Geo Bambi Chocolate Brown (Princess Mimi WMM-304)

Review of Fobby Barbie Shop

Lenses ordered: Geo Bambi Chocolate Browns

Shipping time: The shipping was outstanding. It took 3 days for it to reach me including the day I purchased the lenses. The lenses were shipped within 24 hours of my purchase.

Packaging: Great packaging. The lenses come bubble wrapped and taped for optimum security and safety. To make it better - the envelope is lined with bubble wrapping as well. The package also includes a lens care guide. The package doesn’t include free lens cases so buyers be sure to have a case on hand or order a case along with your lenses.

Overall Satisfaction: 10/10. This company (www.fobbybarbie.com) is a legitimate, reliable circle lens provider and one of the best I have ever come across. The lenses are in-stock and come in prescription. Since I ordered the Bambi Series (which are located at their USA warehouse), I got my lenses VERY quickly. I paid $17.99 with FREE shipping. I wouldn’t be able to find a better deal on these lenses no matter how hard I tried. Also, this website is VERY caring about their customers. They stress the importance of eye exams and proper eye care/lens care. I couldn’t be happier with Fobby Barbie.

Bambi Chocolate Brown Lens Review

Comfort: 8/10. They’re large lenses so I can still feel them on my eyes when I have these in but they’re not bothersome.

Enlargement: 10/10. I was not expecting these to enlarge so much. Oh man, talk about DOLLY EYES.

Color/Design: 10/10. These are very pretty lenses. All of the pictures you see to advertise these lenses are accurate. They’re bright brown with an almost orange center and they have a dark brown/black limbal ring. If I had to describe these lenses in one word, I’d use the work “striking”. They’ll change any eye color. The color doesn't really compliment my skin tone which is unfortunate. I wish I got the grey.

Overall: I don't like these as much as I thought I would (on my own skin) but they are very nice nonetheless. I understand why there is such a huge hype around this series. They're beautiful lenses. They’re not natural looking at all though. However, the lenses are very high quality (once again, purchased from fobby barbie) and absolutely perfect for those going for a dolly eye effect. I wouldn’t recommend this as an every day lens/public wear unless you are the type of person who wears a lot of makeup on a daily basis or if you want people to know you're wearing contacts. Nonetheless these are highly recommended to anyone who is looking for enlargement or to anyone who just wants to take cute pictures.

Pinky Paradise Circle Lens Review

About The Lenses

I ordered the Geo Nudy Grey circle lenses from Pinky Paradise and they are by far my favorite lenses out of my entire collection. I already posted a comment about them on the site if you click the link (12/3/09).

Comfort level: 10/10. These lenses aren't as thick as regular circle lenses like Honey Wings and Adult Series lenses. I think these are even more comfortable than my Freshlook Colorblend contact lenses.
Enlargement: 10/10. As I posted on the Pinky Paradise website, I feel like I'm watching a magic show every time I put the lenses in and take them out. It's a DEFINITE change. The actual lens size is the same as a regular American soft lens contact (14.00mm). For example: a Geo Nudy Gray lens is the same size as a Freshlook Colorblend lens.
Design: 9/10. These are pretty natural but people can still tell these are contact lenses. They have reptile-like appearance but usually it doesn't look TOO abnormal. More than likely your friends who don't know about circle lenses will be jealous. These lenses are quite gorgeous.

My only complaint about these lenses is that it's very difficult to if the lens is inside out or not. With my lenses, either way I have it, it makes that "U" shape. However, I figured out a solution to help me determine which is the correct way to have the lens. When the lens is on your fingertip, put a few drops of solution on the lens and make sure it stays in the lens. If you check the lens shape, it should make a more defined "U" shape that looks like a bowl. If you have it inside out, the liquid forces the lens to the proper shape where the edges are "folding over".

There was one more issue I had with these lenses. I soaked them overnight but my first week wearing them was terrifying. My very first day was okay but the second day, I wore the lenses for six hours and the lenses got stuck to my eyes. The next day I took a short 30 minute nap and the lenses got stuck to my eyes again. The day after that, I would wear it for longer but I could feel my eyes drying out again. I literally had to peel the lenses off of my eyes. Now I can wear these lenses in all day and my eyes will feel fine. I think the lenses just needed to soak in my contact solution and completely get rid of the original liquid it came with.

My suggestion would be to lubricate your eyes frequently and also constantly clean your lenses while also changing the lens solution before you store your lenses. Don't wear them for more than 6-8 hours straight and never sleep in them. You're hurting your eyes (even if it doesn't feel like it). Contact lenses restrict oxygen from getting to your eyes which results in unhealthy eyes/health and could worsen your eyesight or even make you blind. Just take care of your lenses and your eyes to avoid any harm done to your body.

About The Website

This part of the review will be brief. Ultimately, this website is extremely easy for simple folk, like myself, to understand. Navigation is simple. There are pictures of the lens and most of the lenses have a picture of a human model wearing the lenses so buyers have an easier time determining whether or not they want to purchase the product.

The lenses have brief descriptions, also known as the "Item Details" which includes information such as water content percentage and lens size.

Purchasing is easy and they hold your hand throughout the entire procedure. Back when I purchased, there weren't reviews or anything, but now they have customer feedback which I think is FANTASTIC. You can read the reviews/feedback when browsing through the different types of lenses. Customers review on their experience under the category of the lens(es) that they purchased.

The prices are great and the shop is an honest one. They keep you updated on your purchase. I've had zero problems when dealing with this site.

Shipping & Packaging

My lenses came in an orange envelope. It was smaller than I expected. I'd say it was about 3.5inx5.5in. Then again, I only ordered lenses. They don't need to go overboard for something so tiny. Anyway, the envelope is pre-bubble wrapped on the inside. Then they wrap your lens vials in bubble wrap twice (it's secure, I had to use scissors to free the vials) and hold it together with tape. They then place it inside the already protected envelope. The lenses were extremely safe during their travel to America.

My biggest surprise was that they sent a FREE cutie case with the circle lenses. When I ordered my first lenses, they didn't have that promotion where you get a free Cutie Lens Case with every pair of circle lenses. The promotion came a few days AFTER I made my purchase. I was quite pleased that they sent me a case. :)

Don't forget, Pinky Paradise is located in Malaysia so if you're living in the U.S, expect it to take at least seven business days to get to you. The lenses take a while to get to you, but I personally think it's worth the wait.
