Review: Geo Starmish Brown Circle Lenses

I've wanted to review these lenses for a while, but I kept being lazy. Well, the review is finally here. Now, let me just start off by saying that unfortunately I no longer have these lenses...I had to throw them out two weeks ago while I was outside because I didn't bring my lens care stuff with me, and my eyes were severely itching me.

That doesn't really matter, though. I had the lenses for roughly three months, and I did take photos, so this review will still be good. I'll be rating it out of 5 in 3 different categories; color visibility, comfort, and enlargement.
Alright, on to the review!

These are very cute lenses by GEO, and they come in two colors; light brown and black. I ordered the light brown, because I wanted my first pair of lenses to be this color, and I don't find black circle lenses to be very appealing.

The above photo is how they looked under my bathroom lighting. As you can see, they're quite noticeable. Below is a photo I took of me in the car, so the lenses are under natural lighting.


I'll rate the color 5/5, because they are very bright and vivid no matter what type of lighting you're in. (I actually wore these lenses to a late-night school event, and my friend commented on them even though it was nighttime. Further proof they're very visible!)

As for eye enlargement, I definitely noticed a difference. It's nothing massive, since these lenses are a size 14.5, but it's definitely noticeable. So a 4/5 for enlargement. Unfortunately, where these lenses disappoint is with comfort. Maybe all circle lenses are like this (this is my first pair, so I wouldn't know for sure), but I found that they made my eyes quite uncomfortable for anywhere from 5-15 minutes after putting them on. My eyes would itch and water and it was overall not a fun experience. After the discomfort subsided, they were tolerable. Sadly, the itching returned while I was outside and didn't have my lens case with me, so I had no choice but to throw them away because they were hurting so much. (And I try to take very good care of my lenses.) For that, I give comfort a 3/5.

Overall, these are very cute lenses that are bright and pretty. However, if you're looking for a big eye enlargement, then these lenses probably aren't for you. Although the lenses are pretty, they were quite uncomfortable for me.
