Beaucon Vibrant Match Blue and Revo Colour Yellow Eclipse Lens Review + Cosplay plans☆

Hello beautiful people!

Sorry for the lack of updates in a while.. I was waiting for some stuff to arrive for a new Ebay loot post, and then I got lazy-- But now I'm here with another circle lens review of two lenses I ordered from HoneyColor.com (they have a -50% promotion now!) for my next cosplays! So let's get down to business:

B E A U C O N  V I B R A N T  M A T C H  B L U E

Diameter: 14.0mm

Water content: 45%

Life span: 1 year

What I was looking for: Cute-looking, vibrant, sort of turquoise, dolly -but not too dolly- blue circle lens for my Rix (Show by Rock!!) cosplay. I don't think big 15mm circle lens suit me, so I wanted the diameter to be small, but not too small.

LENSES IN, ONE IN and NO LENS

Sorry for the low quality photo (though all my photos are low quality simce I'm too lazy to use my camera HEH). But I'm really pleased with the lenses! I didn't even check the diameter when ordering these, and only now while writing this post, realized that they're only 14mm! I usually go for 14,5mm or 14.8mm, and I just presumed these were 14.5 but for my surprise, I was wrong! So clearly the small diameter doesn't bother me, since these lenses look exactly how I wanted them to. Very vibrant and cute! I really have no complaints for these ones. I can't say anything about comfort yet, but they have a high percentage of water so I expect them to be more comfortable than lenses usually are! These don't really blend in with my natural eye color, but I don't mind that since the pupil hole is small enough not to let my eye color peek out!

Diameter: 14,5mm

Water content: 45%

Life span: 1 year

What I was looking for: Vibrant and opaque yellow lenses for my Yaiba (also from Show by Rock!!) cosplay. I really wanted to try out lenses that were made for costume use, because they are usually very vibrant and opaque, since yellow lenses with light eyes.....don't really work well together. So I wanted ones that would cover my natural eye completely. But since most lenses like that are made for halloween use (like these were), I didn't want them to look too creepy.

LENSES IN, ONE LENS and NO LENS

I'm still not entirely sure about these lenses, since I don't have my Yaiba wig or costume made yet so I can't see how they look with the cosplay on, but I imagine that these will work well! They are very vibrant and look a little creepy up close, but from a small distance these look amazing! And since yaiba has glasses, I think these will really pop out in a nice way. The right makeup will most likely make the lenses blend in better with the rest of my face and costume. So I'm pretty pleased, at least for now. One thing I don't like about these lenses is that when I wear them, I can see the yellow outline of the pupil hole quite well, and it tends to blur the edges of my vision a little bit. I'm not too fond of that, but anything for cosplay! These lenses are also pretty thick because of the opaqueness, so we'll see how comfortable these will be after a few hours. Good thing I always carry eyedrops when wearing circle lenses. Also the pupil hole is small enough to not let my natural color show, and that's good.

And then onto my cosplay plans (which I already mentioned) for Desucon Frostbite in January!

                                                                RIX from SHOW BY ROCK!!

I just looooove the SB69 game, and so does one of my best friends so we decided to do a pair cosplay of the cutest doggy girls Rix & Mix, since Rapezziauto is one of the best bands in the game (at least in my opinion) and the pajama outfits are so cute! I'll be cosplaying the older sister Rix and I just love the design, I will get to dye a wig for the first time, and make a cute ruffly outfit! I love cute and ruffly cosplays and would love to do them more, but I don't really like most girl characters (sounds horrible but it's true) and I don't like cosplaying characters I feel no connection to. But then Show by Rock and Rix came along and I just knew I wanted to cosplay this UR outfit! First I thought that none of friends would like to do Mix so I didn't even suggest it....until the mentioned friend mentioned that she wanted to cosplay Mix!! So naturally I volunteered to do Rix! I was so excited and I still am, since I adore Rapezziauto and the whole game!

                                                   

    YAIBA also from SHOW BY ROCK!!

......So two cosplays from the same series for the same convention? Why the heck not! Like I said, I adore the SB69 game and even though I've only watched a few episodes of the anime, I fell in love with the losers of Shingan CrimsonZ （*´▽｀*）and so did some of the group of my best friends! And now we have a full Shingan CrimsonZ cosplay group planned! I'm so glad to have a proper group cosplay with some of my best friends, since the Shingan CrimsonZ boys are such huge loser dorks AND I get to cosplay them with my dearest friends! What more could a cosplayer ask for? And we even decided the characters for everyone with ease, since everyone had the same clear idea of who should cosplay who. And the natural choice for me was Yaiba! which I didn't mind at all since I love him. I'm very excited, and a bit frightened also because 1) I will have to combine two different colored wigs into one, 2) Yaiba has ridiculous heels, and 3) I will have to side bind myself (๑⊙Д⊙) so we'll see how it works out... I'm thinking of doing a video of the making and styling of Yaibas wig, but we'll see! I  ordered the ears and tail from Taobao (since I'm a lazy bastard), and I can't wait to see how they'll look! Hopefully good.. There's many risks in this cosplay, even though it looks simple but I'm eager to challenge myself and learn new things!

And that's all! See you soon in the form of the ebay loot post (finally)!

DollyEye Starry Eye Gray lens Review + Soma Cruz Cosplay Makeup Test☆

Hello!

Today I'm here with my very first circle lens-review! Me and a group of friends did a group order from Blingblingeyes.com.my, since they have definitely the cheapest lenses available. But to be honest I wouldn't recommend the site because of stories I've heard from my friends about getting damaged lenses etc.. Cheap doesn't always mean good, but if you're low on money and are planning to do a group order, blingblingeyes might be a good site! At least my lenses are very good quality and perfectly fine, and most of my friends' lenses from there are too. But yeah, on to the review!

D O L L Y E Y E   S T A R R Y   E Y E   G R A Y

Diameter: 14.8mm

Water Content: 38%

Life Span: 1 year

What I was looking for: "Icy" looking gray lenses for my Soma Cruz cosplay, that would blend in well with my natural eye while still looking gray, have a faint outside ring and a diameter of 14.5/14.8. And the reason I'm writing this section is that every time I need circle lens for something, my preferences change. So in these kind of reviews I will judge how well the lenses fit my criteria and the specific look I want.

N O   L E N S:

O N E   I N:

B O T H   I N:

I was really surprised how well the lenses blend in my eyes! My natural eye color is a sort of grayish blue-green, so usually blue, green and gray lenses look the most natural on me, but still I was positively surprised! And thanks to my natural eye the color is pretty good too. It looks gray in any light even though the lenses aren't very opaque, so I doubt the color would be as vibrant on darker eyes. And overall I'm pretty pleased in how they look! I do wish the outside ring would be a tad darker, but I still do like these lenses a lot and I think they fit my cosplay well. I can't say much about comfort since I haven't had them on for a long period of time, but they do feel unexpectedly comfortable on my eyes! My eyes tend to go dry very fast normally, but I can hardly feel these in!

And now on to the next topic of this post, and that is my cosplay makeup test for Soma! I love doing makeup tests for my cosplays and I'm quite happy with this one.

I really want to do a makeup tutorial for this look and I'm sure I will do one soon~ I really love doing cosplay makeups and trying to achieve a certain eye shape and look, while still doing something that fits my face and natural eye shape. And this is something you really get better at the more you practice! (though isn't every possible artistic thing like that) Oh yeah, and my wig is from ebay! It's actually a character wig for a Touken Ranbu character, whose name I can't remember, but it's perfect for Soma too after a bit of styling! 

Thank you for reading and I hoped you enjoyed this post and found the review helpful! See you soon!☆

How to Find Good Circle Lens for Light Eyes☆

Hello beautiful people!

This is actually another post I have wanted to write for a long time. I don't think I'm the only person with light eyes who's had trouble with this subject, since circle lenses come from Korea, they are naturally designed for brown eyes instead of Caucasian light ones. Most common problems for light eyes and circle lenses are the color of your natural eyes showing through the lens and making the color distorted or hardly visible, and the pupil "hole" being too big so that the light color of your eyes shows too much. Since most Asians have quite dark eyes, when the natural color shows from the hole from afar it looks like an extension to your pupil, but this effect does not work with light eyes. 

The first tip for searching for the perfect lenses (or at least what I do): search the lenses you want from a popular site with lots of customer photos (the more customer photos the more likely you will find one with a light eyed person wearing the lenses you want), and then find the place that sells the same lenses for the cheapest! I have found this to be a really good way to really know what I'm buying. And the other thing you might want to look for is reviews, and if you get lucky, you might find one made by a person with the same colored eyes as you! So just do a lot of research to really find out what you are actually buying, this way you will spare yourself of bad purchases and money loss! Really good sites to find the perfect lenses are PinkyParadise and Uniqso! I can't really recommend any "cheap" circle lens stores, since I go around a lot of stores to find the cheapest ones, and the store almost always changes.. But good circle lens shops in my opinion are HoneyColor, Candylens and Lensvillage,

I have spent countless hours looking for the perfect lenses for my cosplays and everyday use too, and I have found a few really good tips to look for when choosing circle lens, and now I want to share the information I've gathered with you all! Naturally, this is just my opinion with how I want my lenses to look, and you might like a different look and it's completely fine! But I hope people will find this post helpful! 

THINGS TO LOOK WHEN SEARCHING FOR THE PERFECT CIRCLE LENSES

1. Pupil "hole" size

(sorry for my crappy drawings)

Like I mentioned above, with light eyes you don't get the pupil enlargement effect, but instead you get an awkward looking light circle around your pupil.. This is why I would recommend to always look for lenses with a small center "hole" to minimize the pupil "halo" effect. Of course your natural color will show through the hole no matter what lenses you wear (especially in the light since your pupils get smaller in hard light), but with small holed lens, you can really make a difference in your look!

2. Go for blended center instead of harsh

This is another thing that might help you to line out the circle lenses to check on! A colored lens that blends into your natural color is always more natural for light eyes and this is why I recommend them. This also helps to minimize the pupil "halo" effect I mentioned earlier.

3. Lens opacity

This is sort of a preference thing, but especially cosplayers usually want the lens color to be very opaque and vibrant, so that's why I would recommend you to choose opaque lenses. But if you are going for a natural look, translucent ones might be more your thing! But for natural looks I would recommend you to get lenses which have a color close to your natural eye color to really make them almost non visible.

But of course, sometimes you may not find lenses that meet all these criteria and are good for the look you want, and you will just have to go for the best option! I rarely find the perfect lenses or good pictures of the lenses I want in light eyes, but since I have done so much research in finding good lenses and I have experience in it, I can usually imagine what the lenses would look in my light eyes, and that way most likely make a good purchase. So the best advice I can give you is: Do a lot of research to find the perfect lenses for your purpose! Don't give up and just choose a random pair! But this is just my opinion again-- I'm really picky in lenses and stingy with my money, so I will do anything to spare myself from bad purchases.

But now I will recommend a few lens brands I have found very good for light eyes!

FOR A DOLLY LOOK: Princess Mimi series

Princess Mimi Chocolate Brown↑

Princess Mimi Sesame Grey↑

These are the only lenses of this series that I've tried, but I just love how well they blend in with my eyes! Especially the brown ones, since it's really, really hard to find chocolate brown lenses that look good on light eyes, but these are just perfect! I have also read a lot of light eyed peoples reviews of the Green lenses in this series and would like to try them on some day!

FOR A NATURAL LOOK: Geo Nudy series

Geo Nudy Blue↑

I have had these lenses also in green and in normal light they look super natural, like I'm not wearing any lenses at all! But of course in bright light your pupil get smaller and you will get a small halo effect, because of the harsh pupil hole. But despite that I love this series of lenses!

FOR COSPLAY: Super Pinky- and Dolly Eye Series

Super Pinky Bright Red↑

Dolly Eye Blue↑

Unfortunately I don't have the Dolly Eye lenses anymore, but they are perfect for cosplay! Vibrant and opaque, although a little too heavy for my preferance. I prefer wearing "lighter" lenses since I think they suit my eyes better, and for that the Super Pinky series is perfect! The center blends a little and the color is super vibrant! Also I find the diameter perfect for my eyes! I have only used these red ones, but I just love them and can't wait to try others from this series!

But that's all for now! Thank you for reading and I hope you find this little "guide" helpful, since this is a subject I have struggled with a lot in the past. I really want to help people and teach them things I have learned from experience (like the skin post I did), since it makes me feel really good when someone says that my tips have helped them (selfish, I know). But anyway, thanks again and see you again soon!☆
