LENS REVIEW: EOS Max Candy Jewels Grey (G208) *Sponsored*

Hello!

Been missing in action inside the blogosphere, but not on the outside.  I have been really busy recently as I was in the process of moving.  It's pretty much over and  I just moved into my new apartment yesterday.  However, I still need to unpack and organize.  Also, I've been buying stuff for the new apartment the last 2 days and tomorrow is the Superbowl.  Gonna be busy unpacking and organizing and then make lasagna.  :9.  Once everything is done and I'm settled in I'm going to share with you all a glimpse of my new place! 

In the mean time, I have another lens review.

These lenses were kindly sponsored by Kiwiberry1-collection.com.  She has a sale going on now for the weekend, where you buy any 1, 2, 3, or 4 pair of lenses and you get an extra pair free! Go check it out if you're on the search for something new.  If you miss this sale, don't worry as she frequently has great deals going on.





EOS MAX CANDY JEWELS GREY (G208) REVIEW:

COLOUR & DESIGN: ★★★/5
Like the violets from this series (also sponsored by Kiwiberry1), the design is the same; simple, modern,  clean, sharp, and with a thick limbal ring.  The colour print is dotted with a faded pupil hole.  The fading and blending of the pupil hole is rather nice but I honestly think it'd be nicer if they faded the pupil hole smaller.  Off the eye the lens color is a very light grey.  However, (and surprisingly) I didn't think these stood out as much as I thought they would.  On me, they turn out a nice medium grey.  The main attention getter with these would be the outer ring.  It's too much of a contrast so they stand out.  The violet lenses were more subtle, because the violets are darker.  These remind me of the Solotica Hidrocharme Ice.  Except, the dot matrix on these is less fine, the ring is thicker, darker, and the pupil hole is bigger.  

ENLARGEMENT: ★★★1/2/5

Good enlargement, but not freakishly large.  
 

COMFORT: 
★★/5
Very comfortable :).  Most EOS are very comfy for me.


NATURALNESS:  
/5 
I gave the violets a higher rating in this category.  However, overall they were darker.  With these there is too much of a contrast between the outer ring and the color of the lens so the rating is lower.

These look pretty on you!I feel like this series looks the best when one pairs it with their natural eye color.

Definitely not a fan of these personally, but I think they would look great to match more dramatic make up looks or make up transformations!
