Circle lens review: I.Fairy Moonlite Red

Hello everyone~!
As the title says, it's time to review I.Fairy Moonlite Red - it's bold, it's intense and it's so red that I could've passed as a Volturi if I lived in the Twilight universe. Want to know my whole opinion about this lens? Read further~!
Shiro Samurai kindly took the pics for this review, 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.

No sponsors this time either.

I have to say that I don't remember much about how inserting these went like - it's been quite a while. However I assume that it went pretty well since I.Fairy lenses are quite easy to insert in general. What I do remember is that I checked multiple times if the lens was the right side up or the wrong side up on my finger - as you can see, there's not much difference.

One lens in to show the enlargement.

Okay, to the "enlargement effect is very notable" category we go! That was kind of to be expected tho. I.Fairy lenses - or at least most of them - have a very notable enlargement effect and the I.Fairy Moonlite series doesn't seem to be an exception to that. So yes, if you want huge eyes with a red twist, I seriously do recommend these!

The shade of red is very bright; I mean, it can't be mistaken for any other color and it's very vibrant and  bold! I must admit that before inserting these I had mentally prepared for flagging these as "boring" and "flat-colored" but instead I got a very nice surprise - these aren't boring at all even though there's basically just one shade of red. The red part of the lens is also very opaque and doesn't let your own eye color through basically at all even if you have light eyes.
Note: I spoke about the red part of the lens. Design-wise I'd say these - at least in this particular color - would look better in dark eyes. I mean, it's not ugly in light eyes (in my case gray) either, but as you can see the pupil hole is very big and that means your own eye color will be very visible in the center. The design itself is pretty unique or at least I haven't stumbled upon that many other lenses that would be similar to these. So yes, probably not my favorite design - at least not combined with this color - but it's pretty in its own way. Also very unnatural: I wouldn't wear these at work or school. I'd say that these are great for cosplay, costume parties and alternative styles; I mean, unique lenses you can spot a mile away? Yes, please! 💅

To the lens photos that probably tell you more than all of my rambling combined lol!
These photos were taken on a sunny summer afternoon. And yes, these belong to the "house in the south" batch that I've been going through in a few reviews now.
(If I checked correctly, there will be three more reviews with these light conditions - but that doesn't mean I'm anywhere near done with the reviews, nu-uh, nope.)

• The color is 10/10. No joke. It's bright, it's bold and it's just awesome af.
  
  
• The design is 6/10. I don't really like the "pupil hole is so big you could fit the damn Saturn there" design overall, but for these it works better than average. 
  
  
• The opacity is 10/10 - in the colored parts, mind you. The red parts don't let your own eye color through. However, as you can see you can't expect these to have good coverage overall.
  
  
• The naturalness is definitely 0/10. I don't think this really needs any explanations :'D
  
  
• The enlargement is 8/10 - or, well, closer to 8,5 if I gave half points lol. But yes, definitely very enlarging.
  
  

And that's it for now, folks~!
I just realized that my next post is supposed to be a cosplay plan post for Nekocon and I'm still having a cosplay crisis, sos!! Well, I have 10 days to figure that out :'D Also there just might be a WIP post anyway during the autumn - not telling you yet which costume I'm about to sew but let's just say that I sure will need some blue fabric... 👀 Let the summer & autumn part of the con year begin! ❤

Until next time.

Circle lens review: I.Fairy Ash Brown

Hello everybody~!
It's time for the first circle lens review of 2025 - and also time for the last circle lens review of the oldest batch I had lying around! This time we're reviewing a beautiful brown lens, namely I.Fairy Ash Brown. Let's roll!
My photographer for this review was - as per usual - 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 non-sponsored.

Inserting these was pretty easy. No curling up around my finger, no stingy feeling, nothing of the sort. The only thing I do recall though that I started seeing double after inserting these; however I think these lenses were among the oldest ones of the batch so that combined with the wrong prescription likely plays a part here. These also felt a bit thicker than the other I.Fairy lenses I reviewed that day even though their stats state pretty much the same.

One lens in to show the enlargement.

Huh. To be honest I expected these to look more enlarging than they do. I mean, of course the enlargement effect is there and it is notable, but frankly I expected these to deliver a bit more. I can't say that these would have been a disappointment, not at all! These just didn't quite meet the expectations I had for these.
I have a feeling it might be partly because of the print and color. In the vials these lenses look quite mysterious and they even seem to have hints of gold in them in certain light conditions; however in my eyes these look surprisingly natural despite being enlarging lenses. And speaking of these factors I must first say that I love the color. It's warm brown, one of my favorite colors in circle lenses 💓There are slightly lighter shades of brown too which makes these lenses quite vibrant - and give them a softer and more natural look. 
These also look surprisingly good in my light-colored eyes; these look like these were designed to enhance dark eyes (the claim based on the design of these) but they do deliver in gray eyes too!

The print... It doesn't look very natural up close, I admit that. For some reason it slightly reminds me of both a Bengal cat and roaring fire, especially with this color combination. However these do look surprisingly natural from afar which makes these perfect for those "casual alt" looks; I could see myself wearing these to a witchcore inspired outfit, for example. 
I wouldn't use these as cosplay lenses though. Even though these are quite pigmented and have a very thick limbal ring giving those anime aesthetics... I wouldn't call I.Fairy Ash Brown a cosplay lens. Or at least I can't think of a character with eyes like this, OCs making exceptions. 

Let's continue - 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.

• The color is 9/10. Beautiful, warm, vibrant brown. The only thing that bothers me a bit is that the color doesn't - in my opinion - really match the name of the product.
  
  
• The design is 9/10. It's outstanding but not too "in your face".
  
  
• The opacity is 9/10. The lens is very pigmented on the parts there is actually color. On light eyes the pupil hole lets your own eye color through quite a bit though but well, almost every dark lens in light eyes does that.
  
  
• The naturalness is 4/10. These look surprisingly natural from a distance despite of the enlargement effect. Wouldn't call these actually natural though.
  
  
• The enlargement 8/10. The effect is there but it's not as notable as one could expect from a lens of this brand.
  
  

So there it is, the last review of the oldest batch! 
Doesn't mean that this would have been the last one of the reviews in which I can't grade the comfort for the reasons stated in the beginning of the review though; there are quite many of them to be written but hey, at least they won't be from 2021... 😅

My next post will likely be a circle lens review, a Konekocon cosplay plan reveal or a con summary -  we'll see which one it is when the time comes~!

Until next time.

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.

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.)

Another one from the distance, different angle.

• 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.

Circle lens review: I.Fairy Eclipse Gray

Hello folks~!

As you can probably tell I'm desperately trying to deduce my backlog on these reviews and I'm happy to announce that pretty soon the oldest batch of these reviews will be finally done. Phew. Don't worry though, there will still be many more reviews to come so I won't run out of content in a long time.

But let's get down to business! This review is about I.Fairy Eclipse Gray, a very beautiful gray lens that in my opinion can be worn for multiple purposes.
Photos for this review were, once again, taken by 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.

Inserting these was pretty easy despite the lens being bigger than the ones I usually wear. I recall these being very comfortable to wear despite being expired and having the wrong prescription for me; in fact I didn't even feel the lenses in my eyes! Had these been "fine" I would have likely been able to wear these for the full 8 hours. So yes, definitely considering to buy these in the future too; at least at the very moment I'm writing this summary they are still sold at Ifairycon's website. 

One lens in to show the enlargement.

Let's just casually double my eye in size I guess? :'D Like many other I.Fairy lenses these ones truly do deliver in size and the enlargement effect is very noticeable. So yes, if you need gray lenses that make your eyes look huge - with this color, for example, for a cracked doll look - these are the ones to buy in that case!
The color of these lenses is pretty dark gray and I'd say that the name of these beauties describes them pretty well. In my light-colored eyes these turn out partly black but ngl I like that. The gray parts blend nicely in with my natural eye color meanwhile the black parts of the lenses give my eyes a mysterious, deep, almost ancient look - and these actually remind me of storm clouds. So yes; these lenses truly are mesmerizing.

I also love the design; it's very unique and makes these stand out! However, I think that the pattern does look prettier in the vials than in my eyes - maybe these just blend with my eye color a bit too much which makes the light gray parts of the it almost disappear? Don't get me wrong, these still look pretty when worn too, I just wish the pattern would have stood out a little bit more.
These lenses would be perfect for multiple characters, especially for girls; the one that immediately comes to mind is Homura Akemi from Puella Magi Madoka Magica. I also think that these would look very nice in certain alt styles, for example emo or gothic lolita. Like I mentioned in the beginning, these could be easily worn for multiple purposes.

Now to the lens photos!

• The color is 9/10. A very beautiful mixture of different shades of gray plus black. I expected these to be a bit more on the light gray side but these are pretty none the less.
  
  
• The design is 9/10. A unique pattern that gives your eyes a very mesmerizing and mysterious look.
  
  
• The opacity is 8/10. This lens is pretty opaque, however in light-colored eyes the light gray parts let some of the wearer's own eye color through even though they also blend beautifully together.
  
  
• The naturalness is 2/10. I mean, if I see someone with eyes that naturally look like this I will run since they are probably possessed or something.
  
  
• The enlargement is 10/10. The effect is very noticeable.

Aaand one more done!
I just checked and I have two more reviews left of this oldest batch so stay tuned for them! 💓After them I also won't put in the clarification about the "same light conditions" since, obviously, they won't be the same anymore in the reviews following those two.

Until next time.

Circle lens review: I. Fairy Tofi Gold

Hello all!

I haven't written a circle lens review in a long time since I've had so many con summaries to write but now I'm back with these! The first pair after the review hiatus is I. Fairy Tofi Gold, a big golden lens with a beautiful pattern. These are still being sold at Ifairycon's website so if you want to grab your own pair, head there.
Let's go~!

(All pics in this post are taken by Shiro Samurai, thank you very much once again!)

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.

Inserting these was fairly easy. Even though they were expired I didn't feel them in my eyes basically at all. They made my vision a bit blurrier though than some of the others I reviewed that day even though almost all of them had the same prescription; I guess these ones had passed their expiration date a long time ago before I got around reviewing them. Based on this experience I could say that these would be pretty comfortable to wear if they weren't expired and I'm actually thinking about buying a pair of these for myself in the future. Yeah, I liked these a lot.

One lens in to show the enlargement.

Uh... Yeah. My first thought about these lenses after seeing their name was "Okay, it says I.Fairy in the title so these must be huge" - and I wasn't disappointed, look at that enlargement! The effect sure is there; these made my eyes double in size or at least I feel like it when I look at the picture above. The color stands out beautifully (even though it showed a bit more green/brown in some lights than I had expected it to show) and blends surprisingly well with my natural eye color in some lights. I have gray/blue/green mix eyes by nature - gray being the dominant color - so yeah, I most certainly do have light-colored eyes.

The pattern screams sunflowers for me, not going to lie. The print reminds me of flower petals with a magical twist; I could imagine wearing these with a costume inspired by fairies, spirits of nature etc. I also think these would be great cosplay lenses: they sure do have that enlargement effect, they're rather bold in color and they clearly show up even from a distance. Actually thought about ordering these for my Ayame Sohma cosplay - when I get around re-making that one, the old one has the "retired" status.

Now to the lens photos! 👀

• The color is 8/10. Beautiful, golden color - yet it turns more brown or green in some lights. However, I liked these a lot.
  
  
• The design is 9/10. It's just... Magical. I don't know how to describe it otherwise. Not the most usual pattern out there, that's for sure!
  
  
• The opacity is 9/10. You can't really see my own eye color (and it also blends pretty well with the lens meaning it hides itself also pretty well). The only exception to this is the pupil hole that lets it show quite much but tbh that doesn't really disturb me.
  
  
• The naturalness is 1/10. Seriously, this color and pattern sure aren't anywhere near natural - especially combined with the huge size!
  
  
• The enlargement is 10/10. It's what you could expect from a lens with such a huge diameter. Or from a lens that has "I.Fairy" in its name.

Okay, so that's one more done~!
I still do have a huge backlog on these reviews; I have gotten lens pics taken during the years but haven't really had time to post reviews/had to prioritize other blog posts before them. But now I'm slowly trying to catch up with these too!

Until next time.
