Pinkicon Circle Lens Review: O-Lens BaviPhat 3 Color Gray

It's been over half a year (almost a full year!) since my last circle lens review, so today I've got a new review for you all! I'll be reviewing the O-Lens BaviPhat 3 Color Gray lenses from Pinkicon, an online store based in Hong Kong that sells all things beauty-related, from circle lenses to makeup to skincare and more. Details ahead!

This is my first time reviewing products from Pinkicon, a shop that not only sells circle lenses, but also carries a wide range of Asian beauty and skincare products, along with wigs, false lashes, fashion accessories and more! Pinkicon is Hong Kong's largest online store for Korean circle lenses, with a pledge to deliver 100% authentic products, sourced directly from Korean manufacturers.

Delivery was fairly fast considering they shipped straight from Hong Kong, and the lenses were packaged simply yet nicely, with special wear-and-care guides included.

The lenses that I picked out were the O-Lens BaviPhat 3 Color Gray lenses, on sale for $31.73 on Pinkicon's site. These half-year lenses feature a blend of colors to create a striking gray look.

Above is a with-and-without comparison of the O-Lens BaviPhat 3 Color Gray circle lenses, modeled on dark brown eyes in natural daytime lighting. These lenses give off a somewhat natural yet noticeable gray look, with a thin, soft dark outer ring blended into a fading gray and accented with a soft ring of hazel-toned light brown.

Below are more photos of the lenses:

Maybe it's because I haven't worn circle lenses in a while, but it took a good few minutes for my eyes to adjust to these lenses and get used to them. After the initial bit of discomfort, however, I couldn't feel them there at all, and I wore them for hours without any discomfort.

I'm rating these 4/5 for enlargement since they don't have a super dramatic enlarging effect (they are, after all, only 14.00mm in diameter with no thick outer ring), but I actually really like the effect they give. They're perfect if you want noticeable but natural enlargement; they're definitely larger than my natural irises, yet don't give off an alien-like vibe.

Design-wise, these are probably one of my favorite lenses ever! The design is quite simple and nothing too fancy, but I love how it delivers a natural yet beautiful look. The blend of all the colors, from the very dark gray/almost black outer ring to the medium gray, light gray, and hazel inner rings, gives these lenses an added touch of interest.

The O-Lens BaviPhat 3 Color Gray lenses are really lovely, natural-looking lenses that are subtle enough for everyday wear, yet certainly still provide enough enlargement and color to be incorporated into a more dolled-up, extravagant look! I'd recommend these lenses for those who are looking for a way to add interest to their eyes, yet want something that can go well with both light and heavy makeup.

This was a pleasant first experience with Pinkicon; the lenses shipped fast, were packaged nicely, and look exactly as pictured on the site! Though the lenses are a bit pricey, especially considering that they're only half-year lenses, Pinkicon offers the discounted rate of about $32 (compared to the market price of these lenses for $41), along with free shipping on all circle lenses, no minimum purchase required! They sell tons of other circle lenses in all sorts of colors, sizes, and styles, so if you're searching for lenses, check them out!
