G&G GBT Sky Review

Sorry, I didn't notice that the camera didn't focus properly. : (.

Hello everyone~ Back with another review! This time I'll be reviewing Dueba's G&G GBT Sky circle lenses that I bought from Pinky paradise. All photos were taken in my room, hence the bright white light.


Specs

Diameter: 14.0mm

Water Content: 38%

Base Curve: 8.6mm
Type: 1 year disposal


Service
This is the second time I've actually bought something from that website, and so far, I like it~ I got the registered shipping, so the package came in fourteen days (From January 27th to February 14th, excluding weekends). I believe the last time I ordered about a year ago it also came in the same time frame.  I was a bit surprised about how it was delivered though; I remember last time the package would be brought to my doorstep but instead, it was put in my mailbox... Then again, the package was sent via Fedex, not USPS, aha. I wonder why it changed... It came wrapped in pink cellophane...? If that's the right word. The bottles were wrapped about twice and then taped off to ensure that it would break during shipping. It's very safe and definitely needed. : ). If the customer service hasn't changed, then I can assure you that it is amazing. I remember last time I entered in coupon deal and after I hit the place order button I was scared that I had done it wrong. I emailed them and they responded as soon as they could (I placed the order on Saturday/Sunday so I had to wait a day or two for them to respond). They checked my order and voila, I was set. Not much to complain for from their website, to be honest. They are the first circle lens website I've ever bought from, and they will always hold a special place in my heart.

Colour
The colour isn't really that vibrant. If you're looking for contacts that are like "BOOM" in your face, then these aren't the ones for you. Rather, they give a slight tinge of colour, but out in the sun, it really isn't that noticeable. I wore them out for one day and only one person could tell I was wearing them, aha. If you are looking for the type of lenses that don't stand out and can change the colour of your eyes slightly, these are for you!

Design
Pretty... Normal? xDD. I mean, they definitely aren't like the Princess Mimi series - far from it. No giant, black limbal ring. Just... Normal 14.0mm contacts. They don't provide a major halo effect. It could just be that the contacts were out of place for me, because I could make out a very tiny halo around my eyes. Other than that, the design is pretty natural. The gradient effect they have doesn't go from a super contrasting colour to blue, but blue and outwards. So far, only one person has noticed that my eyes were coloured - and that was only because we were having a face to face conversation. On lighter coloured eyes, the design will be more noticeable (Obviously) but for dark coloured...

Enlargement
Like I've stressed before, these contacts are natural. They are perfect for everyday wear! There is no limbal ring, so the enlargement is very minimal. They are very close to my natural eye size, so it does not give me a dolly effect.



Comfort
I guess my eyes are a bit drier than others, because I had to reapply contact solution to my eyes...

Taken in normal lighting, i.e. sunlight through window. xD;;.

Overall
Overall, I would recommend these contacts for anyone who wants an every day pair of lenses that aren't "in your face" noticeable.
