EOS Adult Grey Circle Lenses

As promised, here is part II of lens madness! This time I received a wonderful package from S2Janie of www.prettyandcute.com containing EOS Adult lenses in Grey. She is a great resource for buying circle lenses (colored contact lenses that enlarge your iris) and her shipping was safe and fast, plus she gives out freebies! I got a cute, blue Snoopy lens case. (please check out her lens shop if you are interested in circle lenses and please let her know Jen sent you!)

Not sure if they are a fairly newer series, but I haven't seen too many people wearing Adult lenses online yet. I will say that the pattern of these lenses are what drew me to them though. It's gorgeous and crystallized. There is no harsh limbal ring, only a soft violet one so it seems to look pretty natural. It doesn't enlarge much, but I prefer this type to lenses that make me look like an alien.

Here is a photo of the promo image of this lens.



It's difficult to really see the pattern from that small image but I can't seem to find any online that are higher quality. After doing some research, I think the lens type also goes under the code E-203 and also be sold by the company ColorVue. No concrete proof on that though, just my speculation.

I was hoping that it would look like a true grey on me, like in the promotional image, but the lens was more lavendar or sky blue on me. It changed depending on the lighting which is pretty cool, just not what I was expecting.

This is the same position, just with flash and without taken in my bathroom. See how the color is totally different?


With flash, bathroom light, and natural light.


Bathroom light makes it look violet


Natural light makes it look more grey or blue-grey


Violet-looking again!

What's this?


Dragon tear-drop


I love these lenses so much! From farther away...


And close-up they sparkle


And this one turned out a lot like the promo image. I thought it showed the pattern well.



So I think these are officially my new favorite lens! They are quite noticeable and actually blend in well. You wouldn't think that would be so for such a light-colored lens. A part of me still does wish that it was grey-grey all the time, but I still think the blue and violet tints it turns are still flattering on me so it's not that bad. They are thinner than Soloticas also, but with just as much impact. I can't wait to see how these look with professional photography! I really want to try the E.O.S. Adult browns next to see if they sparkle as much as these do. :D

Just for comparison, I took more photos with the Hidrocharme Verde Marines on the same day so I'll show a few more next time. I think they came out better than last time. Yay for lens-porn.

Let me know what you think of these lenses! Also, let me know what your favorite lens color is. My first favorite was green, but I think blue/grey has officially won me over. :)

  1. Wow, those look great on you! I have the same lenses except in blue, and they aren't a true blue either, more of a lavenderish shade. From my experience, the green ones look very similar to the blues and the violets are more on the pink side. I'm curious as to what the adult browns look like, so if you ever get them, would you mind posting pics? ^^

  7. Wow - these look great on you! I'm not a huge fan of circle lenses because I think they look very obvious on most people, but these ones are really lovely! Makes me want a pair too. Are they comfortable to wear? I have a lot of problems wearing even my regular contacts (Acuvue Hydraclear)... =/

  8. Wow they look great on you! I would love to try them out as I've been thinking about coloured contacts for awhile... I already wear contacts for my vision. I wonder if you can get them with a prescription?

  9. thanks for sharing dear. i haven tried any contact lenses before because thinking of sticking something into the eyes scares me. ><

    but i love this color on you especially cause it suits u really well.. the Verde Marine lenses from the previous post is nice too. not too drama.. but it does gives a mermaid feeling though. and u looked like boA in the last picture!! x3x

    after seeing your so many swatches and makeup, i m totally inspired by you and want to try dolling up myself! i hope u can also share with us on your light make-up in this post.. ur tutorials on the dolly look, etc are superb but i m not ready for thick makeup on a headstart..

  15. Anonymous: I think the blues and greens are gorgeous too! I will definitely post pics if I get them. :)

    Tiffany: links fixed!

    Catherine: I have sensitive eyes like you, so all contacts aren't very comfortable to wear but I do think they are more comfy than freshlooks and soloticas.

    Rin: I think you can, but to make sure, ask Janie from prettyandcute.com. And if you buy, tell her I sent you. :)

    Jewel: I've been getting a lot of requests for the more natural look in my nails video, so I will try to do that sometime. It's pretty easy!

    izumi: I don't know if they have another name, but they are just those glass drops that you put in vases sometimes for decoration!

  18. OMG JEN! THESE LOOK PERFECT ON YOU! It's absolutely gorgeous. They give you a very nice sparkle. :) I love them. I think I'll try them too.

    You mentioned they were thin, does that mean they're prone to tearing? Cuz my lenses tear really easily.

  21. Hi! How are you? I was wondering if you could put down which color contacts you ordered from the web site? Because I have no idea which one to order. >.<; The color contacts look the same to me and I don't know which one looks good on me.

    Also, is it just one pair of colored contacts you're ordering? How many pairs do they give you? Thanks!
