
