Hello!
Today i'm going to be reviewing the famous Geo Tri Colour/World Brown circle lenses.
They are lenses worn by many famous japanese models such as my favourite Suzuki twins Ami&Aya.

So let's start!

                                                                   BASIC INFO
                                                                   Diameter:14mm
                                                                   B.C.:8.6 mm
                                                                   Life Span:1 year
                                                                   Power Available:0.00-8.00

How they look in their bottles.


And how they look on me :)




Close up of the circle lenses.

Colour and Desing:4/5
I love the colour!In the photo they lenses look kinda green but in natural light they have this hazel light brown colour with a hint of green.Their design is more opaque than pixelated and i like it as well. :)

Comfort:4/5
They are very comfortable!If you want to wear them staright to 8 hours though you are definitely going to need some eyedrops.You also don't feel them in your eyes at all!At least for the first 2-3 hours!

Enlargement:3/5
They are not the most enlarging circle lenses.Their diameter is 14 mm and they don't have a black limbal ring so they are on the more natural side which I LOVE!My eyes are also naturally very big(so i can't really tell) which is not the case for everyone but still these are not the most appropriate lenses if you want them to enlarge your eyes.If you don't go for the dolly/ulljang type though these are perfect for you!

Overall:I really like these lenses.Their colour is amazing,they look very natural and they are comfortable as well.Their enlargement isn't very big yet they are perfect if you are looking for natural circle lenses. ^__^

*Service:As my first time reviewing circle lenses from LensVillage i should talk about their service as well.
The shipping was super fast(only one week),the communication with the LensVillage team was awesome,the packaging was cute and very well taken care off.Basically there's no negative i could point out LensVillage's service is excellent. =)

Kimchi Maki Grey Review


Hello there, lovelies~.  Just another long-awaited review to post.  This time for some wonderful lenses, the ever-so awesome Lens Village was kind enough to sponsor me.  (Thanks!)



Enlargement: 9./5/10  As I remember these clock in at about 15 mm in actual DIA, and they definitely looke like it. Big.



Colour/Design: 9.5/10  The design of these is gorgeous.  The petal-like spread of colour and line, the opaque + light grey, and the colour(s) themselves.  The orange-brown next to the gold is so cool! Ahhhhh~.  And the pupil-hole is a rarely-seen star-shape, instead of the usual circle. o:




(flash)


- EOS Dollyeye Grey vs. Kimchi Maki Grey -


- Kimchi Maki Yellow vs. Kimchi Maki Grey -


Comfort: 9.5/10  Like other Kimchi/i.Fairy/Vassen, these lenes were rather comfy (although 'heavy'-feeling after a few hours, due to how thick the pigment is, likely).



Overall, I like these lenses exactly as much as I liked my Kimchi Maki Yellow.  That is-- a lot. The colours are spectacularly light and opaque and the design is like no other series out there. I only wish there were more colours available besides the yellow and grey in this series~.


And here are the extra pics, as usual: One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine and Ten.

I. Fairy Tofi Blue Review

So I decided to finally open up the blue version of these! Reviewed the gold version of these lenses: HERE



Lens Info
Diameter: 16.2mm
Life Span: Yearly
Power Available: 0.00 to -8.50
B.C: 8.6mm
Natural Window Light

Side View

Indoor
Flash

 
Color&Design:
I already had an idea of how these would appear as I had reviewed the tofi gold lenses already. And like the gold ones, these too are vibrant with a very unique design. The blue is a very pretty true blue and there is a nice halo seen despite the black ring there.
Enlargement:
Diameter: 16.2mm
I will make a post further on diameters later on. But for now, these are stated as 16.2mm and so a clear enlarging effect is given.
Comfort:
These were comfy in my eyes for quite some time before feeling the need for eyedrops. But for me personally, I.fairy lenses always seem to do well for comfort.
Full Face:



Overall:
I like these! I prefer these over the tofi gold lenses. They are on the unatural side though, so I'm not sure of when I'd wear these out. Oh how I wish they had more anime conventions here or something T^T haha
 
Hope you like these too!

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



Lens Info
Diameter: 15mm
B.C: 8.6mm
Life Span: Yearly
Power Available: 0.00 to -8.00

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 :)

I. Fairy Casper Blue

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
Full Face:

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 :)
