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!!

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!
