Review: Lens Village - Dueba Puffy 3 Tone Grey

Tuesday, October 9, 2012

Hey folks, I have a review today that is a bit different than my usual reviews of makeup or polish. The folks at Lens Village were really awesome and sent me a pair of lenses to review- the Dueba Puffy 3 Tone Grey. I was really excited to try out these lenses because I love playing with different eye colors with different makeup, even though in the past I had bought circle lenses that I didn't particularly like.

The Dueba Puffy 3 Tone Grey lens is beautiful. Just look at it! A cool grey color rimmed with just a hint of dark charcoal, with a soft honey color that helps transition the color of the lens to the color of your iris. In the pictures, you can see a lot of my brown peeking through but I feel like that is because my pupil was highly contracted since I was using flash directly in my eye (derp!). The three toned look really makes it look more natural (as natural as grey eyes on an Asian woman can look, any how).

I found that the lenses were pretty comfortable. Since I do usually wear contacts and I'm used to the feel of my prescription brand, the first few times I wore the Puffy 3 Tone Grey it felt a little weird to me. However, after wearing it a few more times, I've gotten used to it. I would definitely recommend that you keep eye drops for contact wearers handy though, especially if you're going to wear them for five or more hours in one stretch.

Some quick info:

Price: $13 right now on sale, regularly $19.50 (Uhm, what a steal!)
Size: 14.5mm in diameter
Lifespan: 1 year

I also really liked the packaging. The bottles that the lenses came with were very nicely sealed with really cute drawings on them. Also, look at the cute case! An elephant! I've also seen their hippo lens case and that is, if possible- even cuter.

In short, if you're looking for colored lenses with, I highly recommend Lens Village. In fact, I'm probably going to buy my sister a pair of lenses very shortly because I was so impressed by the huge selection of lenses that they have, the prices and their customer service. Their website and blog have SO much information! Anything you could possibly want to know about these lenses, it's there. My experience with Lens Village and this set of Dueba Puffy 3 Tone Greys have changed how I feel about circle lenses and I'm definitely interested in wearing them more often.
