HOLY COW! These are HUGE! These are the largest largest looking circle lenses I've ever had so far. They look significantly bigger than my Geo Princess Mimis in Almond. They are 15.0 mm but appear to look a lot bigger because of the thick black limbal ring and strategic design.

Color Intensity: 2/10 

These are translucent beginning at the rim and gradually to become transparent once they are mid way through the lense diameter. So in terms of color and pigmentation there really isn't much since they intentionally reveal and blend into your natural eye color by design. The black limbal ring is quite opaque but the honey brown parts of the lenses are pretty much all lost once worn on my dark brown eyes. For the most part these lenses basically add a very noticeable large black rim gradient to my natural eye color. But the honey brown parts would be much more noticeable on someone with lighter colored eyes.

The huge enlargement affect holds these lenses back from ever being entirely natural looking if you are not wearing at least some eye make up with eyeliner and some false eyelashes. Without make up they make people with dark brown eyes look like they are demonic like the boy from the movie The Omen. It looks obvious you are wearing lenses cause people will immediately notice how huge looking your eyes are. If you have brown eyes they will make your eyes look almost black which accounts for the glassy dolly enlargement affect. These would be great for cosplaying a character with black eyes or who is a doll. Since these lenses are only black on the limbal ring, they look more natural than lenses with more black over the entire lense. The crystal glass looking honey brown bits keep it from looking 100% unnatural and unsettling if wearing it daily. So you can wear them out as daily wear if you are comfortable with the enlargement and/or wear make up to balance out the dramatic enlargement. The gradation into your natural eye color also helps make these lenses look more natural. 

Comfort: 9/10 

These are just as comfortable and thin as my EOS lenses. I can wear them all day without my eyes ever feeling tired, get headaches or needing eye drops. I can still feel them on though, so they aren't as comfy as my Acuvue Daily Moist lenses but for circle lenses they are fantastic. Since these lenses are 15.0 mm this was a fantastic surprise I wasn't expecting, since in my past experience with Geo's 15.0 mm lenses, they have always been very uncomfortable, quickly dried out and needed eye drops all time.

Would I Repurchase: 

YES!

Does this have a "dolly" appearance?: 

YES!

Overall & Other Comments: 

I seriously love these lenses, and will continue to purchase them since they are so comfortable, thin,  have amazing enlargement and achieve an exaggerated dolly look, perfect for lolita, cosplay, and gyaru if you have the right eye make up. If you are the type of girl that wears eye make up daily then you can get away with wearing these daily because of their clever design that blends the black limbal ring with translucent brown color into your natural eye color. I dont recommend these if you don't want the huge enlargement or that glassy black dolly eyes look. But if that is what you are looking for these are PERFECT for that.

Enlargement Affect

Enlargement: 7/10 

These enlarge like how you would expect 14.5 mm lenses to. Decent enlargement but nothing to rave about. If there was a thicker black rim it would look bigger. I personally feel this is my favorite amount of enlargement though, since I wear circle lenses daily and am aiming for a more natural look, because they don't look huge I don't need tons of make up to look okay wearing them. Although I can see how someone would want them to bigger if they were being used for cosplay. 

Color Intensity: 8/10 

These lenses are about average in pigmentation and brightness for grey lenses since they are more transparent than their violet counterpart of the same series but more opaque than the blue version. In person and on my dark brown eyes they are noticeably a neutral mid toned grey. These lenses will appear as a lighter grey on lighter colored eyes. Vibrancy and pigmentation is about average. They are definitely bright enough to be noticed in person and barely bright enough for cosplay or non-flash photography, so they can work for photography and cosplay if you are looking for something more muted mid toned grey and not too dramatic or eye-catching. I can see these being better if they were one level brighter and pigmented in color, almost like how they appear in flash.  

(Lower - 0) Natural/Realistic or Cosplay Design (Higher - 10) : 5 

The grey color of these lenses are decently pigmented, they lend them to look much more natural for daily wear because they are not all too vibrant to be able to look unnatural. They really blend into your natural eye color pretty well since the lenses are transparent. The thin black rim is very subtle and add only a small amount of contrast, while still looking natural. I think the major thing holding back these lenses from looking completely 100% natural is that the pupil hole is a bit big to be entirely believable and second, the lense pattern design has more of a "sticker looking" affect which could of be avoided if they designed the rim pattern to be more scattered to sit on the eye more natural, like the Neo Cosmo Glamour lenses. I recommend these more for daily wear and somewhat recommend them for cosplay (there are better options though for cosplay if you want something brighter).

Comfort: 9/10 

EOS is one of my favorite brands of circle lenses because of their comfort, and the Fairy series is no exception. Once I have these lenses on, they melt right into your eye and feel great. I can wear them all day without my eyes getting tired or get headaches like I would with my Geo Princess Mimi's. Yet they are not as comfortable as my Acuvue Daily Moist contacts, but for circle lenses I haven't experienced any better than this. 

Would I Repurchase: 

Maybe. I really like how these straddle the line between natural and vibrant. However I usually prefer light grey and icy grey contacts, like EOS Dolly Eye Grey circle lenses.

Does this have a "dolly" appearance?: 

No 

Overall & Other Comments: 

I quite like these lenses, but I would have been majorly in love with them more if they were just one level lighter and brighter so I would be able to use them for photoshoots, cosplay and daily wear like my violet version. Like the blue version, these are great daily wear lenses, are super comfy, decent enlargement, and decently vibrant. They are natural enough to be worn without any make up at all and still look natural. They are okay for cosplay if you are looking for a midtone neutral grey color with somewhat transparent opacity and more realistic look.

These lenses are about average in pigmentation and brightness for blue lenses since they are more transparent than their violet counterpart of the same series. In person and on my dark brown eyes they are noticeably a mid cool toned prussian blue color. Vibrancy and pigmentation could be better. They are definitely bright enough to be noticed in person but definitely not bright enough for cosplay or non-flash photography unless you want a less noticeable muted blue intentionally.

Would I Repurchase: 

No, only because they aren't bright or light enough for my personal taste. I like my blue contacts to be more of an icy blue or aqua tinted color.

Does this have a "dolly" appearance?: 

No 

Overall & Other Comments: 

Sorta disappointed in these mainly because after trying out the violet version, I was super excited and expecting them to be as opaque and vibrant as them. But they aren't, so it's a bit of a bummer. However these still are great daily wear lenses, are super comfy, decent enlargement, and decently vibrant. They are natural enough to be worn without any make up at all and still look natural. I do not recommend these at all for cosplay since it will not show up very well in photography, except for flash photography of course.

Oh my gosh! These are so pigmented for such a natural design and how thin these lenses are. Not as pigmented as the EOS Dolly Eye series but one level down in brightness scale, which is still pretty bright and still bright enough for cosplay.

I have to say that this specific lense can work as a daily wear lense or cosplay lense, since the color is so bright and pigmented! It's so bright it shows up bright even in the shade, which makes it great for cosplay. However, it's subtle enlargement from it's thin black rim makes it look more natural once on the eye, yet still gives just enough thickness contrast for it to be apparent in photos. The design isn't nearly as natural as the Neo Cosmo Glamour lenses though. 

Comfort: 9/10

I LOVE these lenses! Out of the four lenses I received in my Honeycolor order, these are my favorite! Depending on the lighting they can shift to a royal purple color or grey but most of the time they are a dark lilac color. Which is worth mentioning, these lenses are not a true violet color, they appear more like a cool toned lilac. They are super comfy and super bright. They straddle natural looking and cosplay worthy in brightness and give decent enlargement.
