Pinky Paradise Circle Lenses Review! - EOS Dolly Eye Violet

Hey Everyone!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, been super super busy with college and exams and coursework :(
(Skip the purple text to go straight to the review!)

I've made posts about Pinky Paradise recently but I thought it was time for a more in-depth post for those of you who haven't yet dipped your toes into the magical world of circle lenses, as I now have a pair to review!

********

Circle lenses are basically coloured contacts that can not only alter your eye colour but also make your eyes look substantially larger. Colours range from natural to vibrant and some have wild patterns to really draw attention to your eyes!

The colour change is in my opinion essential to a professional cosplay and are great for any Halloween costume!

The enlargement is a growing trend which has spread across the world, called "Dolly Eye" or "Doe Eye" for the innocent and adorable look it creates. Used by idols in Japan (Kyary) and the USA (Lady GaGa), circle lenses have also become popular in the new (and slightly eerie) "Living Doll" trend and are used by YouTube star Venus Angelic and Russian Model Valeria Lukyanova

Now for the Review!

If you've read my previous posts you'll know I'm an affiliate with Pinky Paradise, so this is my first ever sponsored review~
I chose EOS Dolly Eye Violet, there's such a huge choice it was so difficult to chose! I picked violet because my favourite character in a manga I'm working of with my boyfriend has purple eyes and I'm hoping to cosplay her at some point.

The lenses came with a free adorable puffer fish cutie case which is pictured below, and this little hair swatch thingy to hold back your hair while you put them in (it's all in Japanese, I have no idea what it really is o~o).

You MUST soak your lenses for between 6-8 hours before you try them on! Seriously, I know how tempting it is to stick them in straight away, but these are your eye's we're talking about, you have to take care of them!

Make sure you wash your hands thoroughly before you put in or touch your lenses to stop yourself from spreading bacteria into your eyes. Don't forget to change the solution every time you wear them! I bought my multi-purpose disinfecting lens solution in the local pharmacy, it was £6 for a huge bottle, so it's not expensive. 

If you're not wearing them for a long period of time, you still have to change the solution every 30 days to keep the lenses soft and free of germs.

Comfort:*****/*****
I've never worn circle lenses before, these are my first pair, so I was expecting maybe a little scratchiness or irritation. I was SO surprised how easily they went in and how comfortable they are!. I know it's more difficult for some people because they don't like touching their eyes and things, whereas I can give my eyeball and good rub without blinking if I needed to (I know, I'm strange. I think it's because I spent years swimming underwater without goggles when I was younger.) I literally cannot feel them, infact I put them in yesterday, forgot, and freaked myself out when I walked past the mirror. 

Colour and Enlargement:
****/*****

The colour of these lenses is stunning, a really vibrant violet. I was worried it wouldn't show up too well because I have like green/grey/yellow/idek coloured eyes. My iris does show through slightly in brighter light (you can see that below because I take all of my photos by windows, the light in my house is awful) because of how small my pupil becomes, but in normal light it isn't an issue. It's kinda hard the see the colour if it's a bit darker, my eye's just look super super dark/black. 

These lenses are only 14.2mm, so the enlargement isn't supposed to be huge, however I find it's noticeably bigger than my usually eyes.
