Lens review: Princess Pinky Green Werewolf

Rawr!

Nah, just kidding. I will do a circle lens review today and it's a funky monster lens known as Princess Pinky Green Werewolf! :D You might remember that ages ago, back when I first started using lenses, I reviewed the Orange Werewolf lenses – it was a bit nostalgic to try these bad boys on, haha. In fact that previous review is my most viewed lens review to date.

Let's do this!

Base curve: 8.6 mm
Diameter: 14.5 mm

Water content: 38%

Life span: 1 year (I recommend 6 months)

So unlike that previous review with the GEO Animation CP-A3 these lenses are what I expect when I grab myself some crazy lenses! These are fearless, bold, have insane opacity and there's not an inch of doubt that these wouldn't show from a long distance. In fact it wouldn't surprise me if I scared the crap out of my perpetually drunk neighbor with these. xD

I suspect the Princess Pinky brand is unique to Pinky Paradise, that's where I got mine. I don't remember buying these for any particular cosplay, although I can definitely see these used for some characters. I actually just bought these because I simply wanted to try them.

One lens in.

I popped one into my eye and was blown away. These are so intense and vivid it's nuts! No regrets! I absolutely love these babies, the green color is unapologetically opaque and it's monstrous in a good way. That yellow inner circle adds to the creepiness and, while it looks a bit silly up close, it actually looks cool from a distance. The only slight minus is how abrupt the pupil hole is but I can't really complain because that's quite standard on crazy and super opaque lenses in general.

There is also a very distinct, rather thick black limbal ring which frames the eyes and makes them stand out even more. Also, you might notice that unlike most crazy lenses these are actually quite big, aka there is a notable enlargement boost.

I regret not getting around to these earlier because by the time I did this review these lenses had already expired, sadly. :'( This means that I had to discard them as soon as I was done taking the photos crai evritim and that also means that my comfort grades are based solely on a single first impression and a rough estimate on wearing time which, in this case, I think might be somewhere around 3-5 hours on dry eyes. But from what little time I wore these I can tell that they were overall comfortable and invisible to wear except for that the left lens was a bit stingy directly after insertion but that it disappeared soon enough. These lenses give me colored corners at the edges of my vision, especially in poorer lights (indoors) where the pupil is dilated. This is very common with crazy lenses in general because they often have a smaller pupil hole than your average circle lens.

I would recommend these lenses for Halloween parties, funky fashion, punk rockers, monsters, cosplayers, evil skeleton lords of the dead and anything else you can imagine that would be better with some absolutely ballistic eyes of madness! Oh, and werewolves of course, probably radioactive ones. In all honesty – if you like flashy, batshit crazy lenses that turn heads then you'll want these in your arsenal.

Check out my other review! It's here: Orange

Short summary:

Color: 10/10 

Hyper bold, as green as green can be and all over your face. HELL YEAH.

Design: 8/10 

It might not be detailed but it mimics a wolf's eye and it works for the intended purpose.

Opacity: 10/10

You won't get any more opaque lenses than this. Very dense pigmentation, no transparency.

Enlargement: 5/10 

For a crazy lens these are big but it's still not a lot.

Comfort: 7/10 

Comfortable, I barely feel them except for colored corners in my vision. Rough estimate 3-5 hours on dry eyes, which is solid.

Naturalness: 0/10 

I really don't think so lmao.

Hope you enjoyed this review, stay tuned for more!

Lens review: GEO Animation CP-A3

Yoo!

It's been a while since I last did a review for an animation style lens so today I'll do just that. I will review the GEO Animation CP-A3, a pink/violet anime style lens!

Let's go~

Base curve: 8.6 mm
Diameter: 14.2 mm

Water content: 40±2% 

Life span: 1 year (I recommend 6 months)

I've reviewed several of GEO's Animation style lenses before so if you are curious about other designs you can find my previous reviews over here, just scroll to the end of the list.

As with any GEO lenses make sure that your pair has the correct authenticity stickers before you proceed to wear them because yes, fake lenses exist and especially counterfeit GEO lenses as it's one of the most popular brands. Always buy your lenses from a reputable online store.

One lens in.

So I tried these lenses on and I'm not gonna lie, my immediate reaction was disappointment. These feel notably more "washed out" and lackluster than the other GEO Animation lenses I've tried. They don't really 'pop', so to say, and when you look close you can clearly see the net-like pixelation and to be honest it's rather ugly and looks fake. I mean yeah these look fake regardless but when I buy this kind of animation/crazy lenses I've come to expect an intensely opaque lens that borderline jumps at you. xD These just feel very tame and boring to me, idk really, your mileage may vary.

Regarding the design itself it's the type that I'd call the "shoujo manga" style, a pinkish violet base color with white light flecks scattered about to mimic teary eyes I guess. These are rather small, there's only a modest enlargement effect and the dark limbal ring is barely noticeable – it doesn't really provide any additional cutesy points.

As with most other lens reviews I've been doing lately I only got around to do this review once the lenses had expired sadly, which means that I immediately discarded them once I was done taking photos for this review and that also means that I can't really grade comfort properly. Thus my comfort grade is based on first impressions only and a rough estimate for wearing time, which I deem to be around 4-5 hours on dry eyes. Yes, I know I've been trashing these lenses but the comfort was surprisingly good in fact. They were comfortable, thin and I barely felt them at all. There were no notable colored corners or vision blur.

I'm not sure if I would recommend these lenses, it depends on if you need this particular design for a cosplay or not. I mean if you plan to cosplay like something from Sailor Moon or the like then sure, get these, but otherwise I'm not sure because I doubt these would really show up that well on photos tbh. On close-ups they are fine and you can clearly tell my eyes have an unnatural color to them. I think the CP-A3 would work for kawaii fashion styles though, maybe even more so than for cosplaying. Arrgh I can't decide if I like these or not.

Distance photo below.

Short summary:

Color: 6/10 

It's a nice pinkish violet color but for a crazy/animation lens it isn't bright enough.

Design: 6/10 

It has a teary eye design inspired by Japanese cartoons. It's cute.

Opacity: 6/10

My eyes turn pink alright, but the pigmentation is rather sparse as you can clearly see the net-like pixels and gaps if you look closer.

Enlargement: 4/10 

There's a tiny size boost but it's not really noticeable unless you only wear one lens.

Comfort: 7/10 

Comfy, thin and I barely feel them. No tunnel vision or colored corners. Estimated 4-5 hours on dry eyes.

Naturalness: 4/10 

Well, I guess this is the highest natural score I'll ever give a GEO Animation lens lol.

Thanks for reading my blog!

Lens review: I.Fairy Tofi Blue

Hello peeps!

I will continue doing circle lens reviews (yes, I have a lot left to do) and today I will show you the I.Fairy Tofi Blue, a really big and cute lens! 

Let's do this!

Base curve: 8.6 mm
Diameter: 16.2 mm

Water content: 55%

Life span: 1 year (I recommend 6 months)

If you are familiar with the I.Fairy brand you know that they pretty much exclusively have big lenses and these are no exception. When you look at the lenses in their vials they have a really pretty medium light blue color and the design itself is darker at the center and lightens outwards.. and then there's a black limbal ring to add that 'anime' look. I think the print somewhat resembles flower petals but I'm honestly not sure what exactly it's supposed to portray but yeah, regardless it looks pretty.

One lens in.

Popped one lens in and WHAM, it's huge! The color looks very nice on my eyes, it's a vivid shade and there's a lot of pigment making them very opaque. The pupil hole's edges are very pronounced so there is a bit of a 'clashing' effect going on in the center since these lenses don't try to blend into light eyes at all. And I clearly have blue-gray eyes lol. It's honestly no big deal though and these are rather cosplay-ish anyway so I'm not expecting naturalness.

I can't really grade comfort properly as these lenses were expired by the time I did this review, so I literally just took the photos for this post and then immediately discarded them. But from what I can tell based on first impressions these were thin and seemed comfortable although I did feel them slightly at first, possibly due to the big size. My rough estimate is that wearing time could be around 3-5 hours on dry and sensitive eyes like mine, which is pretty good. They were not uncomfortable at any point but I definitely do not recommend wearing expired lenses for longer durations due to the potential safety risk.

In conclusion I like these lenses, they are beautiful and they definitely stand out. The color shows up well but I do low-key wish that the shade was maybe a tad lighter (they did slightly darken on my eyes once worn) but it's really no big deal at all, just me getting picky over the years lmao. xD This is a fancy circle lens, suitable for cosplay and j-fashion etc – maybe not so much a daily lens. There is some moe moe vibes due to the big size and the dolly design. I would recommend these if you like this type of lenses!

Short summary:

Color: 7/10
A pretty blue shade, very colorful and fresh although it appears a tad dark from a distance.

Design: 9/10

Flower petal-ish print with a lot of personality. Artistic and 'anime'.

Opacity: 9/10

Very solid color coverage. High pigmentation for a non-crazy lens.

Enlargement: 8/10

These are big in all senses of the word.

Comfort: 7/10

Appears comfy. Thin and almost invisible to wear. Rough estimate is 3-5 hours on dry eyes.

Naturalness: 3/10

Too bold and big to be even remotely natural, but you deffo don't get these for a natural look anyway...

Thanks for viewing, I hope you found this review helpful!

Lens review: MAX Elegance Tri-Tone Blue

Henlo!

I'll continue with the lens reviews. I thought some months ago that I'd be done with the backlog but then I found another cardboard box in a storage filled with lenses and was like "oh shit here we go again". xD So yep, expect my blog to be mainly lens reviews and maybe some cosplay tests this year as COVID-19 has cancelled pretty much all anime conventions.

Today I will review the MAX Elegance Tri-Tone Blue circle lenses! I remember buying these lenses ages ago and forgetting that I had them, oops. I still remember how the violet pair was hands down the most horrible lenses I've tried in terms of comfort. Probably that's why I yeeted these somewhere deep and forgot lmao.

Let's get on with this!

Base curve: 8.6 mm
Diameter: 15.0 mm

Water content: 55%

Life span: 1 year (I recommend 6 months)

I can't deny that the color is hella pretty, like holy shit I dig it! The design itself is quite generic but I still like it, I mean it's not my first choice in terms of patterns but it's one of those that you just know works. And I dunno why but the print makes me think of the insides of a kiwi fruit...

The blue shade is really zeisty and fresh. It's lively and a very good color for cosplay in my opinion. I'm fond of blue lenses that have an unnatural blue shade and these lenses hit home for me! There is also a prominent black limbal ring lining the edges of the lens, which adds a cartoony effect or somewhat of an 'anime' look. The black streaks in the lens somewhat anchors it from looking obnoxiously bold.

One lens in.

As you can tell the lenses are pretty big. Like big big. Of course I've worn bigger but these look rather huge and still somehow... passable? As in it's big but not overdoing it to the point it risks looking creepy. It could be further helped by how the design itself is somewhat, err, sophisticated? As in that there's only really one shade of blue and the color is streaky, which means that there's transparent lines between from which your real eye color can blend through. I'm not even sure what I'm trying to explain at this point...? xD But there is some yellow and dotted "pointy" tips at the center of the lens which also helps somewhat with the blending.

Much to my relief these lenses weren't horrible at all to wear! They were thin, I barely felt them in my eyes and they were overall comfortable. Of course I couldn't wear them long due to safety (these lenses had expired by the time I found them, so I just snapped the photos and then immediately discarded them) but they felt fine and I wouldn't hesitate to repurchase these if needed. There was perhaps a slight blurring effect but I'm honestly not sure if it was the lens or my eyes as I do not have perfect vision lol. Regardless I'm estimating wearing time to be around 3-4 hours on dry and sensitive eyes, which is pretty solid. 

This is a pretty lens, it's simple yet beautiful and it works for a lot of things. You can use them for cosplaying and most likely also for lolita and other j-fashion styles that are a bit extra. They might be too big for daily looks but that will entirely depend on your style and preferences. Overall this is a fun lens and I remember buying them from HoneyColor, I do think they might be exclusive to their site as I have no memory of having seen the MAX brand anywhere else.

Short summary:

Color: 8/10

A fresh, vivid blue shade this is full of life. I really like the color, it stands out.

Design: 6/10

Quite basic but it's pretty in its simplicity.

Opacity: 7/10

Very opaque, can't complain. There are transparent lines in the lens that lets slivers of your real eye color through.

Enlargement: 6/10

Definitely on the bigger side but manageable.

Comfort: 6/10

Thin and generally comfortable. Estimated wearing time around 3-4 hours on naturally very dry eyes.

Naturalness: 2/10

The pigment and sheer size slams these immediately as unnatural.

Thanks for checking out my reviews!
