Hope everyone had a lovely Easter because I sure did ^.^ What did I get up to? Well my relatives and I went for an hour drive out of my city to go a little German town up in the hills called Hahndorf. We walked around the shops, had lunch and also went to a strawberry farm to pick strawberries :3 As we were picking we ate some too hehe. They were so sweet and we picked heaps of them! My cousin took a photo of all the strawberries but I didn't so I don't have any pictures :(
Speaking of pictures - I GOT A NEW CAMERA! Finally, I can take high quality pictures :D Buttttt one problem at the moment... I need a micro SD card T^T Until I can get one, then there will be high quality pictures on my blog
*pinky promise*
Enough about me and my busyness lately, time to blog properly and include photos~
This is a bit of an overdue post however I'm glad that I can catch up on it now that I am on uni break. A while ago (too embarrassed to say exactly how long ago) I was sent two pairs of lenses from my sponsors iCandy Style Lens and these are from a new series of lenses called 'Berry Holic' from the brand GEO:
I'm so glad that GEO have created a new style of lenses that look really similar to my favourite World Series 3-tone lenses that I have.
Now I hope to also be able to own the Berry Holic series and compare how similar or different they are to the first 3-tone series.
I decided to choose to colours which I had never tried before which were turquoise and golden honey to review.
[GEO] CM-957
Series: Berry Holic
Colour: Turquoise
Type: 3-tone
DIA: 14.00mm
B.C: 8.60mm
Water Content: 38%
Brand: GEO
Life Span: 1 year disposable
One eye with no lens
Natural indoor lighting
With flash photography
The colour turquoise itself is a blue-green so I'm no surprised that they turned out looking blue in natural lighting and more green in flash photography. If I wear these lenses out I could get people to guess what colour my contacts are and they would probably guess green or blue since they're more common contact colours. I'd be like 'nope, they're turquoise' :P I'm glad that there are turquoise lenses now, another natural-looking shade of coloured lenses.
I reckon these stand out better than the 3-tone blue and green lenses which is great but look a bit more unnatural than blue or green lenses. These lenses didn't blended as well with my dark eyes which made me look slightly alien-ish.
Colour: ★★★★★/5 - It's the perfect turquoise colour with a mix of blue and green
Pattern: ★★★★★/5 - 3-tone is great, 1-tone would be too unnatural
Comfort: ★★★★/5 - Very comfortable but I've tried comfier lenses
Enlargement: ★/5 - The colour makes my eyes stand out heaps and it contributes to the slight enlarging effect which is what I like, thus my actual rating is ★★★★/5
Overall rating: 18/20 - Love it!

[GEO] CM-958
Series: Berry Holic
Colour: Golden Honey
Type: 3-tone
DIA: 14.00mm
B.C: 8.60mm
Water Content: 38%
Brand: GEO
Life Span: 1 year disposable
One eye with the lens on
Natural indoor lighting
With flash photography
Again, these totally go by the name of 'golden honey' and they are so pretty! I love the colour of these lenses, they're a warm brown with a hint of khaki on the outer ring which I adore. The difference between these lenses compared to the turquoise ones is that the center rings aren't yellow/gold but instead they're a medium brown, therefore they blend better with my dark eyes. I'm very happy about there not being a yellow/gold ring in the center because these lenses would look less natural.
I also want to add that I'm pleased with how they turned out in flash photography because they don't look too creepy or vibrant. These lenses suit Asian eyes really well because to me they're not too light and not too dark.
Colour: ★★★★★/5 - I think these are now my favourite colour of lenses
Pattern: ★★★★★/5 - Absolutely love 3-tone lenses
Comfort: ★★★★★/5 - I found these very comfortable to wear
Enlargement: 0/5 - Could hardly tell that there was any enlargement, hence my rating is ★★★★★/5
Overall rating: 20/20 - Love it!
I seriously still can't get over how gorgeous these lenses are! Before I tried them on, I thought that they would look really light on my eyes but I am so glad that they didn't. I really hope to find/see/try more golden honey-like lenses.
And the last picture of me with the lenses on:
Have I tempted you into purchasing these lenses? You can ORDER THEM HERE
Thanks iCandy Style Lens for giving me the opportunity to try these lenses.
Thanks guys for reading such a long post from me! I hope I'll have time to post again in the next couple of days. It's sad knowing that I am now on my second week of holidays, a.k.a my last =[
And since you've stuck around for this long, I will show you a picture of my new camera which I have already posted on my Twitpic but just in case you missed it or don't follow me on Twitter (which you should lol!) here it is:
It's a Samsung PL121 and my dad bought it for me as a month-early 18th birthday present. My birthday won't be until May 22 but I really wanted a new camera before then so he ordered it online and it came as express shipping a day before the Easter public holidays =] I've been playing around with it heaps and I love it. It's got everything I need and want in a camera with bonus features such as the dual screen with one at the front so I can have better aim when I take front-on pictures ;P Also good for video recording so I know whether I am in the frame or not.
I took the picture with my iPod Touch and I don't think I should use it again for blog pictures because it is so grainy, especially at night time :S Also prepare to say bye-bye to grainy pictures on my blog haha x]
PS: I won't have a questjen for you guys in this post - I'll let you off this time xD
I don't really like the Berry Holic series, on nobody, I know I'm into natural colours and such, but this series is just plain boring, but definitely an improvement to their Twins series, which is the most awful lens series on earth, so I'd call Berry Holic their bigger sister, haha, but nonetheless you look very cute!
