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

I won Anna's (Fenua Beaute) Giveaway! Twist Tornado Green Circle Lens Review

It's been months late, but I finally got around to do this!
First, and most importantly, I want to thank Anna for hosting the great giveaway on her blog
She's a fantastic blogger and her layout is spectacular! If you don't already follow her on GFC, go and do it. I'm sure you'll enjoy all of her posts as much as I do. She writes in both English and German, which I find is very unique and dandy!!

I won:

Twist Tornado Green (from Speciallens.com)!



One lens

Both lens (with eyeliner w)

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

Design and Color: 4/5

When I first saw these lenses online, I thought they didn't look spectacular but I decided to try it anyway. I said to myself, "Hey, maybe they'll be nice on my eyes and I might actually like them." And I was right! I really love the design of these lens on my eyes. They are swirls, and remind me a bit of the Barbie Eye lens... Color-wise, the green really shows nicely and changes my eye color. It really was a good pick.

Enlargement: 3.5/5

Since it is a 14.5mm diameter lens, it enlarges just enough to make my eyes look bigger! I'm glad that they are only 14.5mm, though, because I don't prefer to look like a bug w w w I think 14.5mm is a good match for me as of right now. It still gives me a cute and dolly look that I want.

Comfort: 4/5

I didn't have to use eye drops for the first 5 hours! I'm pretty satisfied that it didn't dry out during the day since, in my town, the sun is getting pretty bright even though it's supposed to be wintertime w w I think it was a miracle that these lens can withstand the glaring sunlight, so 5 hours without eye drops is totally amazing in this aspect. I think, when it is less sunny, these lens won't dry out at all the entire day.

Overall: 4/5

Really in love with these lens right now! I suggest getting these for a nice eye color change, and if you still want a black rim around the edge of the circle lens. I imagine it would be great for cosplay and even modeling pictures. w w w w OK, all modeling pictures that I have seen look good with circle lens, but that is just my opinion (I think I may have read too much Ageha and Popteen years back). Thanks, Anna and Speciallens.com!

Thanks for reading this review!

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.

Gothic 3tones Turquoise Circle Lens Review

Hello!!!

Today's review is for:


Gothic 3tones Turquoise!

One lens inserted
Both lens

Information:
Color: Blue (turquoise)
Water content: 38%
Diameter: 14.5mm
Manufacturer: Dueba
Base curve: 8.6
Duration: 12 months/1 year
Disposable soft lens

In this case, I'm wearing these lens everyday, so they will only last for about 3 months.

Design and Color: 4/5

First of all, the lens is... well, a tri-colored lens! I really love how much it blends with my real eye color in natural light because of the design pattern. The color is pretty opaque and changes my eye color. The only thing I don't really prefer much is the pixel-like outer ring of grey color because it proves that the blue eye color is fake. But from afar, it looks like the real deal!

Enlargement: 3.5/5

I'd say that the Gothic 3tones series are very natural in both color and in enlargement even though it is 14.5mm. It enhances my eyes and makes them shine, but the enlargement is not over the top and super dolly looking. Though, I really like how the lens are easy to wear and great for using daily... or weekly, in some cases.

Comfort: 4/5

These lens are pretty comfortable! At first, it felt a little uncomfortable because circle lens are thicker than regular 1 month/2 week disposable lens made by companies like Acuvue and Freshlook. After a few days of trying these on, it began to feel normal and now I don't have any discomfort from the thickness of the lens at all! The only thing that kind of bothers me is that the lens does slide in my eye sometimes, but that's because my base curve is not exactly 8.6mm. My eye is actually 8.3mm in base curve, but I haven't had much trouble about that.

Overall: 4/5

Lovely lens, great color, subtle but good enlargement; that's what I like about my circle lens! These are really affordable lens that you can wear whether it is for a party, a casual event, or if you just want to bring a little flare to your everyday routine. I'd really recommend this to someone who doesn't want super huge eyes, but just enough to notice a difference!

I took this picture in front of the window sill! The blue color really shows on my brown eyes!!

New Hair!




I got my hair bleached and dyed
But I did this myself!

On Amazon, I found some lovely bleaching kits made by Manic Panic
So I used one of them to bleach my hair

For dark hair, your hair will not completely turn white
It will be a orange-y to yellow color
But don't worry!
Hair dye can fix that in an instant

Next, I used Clairol's Light Ash Blonde hair dye

It made my hair lighter, but retained my orange tint

My makeup was inspired by Egg Magazine:




I used two double eyelid fibers for more of a crease and extra hold!

False Eyelashes!!

Today

I tried mixing eyelashes for a dramatic effect without a lot of eyeliner or eye shadow
In this particular piece,
I didn't use any eye shadow at all!

I used three pairs of eyelashes:


1) Darkness EO Top Eyelash, 473 yen 
2) Decorative (Bottom) Eyelash no.4, 1025 yen
3) Eye Lashes (Extensions), 157 yen


The lashes I bought were very affordable and they feel really soft on my eyelids

First, I put on my eyeliner normally with no flares
Then I applied the Eye Lashes extensions to my top eyelid on the outer corner
After, I put the Darkness lashes on right above the Eye Lashes extensions
Then, I applied the Decorative Eyelash to the bottom of my eye
(I usually put the edge of the eyelash 2cm away from the outer corner of my eye)
I touch up with eyeliner on the top of my eyelid and the outer corner of my eyelashes
Also, I draw a crease line near my tear ducts to extend it and outline a little below the waterline; the inner corner of my eye

The result is


Pretty dramatic!

No eye shadow is required to make this
I find that my eye shadow creates a very powdery effect on my skin, which I don't like unless I am going to take pictures (the lighting is very important!)
And I was very satisfied with it

It is very dolly
But won't make your makeup look caked on either

Can't decide which eyelash to wear?
You can mix and match your eyelashes and just try them out like this!!
This will not only save you time,
But it will also help you save money instead of buying thicker false lashes!

What I'm wearing:
-Skin 79 BB Cream (Pink Edition)
-K Palette Long Lasting Eyeliner (24h wp)
-Darkness EO eyelash
-Eye Lashes extensions eyelash
-Decorative Eyelash bottom eyelash
-Feelcon 30 Days Comfy Black circle lens (14.5mm)

Stay tuned for more!

Ifax Black Lens Review

Hello!

It's time for another circle lens review!!
This time, it is going to be on:

Ifax Black Circle Lens
from SecretEyes.org

In the case

One lens on

Both lens on

Unfortunately, the lens I received were defective!!
I will not be wearing these lens again (QAQ)

They look GORGEOUS, though!!

Design/Color: 9/10

I absolutely love the fact that these lens are only 14mm and they're black colored, too! Nowadays, there aren't as many non-GEO lenses that are colored in black and are in the diameter of 14mm. The flower-like pattern makes it blend very well, and inside its petals are a dark grey color. It doesn't look ink black, but enough black to change your eye color.

Comfort: 3/10

Unfortunately, these lens were defective! The prescription/power was -0.25 off, they slid in my eye constantly, and were very irritating and painful at times. Perhaps, if they weren't defective, I would have had a better experience with these lens.

Enlargement: 8/10

The lens doesn't enlarge too much, but the black-on-white contrast with my eyeball and the color of the lens makes it seem bigger. I think 14mm and 14.2mm lens in dark colors work well for me. I love the enlargement of this!

Overall: 7/10

These are really nice lens! I would consider getting another pair of these. Hopefully, the next ones I order will not be defective. I must've gotten a bad pair. I haven't heard any bad reviews about these lens. If you're looking for a black circle lens that isn't too big or too black, these might be for you!

See you!
