Review: Super Pinky Bright Red

Boom.  Here is my first (posted) lens review in about 3 years. (Yikes).  Let's hope I don't muck this up too badly. Or, like, sprain something.  (Have to stretch those lens reviewing muscles, y'know.  Don't want to tear a lens reviewing ligament. Keep those reviewing reflexes sharp.)

You are beginning to see the (terrible) theme in my "jokes", yes? Indeed.  TIME FOR THE REVIEW! :D

*

Alright, so I bought these pretty little lenses from Pinky Paradise, and quite a while ago at that.

.

^ [These languished in a lens case for, like, 4 months before I got to reviewing them. (#NewYearWorseMe) ] ^

Colour/Design:  4/5   I mean, I've said all there is to say about the design in my review of the Super Pinky Violet, previously.  The biggest things to note are that the colour is very opaque and covers a lot of the lens surface. Also, the 'circle' on these lenses (around the edge) is very, very subtle.  In fact, it's not even black: it is a darker red-brown colour that sort of blends naturally with the lens colour.

Speaking of the colour, these are one of two red lenses in this series (the other is 'Wine Red').  For being named 'Bright Red', I am not sure they quite live up to that name.  I mean, I like the colour, and it is very saturated and fairly vibrant.  However, these are by no means the brightest or lightest red lenses I have worn (and I have tried many).  They are very noticeable, though, and very pretty in hue (sometimes a little bit pinkish-orangeish in tint). Very lovely, all the same.

transformation into a magical girl) ^

Enlargement:  4/5   Alright, so there are conflicting notes on the diameter of these lenses.  Classically, these are said to be 14.8mm.  More recently, some shops list them as being 15.0 mm.  Either way, for such large lenses, I don't find these to be quite as enlarging as I might expect. (Likely because the pattern is mostly lens colour and very little is dedicated to the dark circle around that.)  They are pretty big, all the same.

Comfort:  4.5/5  This series has been consistently, supremely comfortable for me. ❤  Pretty impressive considering how opaque the pigment is, and how much lens is pigmented.  (They are supposedly produced by Vassen, which would make sense since my eyes love their lenses. Haha.)

^ (I'm not the cutest magical girl out there. The under-

eye bags & blemishes definitely do not help...) ^

In conclusion, I rather like these lenses (and this series, generally speaking).  They are pretty damn comfortable and provide quite a lot of colour.  I wish that colour was brighter, but the 'natural' kind of design is a good balance for that.  [These are especially fun to mix and match with the purple version (red lens on one eye and purple lens on the other).]

Review: Kimchi Maki Grey

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!)

(Yep-- these pics are from before I recolored my hair.)

Enlargement: 9.5/10  As I remember, these clock in at about 15 mm in actual DIA, and they definitely look like it.

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

- EOS Dollyeye Grey vs. Kimchi Maki Grey -

- Kimchi Maki Yellow vs. Kimchi Maki Grey -

Comfort: 9.5/10  Like other Kimchi/i.Fairy/Vassen series I've tried, these lenses 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.

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

(My hair reminds me of Russell Brand back in '06/'07...)

Enlargement: 9/10 These are supposed to be 15 mm, as I remember, and they enlarge pretty well.

Colour/Design: 10/10 Firstly, these lenses are nearly more pink than red. (Which I am absolutely fine with. <3)  Secondly, the colour is exceedingly opaque, light, and vibrant. In about any lighting. (Huzzah!)  Ehm, this series is pretty interesting, design-wise. Each colour has yellow as a part of it (I believe they're 4 or 5 tone lenses).

There's a dark circle, bit it's thin-- not all too prominent/obvious.  ((Oh! Fun fact: the i.Fairy Cara series is an exact design match to the [Dueba] Otoo Eye/OT Star series.  The difference? Available colours, and that the Cara series is made by Vassen, while the OT Star is made by Dueba.))

- MI E-Type Red vs. i.Fairy Cara Red -

- i.Fairy Dolly+ Red vs. i.Fairy Cara Red -

- i.Fairy Nova Red vs. i.Fairy Cara Red -

Comfort: 10/10  i.Fairy/Vassen lenses are generally rather comfortable for me. :]

Overall? THESE ARE FANTASTIC (Baby). They're light and bright, have a super-unique design/pattern, and are comfortable. They're a triple threat, and definitely making their way into some of my favourite lenses ever.  I really want to try a few other colours from this series now.

Review: Komi Look Leopard (XXL) Grey

Final exam week. Is now. Here, have this review, finally! (You may not see me again until the weekend...)   Anyway, remember when I reviewed Kitty Eye Contacts?  Well, this is one of the pairs of lenses they kindly sponsored me! (And I believe they're on sale now-- or rather, that the prices have been dropped~.)  So yeah-- Kitty Eye Contacts, guys: go look. o . o

Enlargement: 9/10 The longer I wear these/the more pictures I see, the larger they look. o.O  (These are 14.5~15 mm, but are more likely 15 mm, like most of Vassen's most recent series~.)

Colour/Design: 8.5/10  Welp. The grey is pretty, but not all too light.  It's visible in daylight and flash, but in most lower lighting, it looks rather dark and the pattern becomes indistinguishable.  Speaking of the pattern, in real life, it's visible when you're about speaking distance from somebody. Otherwise, it isn't all too obvious that you're wearing an animal print on your eye.  These look amazing in macro/close-up shots of the eye, though, IMO~.

-  EOS Blytheye/WM-203 Grey vs. Komi Look Leopard Grey -

Comfort: 9.5/10  These lenses are made by Vassen, and my eyes really like that brand. ;]

Overall, I have sort of mixed feelings on these babies: on the one hand, I'd love a lighter grey, but on the other, LEOPARD PRINT. THESE LENSES HAVE LEOPARD PRINT.  So yeah. Love the pattern, but kinda' wish the colour was brighter (which would actually make the pattern even more obvious).  Now I want lenses with, like, tiger stripes. Or maybe zebra~. <3 Haha

And here are the extra pics, as usual: One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, Eleven, and Twelve.  (The last 3 are just extra macro shots of the lens~.)
