Lens review: ICK Any Pink

Eyy in the house!

I have another circle lens review to share with you all today and it's gonna be the ICK Any Pink. I haven't reviewed all that many pink lenses which is a shame because I do like pink lenses. Oh well, let's get on with this!



Base curve: 8.6 mm
Diameter: 15.0 mm
Water content: 42%
Life span: 1 year (I recommend 6 months)


When you look at these lenses in the vials you can kinda guess that the pupil opening will be quite big and while that's a common thing, especially for bigger circle lenses, it does affect slighly on what lenses I personally think are the most suitable for cosplay. Regardless this is a very pretty lens in terms of color and how soft the design itself is!

One lens in.
Yes, so as you can see these lenses have a really soft, pleasant color and it's very pastel in shade. It's a super cute, innocent hue and I guess you can say that it's this kind of baby pink color and honestly, really precious as such. But as mentioned above the pupil hole is really big so you better be prepared that a lot of your real eye color is completely visible through the middle thankfully the pink somehow attempts to blend so it doesn't 'clash' as much as I initially feared it would.
The coverage of the colored parts is quite good, it's definitely pink and yet doesn't look terribly out of place? I don't know how to explain but the color somehow appears gentle and despite pink being an unnatural color it doesn't come off as freaky at all.

There is a moderate to big enlargement effect but I kinda feel like these aren't as dolly as some of the other large lenses, possibly because of the design trying to be more semi-natural than cartoony.

Lens photos below!
All photos taken by yours truly during a March morning with a very clear, bright sky. There's no color filters or such on the close-up photos and that's so that the colors would be as true to real life as possible.

These lenses feel thin and comfortable overall, I hardly feel them much but I suspect that they might be one of those that could feel a bit dryish after a while – but I have naturally very dry eyes so yeah, there's that. Comfort is based on my first impressions (had to discard lenses after taking these photos due to expiration) so there's room for error and well, everyone's eyes are different so there will never be a lens that is perfect for every single person anyway. *shrugs* Nevertheless, I estimate wearing time for these lenses to be around the 3-5 hour mark on dry eyes, which is quite good.

This is a lens that I enjoy and would love to wear more. Pink is really growing on me as a color and this is such a smooth, pleasant shade that is great for pastel looks, j-fashion and anything of the like! I'm not completely sure how suitable these would be for cosplay as, on light eyes at least, it is easy to notice the amount of your natural iris showing through. But at the same time it's very alluring and from a distance the effect actually looks better? I can't decide on if this is a reasonable cosplay lens or not, halp. xD

Short summary:

Color: 8/10
Beautiful, super cute and alluring light pink. Perfect pastel shade for galaxy looks and such!
Design: 8/10
It's quite simple but has that perfect balance between extraordinary and yet discreet.
Opacity: 7/10
The pink parts themselves have good coverage, shame there's not more of it.
Enlargement: 7/10
Surely these are big but somehow I don't feel like the illusion is as big as on other lenses.
Comfort: 7/10
Pretty good. They are thin and comfy like most lenses but they miiiight be a bit of the drying kind? Estimated 3-4 hours on naturally dry eyes.
Naturalness: 4/10
Big and pink is always a no but these actually aren't half bad. Something with the design keeps these from looking supernatural.

Thanks for reading! Do you like pink lenses?
