Enlargement: 10/10 


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.

(Lower - 0) Natural/Realistic or Cosplay Design (Higher - 10) : 7 


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.
