Thank you all for entering in this giveaway! I got my Giveaway items finally together now~ :D I need to film the giveaway video and get this going~ sorry to make you wait for this giveaway... X3
Just an update with Princess Mimi lenses:
I wanted to address an issue I encountered to why you havent seen me do Princess mimi in almond brown lens review yet,, I had issue with the one of the pair lens where it felt like it was causing discomfort like it was scratching my eyes and felt like something was on it and the other pair just felt completely comfortable and natural in my eye so I believe that one is defective since I soaked it for 24hr before wearing it and after trying for the first time immediately after I inserted it felt like there was something on the lens so I cleaned it and tried it on again same feeling so I tried to wear it like that for a few hours and took a picture of it but after few hours that one side hurt and caused my eyes to be red so I have contacted eyecandylens.com and reported this issue so I am currently waiting for the replacement now.
Then I got the mimi chocolate brown from Pinkyparadise and sad to say I had the same exact issue as the Almond brown with one side of the pair!! I couldnt believe it that I got another defective lens,, I was so sad about this cause I been waiting to try out this lens ever since Tsubasa started wearing them last summer and finally I get my hands on them and there is this issues with them,, and the fact that my mimi grey from eyecandylens also had issue where it ripped without me really rubbing em. which in 12 years of wearing contact I have never ripped a lens while rubbing them.. :(
so out of the 4 mimi series lens 3 were defective,, I also got it from 2 different stores so I think the defects are reflected from the manufacturer, I still cant believe this cause defective lens are really rare to begin with, so I just wanted to share this info with you with what has been going on before I get my replacement lenses :sigh:
If you had issues with your Princess mimi lens please let me know~
but on the good side my Mimi apple green lens are completely comfortable without any issues!♥

Congrats to the winner!! :D I'm super duper excited for the next giveaway :D
ReplyDeleteWow, that's really bad luck with the lenses! I have Apple Greens too, but I don't have any issues besides my eyes themselves; I think they just dry easily, since I have same irritation with any of my lenses after a while. >< I hope they get back to you asap, I really want to see what they look like on you. And no more defects!!
SNOWING?! Oh my gosh... well, it's cold in the mornings, but by afternoon it's SO hot, I'm already sweating just being outside for a few minutes @___@ Then it's cold at night again, but if I huddle in my blankets it's too hot ;o; Why weather, are you so confusing right now? < Your shoes are SO cute eeeek! And I'm so sad I couldn't get the tokidoki shirt in time! I'm not really a fan of tokidoki, but the shirt.... <33
Your make-up is always so good !!
ReplyDeleteAND I looooooooooooove your boots :D
I was going to try out some lens from the bambi series... sorry about what happened to your lenses ;A; beside the point, you skin looks flawless in the pictures and the apple green lens really glow in your eyes! :3
ReplyDeleteLoving your outfit!! I just bought some black leggings similar to yours ^^ its cold here too even though I'm in Texas T_T
congrats to the winner~!! :D
awww your outfit is soo cuteee ^__^
ReplyDelete& im sorry to hear about the mimi series (almond) :( hopefully the one you're about to receive won't be defected :((
you look gorgeous btw :)
Super cute outfit! So sorry to hear about your defective Mimi lenses. the green looks amazing on you though! I just ordered my green Mimi's, i hope they're not defective :(. Thanks for sharing Hun!
ReplyDeleteWahhh sorry to hear about your lenses! Now I'm feeling a bit scared for the ones I ordered, too, since I ordered the whole series for myself as well. Here's to me hoping that they aren't defective, and that the replacements that will be given to you won't be defective as well. >_<
ReplyDeletehttp://loveegoist.com
I'm sorry to hear about the defective lenses. I want to try out some fun and colorful lenses because they can enhance the eye makeup even more, but I'm so scared that they would mess up my eyes. Hopefully you get a new pair soon because I'm curious to see what they look like on you.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I'm really loving your photos using the ring light. They're amazing!
I just ordered those lenses, they look super lovely, cannot wait!

ReplyDelete& it's snowing in MAY!?? It was 92 degrees in where I'm from in California today~ >< Jealous of the coldness~ haha
About a year ago there was a article on Yahoo about contact lenses that are not designed for prescription. That they damage your eyes... Any truth to that?
ReplyDeleteI ordered my almond brown from eyecandylens.com too. When i wore it the right side feels that I have sands in my eyes. Since i am pretty new to this circle lenses thing but let you tell you...my left felt like nothing but right sides >..>"".
ReplyDeleteLovely pict. *..* eki !!!
i love these lenses on you! i'm seeing them everywhere >< very tempted to buy them but i must stop myself!
ReplyDeleteyou look beautiful as always~ and thank you for sharing your experience with us! i have an unopened almond brown and i'm really afraid of opening them...hopefully i will be able to replace them if i get a defective lens :(
Great to see the lenses in natural light, it gives me a good idea of how they look :) Love your OOTD too! It's really cute, would love to see more :) Sorry to hear about the issues with the lenses, maybe it's a bad manufacturer batch.
ReplyDeleteactually i ordered a pair from honeycolor.com in apple green and one of the lens was alot faded compared tot he other, and had a tear/.desentegration on the lens but i poped em in and since i didnt notice any other discomfort or major difference in color i didnt exchange them, but ya that sucks if it seems the manufacturer is shit b/c when i was cleaning them too, i got the feelign that the patter was going to rub off, or the lens tear
ReplyDeleteaww thank you sweets<3 X3 If you are new to wearing contact lens, I would highly recommend to get your eyes checked by a opthamologist first since they will show you a proper care in wearing contacts since your eyes are very important to your health I wouldnt want to your hurt them,,, >_<
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your experience with your mimi lens hun, have you contacted them about this? if you havent yet I would recommend to do that cause its not right for you to have to deal with a defective lens dear,, also when I wrote to eyecandylens about this defect issue they responded to me with this:
ReplyDelete"Honestly, I think that GEO is messing up because they are overloaded with orders of the Bambi/Princess Mimi models. They have to produce these lenses in a specific diameter and quality configuration for the Japanese market, another one which has a slightly different design for the Chinese market and then the Princess Mimi model that's distributed to countries other than Japan and China.
Yes, we have received defective reports of the Mimi lenses from other customers, but there are defective reports of other GEO lenses as well."
so with that answer it tells me that there were tons of complaints with defective mimi lenses out there >_< Hope you get a replacement sweets :3
I do forget to take natural light photos so Im glad that you got to see it :D haha thx I will try to remember to take more OOTD too~ XD With the lens I did get the answer from my lens sponsor and got the new that it is in fact a manufacturer defects, seems like they had quite a few complaints with them D;
ReplyDeleteaww thanks sweets<3<3 I hope your lens arent defective as well babe >_<
ReplyDeleteI did get an answer back from eyecandylens about the lens defect and here is what they said:
"Honestly, I think that GEO is messing up because they are overloaded with orders of the Bambi/Princess Mimi models. They have to produce these lenses in a specific diameter and quality configuration for the Japanese market, another one which has a slightly different design for the Chinese market and then the Princess Mimi model that's distributed to countries other than Japan and China.
Yes, we have received defective reports of the Mimi lenses from other customers, but there are defective reports of other GEO lenses as well."
Oh no!! >_< that is how my lens felt!! I would have to say that your lens are defective as well!! :( Have you contacted them? if not please contact them and let them know this,, you should not have to deal with a defective lens that can harm your eyes... X3 Thanks for sharing your mimi lens issue hun hope you get that resolved!

ReplyDeleteaww thank you sweets XD I do love Kumikki's look too~ I am so happy to hear that hun! I am glad I can inspire you to improve your makeup!! Im sorry I dont do enough tutorials to help you even more >_< I was thinking of doing a look with a mezaik where I use a eye tape for to enlarge eye for those who want bigger eyes like how some models in popteen uses to make their eye even more dolly~ what you think? :D
ReplyDelete:blushes: thank you hun XD
ReplyDeleteNICE! I hope you like it and that they are not defective sweets :3
ReplyDeleteahh that makes sense. it still sucks that you got 3 defective pairs though :( hope the next ones they're sending to you won't be like that! and i hope mine won't scratch my eyes too but i will let you know if i'm unlucky enough ><!!
ReplyDeletethank you! I am really saddened about this issue but I am getting replacement so hopefully they are fine,, yes color contact can really bring out the makeup even more and create a different looks but if you are new to wearing contacts I would highly recommend to go see a opthamologist first since they can show you proper way to wear contacts and show you how to take care of your eyes! Its important to do that since your eyes are very important to your health sweets :)
ReplyDeleteahh Im sorry to cause a scare but if you do run into a lens that does not feel comfortable in the eyes like there is something on the lens or feels like there is something in your eyes while wearing that lens dont wear is cause it can cause serious scratches to your eyes,, Please contact your lens provider right away and tell them that there is a issue with them so that the lens providers can contact GEO and repost this issue. I am getting a replacement lens but I was also informed that they did get several defective reports on this lens sadly :( I also had many girls tell me that their mimi lens has been fine and comfortable like my Apple green pair so I truly hope that you dont run into same issue as me hun,,
ReplyDeleteThanks Hun,, I hope you dont run into same issue as well >_< if you do please contact your lens provider so that they can repost this issue to GEO and so that you a replacement lens~ X3
ReplyDeleteThanks Hun!<3 I hope so too :(
ReplyDeleteIm sorry I didnt mean to cause a scare with the mimi lens >_< Alot of the girls have told me their mimi lens have been fine like my apple green one but if you decide to get it have issue with them contact your lens provider so that they can contact GEO and get you a replacement lens X3
ReplyDeleteThank you!! its cold in Texas!?!? wow D;
awww~Thank you♥
ReplyDeletethanks sweetie, I am getting a replacement lens but tis gonna take a while cause they had to contact GEO and repost about this issue as they have informed me that they did indeed get several defect complaints about this mimi series,, D;
ReplyDeleteyes it snowed again this morning for a bit >_< its still in the 30's here I cant WAIT for the summer Im so tired of this cold weather its making me depressed and sick D; yeah really confusing weather for sure... :/
Thank you thank you! I need to go light it makes me feel summer-y and happy dark hair just makes me blah.. and it also feels heavier for some reason X3
thank you babe!♥
ReplyDeletewell if you dont take a proper care of your lens, any contact wether it is a colored or not they can cause issues to your eyes and can cause serious damage to your eyes. That is why it is HIGHLY recommend to go see a opthamologist before you wear contacts so that they can check that you are fit to wear contacts, show you proper way of handling the contact lens and caring for your eyes. I have been wearing prescription contact lens and color contact lens for almost 13 years now with no issues since I take proper care of my contact lens and my eyes. :)
ReplyDeleteWaah you are so pretty!! and cute! i love your makeup and outfit!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review of the lenses- I try not to buy from places that have multiple bad reps :/
I like your boots! Where are they from, may I ask?
Love reading your blog!
-Mel
Yikes >_< I have been having that problem with my lens! My Sesame Grey one felt okai and it wasn't too uncomfortable since it adjusted eventually, but my apple green ones T^T one side I like soaked...then put them on and it felt like the edge was cutting into my eye. I had to take it out and rinse it and I did this like over 5 times but it still had the same problem. I tried wearin it for a while and it didn't exactly hurt but it didn't feel very comfortable. It's weird since my other eye is completely fine V_V...*sigh*
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about your defective lenses =(
ReplyDeleteI hope your replaced lenses would be better!
But at least the green ones are ok and they look great on you! (:
Your outfit is also super cute!
awwww!~ you replied to every single comment!~ >< so sweet to your followers~ hehe <3
ReplyDeleteI hope your replacements for your lenses are perfect!! ^3^
U are so cute and sincere! love reading your posts! ^_^ V
ReplyDeleteHi Eki! I've also had the EXACT same problem but with the Brown Hana SPC lenses that I got from Candylens as well. I'm extremely disappointed because they looked so good on the other eye (=_=). My eyes turned red after just trying to wear it for 10 seconds. Extremely disappointed!
ReplyDeleteI believe my sister and I got defective lenses as well! And we bought about 8 pairs total! The GEO ones that I received from mycandyeyes.com are defective on one side only also! It's usually the one that I put into my right eye! And it always feels like something is scratching my eye! I was so disappointed since the defected lenses were the pretty ones! I do hope this is resolved soon!
ReplyDelete<33 Rena
That would be awesome! I remember I tried to use eye tape years and years ago but I could never do it right. Do they work if you already have double eyelids? >.<
ReplyDeleteThat mint green is seriously such a beautiful color, woooow!! I'm so jealous of your cold weather, you look adorable^^ I'm currently sitting under a fan at full blast and wearing shorts. It's too hot in Southern US!!
ReplyDeleteHehe, it's also still pretty cold here in Seattle right now. Not snowing or anything, but definitely raining a bunch. :(
ReplyDeleteYou pulled off the outfit very nicely!
<3 IreneCouture PetiteTwitter: @couturepetite
Your third photo is breathtaking! Oh my gosh I wish I took photos like that! You're so pretty!
ReplyDeletei believe i purchased an authentic princess mimi almond and i was happy about it
ReplyDeletebut when i tried it on, there's air bubble, i blinked and pushed on the side of the lenses to get rid of it, then removed and inserted it again few times but it's still there.
i also have princess mimi chocolate brown and sesame gray, but i don't experience this air bubble problem with them...
could it be defective?
I love your outfit! It is soo cute! Especially the top! You always look so pretty =)
ReplyDeleteyour outfit is so cute, even with the cold weather!
ReplyDeleteEki, I've been following you for a while, but it's my first time commenting.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say omgggg, you look absolutely stunning in the third photo down.
omg i love your boots! where'd u get them?
ReplyDeleteAh, I wrote you about this before too, when you just got the Grey lenses. I also got mine from eyecandylens.com and couldn't have them in my eyes. I had a blurred vision from both pairs (the first pair, and the replacement pair), even though they felt comfortable at first. It hurt to put eyedrops (the ones safe for contacts) in too, even though they were supposed to help.
ReplyDeleteI wish someone would make a bigger deal out of this, because I really thought it's going to hurt my eyes seriously, and most others had not issues with it. But I'm already glad you brought this on your blog.
Lucky...I was really looking forward to my apple mimis...but it turns out they were fakes. I bought them from a "verified" seller *fobbybarbie*, I contacted GEO and they told me that she was verified, but not if her products were. For the first time ever since buying circle lens, I've felt extreme discomfort. I can't wear these lenses for more than 5 minutes. I remember taking them out after 20 minutes...and accidently dropping it into the sink. I literally heard a "plink plink" sound as it hit the sink dry like a chip. :/ My packaging was also missing the pink label (came in normal "magic color") and the geo stickers and logo.

ReplyDeleteI just did research on the lenses. You're right. They're all messed up
