As usual, I’ll share my circle lens ratings:

Overall: ☆☆☆☆☆

Style: ☆☆☆☆☆ The circle lens design is beautiful! There’s a thick black limbal ring along with a variety of shades of brown on the inner portions of the lenses. The lens design looks slightly like a flower (petals opening up around the pupil).

Enlargement: ☆☆☆☆☆ Amazing enlargement! The thick limbal ring definitely helps to delineate your eyes as much bigger than they actually are. The diameter is perfect for that big-eyed dolly look! I love how big my eyes look when I wear these lenses.

Color: ☆☆☆☆☆ The limbal ring is a bold solid black. There’s flecks of pale brown as well as a slightly orange-tinted brown (a nice golden hue). The colors are rich, just like chocolate!

Comfort: ☆☆☆☆☆ These are super comfortable lenses! I can wear them all day without a problem. They don’t dry out my eyes; I don’t even need to use eye drops. If you want comfy lenses, I would highly recommend the Geo Princess Mimi Chocolate Brown circle lenses!

I absolutely adore these circle lenses! I’ve tried another lens pair from the Geo Princess Mimi series, and those lenses are also really comfortable and cute. If you want a different lens from the Geo Princess Mimi series, go for it! I’m sure you’ll be satisfied.

How do you make your eyes so big?

This is a question I have received on Instagram, Facebook, and Tumblr. Many people who use circle lenses to achieve the big-eye look, since circle lenses literally enlarge your eyes (or at least give the illusion of bigger pupils and/or bigger irises). I love circle lenses for this same reason! But in addition to circle lenses, I use other techniques to make my eyes look bigger. Here are my top 3 tips for dolly eyes, in addition to circle lenses:

  1. False eyelashes. If you use false lashes, they can really open up your eyes and make them look bigger! Exaggerated lashes give the illusion of bigger eyes. Using just top lashes makes your eyes bigger, but if you use both top and bottom lashes, your eyes will appear to be even more exaggerated in size. When I apply my bottom lashes, I don’t put them at the waterline. By applying them below the waterline, it creates the illusion of larger eyes.
  2. Black eyeliner. Thick black eyeliner can also make your eyes look bigger since they draw attention to the outline of your eye. This is similar to how a dark and solid limbal ring on circle lenses gives the illusion of bigger eyes as well. You can apply black eyeliner with or without false lashes for an enlarging effect. Even when I don’t wear false lashes, I find that simple eyeliner can make my eyes look bigger. 
  3. White eyeliner and/or light-colored/luminescent eyeshadow. This is one of my favorite tricks! In the look I used for this blog post featuring the Geo Princess Mimi Chocolate Brown circle lenses, I used a silver eyeshadow. Normally, at home, I use white eyeliner to line the bottom of my eyes, but since I’m studying abroad, I had to pack light and the only eyeliner I brought with me was my black one. Since I didn’t have any white eyeliner, I decided to try using silver eyeshadow… and it works the same way! It also gives a cute sparkle to your eyes. If you use a light-colored/luminescent eyeshadow, carefully apply it to the bottoms of your eyes in a line. Do not blend the shadow. This should make your eyes pop!

I hope these tips will help you! Feel free to ask me any questions.

You may have seen me wear these lenses before… (And it’s true!) Here are some of my previous looks featuring these circle lenses:

Above, you can see that I am not wearing any false lashes. I used black eyeliner on the top and white eyeliner on the bottom, as well as neutral eyeshadows.

I also used these lenses for my Magnet Meiko (Vocaloid) costest! And of course, I’ve used these lenses upon other occasions as well. I hope you like them as much as I do!

Definitely check out Geo Princess Mimi Chocolate Brown circle lenses and let me know if you have tried any others in the series. If you purchase from PinkyParadise, be sure to use the code “xiaorawr” to get free mystery gifts and cute lens cases!

If you want to see how these lenses are packaged, please check out my Bunny Color Brown reviewKLensPop sponsored me both sets of circle lenses at the same time, so they were shipped in the same box.

Above, you can see the front and back of the box that these lenses and the lens accessories came in.

All lenses from KLensPop come with a lens case and a tweezer. I don’t use the tweezer because I prefer to use my fingers, but if you like using tweezers to handle your lenses, the option is available to you! These lenses are beautiful and I can’t decide if I like these lenses or the Bunny Color Brown lenses better… They’re both such great brown circle lenses! In comparison to the Bunny Color Brown ones, the Magic Eye Heva circle lenses are generally darker in color.

And now, for my circle lens ratings!

Overall: ☆☆☆☆☆ This circle lenses are absolutely beautiful and I can’t wait to wear them again (probably this weekend ^_^)!

Style: ☆☆☆☆☆ The design is beautiful. The outer rim is a rich dark brown. It’s not a solid limbal ring since it fades nicely in the center to a yellow-toned golden brown. The clear space in the center doesn’t obstruct my vision at all, even when I roll my eyes.

Enlargement: ☆☆☆☆ The graphic diameter is 14.2 mm, so this does enlarge my eyes quite a bit. Since there is no black limbal ring, these lenses look fairly natural. If I wear them out in public, I don’t think people will stare at me.

Color: ☆☆☆☆☆ I love this rich brown color! The accents of golden-brown in the center look really nice too, and they look slightly different depending on how the light hits my eyes.

Comfort: ☆☆☆☆☆ These are so comfortable! They’re just as comfortable as the Bunny Color Brown lenses. I couldn’t even feel them in my eyes after applying them; the only eye-related discomfort I felt was from my false lashes… which has nothing to do with the circle lenses. If you want comfy lenses, I would highly recommend the Magic Eye Heva circle lenses.

The lens were shipped to me with no problems even though it was my first time receiving a package at my new address (I am studying abroad this semester).

DSCN9019

KLensPop has consistent shipping! I was pleased to see that everything was packaged the same way as before. My experience with them continues to be a completely positive one.

DSCN9020

Upon opening the box, I discovered two packages wrapped in a thick layer of bubble wrap. I will review each pair of lenses separately, so for this post, I am focusing on the Bunny Color Brown lenses. Be sure to check back to see the review for the second pair of lenses; they are both wonderful!

collageIsn’t the packaging adorable? I love the box! The back of the box has a Contact Lens Manual, complete with little pictures.

DSCN9028

The contents of the box were placed into a plastic bag for added protection. The lenses came in their unopened vials, along with tweezers and a contact lens case.

KLensPop sent me the correct prescription, and they also explained that on these vials, the dates are read like Year-Month-Date. So these circle lenses were manufactured on January 12, 2015 (15.01.12). These lenses were made very recently! You won’t get any expired lenses from KLensPop.

DSCN9034

As you can see in the above photo, the design of the lenses are comprised of different shades of brown. The design looks pixelated, but I assure you that the lenses look gorgeous when worn; the pixelation is not noticeable on your eyes.

Here are my circle lens ratings for Bunny Color Brown:

DSCN9166

Overall: ☆☆☆☆☆ — I absolutely love these lenses! They’re so comfortable, and really pretty but are also natural enough for daily wear. If I wore these to my internship, I don’t think I would get stared at (as long as I skip the false lashes xD).

Style: ☆☆☆☆ — I love the different shades of brown used in these lenses! A golden brown hue is used for the central design, and it fades as it moves into the center. There is a nicely-sized dark brown limbal ring too. The design reminds me of crystals, but it does not look other-worldly.

DSCN9164

Enlargement: ☆☆☆☆ — You can see the difference in the above photo; one eye clearly looks larger than the other. The dark limbal ring adds great definition to the eyes, which makes the eyes look larger. The lenses themselves give reasonable enlargement, but not super huge enlargement. I think it’s a great size!

Color: ☆☆☆☆☆ —  These are such a pretty brown color! The color changes slightly depending on the light. I like how the limbal ring is a solid dark brown; it gives great enlargement while also looking more natural than lenses that have a black limbal ring.

Comfort: ☆☆☆☆☆ — These lenses are so comfortable!! I could not even feel them in my eyes. It felt like my eyes were naked. It was lovely! It corrected my vision perfectly as well, and I have no complaints. If you want comfortable lenses, definitely try these. ❤

Here is a shot of my outfit:

Sorry, I don’t have any clear photos!

I felt pretty cute even though it was a casual outfit! I hope to take more outfit shots in the future, even though I didn’t bring any lolita with me abroad. (Casual outfits still count as outfits, right? :D)
