Circle Lens Review: Geo Big Grang Grang "Brown"

Yes, another circle lens review... But I promise you, you will love this one! I SWEAR! These lenses are amazeballs! (Did I just say that? >.>') I've been wanting to try these since they came into the market a few months ago! I'm talking about the Geo Big Grang Grang Brown lenses, they were kindly sponsored by Eyecandylens.com
Thank you Eyecandylens!


 I like to call them, "Geuraang Geuraang." That's what it says on the bottles in Korean okay? Seriously! It's 그랑 그랑.. People keep wondering what it means, well it means Grand Grand in Korean, and boy are they aptly named! (I'm going to stop showing off my sad Korean reading skills and get back to the review now. LOL!)

Brand: Geo Medical
Water content: 38% 
Diameter: 15 mm
Base curve: 8.7 mm
Prescription available:  0 to -6.00
Expiry:1 year disposable (3 years if unopened)
Place of Origin: Korea

The Grang Grang series comes in 2 colour types, Brown and a darker one called Choco. I wanted to try brown because they seemed a little more obvious than Choco. These lenses come in two sizes, 14.2mm and 15mm. The ones I'm reviewing are 15mm but for a more natural look 14.2 mm is perfect. ^-^

Lenses from Eyecandylens took a little over a week to get to me from Hong Kong and everything was well packed in bubble wrapped packaging. They're customer service is quite polite and efficient. :)
Inside, there was a  lens case, a care pamphlet and the lenses. I do wish the lens case was cuter. :(


What I really liked about Eyecandylens is that everything is well branded! The box with the lenses has their name on it and even the pamphlet that they've sent is *I think* published by them! They have all their info on it so it makes them very memorable! ^-^




The pamphlet is very well written and thorough and the little illustrations are adorable!



Like with all Geo lenses, these have authentication codes as well. :)
Now, review time!
In the case, notice the "B." For Big maybe?

 Design: ♥♥♥♥
The Grang Grang lenses claim to give you, "Glittering Eyes like a Barbie Doll." Oh man, I wonder if they know how right they are! Yes, with flash you can totally SEE them but in the natural light, they look like MY eyes but better (is that a thing?)! >w< I wonder if this effect happens in the 14.2 mm as well but with these, it looks like little crystals glittering in your eye. :D They make my eyes look alive and fresh! I know I'm gushing, they're just that awesome, so let me! Even though in the photos I'm wearing slightly heavy liner, you can wear them with minimal makeup and get away with it! 
They have no black, just shades of brown, so they look very natural, the best way to describe them is, "They're like push up bras for your eyes!

Comfort: ♥♥♥♥ 
Comfort was the usual 5-6 hours without issues. They were a bit difficult to put in but that is mostly because of the size. Otherwise no issues. I've worn these for 7+ hours with mild dryness which is expected from a big size.

Enlargement: ♥♥♥ 
Even though, obviously at 15mm, these ARE big in size, because of natural the design and colour is, they don't look obviously big like my Burst design ones. I don't have a problem with that but I know there are some people out there who might. :/ I personally love the effect they have. Big but not alien!

Overall: 
If you want glittering, natural looking brown lenses BUY these! After these expire, I'm definitely buying another pair! Everyday I wish my eyes actually looked like THIS! LOL! They are perfect for enhancing brown eyes. I wear them everywhere! Even more than my beloved Kitten Eye Green lenses. 
For a darker version, go for Choco but Grang Grang are a must have! No wonder they're so popular!
