Sneak Peak of New GEO Circle Lenses for Summer 2013

Here's a sneak preview of new colored circle lenses that have just been released from GEO's headquarters in S. Korea!

This HoliCat series is a line of monthly disposable cosmetic contacts.  It will be available in 5 designs of the most popular colors - brown, grey, blue and chocolate.  The lenses are 14.5mm diameter and, good news for those of us who need prescription, they will come in 0.00 ~ -8.00.


I must say that the packaging is absolutely adorable!  I love those cartoon illustrations, and it's much cuter than any other packaging that GEO has released.  As for the lenses themselves, I'm stoked to try the Barbie Brown! It looks like a milder version of the Dueba Gossip Brown lenses.  The Funky Blue looks quite amazing as well, though the limbal ring looks quite thick.  I'm hoping that the printed patterns are actually closer to 14.2mm instead of 14.5mm so that they'll look more natural and won't give an alien-eyed effect.

Meanwhile, here's a promo photo that's been released for the Funky Blue. Looks quite good.


What are your opinions about these designs?  Which ones are you excited to try?  Let me know in the comments!

NEO Dali Premium Brown Circle Lens Review



NEO Dali Premium Brown (NO17) is easily becoming one of my every go-to circle lenses.  If you've followed us on Twitter, you will have seen that I posted pictures of me wearing this lens a couple times. Sometimes, you want to wear colored lenses but realise that you have to "play it up" with eyeshadow colors, mascara, etc. But since these lenses are just plain brown, you can be super lazy with makeup. NEO Dali Premium Brown is good for a makeup-free look (or a "no-makeup" makeup look =P) as well!

Color & Design: 


These lenses are 14.2mm but the enlargement effect is super natural, more like 14.9mm.  The brown is lighter and more reddish/orange-toned compared to NEO Dali Sweet Chocolate, Dali 2 and Natural Touch circle lenses.  I would call it a warm cocoa.  This shade isn't a perfect match for the typical Asian dark brown eye color but it still looks super natural.  This lens wouldn't be detectable by people who don't know about circle lenses.  Even if they do, it's not going to stand out a lot.  Perfect for those of you who like subtle enhancements.



Enlargement: 

I feel 14.0-14.2mm is sufficient for me as my eyes are puffy and not big.  But I know that for most people they would find this on the smaller side

Comfort: 

NEO Vision contact lenses are amazing in comfort! Really comfortable during the workday (even when staring at a computer screen for 4+ hours at a time)

NEO Vision Dali Premium Brown can be purchased here on our website for $29.60 plus free worldwide shipping.

On another note, we have FAIRY 1-Day Color Con newly arrived from Japan! I have been trying them out and they are extremely comfortable so far. And super convenient too!  I will be posting some pictures up later...

New Japanese Fashion Watches by This e'S Watch

We are so excited to announce that we're offering these awesomely adorable trendy watches by This e'S Watch on EyeCandy's!  This brand is famous in Japan and Hong Kong for its super cute and affordable fashion accessories.  You can find them all over fashion "hotspots" like Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui, Mongkok, etc (if you've been to Hong Kong and visited Sogo, Beverly Shopping Centre, LaForet, etc., you'll definitely have seen these watches before!)

This e's Watch mainly has 3 style categories of watches.  Let's take a look at my favorites below.

Glam / Dressy Style

These rhinestone-encrusted confections are perfect for anyone who wants to wear a watch as a standalone accessory.  I am in love with the Constance watches which have a simple, thin leather strap, crystal bezel and a really cute little star charm to add a touch of girliness.

Jetsetter White Watch with Rhinestone Bezel
Constance Rhinestone Pink Strap Watch with Star Charm

Girly / Cute Style

These girly watches are perfect as gyaru accessories and will instantly cute-ify any outfit! I really like how these watches are available with small faces.  I know that large-faced watches are the trend nowadays, but for those of us with small wrists these can look overwhelming. The small ones are definitely cuter and more dainty.  My top pick from this would be the Runway Thin Strap Watches - a nice minimalist design punctuated by whimsical numeral accents.

Leopard Charm Pink Leather Strap Watch

Vintage Whimsical Style

This category is my absolute favorite from e'S Watch!  I think that these designs go well with a more mature style, perfect for work but not too old-looking.  They feature nice leather straps in neutral colors with brushed or aged hardware.  The Angelica watch in Brown is one that matches most of my outfits for work or for going out.  The cool thing about it is that the carousel motif is the ticker for the watch, so it rotates as the clock hands move!  Also loving the Bambi watch with the cute little character accent that's so nostalgic!  =)

That's the Spring Edit for now!  A new batch of watches will be available for the summer.  Stay tuned! =)
