EOS J-101 Brown Review

I unfortunately don't have a lot of pictures of this one.
Diameter: 14.0mm
B.C.: 8.6mm
Water Content: 38%

Color/Design: 2/5
I had high hopes because the pink ones are very bright, but alas, these turned out a dark orange. Not a bad color, just not golden like I was hoping. It's only 1-toned, so no beautiful blending, but at least it doesn't look fake.

Enlargement: 1/5
Well, I wasn't getting this for enlargement. It's hard to fine bright gold lenses that are small.

Comfort: 4/5
Honestly, I don't remember the comfort, but I don't think it was bad.

Overall: 3/5
Disappointing, really.

EOS (Old) Adult Green E-203 Review 2.0

Oh hai. I have a back log of reviews.

So I believe this EOS line is discontinued, but the design is still available in toric. I got these a long time ago from someone who used to do batch preorders, but they stopped. :< They were practically wholesale price. Anyway, on to the review.

Diameter: 14.0mm
B.C.: 8.6mm
Water Content: 38%

Color/Design: 5/5
It's good enough that I bought it a second time. Bright aqua. I particularly like the purple limbal ring.

Enlargement: 1/5
There's really no enlargement to speak of.

Comfort: 4/5
Perfectly acceptable comfort. The usual mild dryness after 8 hours.





Overall: 4/5
Really good for bright aqua eyes without alien enlargement. Too bad they're discontinued. These were the best cheap small lenses I found. 

I hear I-dol lenses are the new desio/solitica dupes, but prettier and more natural. Also the new trend in circle lenses seems to be...small lenses?

Neo Princess Eyes 3-tone Green Review

Diameter: 14.2mm
B.C.: 8.6mm
Water Content: 42%

Color/Design: 2/5
The design is pretty, but the color is pretty transparent. They turn my eyes slightly olive green. Very natural, but dark.

Enlargement: 1/5
Slight enlargement.

Comfort: 4/5
Neo lenses are generally very thin and comfortable.

Overall: 3/5

Good for a natural look, but useless for cosplay. For some reason the purple version of this series is very light/vibrant. I wish I could have gotten those instead.

Geolica Holicat Barbie Hazel Review

It's been a while since my last review, so have some horrendous pictures from the one time I wore these lenses.

Official specs here: http://www.geo21eye.com/product/colorlens/detail/11

Diameter: 14.5mm
B.C.: 8.7mm
Water Content: 40%

no flash, but weird light

Color/design: 4/5
The color is a fairly vibrant golden beige and the design is nice. The limbal ring is a tad thick and dark for my tastes.

Enlargement: 3/5
The lenses are definitely big, but not the biggest of 14.5mm lenses.

Comfort: 3/5
With a matching 8.7 BC, I was hoping these lenses would be more comfortable, but I guess the 0.08mm center thickness was too thick. They weren't that uncomfortable, but I probably wouldn't get them again.

flash

Overall: 3/5
I wanted to like these, but the comfort, design, and longevity (1 month wear) don't make these lenses worth buying again for the price. If more lenses came in 1 box and/or they were more comfortable, I would consider them. Luckily, these were some freebies I won from Uniqso.

Also, this wig is a curly blonde wig from Daiso. I tried straightening it with the hot water method. Then i tried straightening certain resistant sections with a flat iron. That's why it looks so janky up close. There were no good friends' wigs available for restyling at the time. Honestly, for $6, it completes the look, as long as you don't look too closely.

Vassen (i.Fairy) Super Crystal Red

At the request of my real life followers, I have returned! I have several contact lens reviews pending since the contacts have all expired. :<

Sometimes Super Crystal Red is labeled i.Fairy or Vassen. I wore these for my 1/2 Prince cosplay.

indoor

outdoor, with flash

Diameter: 14.5mm
B.C.: 8.6mm
Water content: 55%

Color/design: 5/5
It's pretty bright red. I was expecting it to come out darker, but I really have no complaints.

Enlargement: 4/5 
It's quite large. I don't believe it's 14.5mm.

indoor, backlit

Comfort: 4.5/5 
For a large diameter lens, I would give it a 5. But since it's so big, I can still feel it..being big. Either way, one of the most comfortable lenses I've tried.

outdoor, in shadow

Overall: 5/5 
It's a very pretty, enlarging, vibrant red lens. I would buy it again.

Beuberry Chariot Grey Review

aka Vassen Sweet Eyes, aka Max Elegance Tri-Tone?

natural light, 1 eye comparison

Diameter: 15.0mm
B.C.: 8.6mm
Water content: 55%

Color/design: 4/5
A little unnatural/cartoony, but great color. It's a light aqua, not grey, despite the name.

flash

indoor light

Enlargement: 4/5 
It's humongous.

Comfort: 4/5 
It's okay for a super large circle lens.

Overall: 4/5 
It's good for cosplaying. What more do you want? A bunch of sample pictures in different lighting?

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.

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

Both eyes; indoor

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

Outdoor

Enlargement: 2/5
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.

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

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

Color/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.




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.

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. >_>;


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.

EOS Old Adult Green E-203 Review

So, this photo is a tad shopped, but the color/brightness is mostly accurate. Bought these from Honeycolor.com
Specs:
Diameter: 14.0mm
Water Content: 38%
B.C.: 8.6
Eos also offers a toric version of these.
Color/Design: 4/5
The name says green, but it's a pretty aqua color. Bright enough for cosplay. The lens design is a bit harsh, so I think it's more suited for serious characters rather than dolly characters.
Enlargement: 1/5
The design is printed about 1mm away from the edge, and they're a bit off center. So sometimes my natural iris peeks out.
Comfort: 4/5 or inconclusive
One of my lenses was mislabeled, so I'm basically blind in one eye and restricted to wearing these in the house. So I can't really give a good comfort rating, but the few minutes I've worn these were pretty comfy.
Overall: 4/5
Try them out if you want a nice aqua color, but a 13.8mm effect. I bought new ones from a different seller, so I'll review them again later.

About Honeycolor.com...
Large selection of lenses, slightly cheaper than Pinkyparadise, better sales
Standard shipping (2+ weeks for my package?)
Crappy service (unless it's improved?)
I emailed them about my mislabeled lens, but got no reply. I think Eos might have put a -7.5 on a -1.5 bottle. So I disputed and got my money back for that pair. My sister's lenses were totally fine.

Korra at AX2013 and Neo (Cosmo) Sunflower (Edge) Blue

I'm not really sure of the official name of the lenses...
Anyways, I went to Anime Expo not too long ago, so here's a sample of my Korra cosplay!

photo credit: shutterfoo

Outdoor shot, probably with flash? I look paler than irl, so it's possible.
Let me list and review every product used! ^o^
1. Kao Liese Prettia Bubble Hair Dye in Ash Brown
 - best hair dye ever; except for strong ammonia
 - foam is easy to apply
 - enough foam to plausibly cover hair to your waist (maybe)
 - very good at evening hair color
I had previously gotten my hair dyed slightly too light at a salon in Taiwan, but Liese darkened that part and lightened my roots. Slight ombre effect after several washes, but at least everything's brown.
2. Dr. Jart Premium B.B. Cream
- or something like that
- doesn't make my face itch and flake off
- so it's probably good for dry skin types
You're not really supposed to have SPF, but I can't use anything else without turning into a leper.
3. Majolica Majorca Eyebrow Mascara - brown! :D
Ok, I don't feel like listing anymore products. Time for a more in depth review!

Neo Sunflower Blue

Color/Design - 4
-relatively vibrant and opaque in flash and bright settings
-dark in shadow and indoor
Comfort - 5
-after adjusting to the thickness, comfier than normal contacts
Enlargement - 2
-14.2 mm, what do you expect?
Overall - 4

Comfiest contacts ever. Not even as dry as my normal Acuvues after a whole day.
Got them from koreabigeyes.com
I actually wanted aqua, but they weren't in my prescription. Also, these are quarterly, even though the site said yearly. Dunno
About KoreaBigEyes...
-Probably the best selection of Neo lenses online
-Shipping is slower, probably since they're based in Thailand
-Customer service is a bit lacking, because I got worried since it took a month or so to ship, and they didn't reply to any of my emails
-My package arrived eventually, so maybe they should find a different shipping company

LINE for fun; no lens

Dolly Wink Natural Dolly (upper) and Real Nude (lower)
I might have gone a bit overboard with the lashes, but this was my first successful application by myself. These lashes really are quite natural and soft. I just need to apply them better. And maybe wear more eyeshadow/eyeliner to hide them better. I could probably just wear the lashes on their own though.

I-Lux Innova Calaview 2-tone Sky Blue Review

Starting off my blog with a contact lens review! OwO

design looks like GEO Nudy!

Diameter - 14.0 mm

Thickness - 0.10 mm

Water Content - 60%
Duration - 1 Year
Color/Design - 3
Comfort - 4
Enlargement - 3
Overall - 3

1 lens; indoor light; flash; window light

I was hoping for a brighter aqua color, but these turned out a bit dull, especially if you're not in my face. The design looks similar to the Geo Nudy Series, so if you're looking for a cheaper alternative in Taiwan, then these might be okay.
These are surprisingly comfortable for being 0.10mm thick. Initially they are slightly irritating, but after 30sec or so they feel like my regular contacts. After 4-6 hours they start feeling dry and after 8 hours they feel like my regular contacts after 12 hours. I didn't have to put drops in too often though. So these are very comfy, but not quite as good as regular lenses. 

For 14.0mm, these enlarge very well because the design is printed very close to the edge.

not very noticeable = 3=;

I'm not sure if I would get these again, but the price is so good (~$10)! Maybe if I was going for something more natural.

Apparently the Calaview lenses are FDA approved. I checked the FDA site. =w=
