Wassup?! It's been forever since I have done a review on circle lenses! Everything has been, lolita this, BJD that, lately... And, since I've been wasting all my money on those things, I haven't been wasting my money on circle lenses! But... since my old pairs dried up/got old, I got to buy one new pair! And I had decided on the Candy Magic Green, but... since I bought them during the whole 'Black Friday'/ 'Cyber Monday' time of year, they were out of stock in my prescription. But they (by 'they' I mean ilovecirclelenses.com) didn't realize that when they took my money. SO! Being the super nice people that they are, they offered me different pair of my choice, and a free mystery pair for the inconvenience! <3
I chose the Candy Magic Violet from their site, and they sent me Max Misty Brown for free!
Onto le review~!
Design: Personally, I love the Candy Magic series. They have an excellent
design and nice color. Now, I know that these designs show up a bit more opaque
on light colored eyes since there isn't this dark color behind it to show
through. They have a dark ring on the outer circle, making them circle-ish
circle lenses :P and also providing the all important enlarging effect. Also, I
know that these aren't the most natural lenses. They are more suited for the
round, dolly-eyed gyaru look than any normal look. Try and wear at least some
eyeliner with these lenses to balance them out.
Color: They're freakin' PURPLE! D: (or should I say: :D ) Purple, of course, is not a color that occurs naturally in one's eyeballs... But no worries! These aren't super noticeably purple, in fact, they look rather brown unless in strong light. For instance, I wore these to my lolita group's Christmas party, and no one even noticed that they were purple until I pointed it out to them... They all thought that my eyes were brown. Only downside? It IS, indeed, purple. So... unless you have huge pupils, or have eyes so dark that your whole eye looks like a pupil, it's gonna look weird since it's not a normal color, so it's harder to create the illusion of it being your real eye color.
Enlargement: In my opinion, this is the most important part of a
circle
lens' design, whether it provides enlarging effects or not. This design
provides
an excellent enlargement with its thick black ring. Big and dolly-like!
Especially these. For some reason, in my opinion, darker circle lens
provide better enlargement...no idea why. :/ The downside, is that,
sadly, it
IS indeed a bit too large to go without making yourself up some to
prevent
looking like an alien.
Suited for light eyes?
Uh.. for the first time, I'm not sure... 'Cause they work well on my eyes, but that's only because I have large pupils, so most/all of my real eye color is covered most of the time. But... from what I've seen from areas with strong light, when my pupils get smaller, I'm not sure....
