G-307 Gothic 3 Tones Violet Review

There are a lot of colors in this series and I happen to have the green, violet and turquoise ones. I have reviewed the green and turquoise ones before, and now it is time for the violets!
Diameter: 14.5mm
Life Span: Yearly
Power Available: 0.00 to -10.00
B.C: 8.8mm
Under the dollyeye label, manufactured by EOS

Color&Design: 
Surprisingly I liked these! Or it must be that I already expected these to be darker and more natural from my experience with the past two lenses in the gothic series. The violet is really soft and isn't the kind of purple you usually see on circle lenses, this is more pale and pastel. The design blends in well with my eyes and is quite natural aside from the color.

Enlargement:  
Diameter: 14.5mm
This kind of enlargement is the perfect one for me, personally. The enlargement isn't too noticeable yet the lenses do a good job subtly.

Comfort: 
If there was a half star, I'd rather give these 3.5. The reason being that these lenses actually have a base curve of 8.8mm opposed to the usual 8.6mm. Therefore the lenses are more curved and can feel slightly tight if 8.6mm fits well. As for dryness, these are quite average and eyedrops may be used for added comfort.

Full Face:




Overall: 
In the past, I gave the other lenses from this series a lower mark because of my disappointment in the color. However, as I was not expecting much from these, I was quite surprised! The color is something quite different from the typical violet lenses I see now and these are great for wearing out as a natural pair even though they are violet.



That's all for this review ^^

Princess Mimi Almond Brown

Color&Design: 
They really are an almond color! Or taupe if you want to get more technical with the color - a dark brown with a slight tint of grey. The design is really simple as you can see from the lens shot and the limbal ring is fairly thick, but not too overpowering. As for the kind of look it gives off, a natural dolly look is what it is~

Enlargement:  
Diameter: 15mm
I think this size for enlargement is good. If it were a tad bit smaller, I'd like it even more :P

Comfort: 
I thought these were quite comfy! I did experience a bit of dryness after 5 hours but for me that is good because I tend to have drier eyes.

Comparisons Between:
Grang Grang Brown vs Grang Grang Choco vs Mimi Almond Brown


Overall: 
These are probably my most natural pair of lenses I have aside from my grang grang lenses (which I reviewed: HERE). I like how they don't make your eyes appear black or honey colored (though I do like honey brown colored eyes too). These are just strictly brown.



Do you prefer natural lenses over vibrant and bold lenses?
I can't say, I like both! depending on my mood and what kind of look I am aiming for :)

Lens Info

Color&Design: 
These are amazing <3 The color is so vibrant and stands out so much. Very opaque and the colors chosen go beautifully together. These are definitely fake looking and scream for attention. It seems though, that with flash, the colors come off as more of a pastel color.. that would be so awesome if there were pastel lenses too :O

Enlargement:  
Diameter: 16.2mm
Deng, they're big. Heavy makeup for a night out would be best suited for these (also keeping in mind of how vibrant they are as well).

Comfort: 
I thought these would be less comfortable because these weren't the best for Jennifer in terms of comfort (her review of these lenses: click). However, they were surprisingly very okay for me. Eye drops would suffice for me. But remember, comfort differs for each individual!

Overall: 
LOVE them! The design is complex and intricate as well as the color combination. They are super opaque and the color stands out like there's no tomorrow haha The only thing about this is that they might not be the best for everyday wear and heavier makeup is best suited for these lenses.

I. Fairy Keizen Violet 16.2mm


Here's a review for some very vibrant violet lenses with a pink tint ;)
I was very happy with them as they exceeded my expectations! I thought they'd turn out dark :O

Color&amp;Design: 
These are very bright! I LOVE it! And the violet has a tint of pink, both of best worlds B) I was actually contemplating whether I should get the pink or purple/violet, I thought these were a mix of both but thought they'd be more violet. There is a thin ring which gives the dolly eye look and the color has a nice center ring of brown/yellow which help it to not look too cut off from your actual eye color.

Enlargement:  
Diameter: 16.2mm
'Nuff said :P

Comfort: 
I had no discomfort with these lenses, some dryness here and there. So eye drops might be the best thing to carry around for any type of contact lenses for added hydration.

Overall: 

I have been saying this quite a lot but I.fairy lenses are really living up to their model photos! They are as bright as they look in the photos (of course lighting applies to this) and I am super satisfied ^^ These were not creepy looking despite the color and size and nearly being pink.. haha I really like them :) 


** I apologize for the photos not being as clear as I hoped they would be, I'd like to get a new camera soon T^T

Although my camera was not cooperating with me for this review, you could see very well that the color of the lenses are still as vibrant as I hoped! These didn't let me down and I didn't think that they would be this true to pic ^^

So that's all for the review :)

I. Fairy Jewel Green Review


Hello!
I'm back with a lens review for the I. Fairy Jewel Green lenses! There were many who liked the blue version of these (so did I!) so I was really looking forward to the greens as well! But... let's just say I like blue more haha

B.C: 8.6mm

Color&Design: 
I have the blue version of these lenses and was completely in love with the color although they were a bit dark as well. The greens turned out to be even darker and the shade of green didn't stand out. Nonetheless, they are still pretty lenses. However, if compared to the blues, I prefer these less. The design, I must say, is gorgeous. I love the jagged edges and even though the colors do not blend, the design makes it work into my eye color very well.

Enlargement:  
Diameter: 15mm
Anything above 14.2 enlarges my eyes well! So these are 15mm and honestly, the largest I would go for everyday wear if not just seldomly. 

Comfort: 
For a size this large, the water content at 55% make up for it. They are comfortable and I did not feel them in my eyes. After a few hours though, eye drops may be needed. I have dry eyes when it comes to contact lenses though, so it may vary for each individual.

Overall: ★.5
(I need to find a half star haha)
Like previously mentioned, because I was so in love with the blues that they raised my expectations for the greens. I think these are still very pretty. The green color blends in nicely and isn't bold but quite soft so I would say that they would be great for someone who is looking for very enlarging natural green circle lenses.

i.Fairy Tofi Gold Review


It's time for my review of the i.Fairy Tofi Gold lenses!

So like most of you know, these are my first pair of gold lenses and I was very excited to try them. Well, I have worn them for a bit now and so.. here it is~

Diameter: 16.2mm
Power Available: 0.00 to -8.50
Life Span: Yearly

B.C: 8.6mm

With Makeup (tutorial for this look HERE)


Color&amp;Design: 
So, I was super impressed by the color of these lenses! They actually came out exactly the same as the model photos! But I give them a 4 still because they are actually more yellow than "gold," which I do not mind but oh man if these were actually gold I'd be dancing on tables! The design is quite unique from what I think. Although there are many lenses with flower designs, this one resembles a sunflower very closely! You even see the detailing of the individual "petals." 

Enlargement:  
Diameter: 16.2mm
These... again are on the HUGE side ^^;; But I have been getting used to them :P So much for me complaining about all these big sizes before! Once again though, they are very large yet they do not seem overwhelming, possibly due to the light color.

Comfort: 
I have been liking the comfort levels for the i. Fairy lenses! These are the second pair from them that I have tried and both are big in diameter yet comfy.

Overall: 
If these were actually gold, I'd probably rate these a 7/5 haha They are super close to the model's photos and I am not disappointed. Perfect for cosplaying, which I would totally(and might possibly) do! So, if you want attention and stares, go for these. They are bright and give off a mysterious look to your eyes. What you see is what you get with these~ With these lenses however, I'd say go big or go home with darker and heavier makeup as they are an unnatural color and big in size.

My fave photo of the bunch! I played with filters on this one though :X

What do you think about GOLD lenses?
