Review: Dollyeye Fairy (/EOS WM-205) Brown

Hey there, lovely readers! How've you been? (As you can see, my summer is busier than I thought it would be. @_@)  In any case, here's another long-promised review!  Thanks, as always, to Lens Village for the sponsorship!

(Et comme d'habitude, I prompt you all to check out their blog: it's full of useful lens reviews~. ;] )

Enlargement: 8/10  Ah, yeah. For being 14.8 mm, these lenses really do not enlarge too much. (which I actually prefer.) These look more like they are 14.5 mm, if anything.

Colour/Design: 7.5/10  This series has the popularized 'Sherbet'/'Ruby'/'Big Size' type of design.  That is, a thick ring that has many, long 'spokes' going inward.  The result is that the actual lens colour looks almost like a sunburst.

(flash)

(low light)

Comfort: 10/10  These are one of the many EOS lenses that the 'the Dollyeye' brand OEMs. As you may know, EOS is one of the most comfy brands for me~.

Well. The brown itself is very pretty. Eh-ehm.  Unfortunately, I do not like the design very much: the thick ring and the bunch of 'spokes' going inward reduces the area of the lens that is actually coloured. :/  That is, I really want there to be more coloured area on this lens.  Or at least, a different colour, so that what little there is will really 'pop'.

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

Review: EOS A3 (Bambi) Grey

Hey!  I've had another adventurous (and busy) time recently!  I had a head-cold, hung out with Anna (of Fenua Beauté) a few times, and officially kick-started the transfer process for the fall semester at a new university. :D

Back on topic, though, here are the fairly recent EOS A3 Grey, which were sent as a gift to me by Review Circle Lens (as a thank you for helping out with the site a bit).

(Why yes, my hair is a hot mess.)

Enlargement: 8.5/10  This series is 14.8 mm (Geo's Princess Mimi/Xtra Bambi series is 15.0 and  Geo's original Angel Color Bambi series is 14.2). Compared to the Princess Mimis, these are not all too huge. Maybe the ring on these is too thin for that effect?

Colour/Design: 9/10  Ah, here we are again: this is yet another brand's take on the now-iconic (Geo) Angel Color Bambi design.  The EOS A3 series sort of softens the original Bambi design with a thinner dark circle (which has softer 'cut-ins', itself).

The third, brown/gold tone around the center is also fairly 'soft' compared to both of Geo's Bambi series~.  These lenses are an opaque, medium grey that is rather visible in daylight, and sometimes looks a bit lighter. <3

- (Geo) Angel Color Bambi Sesame Grey vs. EOS A3 (Bambi) Grey -

Comfort: 10/10  Long live EOS and how comfy their lenses are for me!

Overall, the EOS A3 series is one of my favourite incarnations of the original Angel Color Bambi design.  I do wish the colour was lighter/more dramatic (as I usually do with grey lenses). The size is also fairly balanced (I felt like the Geo Princess Mimis were too large for me).  Honestly, though? I will likely be repurchasing the Angel Color Bambi Sesame Greys (the 1 year version, however). Out of the many Bambi versions from different brands, the original is still my favourite. ♥♥

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

And yeah, the promised review of the G&G/Dueba Carnival Solid Red lenses has been postponed:  one of the vials shattered in my bag. (Something I have never had happen.) I am short one lens, now. :/  Uh, here's a preview pic of the one lens I do still have.

Review: EOS Max Super Neon (WM-209) Pink

Hey there~. I just recorded three reviews yesterday! (I'm starting to catch up, finally.) These lenses in particular are from the ever-so-lovely Qoqo.  She used to run a blogshop, Dollilens, but has since moved onto bigger and better things. ;]  --  Anyway, she sent me a little gift box full of the coolest stuff (including these lenses).

(Chubby cheeks~. Haha.)

Enlargement: 9/10   These are 14.8 mm, but not as enlarging as I expected them to be.

Colour/Design:  9.5/10  So despite being the 'Neon' series, this pink is more pastel than neon, hot pink.  Still, the pink is very opaque-- very, very opaque. <3  And the design is not natural at all: the black ring is very thick, and cuts into the pink often.  Fantastic.

(flash)

Comfort: 10/10  As you've heard me say over and over, EOS lenses are very comfortable for me.

(Pink lenses look less intense with my lighter hair...)

All in all, I am a huge fan of the WM-209 Pinks.  I have been since I tried them on the very first time: they're just so very intense and dramatic! That is totally my style. Haha. Overall, they are very costume lens-like. BEST GIFT EVER. <33  THANKS SO MUCH, QQ.

And here are the extra pics, as usual: One, Two, Three, and Four.

Review: EOS Adult (E-203) Green

Ahh, and back to what I know best: circle lenses. Haha.  Anyway, this is a review for the EOS (original) Adult Greens.  The lenses were kindly gifted to me by Review Circle Lens (as a thank you for helping out with the site a bit).  Remember to stop by and add your review! (Or, stop by and look for a review.) Or, you know, do both~!

(EDIT: Finally took new pics of these lenses~)

Enlargement: 7/10  The original Adult series is 14 mm in diameter and pretty much as small as circle lenses can get.

Colour/Design: 9/10  These lenses are very vibrant and rather opaque.  The colour is an intense sort of sea green that looks blue in a lot of lighting. (It even looks grey, on occasion, in pictures.) In real life, though, they look like the sea green colour.

As with the entire original Adult series, the ring/circle is a pale purple colour. Very unique~.  The design also looks very crystalline in a lot of lighting. <3 But even fairly up close to the lenses, they tend to look rather natural.  (I mean this for the whole series, too, having tried the violet and brown as well.)

(flash)

Comfort: 10/10 EOS lenses and my eyes are essentially the best of friends.

(Yikes-- sorry I look so serious/morose. Haha)

Overall, these are about my favourite pair of green lenses in a long time. They're vibrant, have minimal enlargement, and are super comfortable for hours. The original Adult series has yet to disappoint me, really. I might just try the last two colours, grey and blue, so I can really name this as, pretty much, my favourite set of lenses ever. ♥

And here are the extra pics, as usual: One, Two, Three, Four, and Five.

♥ My New Hair (Colour) ♥

Spoiler alert: I kind of went blonde. Or bronde. Or something.

My mother's birthday gift to me was a trip to a hair salon!  I've wanted to go blonde (or ginger) for a while now, so I'm pretty damned happy with the results. <3  Pics are below~! ;P

Before

(with flash)

-------- - ---------

After

(direct sunlight)

I also lightened my eyebrow colour, although it's not very obvious....

(camera flash)

(natural light)

It's easier to see in the pic above, but I kind of have a 'reverse ombre', in that the ends go to a dark/medium brown.

------ - ------

And you would think I'd see a lot of breakage, yeah? Or that my hair would feel brittle. But luckily enough, it's the softest/silkiest it's felt in a long time. <33  Check out the short video below~.

So yeah. I pretty much like it... but really? The longer I look at it, the more I think there's a better blonde out there for me. Or an amazing red. Eh.

Stay bronde/blonde, or go red? Both? Any ideas?...

Review: Bubble Brown (EOS WM-101 Brown)

[Ahaha~. I just filmed a bunch of video reviews, so I'm all caught up with those now. :) ]  Anyway, this pair of lenses, in particular, was sponsored very kindly by Lens Village.  (They are also sponsoring my current giveaway~.)

Enlargement: 9/10  The WM-101s are 14.8, but have no dark ring. Despite that, they're still pretty darn big for me.

Colour/Design: 8.5/10  I had hoped that these Bubble Browns would be super orange-y, much like my GP-type Brown. Unfortunately, that was not to be.  (Not on me, anyway.)  The colour is fairly opaque, but I would have liked more opacity, as well as a colour which did not mimic my own skin colour so closely. Haha.

(flash)

- EOS Bubble Violet vs. EOS Bubble Brown -

Comfort: 10/10  As with about any EOS lens I've had, the level of comfort is fantastic. <3

(What's that? A stress breakout? Why yes, yes I had one.)

Overall, I was somewhat disappointed with these Bubble Browns.  I was super excited to try them, because the looked so orange-y on other girls, but on my skin tone, the brown just falls flat. :/   Looks like I'm still on the hunt for more orange circle lenses...

And here are the extra pics, as usual: One, Two, Three, and Four.
