Fairy 1day Natural Brown Lens Review

Well, everyone, here's another review on some lenses I have purchased recently!

This review is on:

Fairy 1 Day Natural Brown


I can't stress enough how much I love blister packages for circle lens!
One lens inserted (top image) and both lens (bottom image)

Information:
Color: Chocolate/Brown
Diameter: 14.2mm (stained/colored diameter: 13.3mm)
Water content: 38% ~ 42%
Base curve: 8.7mm
Manufacturer: Sincere Vision
Duration: Daily/ 1 day

Before I start, the Fairy Brand from Sincere Vision is one of the most popular lens in Japan, next to Tsubasa Masuwaka's Bambi series, Celebrity Eyes, AngelColor, Venus Eyes, and much more. They are available in monthlies as well as dailies. I prefer dailies because you can actually sleep with them on (but it's not recommended) and then chuck them after! The oxygen permeability is said to be better than regular circle lens.

Design and Color: 5/5

First, I have to say that the color of the lens match my natural eye color gorgeously! I was so surprised that they could look so natural. The design is simple; the design is a simple ring of color with soft spikes leading to the middle and stopping before the clear site where your pupil is supposed to be. It looks similar to the Hyper Circle lens in 14.2mm (but other websites state they are 14.5mm), but the pattern is much more defined. There are quite a few millimeters of clear area on the edge of the circle lens, so it never looks like your lens is slipping downward when you look up! They blend in very well with my natural eye color, which is two thumbs up for me!

Enlargement: 2/5

Although the lens are 14.2mm, the colored part only reaches to 13.3mm. This means that there is indeed a lot more clear space at the edge of the lens; it doesn't enlarge that much. These Fairy lenses are very natural looking, so it was expected to be subtly enlarging, but not enough to have HUGE eyes. This is a plus for me because I usually like to wear brown lenses without too much makeup or on days when I am feeling lazy.

Comfort: 5/5

Fairy lenses really live up to their claim! I could not feel them in my eye for the entire day. No eye drops were needed at all. The great part I liked about it was the fact that I didn't have to soak them in solution for 8 hours! The lenses are easy and ready to go, so you just open up the cute blister packages and pop them on! If you're in a rush, it's great to have.

Vision: 4/5

Now, this is a new part of reviewing! I'm actually going to rate how well I see with lens from now on.
I could see pretty clearly with these lens, but there were (and are) some times where they would make me see a little double of something. I think it is probably because my eye's base curve is 8.3 while the lens' curve is actually 8.7! If you have a base curve that is around 8.6 or higher, you shouldn't have any problems with the circle lens giving you double vision/silhouettes. Other than that, everything was crystal clear!

Overall: 4.5/5

I am so in love with these daily lenses! I have tried a few Fairy lens in the past, but the 1 day lens are very superior. The comfort level is great, the enlargement is very natural, and many people couldn't tell if I was wearing circle lens or not! Those who want to have natural lens, these would be for you!


Here's me doing some "advertisement" photos with the super cute packaging!

Thanks for reading my blog today. See you again!!

Feelcon Circle Lenses

I have received another pair of monthly Feelcon lenses
They are supposed to be in place for the New Bio lenses that were so highly praised about in previous years

Here are the lenses I got:

This type is called "Natural Black" in 14.2mm; the code says they are EO2.

Apparently, the company that manufactures these lenses is called SP&Eye Co., Ltd.
But I have not found any successful information on them besides a file on Docstoc
The file states the sales price and claims they are best selling in Thailand
Many other sites say their website is spnyeye.co.kr or feelconlens.com, but both domains have been closed down or are not available

I'm a little skeptical about these Feelcon lenses, actually
I had tried out their Comfy 30 Day Black lens (14.5mm) in the summertime, which seemed to be alright
I have heard that the Comfy 30 Day lens in brown are very uncomfortable, though!

If anyone has more information about the origin and history of Feelcon lens, I'd really appreciate knowing about it!
I'm a little scared that these might be fake lenses sold by a very well-known circle lens supplier...

Gothic 3tones Sapphire Lens Review

This post seems delayed, doesn't it?
Sorry about that!

So today,
I'm going to be reviewing...

Gothic 3tones Sapphire

One lens
Both lens

Information:
Color: Blue
Diameter: 14.5mm
Water content: 38%
Base curve: 8.6mm
Manufacturer: G&G/ Dueba
Duration: 12 months/1 year

Design and Color: 4/5

These lens are really pretty! I love the pale blue that they are in their lens case. The design is the same as my other ones, the Gothic 3tones Turquoise lens. It gives a really natural effect from afar, which is great for me because I tend to like the more natural designs than the ones that may be for costumes.
When I put the lens on, I noticed that the lens was not a pale blue color anymore. It is more of a nice light blue. I don't mind it either way, but I was kind of hoping for the pale blue to be its color on my eyes. Nevertheless, I'm still very happy with this series!

Enlargement: 3.5/5

Since these lens are 14.5mm with no significant black/brown outer ring (instead, it has a grey-ish color for an outer ring), it is not hugely enlarging. I find it unique and like how it blends well. The lens aren't too big in my eye, which is great because I don't have to wear too much makeup on days that I am sensitive or lazy, haha!

Comfort: 3.5/5

It was a little strange when I soaked these lens for a night and then tried them on. I had one very comfortable lens while the other one felt like it was poking the side of my eye. I immediately took it out and search for any scratches, cuts or defects in the lens itself, then looked if there was anything in my eye. I didn't find anything, so I changed the lens case instead. It turned out that the lens case had something in it and was causing the lens to seem defective.
Now that the problem is solved, I feel no discomfort at all with these lenses. I do not need eye drops for the entire day, and that is a great thing.

Overall: 3.5/5

The Gothic 3tone series are something I would definitely recommend for those who want some enlargement and color change, but not to look super dolly or alien-like. The color can be very subtle in some eyes, so this series may not be for everyone. I particularly enjoy how natural it looks without being too over the top when I am out in public.

This is a picture with moderate lighting. You can see that the color of the lens can vary in different types of light.

I hope you found some good information about these lens (^_^)/
See you in the next post!

From My Tumblr - Prodigurls 148 Pearl Grey Lens Review

Whoa!
So, I'm going to be forwarding my review on Prodigurls Pearl Grey here on Blogger from my other blog on Tumblr... (^ ^;)
These lenses were sponsored to me by Apple of Your Eyes!
They have a huge selection of circle lenses.
For Facebook fans, you get $3 off for each pair; use the code KM29 to get an extra 5% off on your purchase!


So, here's the review on:

Prodigurls 148/ Absolute Pearl Grey


One Lens
Both Lens

Information:
Color: Grey
Diameter: 14.8mm
Water content: 38%
Base curve: 8.6mm
Manufacturer: Fynale
Duration: 6 months to 1 year/12 months

Before I start, I would like to announce that Prodigurl Lenses come only in -0.50 steps, so the prescriptions -0.25, -0.75, etc. are not available.

Design/Color: 4/5

Wow! I really like the subtle color of the lenses. It kind of reminds me of Dizon Eye lens..? The grey color isn’t too shocking, which I preferably like. The lenses’ design is very simple, but I think that simple can be better than an overly-complicated one. The lenses are two-toned, being grey color with a thin black outer ring.

Enlargement: 3.5/5

Although the lenses state they are 14.8mm, they really don’t look it! If you look closely, a couple millimeters of the lens is clear; the print of the lens is not too close to the edge of the lens. I think that they look more like 14.5mm or 14.3mm lenses. Still, they are really something! Prodigurls Pearl Grey gives off a good enlarging effect on my eyes, so I’m very happy.

Comfort: 5/5

This is the most comfortable lens I have ever tried! First of all, the lenses are thinner than most circle lenses, so it feels almost as thin as regular non-color lenses. Throughout my photo session and the rest of the day, the lenses stayed moist and hydrated. I didn't even have to use eye drops at all! That’s a really good sign.

Overall: 4/5

I wanna say that these are really, really nice lenses! It’s not everyday that lenses like these are so comfortable and look simply nice. I really recommend it for a subtle change in your eyes or if you want to go to work with color contact lenses.
I have to thank Amu for taking pictures for me w w

Clara A Green Circle Lens Review

Today,
I'm finally doing my review for

CLARA A GREEN LENS!



One lens
Both lens

Information:
Color: Green
Water content: 38%
Diameter: 14.2mm
Manufacturer: iContact Lens Korea
Base curve: 8.6 (also can be available in 8.4)
Duration: 1 year/12 months
Disposable soft lens

Color and Design: 3/5

I really love how the design looks! In fact, it reminds me of a copy of either the Bitter Sugar lens from Loyal Lens (in Japan), or a subtle version of the NEO Vision Dali Extra Green. They make my eyes really dolly with a halo effect to them. Thankfully, they don't slide in my eye! I really love the chocolate outer edge of the coloring dye because it doesn't look too harsh like a black outline. The green really doesn't show up in certain lights and angles, so I'm kind of sad about that though.

Enlargement: 3/5

These are a 14.2mm lens diameter, so I really like how it looks! It isn't too large in my eye, so it's very natural, actually. I ordered these in PLANO prescription, so I wear them with my glasses now; they give me a cute look, but they don't make me look bug-eyed, which is a good thing! I definitely recommend 14.2mm and 14.5mm lenses because the enlargement is just enough for smaller eyes.

Comfort: 5/5

During the time I've been wearing these lens, I haven't felt any discomfort from the lens at all. They are very thin and they feel moisturized in my eye. I believe that the only time I've felt any discomfort was when my eyes were very dry and the lens would not un-suction from my eye! ww It was kind of a challenge, but I got it out without damaging my eye by running my eye with the saline solution while taking it out.

Overall: 3.5/5

These are really nice lens! I can't believe how comfortable they feel and how the halo effect doesn't make the lens majorly slide in my eyes. These are very hard to find, so I recommend you looking for them with a range of $30 to even $50 or $60 because of the Japanese market pricing for circle lens. They're very natural and subtle, but great for wearing if you don't want a huge eye color change. If I was still a student, I would wear them to school. www

Thanks for reading my review!

Beware of FAKE CIRCLE LENSES

A few weeks ago,
I decided to do some experiments on circle lenses
I heard about the Rubbing Alcohol Dye Safety test, so I decided to try it on my already expired
Barbie Eye Princess Lace Blue lenses

So the test goes like this: 
1) Fill a small dish with rubbing alcohol liquid
2) Place a contact lens into the solution
3) Wait for a minute to two minutes
4) Take it out of the solution and place it on a piece of tissue or absorbing paper
5) With a cotton q-tip, rub the colored parts of the contact lens in circle-like patterns for about 30 seconds
6) Observe the q-tip. If the q-tip has any coloring on it, that indicates that the contact lens' dye is not printed inside the lens, but rather printed on top of the lens.

Color lens should never have dye touching your eye! It is very dangerous and will damage your eyes as time progresses and you wear them often.

The blue dye rubbed off onto the q-tip! (> <||)

After a few more rubs, the entire dye and design came off!! (; ^ ;)
This is really saddening for me to see.

Please be aware that you cannot wear the lens that you have soaked in rubbing alcohol...

||orz I'm really sad that there are fake lens
So please,
Be careful when you buy circle lens! You should always make sure they are safe!

Dolly Wink Cornetto Pink Lens Review

Hello, everybody!!
Today, I'm doing a review on

Dolly Wink Cornetto Pink



Both lenses

One lens

Information:
Color: Pink
Water content: 48%
Diameter: 19.8mm
Manufacturer: EOS
Base curve: 8.6
Duration: 1 year/12 months
Disposable soft lens

Design and Color: 2.5/5

I thought these lenses would be a decent pink color near the middle, but it turns out they look very green and yellow instead! Figures, though, because these lenses are 4 tone. It was kind of disappointing, but the design totally made up for the lack of pink color. I totally love how pretty the design is!! It looks like flare patterns or flower petals to me.

Enlargement: 4/5

I'd say that Dolly Wink lenses are not truly 19.8mm; I compared them to my MX-21 lenses and they look about 14.5mm. It still enlarges pretty well and there is definitely a size difference from my natural eye compared to when I wear the lens.

Comfort: 5/5

These are absolutely amazing at keeping my eye hydrated the entire day! I don't need to use eye drops for these lens. The lens don't seem to shift in my eye, which is a good sign since my base curve is 0.3mm below the lens' base curve. My vision is very clear when looking through these lens! I'm very happy about the vision being clear because I have had problems with circle lens' prescription power before.

Overall: 3.5/5

The Cornetto lens are very cool in design! It does not have the color of pink, but the design does make it unique. I think, next time, I would recommend getting a different color other than pink because you will not get a pink color from Cornetto lens series. If you like green colors, I would definitely recommend you to get this! It looks very pretty in photos as well.

You can find these lenses for sale HERE!

These lenses come with a super-duper cute case as well!

G&G Blossom Brown Lens Review

Before I start
I apologize for the messy quality of the pictures!!
It's been a really busy week for me and I look so tired ||orz
So now...

I'm reviewing

G&G Blossom Brown

One lens comparison
Both lens

Information: 
Color: Brown
Water content: 38%
Diameter: 14.5mm
Manufacturer: G&G
Base curve: 8.6
Duration: 1 year/ 12 months
Disposable soft lens

Design and Color: 4/5

The brown really looks very golden-yellow to me, but I guess it is considered as a brown..? I'm not very fond of yellow tints, but I think it looks OK on my eyes. I believe that the yellow would look super beautiful on a lighter eye color, but that is just my opinion. The blossom design is really pretty and it reminds me of slightly curved tidal waves.

Enlargement: 3.5/5

14.5mm are really a nice match for my liking right now. It gives me incentive to wear some makeup... just the minimal necessities. The black ring makes it look a bit smaller than it really is, but nevertheless, it is still pleasing and I definitely notice a change in enlargement.

Comfort: 3/5

I'd say that these aren't the greatest lens to wear for a whole 8 to 10 hours. They start to sting after having them in for 4 hours. I tried eye drops, but it really wasn't helpful. I would love to wear these out longer, but I guess it will only be for photos and short trips outside.

Overall: 3.5/5

I like these lenses, but I'm not sure if I can appreciate them to its fullest because of the uncomfortable dryness in my eyes. Perhaps, my opinion will change later on. Not a bad purchase, though! It was a nice price, so I am very happy I got them. They look mystic in their own way. (*^_^*)


Halloween is almost here!! What are you dressing up as?

I want to cosplay as Iruka Umino (from Naruto), but we'll see how everything goes!!

See you later!!

MX-21 Black Lens Review

Hello!
Today, I'm reviewing



MX-21 Black

Information:
Color: Black
Diameter: 14.5mm
Water content: 38%
Base curve: 8.6mm
Duration: 1 year/12 months
Disposable soft lens

One lens
Both lens

Design and Color: 4/5

The MX-21 Black lens are very hard to find reviews for. I tried searching many sites for reviews, but there were barely any. For the design of the lens, I really love how the spikes are meant to blend into your natural eye color; it really does blend! I'm very happy with the color as well. It's a solid black, but it doesn't look too alien-like. The only thing I would not prefer is when the circle lens slides in your eye. When it does, you can really see the white in your eye.

Enlargement: 3.5/5

These don't look very enlarging, but still gives off a dolly and cute look! I really love these lens because the enlargement was just enough for me to wear it everywhere without people knowing that I have circle lens on. I think I could even wear this daily if I wanted to!

Comfort: 4/5

At first, I had a little trouble finding the right side of the lens because the front and back looks almost exactly the same. Once I found the right side, though, I felt nothing at all. My eyelashes gave me some difficulty, but the lens themselves were not the cause of my eyelashes! w w w w w

Overall: 4/5

I really love how much these lens make my eyes a lot more interesting! The enlargement is just right for everyday wear and the comfort is really great. When you don't have to use eye drops, it is a miraculous thing! I really recommend these lens because they blend so well and look so nice and natural.

Back to normal today
I took this picture with my normal camera angle because today was just a very normal day
