Circle lens review: TheDollyEye Celeb Super Nudy Blue

Long time no see!
A lot has happened since my last blog post. I finished my studies, moved to the North and started to work in a new place. It's been over two months already and now, finally, I had time to sit down and write this blog post. There are multiple circle lens reviews, con summaries etc. waiting in the drafts and to be written so at least there will be a lot of content for this year! 

Since circle lens reviews are easy to write I decided to write one of those. The lens I'm reviewing in this one is TheDollyEye Celeb Super Nudy Blue. As far as I know these lenses aren't sold anywhere anymore but I still decided to review these since the pics were already taken etc.

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. 

This circle lens review is non-sponsored (seriously, I doubt I'd even get a sponsor since it takes me half an eternity to write these lol).

Base curve: 8,6 mm
Diameter: 14,5 mm
Water content: 38 %
Life span: 1 year (I recommend 6 months)

 

Inserting these was easy. And yes, "inserting" is bold for a reason - when I had gotten the first lens in my eye, it hurt like hell! Never before has a circle lens felt so stingy and painful; it was literally hard to keep my eyes open. When I inserted the second one... Well, it just doubled the pain. I have literally no idea why these ones behaved so badly; all the other lenses from the same box were also expired (or close to the expiration date) and they behaved almost normally. So yeah, seriously no idea what was going on with these ones but this experience sure went to "my personal top 5 worst circle lens experiences" list... However, like I said: I can't grade the comfort, just mention the first experience of the lenses reviewed. 

And this first experience was bad. Don´t need another one of these, thanks.

These also were a bit on the thick side.

 

One lens in. Yes, it was painful.

Well, these are circle lenses so obviously these are at least a bit enlarging; however these ones don't have that notable enlargement effect. These make my eyes look bigger than they naturally are but not in a "kawaii anime doll" way. Since these also blend very well with my natural eye color - mixture of gray, green and blue but gray being the dominating color - I'd rather speak about enhancement effect in general. I'd say these would be pretty good for everyday use; these add some magic and detail to your outfit and make-up but aren't too "in your face".

The design looks pretty simple at first but the more you look at it, the more details you can find! These somehow make me think of summer; the print kind of reminds me of the sun and the color reminds me of a summer sky or maybe I just miss the summer too much lol. The lenses also look pretty light-colored in their vials but surprisingly dark in my eyes.

Now to the lens photos.
Pics kindly taken by Shiro Samurai, thanks a lot! ^__^

The pictures were taken on a rather cloudy day in June 2021 (yeah I'm way too late with these reviews). These aren't filtered in any way, only their size has been changed since the original photos were quite big.
(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 few reviews too.)

•  The color is 7/10. The blue is just absolutely stunning - when the lenses are in their vials. In my eyes these turned a bit too dark to my liking.
  
  
• The design is also 7/10. Quite natural, good for everyday use. However I don't see that much other potential in these, which makes them a bit boring. Pretty, but not outstanding.
  
  
• The opacity in my opinion is 6/10. These do let my own eye color through but not disturbingly much - and less than some other lenses I've reviewed lately.
  
  
• The naturalness is 5/10. One can see that these are not your real eyes; however it might take them a while to notice what exactly isn't natural about them.
  
  
• The enlargement is 5/10. The effect is there but these don't make you look like a kawaii anime dolly - even though the name kind of suggests so.
  

 

This one done, 20 to go.
And I mean that a bit too literally. Shouldn't have procrastinated with these so much.
Not sure will my next post be a circle lens review or a con summary but trust me: it will definitely be one of the two.

Until next time.

Circle lens review: TheDollyEye Lucidae Green

Hello~!

And I'm sorry that my blog has been so dead again for a while... *deep sigh* I haven't been able to work on my cosplays at all because, well, I go to work five days a week and my shifts have been at least 10,5 hours long so... Yeah. My eyes have been very tired too - when I've tried to put circle lenses in them it has felt like someone tried to cut my eyes with a knife. :I

But I managed to get pics for this one - let me introduce you TheDollyEye Lucidae Green circle lenses~!

Note: I got these lenses from a friend who doesn't wear any fancy/unnatural looking contact lenses anymore. These lenses were expired when I put these into my eyes (I only took the pics, I don't want to destroy my eyes any further) and that's why it's impossible to grade the comfort. Thank you.

Let's get started!

(The first three pics © Shiro Samurai, thank you very much!) 

The vials of the lenses.

Base curve: 8,6 mm

Diameter: 14,5 mm

Water content: 42 %

Life span: 1 year

Inserting these was quite easy - these didn't curl around my finger or anything. I didn't even feel them in my eyes as much as I had expected to feel them! o__o 
After opening the vials I let these soak in a new solution over the night since the original solution (in the vials) irritates my eyes a lot. I have no idea if it does the same to you but I definitely don't recommend testing it. 

One lens in to show you the enlargement.

Well, these are not very enlarging but I have to say that I wouldn't wear these for any cosplay anyway; in my opinion these would go for different alternative styles, such as goth and punk rocker. In other words: if you want to cosplay a moe character, don't pick these lenses. 

Can't say anything about the comfort, really :/ 

I fell in love with the design the instant I saw these - the first two words that came into my mind were "mystic" and "magical".  There are darker and lighter shades of green which make these lenses look very lively and vivid. The spiderweb-like black decorations boost the magical look of these beauties~
The black limbal ring isn't that thick but I think that it's better the way it is. I'm not quite sure if this kind of design would work for the "moe eyes" lenses.
The color blends quite well with my natural light eye colour (grey/blue/green) - even though my natural eye colour shines through quite clearly in some lights. In most lights these look clearly green though (why do I think about forest?)! 

But now, lens photos~!

These were taken by me in May during a sunny evening.
Close-up photos aren't edited in any way.

From a distance.

• I would rate the color 8/10 - very lively and beautiful green~! 

• The design is 10/10 - I just love these kind of lenses! <3 The design makes me think about mysteries and magic. 

• The opacity is 8/10. In most lights these are clearly green, in some lights my own eye colour shines through quite clearly. 

• Can't grade the comfort.

• The naturalness is 5/10 - I mean, how many people have spiderweb-like details in their eyes? :DD The colour, however, looks quite natural, and the lenses aren't too enlarging.

• The enlargement is 4/10, reminds me about my EOS New Adult Red lenses.

I'll try to become more active in this blog again - there's just the problem called "I have no time"... Well, I decided to start to work on a quite simple cosplay - wait for the WIPs and circle lens reviews~! ;)
