I like these lenses, a lot. They're bright, pretty, doll-like and comfortable. But once again, they look retarded on my light blue eyes. Like a sticker decal stuck to my eyeball. Shame...they're really cute. I really like the thick black outer ring, some people don't because it's so unnatural. But how natural are you gonna get with purple-freakin contacts? Go big or go home! LOL. Nah, just kidding, I have seen some subtle, natural looking violet lenses. These, however, are not them. My main issue with these lenses is not the ridiculous way they make me look, but the diameter claims. 17mm is what the bottle says. It also says 17mm on the Uniqso website. But, to be fair, I'm sure they were just going by what the bottle said. There is no way these lenses are 17mm. It drives me nuts when manufacturers do that. They put what they consider to be the "enlarging effect" of the lens on the bottle, instead of the actual diameter. Actual diameter of these lenses is 14.5mm, not 17mm. How do I know? I measured. Here is a comparison photo, the top/left lens is my beloved iFairy Casper lens, 16mm (I measured) compared to the Luxury Babe lens. 17mm? You tell me:

16mm iFairy lens on the top left, LB lens "17mm" on the bottom right

Anyways! LOL here are some photos.....

They look alright from a few feet away, but close-up..I dunno...
