Review: Neo Dali Brown Circle Lens
Hey guys, so this is a very very veryyy brief review of the lenses, so no comparison photos with other lenses and lighting, and I forgot to take pictures without lenses... >___< if you guys really want them, just request in the comment box. By the way, all the photos are in indoor lighting/low lighting.
BACKGROUND INFO:
I have been wearing circle lenses for almost 4 years now and it is mostly for my very bad vision (-8.50 O_O), I typically go for the natural lenses and I've never tried any other colours of circle lenses other than grey and brown. I have tried GEO, NEO, and EOS Lenses. I prefer subtle enlargement or none. My eyes are super sensitive and dry.. I shouldn't be wearing lenses, but I insist on it!! So comfort for me is a must!! and the higher the water content, the better.

DESCRIPTION FROM HONEYCOLOR SITE:
Usage Modality: One Year Disposable
BC: 8.6 mm
DIA: 14.2 mm
Water content: 45%
DESIGN:
- Super Duper Natural
- Has a bit of a darker rim of about 1mm surrounding it and diffuses into brown a total rim of roughly about 2-3 mm
- From far away it looks like normal eyes
- Up close looks natural as well, unless you are like... 5 cm away from my face can you actually tell I'm wearing circle lenses
- Subtle gradient effect
ENLARGEMENT:
- This is definitely 14.2 mm
- The difference between my regular eyes (sorry no pics XD) is really minimal, probably like .. 1 mm difference
COMFORT:
- Super comfortable
- Feels like nothing when you first put it on
- I can wear it from 8 AM - 6-7PM (10 ish hours), after that it will be a bit irritating
- of course take it out as soon as you can to protect your eyes!!
OVERALL RATING OUT OF 5:
♥♥♥♥½♡
I REALLY LIKE IT, and RECOMMEND IT! if you prefer the natural look
The only reason I don't give it a perfect 5 is that I wish it gave me a teeny weeny bit more of enlargement, even just a millimeter more, my natural eyes are almost the same size as the lens, it only really defines the outer rim making it appear a bit larger. Again, this is really natural, I have tried the GEO BC-102, and although I really like those ones, these ones are way more comfortable.

I ordered these from honeycolor.com with skeptism. Their pricing is really reasonable, but shipping costs 5$USD to Vancouver, Canada. And Standard shipping costs 5$USD per item and 1$USD for any additional items, but I guess they charged me 6$ because the free contact lens case that came with it counted as another item =_=.. so much for it being free. Standard shipping was said to be approximately 14 working days.
I originally ordered these in -9.00, but they were out of stock, so they contacted me the following day to let me know. I ordered on October 8, 2012, and received a reply telling me they didn't have it in stock on October 9, 2012. I then replied to them that I would just go with -8.50, and they confirmed with me a couple hours afterwards. The package was shipped out on the 12th, so it was a total of 3 processing days just like how it said on the site, and my order arrived on the 18th of October.
Shipping was less than a week!! And they were really prompt and clear on contacting through email. I'm really glad, they have fast service, and moderately priced for circle lenses!! I will definitely order from them again, unless I'm looking for different lenses. Honeycolor offers a wide range of lenses, such as NEO, EOS, GEO, FLORA, DOLLY+ and a few others.

BTW: WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON INSTAGRAM?
Should I make one for daily photos of my life and outfits, and buys? I'm not really an instagram user, but if you guys want it I will. It'll be easier for me to update through that rather than here.

Back from the Dead... (Rambling)
Hey guys..CAUTION: YOU GUYS ARE ABOUT TO READ A VERY BORING POST
but, uber happy if you guys actually read it ^^~
Surprisingly, I'm not dead haha.. I haven't posted since March O_O I think I maybe one of the worst bloggers out there :X. Okay, so on let's just move on to my rambling. So many things have happened, and I'm super busy.. with school and work. During the time I haven't posted.. I've had 2 jobs LOL.. I worked at J. Crew, and now I work at Topshop!! I just got the job 3 weeks ago, and my first day was on the floor today, second day of the store opening, and my my my.. was it SUPER HECTIC. (I live in Vancouver, BC. for all of those of you who are curious.. J. Crew opened in April and Topshop opened this month!) But I love the work environment, super energetic! It's like a workout just going to work hahaha..
Other things have happened as well. I went to my cousin's wedding and worked in my city's amusement park as a side gig. So... after the wedding, I decided to lose weight just based on the pictures I saw.. I had to stop lying to myself, and really get to it. I originally weighed 143 lbs... O___O And that is why I don't have any outfits of the day posts LMAOO.. As of today, I weigh 125 lbs!! (Lost 18 lbs over the summer) and I'm SUPER ECSTATIC. I feel healthier, and I have more energy during the day. I AM NOT STARVING MYSELF Y'ALL.. And I even cut my hair shoulder length and dyed it black :P I never would have never done this before. (Believed that short hair made me look fat)
Aside from my little life story...
I've decided to commit a little bit more to blog posting and reviews, and maybe a few tutorials here and there!! I cannot promise to blog every single day, but I will try at least once every 2 weeks.
I've recently ordered circle lenses from honeycolor.com, so a post will hopefully be up in the next 3-4 days about the contacts I got. It'll be a review of the site and the lens! (I got the NEO Dali Brown Lens, 14.2 dia.) It's actually the first time I've ordered circle lenses online :O
And during my hiatus, I've tried a lot of products (Korean and American), so I'll try to post up some reviews for that as well.
BTW: WHAT SONG IS ON YOUR MIND ATM?
Mine is Every Night by EXID, I seriously can't get enough of it. It reminds me of the old k-pop :)
Bye for now!!
Ttalgi~
