Firstly, this isn't a paid review (hah, i wish), it's just for anyone who wants to order either pair of these lenses to read a user-review and see what they look like.
I'll be reviewing the Dolly Brown lenses and Barbie King Size Circle Pink lenses from Pinkyparadise.
So, i'm a little neurotic when it comes to shipping in an are-we-there-yet way, but they shipped pretty fast. The lenses arrived in about a week and a half, and they managed to switch the address even after a mix-up. PinkyParadise always sends their lenses with a lens case. This time i got a pink (somewhat unidentifiable) goldfish and blue elephants, but i'm using a pink frog one that i got previously, but never used.
Dolly Brown
I chose this pair cause they were 14.5mm, smaller than my previous brown ones that were 15.5mm. After wearing them for the entire day, i didn't need eyedrops, and they felt like they weren't there at all.

K, so they're a little big for my tiny mole eyes, nothing some makeup wouldn't solve. Though after wearing these, whenever i smile i worry about looking like this:
um, yeah, just the eyes, Ruby circa Supernatural season 3 and 4 is fabulous. Ahahah, anyway, the colour's really natural and blended in with my pupil, so that's a plus point. Other than in the picture with flash, where you can actually see the flower pattern.
Barbie King Size Circle Pink
The one i've been waiting to do for a long time. Initially i was apprehensive about pink lenses, cause, well, yeah, pink lenses. pink. Then i thought, Xiaxue's gone for pink lenses, so does Ekimura, so why not?
As you can see, the colour is solid pale pink and definitely not as translucent as the DollyBrown pair. The bolded black ring also adds to the enlarging effect.
In terms of enlargement, i'd say DollyBrown does it better, but this is still good. Haven't worn them for an entire day yet, so i can't say anything about comfort, but they're the same brand as my previous brown ones, so i don't expect much difference in terms of comfort. Unless the diameter has major effects on the comfort factor, which isn't really likely IMO. Will try them for a day tomorrow and see how it goes.

The colour isn't a very obvious pink, in fact, it looks a little lilac at times, might be because my eyes are naturally very dark, so it cancels out the pinkness (nooooooo!).
MASSIVE-SPONTANEOUS-SLAP-ON-MAKEUP-AND-SELCA SESSION.
As in, literally slap on makeup. I did this within the span of 15 minutes, which explains why my blusher looks like someone took 2 tomatoes and smashed them up against my face or something.
HAHAH, SHIT MY SMILE LOOKS THE SAME IN ALL THE SHOTS. FAIL MAXIMUM.
Sunlight tends to eat my face every time i take photos, but you can see that the pink lenses are intensely light coloured. The colour can even be seen under lousy indoor lighting.
I really like these lenses, but cannot be arsed to wear them everyday which should prolong their shelf life a little. They're meant to be yearlies, but don't you think using the same pair of lenses for more than 6 months is really squicky? I mean, you can clean all you like, but there has to be some pileup that we can't see. Some people reccommend not to use them for an entire year, and i second that opinion, especially if you're wearing them everyday. If you aren't wearing them everyday, it should be fine.
That's all for now~! Will try to update again soon!
(sorry SNSD, Tiffany antis. I just think she's really pretty and it doesn't matter how many surgeries she's had.)
