Neo Tri Tone Brown aka Princess Eyes Camel Brown Review

1 eye; flash indoors
Diameter: 14.2mm
B.C.: 8.6mm

Water content: 42%

Color/design: 3/5
Extra natural. It has a nice design, but it's hardly lighter than my natural eye color. 

both eyes; flash indoors
Comfort: 4/5
I think my right eye is extra sensitive to different BC, while my left eye fits +-0.1 BC perfectly. The lenses are very thin and soft, but still slightly drying. Somehow the Neo Sunflower series felt much better.


Enlargement: 1/5
Not much to say here. At least it enlarges a little.

Overall: 3/5
A nice natural, daily kinda lens. Maybe if you want to look like Rola or some other Vivi model? Nobody will notice that you're wearing these unless you glare into their face like My Boss My Hero. Even then they might not notice. So I've been wearing these in lieu of my regular contacts because I'm running out of my normal lenses. 
I got these at the Richmond Night Market in Vancouver. That's probably the shadiest thing I've ever done. But it was the only stall selling Neo; the rest were selling Geo, which I know for sure are popular for fakes. So I only have the name from the bottle, but I'm pretty sure these are the same as the English marketed Princess Eyes Camel Brown. Their website is chocoeyes.com, but the banner at their stall was http://227lens.weebly.com.

Long eye

I tried
no makeup!
So I watched Season 4 Korra and I was inspired to try getting this character's elongated eyes. I also wanted to eyebrow. I hope that doesn't spoil anything for people who haven't watched it yet. Here is my poor attempt to document the process.

The false lashes are a bit much for the character, but are the most effective way to change your eye shape.

EOS Fay 3 Tone / Fairy Blue Review

1 eye comparison; indoor

Diameter: 14.5mm
B.C.: 8.8mm

Color/design: 4/5
a nice opaque medium blue that doesn't look too unnatural

Comfort: 4/5
The 0.1mm flatter base curve for me means slight shifting or sliding, but otherwise comfort is fine.

I think there are actually 2 sizes, 14.8 and 14.5. Some enlargement, but at least it's not alien-like.

Overall: 4/5
These are good cosplay lenses that are mostly opaque and light enough to show up in photos without appearing too unnatural or flat. I think they are suitable for many types of characters because of its natural size.

Dejavu Fiberwig Extra Long Mascara Review

I have very few posts, so here's a review. Forgive me for the bad photos. It's surprisingly difficult to take photos of your eyeballs from the same exact angle.
Here are my bare lashes, one side curled.
Here one side with Fiberwig mascara.
Here one side with Fiberwig and the other side curled only.
Left: curled
Right: with mascara





I'm clearly doing something wrong here because my comparisons are pretty lame. However, I did only apply 1 coat and I brushed through my lashes after with a spoolie. The length is much more noticeable with 3 coats, but here I'm only using it as a daily mascara and I like natural-looking lashes. Fiberwig doesn't give you volume and somewhat holds your curl, but it's super easy to wash off with warm water. It doesn't clump or smudge, but may flake a tiny bit. It's a good daily mascara for longer, feathery lashes. I got my Dejavu Fiberwig in Taiwan. :P

i.Fairy Moe Moe Brown Review + Sasha Braus + Flame Princess

Sasha Braus, k-pop style

i.Fairy Moe Moe Brown

So Jan 25-26, I went to Animation on Display. If you haven't already checked out our masquerade skit, go here.
Please also check out our Facebook page, There Will Be Caek.

Golden lenses are pretty handy. I used these for Flame Princess for half of last year, and now I'm using these for Sasha. I like to wear these for special occasions, too. The lenses are especially cat-like, and require makeup, otherwise I'll look like an alien.

Diameter: 15 mm (16 mm effect)
Water Content: 55%
B.C.: 8.6
kawaii Sasha with disgruntled LeviColor/Design: 5/5
Like most color lenses, the brightness depends on the lighting, but the color is clearly visible in most settings. The actual color varies from a cool, greenish hazel to a warm, grayish gold. The lens design gives a crystalline effect to your eyes. Moe Moe is a great choice for all your gigantic, golden-eyed cosplays. I obviously really like these.


Flame Princess

Enlargement: 4/5
They are huge. But not quite as alien-like as something like Princess Mimi. Probably because the limbal ring is not as thick and harsh.






sad Sasha

Comfort: 4/5
Moe Moe is very comfortable for the large size. They are not as perfect as normal lenses or Neo lenses, but they are not particularly irritating or drying within the regular 8 hours. There is only a slight discomfort initially because my eyes have to adjust to the huge diameter. Then I only need a few eye drops towards the end of my 8 or more hours. >_>;
droop eye Sasha

Sasha is sad that Mikasa didn't share her bread.

On another note, my second attempt at droop eye, gyaru makeup seems to have worked. Very droopy.
