Cosplay Circle Lenses GEO Animation CP-A3 Review

I'm 2 hours away from it not being Monday. Happy President's Day! (even if it's almost over).
I hope everyone had a pleasant week. Happy Lunar New Year too!

I wanted to fulfill my once a week blog posts. I almost forgot. Recently I picked up Candy Crush Saga and that game is addictive and annoying!

Well here's my review of these "cosplay" lenses.
GEO Animation CP-A3!

Description (off website):
Diameter: 14.0mm
Water Content: 38%
Base Curve: 8.6mm
Type: 1 year disposal

I got these guys in the mail the second day of comic con. I wasn't able to take pictures of the package.
There I didn't get a hair accessory gift this time.

What they look like in the lens case and solution hurrr.

oOo oOo I like these guys a lot.

Here are the comparison pictures with different lighting.




Overall Thoughts:
Comfort ★★★☆☆
I wore these at comic con. I had to take them off within an hour because it was irritating my eyes. I had to wear them after makeup so that could be the reason. The color of the contact also obscures your vision at times. I saw pink on when I glanced sideways. Don't get me wrong though. It was more comfortable the second time I wore them.
Color ★★★★★
I love the way these look with flash and without. My "without flash" photo does not do them justice. They look good in natural light and indoors.
Looks ★★★★★
They look pretty silly on the website. I was skeptical at first to purchase them. They are a lot better than I expected and are opaque even for my eyes. They do not look natural but they have that strong dramatic color I wanted.
Enlargement ★★★☆☆
Meh! You can see the comparison picture. They slightly enlarge my eyeballs. I think they are a good size.

These are probably my favorite lenses of all time. If you are looking for something that stands out, these are it.

Here's a instagram picture I took with them on. My Akemi Homura cosplay.


Till next week! or sooner! Maybe?

Geo Nudy Violet Circle Lens Review

Did I just update as promised? Whooo!
Here goes my second circle lens review. I am completely advertising Pinky Paradise for free haha.

This pair is from the popular brand GEO or GEO Medical called Geo Nudy Violet. I bought these shortly after the last pair I reviewed. I needed a more opaque and bright pair for cosplay. I have had Geo's before but sadly these were not up to my standards either.

Description (off website):
Diameter: 14.0mm
Water Content: 42%
Base Curve: 8.6mm
Type: 1 year disposal

I don't have a picture of the package, but here was the content inside. Now I have 2 of these bang separators.

Blue hair accessory for bangs.
Free animal case. This time it's piggies.
Geo bottles. All GEO's come with scratch off stickers to prove authenticity.
The lenses in the case and solution.
 Here's some pictures of how they look worn and in different lighting. I used a better camera for these photos (can you tell?)




Overall Thoughts:
Comfort ★★★★★
14.0 mm fits my eyes best. I could not feel them there.
Color ★★☆☆☆
These lenses are not noticeable without flash. They just make my eyes look bigger. The don't look so bad in direct sunlight though. You can see the slight purple tint. My photos don't show it that well.
Looks ★★☆☆☆
There's a slight hazy look at times. They also look somewhat reptilian in my opinion.
Enlargement ★★☆☆☆
Decent. I am not big on eye enlargement anyways. 14.5 or more is your size if you care about enlargement.

This pair is decent, however it did not work out for my cosplay plan. Once again, lighter colored eyeballs get all the benefits of color contacts.

 Till next Monday! (hopefully)

Vassen Dori Violet Circle Lens Review

I recently purchased a pair of Violet Vassen Dori Lens from Pinky Paradise.

For one of the days at Comic Con I want to cosplay Chitanda from the anime Hyouka.
Pinky Paradise had a 30% off sale on this specific lens series and so I thought I'd test these babies out.

Description (off website):
Diameter: 14.5mm
Water Content: 42%
Base Curve: 8.6mm
Type: 1 year disposal

Came in the mail like this with 3 things inside.
Some kind of hair accessory to keep your bangs at place?
Free animal lens cases with purchase. Mine are bears!
Vassen bottle.
The lenses in the case and solution.
I had several pairs of circle lenses before but they were mainly GEO's. From my past experience the GEO Nudy series has worked best with my super dark brown eyes.






Overall Thoughts:
Comfort ★★★☆☆
 I do not know how people can wear anything larger than 14.5 mm. I had trouble putting these on at first because of the circumference. (Maybe my eyes are small?) They were comfortable after a while.
Color ★☆☆☆☆
These lenses were barely opaque without flash. Sometimes they look more blue instead of violet. 
Looks ★★★☆☆
I think these lenses are super pretty but once again not opaque enough.The flowery shape is a nice touch but not visible for me.

Enlargement ★★★★★
HUGE! Seemed like it ate most of the whites in my eyes. 5/5 definitely.


Personally I think they would look better on lighter colored eyes. If you want something bright and shiny this is not for you.

Obligatory self shot.
