Vassen Butterfly Pink Circle Lens Review

Press Sample

I love circle lenses, the way they enlarge my eyes and being able to change up my eye colour whenever I want to. Having Butterfly Pink eyes sounds so darn magical, so when I was contacted by Maple Lens to try a couple of their circle lenses I was immediately drawn to the Vassen Butterfly Pink lens. I have another pair of pink circle lens and I absolutely ADORE them, so I decided to try these out.

Maple Lens is a circle lens store based in Malaysia and provides genuine Korean circle lenses. Shipping was pretty fast, within 5 days, and they came very nicely and securely packaged, with a pink box for storage while unopened and animal lens cases for once you open them. I was very impressed with everything they included and the way the glass bottles the lenses were safe and secure.

From the Maple Lens website:

Vassen Butterfly Pink

Price: $21.95
Diameter : 14.5mm
Water Content : 42%
Base Curve : 8.6mm
Life Span : 1 Year Disposal

The Butterfly Pink lenses have a thick black limbal ring and pink to gold pattern that looks almost like a butterfly wing. The colour does not blend into my natural eye colour like some of my other lenses, but contrasts rather strikingly.

I did a quick little video just to show you how the lenses come and how to open them, what the actual lens looks like and how they look on.

The lenses were quite comfortable, although I did apply eyedrops when I first put them in just in case. They are very vibrant and have a distinct pattern in natural indoor light and daylight as well as artificial light, so they are definitely more for people who like bright and colourful lenses that are noticeable as opposed to a more natural look. The lenses have a decent enlarging effect as well and give me that pretty dolly eye appearance. I wore them for 5+ hours and they felt pretty comfortable, but I think if I wore them any longer I'd have to reapply eyedrops so they won't dry out my eyes.

I think I'd prefer wearing these for special occasions, photoshoots or cosplay rather than on a day to day basis as they have such a distinct look. I would order from Maple Lens again, as they had good customer service, fast shipping and very good, secure packaging. They have a nice variety of circle lenses on the website and a good size clearance section with discounted older style lenses.

Summer, Sea & Sand Makeup Look

I Bought This Affiliate Links

Summer is my favourite season: long days, balmy nights, frosty drinks, lounging by the sea...

Huntington Beach, CA

I am desperately in need of some lounging by the ocean, possibly with a frozen piña colada; unfortunately, since we moved inland I don't live very close to the beach. I have been missing the sea and sand so much that I decided to do a beachy makeup look using my Urban Decay Book of Shadows IV. I got the Book of Shadows IV(4) palette on Hautelook a while ago and I absolutely love all the sparkly, shimmery beauteousness. Honestly I could just use Urban Decay shadows for the rest of my life and die happy☺♥ The shades in this Book of Shadows really remind me of the beach and the ocean, so it was the perfect palette for the look I was going for.

Lips-

Can I just say that I am so addicted to OCC lip tars............. they are like magic in a little tube! I also have Anime and Hoochie and I want ALL the lip tars! I love that you can mix them with different things to get different looks, like this pink glossy look I have in this FOTD. 

Since the Generation Beauty event, I've been inspired to play a bit more with colour instead of just my usual neutral makeup. Granted, this is still pretty tame, but I'm trying! I follow so many amazing MUAs on instagram and I'm always awed by their perfect application of highly saturated shades; I need to work on my technique more so I can step my colour game up! Incidentally I wasn't even going anywhere the day I did this look, I ended up going.... grocery shopping. My husband came home just as I was about to go to the grocery store and was all "Where are you going? Are you meeting someone? Why are you so made up?"... I told him I was meeting my boyfriend on the side :p lol.

Geo Angel Blue Circle Lens Review

In addition to the Black Magic lenses I received from Angel Contacts, I also got my first blue circle lenses! This is the Geo Angel Blue lens.

When they first arrived, one of the lenses was really uncomfortable so I let Brenda from Angel Contacts know and she promptly sent me a new pair. Lovely service! They are really helpful and very communicative. The new pair was perfect. Contact lenses should never feel painful or too uncomfortable. If your lens is really uncomfortable, you may have a defective lens, have it in backwards or need to wash it in lens solution.

Geo Angel Blue Lens Close Up

The pattern is very pretty and quite similar to my Honey Wing lenses, but more vibrant. The colour and pattern are bright and vibrant enough for dark eyes, but natural looking enough for lighter coloured eyes. At 14.2 mm they give a subtle enlarging and still can be worn easily. I do slightly feel them from time to time, whereas some of my other lenses are like air, but they aren't uncomfortable. Those with sensitive or dry eyes will probably get 4-6 hours of wear without having to apply eyedrops, but normally you'd get 8 hours or more without having to apply eyedrops.

Here is my video review of the lenses, watch it to see them in action :)



I am in looooove with the colour. When I was young and foolish (aka in high school), I hated my brown eyes and deeply envied a girl I knew who had mocha coloured skin and beautiful blue eyes. The contrast was so unusual and pretty. I'm not so adverse to having brown eyes anymore, but I love that I'm able to switch it up and have that jewel toned blue I so admired.

I have been wearing the Geo Angel Blue lenses quite a lot recently, they're my new favourites :) Keep a look out for a Circle Lens giveaway coming soon! I'll be posting it at the end of this week. The lenses I am giving away are also from Angel Contacts, the beautiful Geo Nudy Grey lens that are very popular with a lot of Gyaru. Make sure you keep an eye out!

Royal Vision Macaron Brown (Puffy 3 Tone) Circle Lens

It's been a while since I've done a lens review!

The Royal Vision Macaron Brown lens is one I received from my sponsor EyeCandy's (formerly Eyecandy Lens). I had planned to review it a while ago, but one of the lenses was defective and was uncomfortable in my eye, so the lovely rep from EyeCandy's sent me a replacement. This time it was perfect! You should NEVER wear a lens if it feels uncomfortable, circle lenses should feel almost like nothing is in your eyes, they may be slightly drying but nothing eyedrops wouldn't fix.

From EyeCandy's website:

Royal Vision Macaron (Puffy 3 Tones) Brown

Product Description

Girls who've fallen in love with the sweet, adorable Parisian macaron will undoubtedly be enamoured by our Royal Vision Macaron series.  With rich and vibrant blend of 3 tones, these lenses will give your eyes look that is both sophisticated and mesmerising.  Indulge your eyes in the epitome of elegance!

How cute is the box that it comes in?? I love it so much, I don't want to throw it away! I'll have to re-purpose it and keep it on my dresser :) The Macaron lenses are also called the Puffy 3 Tone/Shinny lens, which I have in Violet and Grey. This is my favourite design and looks so pretty and fresh! It's also very comfortable and not too drying. I wore them for 12 hours and only needed to put eyedrops in at around 7/ 8 hours.

The pattern is subtle but still very pretty. It gives me a slight colour pop and blends seamlessly with my naturally dark brown eyes. Nobody noticed I was wearing lenses (not even my husband!), but I got a lot of "Wow, you look great today.. something's different but I can't tell what" lolol. It's my natural effervescence.

I think these would be a great everyday lens if you want something really pretty, but still natural looking. It would also look great on lighter coloured eyes, like blue or green. The gradiation of the pattern would look amazing against a lighter colour. I really want all the different shades in the Macaron lens!

Ulzzang Dolly Eyes! Angel Contacts Geo Magic Black Circle Lenses

Something I've been wanting to try for quite a while are black lenses. There's something about the big dolly eye look that is really appealing to me! When the lovely Brenda of Angel Contacts contacted me, I knew I had to give these a try :)


From the Angel Contacts website:

Geo Magic Black Circle Lens

Geo Magic Black Circle Lens

These lenses are so ridiculously soft and comfortable. It felt like absolutely nothing on my eye, even though they give a beautiful enlarging effect. I wore them for 8 hours+ and had no drying or discomfort. I am in love with the way it gives a thick black halo around my natural brown when in artificial light, but blends seamlessly in natural light. I had absolutely no problems with insertion and removal, because they're so soft and thin they were extremely easy to use. I would just say be careful because the softer they are, the easier it is to damage them with improper handling. Never handle them with your fingernails! I think these would be great for first time circle lens wearers that are still getting used to wearing cosmetic enlarging lenses.

Yes, I'm wearing a wig in these pictures! I thought the darker hair would look better with the Ulzzang style dolly eyes. I also tried to do more toned down Ulzzang style makeup. What do you think?

Ulzzang Dolly Eye look, Artificial light

I will definitely be wearing these a lot! I love the look they give and how comfortable they are. The quality is extremely good and the shipping was very fast (Angel Contacts currently only ship to the US and Canada). Brenda is lovely to work with and made everything extremely pleasant and easy. I have another pair of lenses (blue ones!) to try, and I will be posting a video of both very soon :) I also re-ombred my hair, so you'll get to see that too!

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving (in the US) and enjoy your weekend :)

Ruby Queen Violet Circle Lens from Eyecandy Lens

This is the second pair of lenses I received for review from Eyecandy Lens, the Ruby Queen Violet circle lens.

 From EyecandyLens.com:

Ruby Queen Violet

Brand: NEO
Origin: South Korea
Water content: 45%
Diameter: 14.2 mm
Base Curve: 8.6

Duration: 1 year disposable

Create your signature look with the Ruby Queen series, a premium range by NEO Vision!  This series is designed to frame the iris multi-faceted diamond cut, exuding sophistication, class and personality.

This lens has a really pretty and unique diamond cut pattern. It looks stunning on the eyes. They are quite comfortable, I wore them for around 5 hours and they were fine. They are slightly smaller than the Dueba Max Pure Pink, and didn't seem to be as drying.

My face looks super white =_=;; I used a mattifying powder from e.l.f. and it made my face a bit ghostly in the flash. Please don't think I am purposely trying to whiten my face lol. The lenses are soooo vibrant, I love the way they look! I'm planning to wear them on Halloween with my Cleopatra costume and I'm sure they'll get a lot more use in the future :D Don't forget to use my code ISHAHBEAUTY if you order from Eyecandy Lens for a free surprise gift.

I'm going to do more circle lens reviews soon and possibly even a giveaway, so stay tuned :)

Dueba Max Pure Pink Circle Lens from Eyecandy Lens

I have been wanting a pair of pink lenses for a while now, so when Eyecandy Lens contacted me for a review I had to try these out!

From the Eyecandy Lens website:

Dueba Max Pure Pink Circle Lens
Brand: Dueba
Origin: South Korea
Water content: 38%
Diameter: 14.5 mm 
Base Curve: 8.6
Duration: 1 year disposable

A beautiful natural design inspired by the soft pink colour of sakura blossoms.  If you are looking for a colour between light brown and grey that will really make your eyes pop, then pink lenses are the perfect choice!

Please note that this item is manufactured by Dueba, under our Royal Vision label.

When you mention pink contact lenses, a lot of people would probably be thinking "Pink eyes???", but the Max Pure Pink design is subtle and really pretty, my eyes look lit from within. They have a soft glow and the colour isn't really super pink, it looks more like a soft pinkish brownish grey (my descriptive talent is awesome). At 14.5mm, they give a nice enlargement without looking too fake or being uncomfortable. I did notice a little bit of drying after a few hours, but I just applied some eye drops and they were fine. I LOOOVE how the Dueba Max Pure Pink lenses look and I will be looking at a few other colours in this series!

Geo Olive Wing Green Circle Lenses Review

Wing Green OL-103

Type: Geo Olive (Wing) Series

Diameter: 14mm
Base curve: 8.6mm
Water content: 38~42%
Disposable: 1 year

I got these from KawaiiLoveBeauty.com, just like the Honey Wing lens I reviewed previously.

These are a more subtle looking lens. The green is a deeper, more natural looking shade than the BerryHolic Turquoise and definitely doesn't stand out quite as much. It's perfect for those looking for a subtle change, or who are easing their way into wearing circle lenses for the first time. The comfort level is pretty good, but I do need to put in eye drops after about 4 hours as they can be a little drying. Enlargement is quite natural at 14mm, and they don't have a thick black limbal ring just a natural graduated one.

Lenses in artificial light

So difficult to capture this colour on camera, but it's definitely more like the natural light picture above (first pic). Indoors you can't see it much, but in sunlight and bright artificial light it's a nice colour and pattern.

Some full face/camho shots-

Yup, I love my Batman tee! Ok, I've only worn it twice in the past 3 weeks, but both times I took pics and post them on my blog.... now I look like I never change my clothes =_=;;

Overall, I really like this lens for when I want something really natural looking that still gives me a subtle change. I don't wear them as much as my other, more vibrant ones, but I keep them on reserve for those occasions where I don't want to look too over the top.
