Princess Mimi Sesame Grey lenses (on light eyes!)

Picture collage back from 2012

Ok, so I got these lenses a while back... A reaaaaally long time ago (back in Summer 2012 hahaha), but they are still in very good condition, so decided to write a review based on my memory from when i first got them. First of all, I got them from www.pinkyparadise.com :) I like that site a LOT.


So I have light blue/gray eyes as you guys know and the effect I was expecting was to get dark grey eyes! :D
Which I didn't! :D So onto my evaluation!!



Comfort level: 5/10
These lenses were one of the least comfortable ones that i have ever had. I don't know maybe my eyes are too small, but the size of the lenses really bothered and irritated my eyes, and in 4 hours time my eyes would become bloodshot. After wearing them for a prolonged time (like 7-8 hours) and taking them out i would notice a big difference in my pupil sizes, one would be very small, while the other would look like I just smoked weed or something >.< Even my mum would notice the difference in my pupils after I would take the lenses out, at first i freaked out, but then I got used to it. I didn't look into it, cause I was afraid to find out something scary.



Enlargement: 10/10 The enlargement is amazing, BUT if you have small eyes like me or are afraid to look like an alien, my best advice is that you close this page and never consider getting these lenses, make up is essential when wearing these lenses to not make you look freaky. I bet they would look great on someone with huge brown eyes tho! These lenses are an older series which is 15.0mm, I heard that the newer series are 14.8mm, so if you wanna risk with this... I ain't holding you back!




Design: 6/10
Ok, here's my fav part about my reviews, I love commenting on the designs of lenses. One of the best things about the design of the sesame grey lenses is the inner part of the lens- the silver/gold dotting that makes the lens sparkle in your eyes (esp if you're dark eyed), but the thing that ruins it for me the thick black ring... For god's sake (*insert cursing here*)... Ok leave the ring black, but dissolve it a little bit(is that the right way to say it? dissolve?) It looks ridiculously fake, while the inner part of the design is so (f*cking) perfect! Also another thing that bugs me is the size of them, they're a bit too big to look natural, tho perfect for cosplay I suppose cause you HAVE to wear a ton of make up on for that :D

Overall: 7/10
Considering the price of these lenses (~25$+5$ shipping), I really don't think it was worth buying them, cause in the end I was disappointed. They weren't what I expected them to be, comfort and design wise. I believed too much in the reviews I read online, but you know, your experience might be totally different, especially if you are dark eyed (They looked so much better on the Asian models!!) and I advise  light eyed circle lens fans stay away from these lenses if you are searching for a natural look!!!!!
