Circle lens review: I.Fairy Star Pink

Hello all~!

This is, apparently, the year of new circle lens colors - or well, new to me but anyway! This time I'm reviewing a pair of pink lenses, stunning I.Fairy Star Pink lenses to be exact. Let's go~!
My photographer for this review was Shiro Samurai, thank you! ^^ 

Important note: I got these lenses from someone who totally lost interest in wearing and reviewing circle lenses. These lenses had a wrong prescription for me and I think that these were close to their expiration date/already expired so I can not grade the comfort. However, I will say a few words about the comfort in general - pretty much my first impression of these. Remember: wearing lenses that are past their expiration date/broken/have the wrong prescription for you is a dangerous thing to do and it can damage your eyes for good so seriously, don't do it. I wore these lenses for half an hour and then threw them away so I had these on only for this review. Thank you.

And, just like before, this circle lens review is not sponsored by any company.

Base curve: 8,6 mm

Diameter: 16,2 mm
Water content: 55 %

Life span: 1 year (I recommend 6 months)

I would like to remember that inserting these was pretty easy - despite them being big lenses which is typical for the brand. However, I have a vague memory that these ones didn't feel that comfortable in my eyes; likely because they were already expired and all but I remember that these felt a bit scratchy compared to the other I.Fairy lenses I reviewed that day. However these were still far from being uncomfortable to wear and I'm considering buying the other colors of the series too!

One lens in to show the enlargement.

Well, like I said: lenses of this brand are typically big and really do deliver on the enlargement effect aspect. I feel like these are not that "in your face" enlarging than for example the I.Fairy Eclipse Gray lenses but it's likely because of the design - which I immediately fell in love with btw. It's very unique and mystical; I would even describe it kind of dark and by that I mean that these made me think of goths and vampires immediately when I saw these. These definitely are not cosplay lenses though (unless your own character has eyes like this but otherwise I don't see these as a cosplay lens); I would use these for different alternative style outfits such as goth or a mythology inspired outfit. 

The only complaint I have of the design is that it's clearly not made for light-colored eyes. The clash between my own gray/blue eye color and the lens is very visible and tbh that's the one part I don't like about these lenses :/ They do enhance my gaze pretty nicely still so yeah, these still belong in the "I want to review the other colors too!" category, also known as I'm willing to spend money on this lens line.

The color is pretty dark pink, bordering on dark fuchsia. These do look a bit more red than pink to me though but I don't really count that as a problem. The black thin lines remind me of a lacy star (which makes me think of gothic lolita tbh) and combined with the pink they look amazing. The black limbal ring is pretty thick and gives your eyes this nice "dolly effect" which at least I've grown to like during the years. So yes, this is a very pretty lens colorwise too!

Now to the lens photos!

These pictures were taken on a rather cloudy day in June 2021. These aren't filtered in any way; they've only been re-sized.
(Note: we took pictures of quite many lenses on the same day so the light conditions are going to be the same in the next review too.)

• The color is 9/10. It's very pretty dark pink - I just kind of wished it would have been a bit more on the light side. Still, very beautiful and lively color!
  
  
• The design is 9/10. The only thing I dislike about it is the huge pupil hole. At least it looks still pretty nice from the distance.
  
  
• The opacity is 7/10. The part that actually has color is very pigmented and doesn't really let the real eye color through - however the part that has color is pretty thin, hence why the grade.
  
  
• The naturalness is 1/10. Nobody (or at least not any known person) on this planet has partly pink eyes with star-shaped decorations. Uh-oh, nope. The only reason these aren't getting a zero out of ten is that these are not crazy lenses lol.
  
  
• The enlargement is 8/10. The effect isn't as good as some other I.Fairy brand lenses have - these don't double my eye in size.
  
  

Okay, the second last one of the oldest batch is now done~! 

My next post after this will be a Gingacon summary and after that I'll continue with the reviews - stay tuned! 

Until next time.
