Circle Lens Review - EOS G202 or Candy Magic/Barbie King Size Brown


Here is my review for EOS G202, which shares the same design as Candy Magic/Barbie King Size lens in Brown. I call these my "Kumiko" lenses, since they are the type frequently worn by the super-kawaii Popteen model, Funayama Kumiko:

Here is the lens (the side facing the eyeball) in its case. When I first got the lens, I was a bit shocked at how strong the black ring and spikes are. I do love dramatic lenses though, so I am not afraid to try them on. :D


Once I try them on, I immediately fell in love with how ridiculously dolly my eyes look. The strong pattern shows up well in all light, giving my eyes an "Anime girl" look. The extra-thick black ring is less scary-looking when the lenses are worn, and give excellent definition and enlargement.

One small nitpick I have of these lenses is that the color is more greyish than I expected when worn; but it might just be because my eyes are almost black. Here are few close-ups:

These lenses are one of the most enlarging that I have worn, thanks to the very prominent black ring. I make the "O_o" face again when I only take one lens off:

I put on my Max Pure Brown lenses to make some side-by-side comparison. Max Pure Brown gives a more natural look as the King Size Brown, but the size are roughly the same.

The King Size series has a pattern very similar to those of Geo Angels. I only have the Angels in green, but here are some comparison anyway. The spikes in the King Size are bigger but less in number, and the outer black ring is much thicker than that in the Angels.

Finally, here is some comparison with my other pair of "brown" lens, Dolly Brown. Obviously there is no way the King Size can be anywhere near as brightly colored as the Dolly, but they are bigger in size and more suited for non-cosplay wear.

Here is one more pic of all the lenses I wore in this review in their cases:

FINAL VERDICT:
Design: 9/10 - One point deducted for being slightly off from expectation color-wise, otherwise these are perfect :D
Enlargement: 10/10 - I have not tried any of the crazy 14.7mm lenses, cus I think these 14.5mm lenses are big enough already!
Comfort: 9/10 - No discomfort at all, but I can still feel them.
TOTAL: 9.5/10 - Pretty close to being perfect!
