COLOUR & DESIGN
★★
Unfortunately, these circle lenses showed up very poorly. Whilst the design and blue pigments are lovely on their own, it looks more like black lenses when on top of my dark brown eyes. Only in the flash and really good lighting would you be able to see the shade of blue. I'm sure these would look much better on light coloured eyes though!

ENLARGEMENT
★★
As 14.2mm lenses, these only enlarge the eyes a little bit. Definitely not one you would wear for the dolly eyes effect in cosplay, but still very wearable and a great size for beginners to start off from.

COMFORT
★★
I wore this pair for about two hours for photo taking and review purposes, and they gave me no problems at all. Just had small discomforts when first putting them on, which went away in a few seconds. Added the usual eyedrops after taking them out, but besides that it's all good!

OVERALL
★★
Slightly disappointed with this pair of circle lenses, I was expecting a lot more opacity in the colour... Nonetheless, these lenses would be great for casual wear to go out in, as they are not obnoxiously colourful and are a comfortable size.

Following this advice, I chose to wear these lenses with a simple blouse and wig for the casual wear theme!!
