[review] pinkyparadise
Hello everyone! Back at it with a circle lens review from Pinky Paradise :) I was sent this pair of lenses, so this review is sponsored, but I promise that everything here is written is my honest opinion.
The deets:
Princess Pinky Twilight Reborn Grey
Price: $28.90
Diameter: 14.5mm
Water Content: 38%
Base Curve: 8.6mm
Life Span: Yearly Disposable Contacts
What inside: One pair of lenses and one macaron lens case
Prescription Left and Right: -5.00
Shipping and handling:
I was given a prompt update after choosing these lenses. I was also emailed with shipping and tracking information! The box arrived and the lens glass cases were securely wrapped in pink packing foam. It included a cute little animal case (mine was grey hehe and also a hippo!). There was also a hair crimper freebie but I don't use that stuff haha.
In case you don't know how to open circle lens containers, Pinky Paradise has a tutorial on their website! Don't cut yourself with the metal cover that is very sharp (I speak from experience otl). I soaked these in contact solution (BioTrue personally) before using, which I highly recommend doing because the storing solution is not eye-safe and will irritate your eyes.
Lenses with natural makeup and lashes. (some daiso kind)
One of the coolest aspects of this lens was how it looked with different makeup. Green eyeshadow made the lens also look more green.
Blue eyeshadow made it look more blue-gray.
I did one eye with each color because I was too lazy to do 2 whole eyes haha.
My eyes are originally dark brown, and I was very impressed with the color! I chose this style based on the color and was definitely not disappointed. The dolly size and out ring are also quite obvious, so these are not really for a natural look. They were quite enlarging but I still thought that they were able to blend into my eyes with a diffused effect.
Comfort wise these lenses were pretty good. They are stiffer than regular 2-week contacts and daily soft contacts as well. Be careful not to put them in backwards (tutorial also available for those who don't wear contacts). I don't think that I would wear them for extended periods of time simply because my left eye did feel slightly dry after wearing for ~4 hours. It depends on the individual though (because my eyes are sensitive, and I also have nowhere to wear them out to). I would test out the wear time and then see if up to 8 hours or so is comfortable. Be careful! You only got one pair of eyeballs, so take good care of them.
Thank you for reading and thanks to Pinky Paradise :) I'm very happy with these!Labels: circle lens, pinkyparadise, review

rambles;
i enjoy music in general, the smell of old books, the smell of new books, cracking the spine of a new book open, hilarious things, things that make me cry from sheer emotion, sad fics and dramas, cheesy dramas, baggy sweaters, pretty pictures, having that moment of inspiration before writing a story and being satisfied with the outcome, sleeping, running on no sleep, ice cream cake for birthdays, putting up my christmas tree by myself, cool lemonade, rainy cold days, drizzles on your face, action movies, unlimited amounts of piping! hot noodles and dumplings and wontons, minimalistic furniture, laughing at friends who are shorter than me, having deep conversations with strangers, muted colors, going through color pallets at diy stores, choosing yarn and looking through projects, drinking bubble tea, going to froyo stores, that moment when I finally draw something the way I imagined it, baking tasty sweets, cute stuffed plush toys, the smell of the ocean, fruit, good wuxia drams, some anime, the feeling of collapsing on the mattress after a long day, baggy sweaters, ice cream cake for birthdays, the tranquility of night, pretty pictures, cute cellphone charms, the tranquility of night, funny japanese emoticons, when everything is organized, when everything is disorganized, when my clothes match and don’t make me look like an overgrown middle schooler, when I actually don’t expect a plot twist, when I can’t predict what will happen next, overgrown kittens, energetic puppies, and being able to choose when to laugh.
