Lens review: I.Fairy Eclipse Brown

Hello dolls!

Yep, it's another lens review and yep, I still have more to come. I'm slowly getting through my backlog but at least I'm catching up! Todays's review is for the I.Fairy Eclipse Brown, a super dark and super big lens that won't go unnoticed!

Let's go!

Base curve: 8.6 mm

Diameter: 16.2 mm

Water content: 55%

Life span: 1 year (I recommend 6 months)

I don't remember why I originally got these – they were probably on sale just like all my other impulse buy lenses, lmao. I normally really like I.Fairy's lenses so it's pretty easy to splurge on them, haha.

Already from looking at the vials you can see that these will be huge. The dark color further adds to the illusion of massive dolly eyes. Like these are really dark on me, no joke. They even look lighter on photos than what they do in real life.

One lens in.

Okay so, my natural eye color is a light blue-gray and the contrast is really visible! These lenses are indeed massive and really dark, just like expected. It's a super cute effect and makes my eyes look really young and innocent, although the super dark color can be a bit too much for some. I'm pretty sure these would look creepy and weird without eye makeup...

Lens photos below!
All photos taken by me during a November afternoon with a cloudy sky past sunset. 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.

It's pretty obvious that these have good color coverage and one more thing that's worth to note is that the pupil hole is softened to avoid the ugly 'clash' effect, like there's some slight fading effect to make the transition between lens and real eye smoother.

Comfort is good. Despite the big size these feel invisible to wear and they're really thin too! Generally comfy and I didn't experience any scratchiness or dry bouts. I can quite comfortably see myself wearing these for anywhere around the 3-5 hour mark, which is better than average in the standards of my ultra dry eyes. I'm actually a bit surprised by how easy these are to wear, bigger lenses tend to be a bit more iffy sometimes but not with these!

I can definitely see these being used for all kind of cutesy looks and j-fashion styles like lolita and the like. These lenses actually appear more black than brown for most of the time, at least in real life, so I wouldn't really recommend them for cosplaying brown-eyed characters (unless the eyes are really dark) but for black eyes then yeah, would probably work!

Short summary:

Color: 7/10 
Effectful hyper dark brown lens that looks black most of the time, at least in real life.

Design: 7/10

Dark, artistic print. Reminds me of a night sky or something similar and endless like that.

Opacity: 9/10

Really covering, most likely because of the dark color.

Enlargement: 9/10

Very clearly huge and doll-like.

Comfort: 7/10

Pretty neat. Feel invisible, thin and just generally pleasant to wear. Estimated wearing time around 3-5 hours on super dry eyes.

Naturalness: 2/10

Massive, dark and dolly? I don't think that's really realistic...

 Thanks for checking out this review!

Lens review: GEO Eyes Cream Rayray Gray

Hello stingrays!

Yep, the name Rayray makes me think of stingrays and I can't help it. xD No but really, today I'll review the GEO Eyes Cream Rayray Gray lenses! There's a lot of spelling variants for these, along with EyesCream, Eyescream, Ray Ray and RayRay and... you get the point. However you like to spell these it's the same lens and now I'll get on with the review before this drags on for too long, lol.

Let's a-go ~

Base curve: 8.7 mm
Diameter: 14.5 mm

Water content: 40±2% 

Life span: 1 year (I recommend 6 months)

The name is a pun on ice cream, if it wasn't obvious. I must admit that the bright yellow labels stand out and so does the orange caps! This is a really natural lens and normally I would pass lenses like this by without a second thought as I tend to find this kind of design, well, boring. The reason I originally got these was for cosplaying Leon from Resident Evil but as my cosplay year has been very, shall we say underwhelming, I simply didn't get around to it in time.

I will say though that I was really surprised once I tried these on – I was expecting them to kinda just disappear into my eyes but holy moley, they are pretty as heck!

One lens in.

My natural eye color is a light blue-gray (gray-blue? whatever) and these fit really well with that. It doesn't look off or weird at all and it's really natural! I don't know what exactly it is but these lenses makes my eyes look really youthful and almost sparkly in some way – it's crazy as I really did not expect such a big effect from these! I found myself really loving the lenses and being positively surprised.

It's a shame that photos don't do these lenses justice – I swear they look livelier and prettier in real life. They kinda enhance my eyes and bring out the gray tones, add depth to the gaze and the design seems to create this kind of crystal-ish look and it's just really nice! There is a slight enlargement boost too but it's subtle in the way that it doesn't look weird at all, even without eye makeup.

Comfort could be a bit better I guess, it's nothing bad by any means but they feel a bit thick perhaps. There's no irritation, blurred vision or such but they seem to feel a bit dry on and off but, then again, my eyes are naturally really dry so it could be that it's just my sensitivity speaking. ^^" The Rayray's are generally fine and I think I could wear them for the average 3-4 hours, which is standard for me. Fuck having Sahara eyes, lmao.

All in all this is a super nice natural-looking lens. I'm sold for these even though, funnily enough, the combination gray and natural would normally signal the most uninteresting lenses for me. xD I would likely repurchase these and I'd recommend them for daily fashion and as an everyday lens as they could pass as real eyes. If you're looking for realistic lenses for cosplay you might want to look into getting these as well, especially for western and game characters.

Short summary:

Color: 7/10 

Natural yet alluring medium gray. I don't know what black magic is in these but I dig them!

Design: 7/10 

For being a natural and kinda typical design these are really pretty once worn.

Opacity: 7/10

Makes my eyes gray but also blends enough to not look off.

Enlargement: 5/10 

Subtle size increase. It's there but it's probably not what you'd first notice.

Comfort: 6/10 

Generally ok but feel a bit thick? Seems a bit drying but otherwise no issues. Estimated 3-4 hours on super dry eyes.

Naturalness: 7/10 

Really natural. Could probably pass for real eyes if the watcher isn't too circle lens savvy.

Thanks for reading, what kind of lenses do you like? :)
