Review: Yoki Eye Strawberry 20.8 mm in Red
I love my natural
eyes, but I love wearing circle lenses too! Especially when I want to wear
heavy eye makeup, I prefer to put on lenses to balance out the gorgeousness of
my eye LOL but vice versa, circle lenses will still compliment your natural and
simple eye makeup too. Common colors like blue, green, grey, brown…ah, they are
really mainstream! But have you ever imagined red lenses for everyday wear? Do
you think red is a little bit too much to work around with natural eye makeup?
Ha, I can prove you wrong!
Yoki Eye Strawberry
is the lens I’m going to review today! The brand name is not very familiar to
me, but the ads were very cute so I agree when Dreamie Chuppa, my all-time
favorite online shop of circle lenses, offered it to me. Now let’s see the
product description, shall we:
Product Info
Brand:
Yoki Eye
Type:
Strawberry
Origin:
Japan
Diameter:
20.8 mm (sure huge…O.o)
Color:
Red
Water
Content: 52%
Base
Curve: 8.6
Duration:
6 months (disposable)
Availability
in Prescription: Yes (from 0-800)
Coming in blisters
packaging seems to be a unique signature (or standard? Will update about this
later) of Japan lenses (like the one I reviewed here) and I love it as well!
Sometimes vial packaging can get really rough and…hurting as well, like what
just happened to my nail today when I tried to open my new pair of Geo lenses \(>□< !!)/
The duration of these
lenses are also shorter than regular Korean lenses—only a half of the Koreans’!
I heard from an ophthalmologist that the shorter the duration of your contact
lenses, the better & healthier your eyes will be. Storing and soaking them
inside solution cannot kill all the bacteria that “get” and “stick” onto your
lens’ surface, that’s why sometimes you feel itch or pain while putting on a
quite worn lens. Therefore, basically…lenses with shorter duration are far
better. Okay. One more point added for this lens! XD
As usual I got this
in my prescription, which currently is -350 for both of my eyes and hoping for
it not to add in any way.
P.S: I love my floral
background and so do you and I hope it didn’t disturb you to see the original
pattern and color of this lens clearly!
Color:
♥♥♥♥♥
Not true to the
described color at all. It’s a PINK, definitely is. Even to look it inside the
case, I would tell it’s a pink—obviously not red! The color is not very vibrant
while worn on eyes too. People can tell you’re wearing red pink lenses, they
won’t gasp like “meh…it’s pink?” but more like “wow, nice color you have there!”,
thanks to the dark red-almost-black color that dominates the lens more than the
pink does, only being like gradation and put behind the strong pattern lining
(look at the both inside in lenses pic below!) The nice thing that puts one
more heart for the color scoring is the yellow thin lines along the center
area. The yellow would make a nice detail but not too overpowering there, yet
it helps a little to blend the color of lens with my natural dark brown eyes.

Design:
♥♥♥♥♥
The overall design is
actually very pretty; I believe it implies some kind of flower on the pattern.
Despite the pretty design, I merely dislike the boldness of the pattern lining
itself. It’s too dark, making this lens looks more forgiving while worn, that’s
good, but from faraway you can barely see the pattern and the color—all just
seem…what, blurred? It’s useless to have pretty floral design but you can’t
really see it once it’s worn—unless people are within 45 cm near to your face.

| pretty floral design! |
Enlargement:
♥♥♥♥♥
Definitely the
biggest lens I have so far! I love how it enlarges my eyes but not in a creepy
way, it’s more wearable with makeup on though. The enlargement effect is
nothing like 20.8 mm, won’t you be scary as hell if you have such a large iris,
but I believe it’s around 17-18 mm. Compared to the 19 mm Komilook, Yoki Eye seems to be a little biiiit smaller. The outer limbal ring is thin; the reason
why these lenses are big is because of their literally-big size.

Comfort:
♥♥♥♥♥
It’s surprisingly,
very comfortable on my eyes. It doesn't hurt, no itch at all, and worn well on
my eyes without eye drop up to 8-9 hours. Lovely how big lenses are
comfortable, because I found my eyes are quite not fit lately for quickly &
easily getting tired of wearing lens especially those with big diameter. Yoki Eye Strawberry is far, far more comfortable than Komilook Leopard Gray, in comparison of big circle lens' comfort.
Selca time! You do the judgement yourself, it's surely a beautiful pair of circle lenses but alas, the design is not very vivid from afar :(

Last Words?
Yoki
Eye Strawberry is a pretty, decent big circle lens that is wearable for
everyday use. Light makeup will do pretty well along, so no worries. Those with
very small eyes might find it a little bit too big, but with dramatic lashes I think
nothing could come as impossible anymore! Overall it’s great and very
comfortable, but the color I got is just…not true to what it’s marketed to be.
