Circle Lenses: Vassen Latte Series in Grey Review

A while ago I ordered many different circle lenses, and one of these pairs were the Vassen Latte Grey. I bought these from PinkyParadise when they had a promotion going on where if you bought and reviewed those lenses on your blog or your youtube page, you would get a coupon code for 50 % off your next order. This offer still applies btw if you order them before May 31st. Check the site out for more info.

I have tried many different pairs of circle lenses, but none of the Cafè, Latte etc series with the swirly design on them. Vassen is the latest company to come out with a series like this, and I have not seen these lenses anywhere else, except for on pinkyparadise.

When you order from Pinkyparadise, you get a free, cute lens case with every pair of lenses you purchase.

Vassen Latte Grey:

First off, I must say that I never expected to buy an actual grey lens. Grey is not a natural color at all in my opinion, although I know there are some people that have grey eyes. I just never wanted that color. However, the Vassen Latte Greys had a swirly design with brownish/yellowish coloring amidst all the grey, so it looked more appealing to me.

You can find these exact lenses here.

As you can see, these lenses appear very dark on my eyes, and my natural eye color is green with yellow in the middle. This color is not a light grey, it is more of a charcoal grey, which goes very well with a smoky eye. I actually NEED to have my makeup like this to be able to pull off these lenses, so I would say that the Vassen Latte Grey are more of a "going out at night" type of lens.

I actually love the swirly design on these lenses, and I would love for them to come out with more colors, even very vibrant ones with this design on them. It looks very natural if dark grey was actually an eye color.

These lenses are actually pretty comfortable. I can wear them for a few hours without feeling like they are uncomfortable. But I need to keep eyedrops with me just in case, which I always do whenever I am wearing any circle lenses.

The diameter of these lenses is 14,5 mm, which is a great size for me. They do have a pronounced black outer rim, which makes these lenses stand out even more and make my eyes appear very enlarged. I get a dolly eye effect with them which I like. I do like that these lenses appear natural even though they clearly aren't. That is mostly due to the design and not the color.

As with most circle lenses, you can keep these for up to a year if you treat them right.

Buy them here for 23,90 US $.

Circle Lenses: Vassen (Fynale) Hello Kitty Green Review

As you might know, I ordered some circle lenses from pinkyparadise.com a while back, and now I have used most of them. The lenses I was most excited about were the Vassen Hello Kitty circle lenses, which are lenses from Vassen that have a hello kitty print on them. As a Hello Kitty fan, I just HAD to have these lenses, and I chose the color green as I already have green eyes and just wanted an extra pop of color.

As you can see from the picture above, these lenses have a distinct Hello Kitty design on them, which is extremely cute and girly. I was of course hoping that you might be able to tell when I was wearing the lenses as well, but from the picture below, you can see that the design is almost hidden.

Diameter: 14.5mm
Water Content: 42%
Base Curve: 8.6mm
Type: 1 year disposal

Color:

These lenses almost look black on me in different lights, especially when I am indoors. They do not look very natural, which I find disappointing. I know that most circle lenses are not supposed to look extremely natural, but when the design does not even show up, I want the color to be bright at least.

Here is a picture I have "sharpened" so that you can see more of the design.

Comfort:

At least the lenses are mostly comfortable. They are not as comfortable as the Vassen Cloud Nine Blue lenses I reviewed earlier, which are also my absolute favorite lenses by far, but I can still wear the Hello Kitty ones for a few hours without them becoming too uncomfortable. 

Enlargement:

The diameter is 14.5 mm, which is a good size for me. The black rim around the edges still give my eyes an enlarging effect, almost doll like, which is nice. However, if you want the appearance of huge eyes, go for 15 mm sizes in lenses. I have still not tried any lenses that size, so I cannot tell you if they would be too much for me or not.

Summary:

Even on lighter eyes, these lenses are not as green as I would have hoped. They are comfortable to an extent and they give my eyes a doll like effect. I will still wear these because I like the feeling of having Hello Kitty eyes (:P), but don't expect these to show up as great as the pictures on the website.

Circle Lenses: Vassen Cloud Nine Blue Review

Circle lenses are a type of lenses that originated in Asia, and they are quite different from other contact lenses. First off, there are so many different circle lenses; brands, colors, design etc. They can last up to one year if you take good care of them, which is great ;)
Most circle lenses are designed to enhance your eyes, making them look bigger and more vibrant in color. I have tried many different circle lenses, but here is my absolute favorite pair, namely the Vassen Cloud Nine Blue lenses.

The Vassen Cloud Nine Series is a series of very vibrant lenses that enlarge your eyes as well.

Diameter: 14.5mm
Water Content: 42%
Base Curve: 8.6mm
Type: 1 Year Disposal

I absolutely love these lenses. I have always wanted a pair of bright blue lenses that did not look too unnatural or made my eyes look alien-like.
These lenses look quite natural on me IF I'm wearing makeup. They do not look natural if I am not wearing any eye makeup, as they then look a bit weird.
Comfort wise, they are extremely comfortable. I have had problems with circle lenses before, but not with these. I cannot even feel them in my eyes when I am wearing them. However, I do need to keep eyedrops with me just in case my eyes get tired.

These lenses also come in prescription if you need that, so you can actually wear them instead of your regular contacts. What you do need to be aware of, is that these do not supply your eyes with oxygen, so I would not recommend using them for more than 6 hours at a time, especially if you are not used to circle lenses.

I got mine from PinkyParadise, and if you click the link it will take you directly to the lens page. I get all my circle lenses from pinkyparadise, as they are an amazing company with the most options of lenses. The shipping usually takes about a week from Malaysia to Norway, and that is with the cheapest shipping alternative. You always get a free animal lens case when you order ;)
