Circle lens review - EOS J-101 Violet

Hey everyone, sorry for the unannounced hiatus the past couple of weeks, end-of-semester rush is horrible. Today I am reviewing the EOS J-101 violet circle lenses, sponsored by MukuChu. This is a single-color lens with design similar to the old Adult series. 

The J-101 have good color intensity but not so bright that you look possessed. The clear part in the middle is large so you won't get a halo around your vision.

These lenses are not significantly enlarging and there is no dark outer ring, so they look more like "normal" colored lenses.

Compared to the Barbie Big Size Violet lenses, the J-101 are not as eye-catching and intense.

I also compared the J-101 with the Fynale Y17 Blue which are a blue-violet color. The Fynale gives me a halo around my vision due to the small hole in the middle, but the J-101 does not.

Here are the lenses worn in this review. Clockwise from top: J-101 violet right side up, Big Size Violet, J-101 violet upside down, Y17 Blue.

FINAL VERDICT:
Design: 6/10 - To be honest I find them very uninspiring
Enlargement: 5/10 - Just a wee bit
Comfort: 10/10 - Surprisingly comfortable
TOTAL: 7/10 - Not one of my favourites, but if you are looking for a single-color lens, these are pretty nice. 


Thank you MukuChu for the lenses!

FOTD - Two recent clubbing looks

Just wanna share two looks that I wore to clubbing recently :)


A purple look with precise eyeliner and arched brows. The purple shadow is NYX's Morocco.


 Bad bathroom lighting is bad, but this is a heavy smoky looks with black, gunmetal and silver eyeshadow. I was wearing fake bangs so I drew on Vulcan brows. :P
