REVIEW | Gemini Mint Colored Contacts

Hi everyone

Sorry I haven't really posted in a while, I recently moved and have been busy organizing

I purchased the Gemini contacts after seeing Jenn Im wear them in one of her tutorials, and of course I couldn't resist the "mint" name tag.

Photo on the website

Description:

The way the green in this lens mixes in with the wearer’s natural eye color is simply beautiful. Strong, yet soothing and comforting. Lighter than The GREEN. *Lens color may almost look yellow at first glance, but put them in your eyes. Ahhh MINT GREEN.

Diameter: 14.3mm
Base Curve (BC): 8.8mm
Water Content: 40%

In real life

I don't know if you guys are familiar with the Solotica lenses, but these remind me of photos I've seen of the Solotica Mel lenses.

When I got these in the mail I was like. ???
I had ordered two and it was a long package, then I opened it and was like. Oh it's so fancy
However, the case doesn't seem super high quality compared to the ones included in the Alcon (Opti-Free) solutions

Pros
More comfortable than Solotica
Iris enlarging
Nice packaging

Cons
Recommended 3 months use
Website doesn't have photo of lenses on different eye colors

Verdict

Gemini lenses are A LOT more comfortable than the Solotica ones. The base curve seemed a little curvy for my eyes, but they fit fine.

If you're interested in any of the colors, I highly recommend these as they are a lot more comfortable than the Solotica ones without being overly unnatural. I always love green eye colors, but I bought the grey ones too, can't wait to blog about it when I open them 

I bought mine here, with free shipping :)

Repurchase?

Yes!

Would I recommend it?

Definitely. But I know some colors might look less natural due to the enlarging effect.

Fun photo

Hello Kitty filter on Snapchat! I am wearing the lenses here, you can't see the green as much but you can tell my eyes are lighter

Mint green everrrrythang (my most recent obsession)

Couldn't sleep a few nights ago and built this.

My most recent obsession, succeeding makeup (almost)

Some refer to the color as seafoam, I've seen it more as mint?

Different companies that sell products in this color have labeled it as aqua, or just green, lmk if you've seen other names xD (greatly appreciated to aid my search for more mint green items, not that I need anymore of course)

I've always liked mint green, but this spring it seems to have become the IT color and everyone and their grandma is making products in this color. Accessories, clothing, you name it.

Notable favorites include:

Forever21 makeup bag (only $7!) - for some reason, it makes me very happy because it's puffy

Hot Topic Mint Green sunglasses

Coach Legacy Penny crossbody

BCBG Peeptoe Pumps (haven't gotten to wear them out yet, but they're so cute! Got'em on clearance at Macy's)

Calvin Klein career dress (once again clearance at Macy's, one of the few benefits of working there)

Wet Seal mint green v-neck

Victoria's Secret mint green thermal ($12 during their semi-annual sale, whoo hoo! Surprisingly Cali is still cold this time of year, for a little bit anyway)

Mint milk green tea from Snowflake Teahouse in California

I don't know if I ever mentioned this on my blog, but I LOVE milk tea. Mostly green milk tea with fruit flavors but I like to branch out and try everything. Next time I go to SoCal I am definitely hitting up all the milk tea places there. <3

Oh also I do actually like mint flavored things, not just for the color LOL

Etude House Juicy Cocktail gradation nails kit (Ebay)

Glitter is extremely difficult to remove, tried it once unsuccessfully and haven't attempted since. As you can tell the base polishes are very sheer. I still need to work with the glitter more to make it look like a pretty gradation

Sunglasses from Hot Topic. Buy one get one 50% off

These are actually well-constructed, I used to buy sunglasses from NYS but their quality has deteriorated in recent years, never again!
