Super Pinky Bright Red Circle Lens Review

Wig is Persephone from Arda :)

There is never a shortage of red eye'd character I want to cosplay. Obviously with my all time favorite character being Motoko Kusanagi from GitS, red contacts are kind of important to me. Even though Motoko's eyes change throughout different versions, there are still a TON of characters, I plan on cosplaying with those bad ass red eyes. So for a while I have been on the hunt for a good pair that I like. Recently while shopping for some for a cosplay, I decided to give the Super Pinky Bright Red contacts a try. As always I had trouble finding someone with around the same eye color as me to compare to, so it was kind of a gamble.

First pic shows my natural eye color

Website Ordering

To start I ordered the from Honey Color instead of Pinky Paradise this time. Pinky only had them in prescription for some reason and I don't require one. This was the first pair I ever bought outside of Pinky, and as far as customer service goes, I didn't have any issues ordering/receiving them and I would buy from again.

Color/Enlargement

The contacts themselves are big. REALLY BIG. I almost thought I wasn't going to be able to get them on my eyes. The enlarging effect is really good, and perfect for portraying anime characters, or if you just want big eyes that POP. I am totally in love with the color too, however like a lot of people who have lighter colored eyes, I had the issue of my natural eye color showing through when my pupils were constricted. You could really only see that though if you were looking up close. If you have very bright colored eyes, keep in mind that your natural eye color will show though a bit. If you have dark brown/black eyes, these will probably look much more natural on you. These are definitely noticeable on me, someone across the room could easily see them, but for much darker colored eyes yours might blend more.

Here's some pictures of them in some different types of light. I apologize the horrible eye makeup. I was in a hurry and makeup isn't really my strong suit anyway. I also apologize for not getting a direct sunlight pic, but it was rainy outside so I had no sun :(

The following pictures are not photoshopped and little to no editing was done so they look as close to real life as possible.

 My new DSLR turned out to be a solid investment. It takes nice detailed pics for this.

 Comfort 

 When first wearing them I found them to be pretty comfortable considering their size, however after applying my mascara, I started to notice some irritation. I couldn't figure out where it was coming from, because my eyelashes were not touching them in anyway, and I didn't get any makeup on them. After a little while the irritation subsided and I was able to wear them comfortably just fine. I know a lot of websites say to put in contacts AFTER you do your makeup, but I used to do that and I ended up ruining my makeup 100% of the time that way. Since I don't wear contacts on a regular basis, I have trouble getting them in and my eyes water a bit after I do. I asked my friend who have worn contacts all their life how they do it, and they said they always put them in first. I've never had any problems until today, and I still don't really know what it was all about.

 Final Verdict:

Website 5/5

No issues ordering

Color/Enlargement Effect 5/5

They are big and the color is so pretty ^3^

Comfort 4.5/5

I'm still not sure if the discomfort was operator error, or the fact that they are so large.

Would buy again!

I'm definitely going to be using these for a while, and they are perfect for cosplay. I might just wear them around everyday I love them so much XD

Well I hope this review was helpful. If you have any question feel free to contact me!

Time for an Update!!

I suppose I am due for an update huh?!

After the holidays my year started off busy pretty much immediately. I'm already struggling to keep up with crap but here's what's going on in my little cosplay world.

I am unfortunately not attending Katsucon. I just couln't get enough people together to go. Next year I'm seriously going to try though!

I am attending Naka-Kon as usual.

For that I am working on this as my major project..

AWWWWWW YEEEAAAAHHH

Out of all the things she has done, I just couldn't resist this outfit. Mostly because of DAT GUITAR. I'm so excited to wear this.

This is what I have so far..

Everything made/altered by me. I will better explain how I made everything when the costume is all finished.


I'm also doing another costume for Naka, but due to some issues I've ran into I don't want to announce it just yet becasue I'm not 100% sure it will happen.

Just cross your fingers for me.

I'm also making another costume for Michael, and doing some work for other people so I have a lot on my plate >.<

As far as pictures go I am still trying to get caught up on photo shoots as well. The first one I'd like to knock out is Officer Jenny, and that should be done when the weather gets warmer.

Anyways I should be back soon.

As always thanks for stopping by!
