Hi everyone, hope you are having a wonderful day! I'm on a roll with lenses reviews. Nah, actually the rate where I churn reviews out is slower than a moving snail... I think I received this particular pair early September, so a huge thank you to my sponsor Apple Of Your Eyes for being so patient!
Mio's design is heavily influenced by Mimi Cafe Macchiato. The swirls and the dots a part of Macchiato's charm and I am glad to see them in Mio. My only concern is the reddish brown swirls, they stand out too much and not in a good way.
They are by far, the hardest pair of lenses that I have ever had the chance of inserting into my eyes. The lenses are very soft and they have a high water content of 55% which ups the comfort level but decreases the convenience factor. That being said, I managed to insert them without any trouble, just that I take longer to pop them in compared to other lenses.

Those are cool. I'm in the market for another pair of circle lenses.
It looks so nice on you!
Your make is perfect!!
the color of the lens does remind me of kimchi,lol.
These are really unique and look gorgeous!
Hi Blair, the design looks like it would be super dramatic but these actually look quite natural on you. Holy crap 16mm is huge but good to hear it's still comfortable. Great review.
My Kimchi lens are hard to put in too! :O But they look pretty though
Reminds me of the Mimi Cafe series! :) Very pretty!
I thought that the lens would look really funky on but they look great on your eyes, not strange at all! Nice and dolly!
about the santouka ramen place,its located on the 6th floor where the tokyo street is.
These look interesting and very enlarging! Looks good!
You look so beautiful Blair! <3 perfect skin.. so lucky T___T
I love the paul & joe eye palette.. is it still available? I keep hearing rumors that it's discontinued or something =_____= *not up to date with things*
the lenses look great~ I want to try the Kimchi series now!!
I love how you did your eyes and eyebrows! The lenses look great ^_^ I would not buy it if I saw the lenses alone, thanks for the pictures :) x

It looks like you're tyring to hypnotize me (along with the usual mesmerize). =)
OH wow! the lens do kinda look like kimchi xD i love your makeup though!
Cute! These lenses definitely look more natural on the eyes than i originally thought~
hahah I like the watermelon! Was it pears before? :P
And the lenses are so swirly and pretty, they make you look very doe-eyed!
You look so dolly-eyed, Blair! CUTE. :D Loving the lashes too~
wow really cool effect these lenses give!!! ahhhh why your eyes so freaking pretty?!?
I really wanna see you wearing Barbie King Size brown! I agree, this is also one of my favorite designs. The color intensity is so nice and can't be compared to other brand. I would buy in other colors but now I bought GEO lenses and just realized they are much more comfortable, since first time I put them on it's like I had anything in my eyes! When I wear my Barbie lenses its so uncomfortable, like I had sand in my eyes for the first 2 or 3 hours, sometimes my vision is very blurred. So maybe next time I'll buy Super Size Angel brown which is very similar!>< What do you think? Is Barbie brand less comfortable for you too? Maybe I got a defective exemplar?
Hi chiihime, I've not tried the Barbie nor the Geo Medical version of the King Size in brown lenses, mine are from EOS. I've worn and reviewed them in these posts:http://bijinblair.blogspot.com/2011/05/raspberry-kiss.html

Watermelon cover sticker ROCKS! And the lenses are the prettiest on you I've ever seen ALTHOUGH I really expected these to be much lighter T_T
Wow you make me want to try circle lenses so bad!! you are really pretty! Ur blog is so kawaii!!
It looks nice on you and it makes your eyes shiny in a good way. The contacts does remind me of kimchi. lol
Hello Jennifer,
This P&J palette is limited edition but it was released fairly recently, so it's still available at P&J counters and various e-tailers.
i only go for 16mm lens now hehe xoxo
OMG!!! Blair!! You just reminded me that I have this palette! I must must must use it soon.
Circle lenses scare me but you do look stunning!
They don't look quite as cray-cray when you wear them! So pretty though! Your eye makeup and skin are flawless!
Whoa, that design looks so interesting!! They look good on you!
