Super Pinky grey - honeycolor.com

I ordered two pairs of lenses and a case from honey color recently when they were having a free shipping promotion. I ordered my lenses on a Wednesday and they didn't ship out until the Monday after. I think they had a lot of orders due to the promotion. Once the order shipped, transit time was standard. They did get stuck in customs for a few days so I got nervous since I recently had some lenses get stuck for almost 2 weeks but that didn't happen again.









The items were well packaged in a a bubble wrap envelope. The lens vials came in honey color boxes with instructions for putting lenses on. My case was wrapped in extra bubble wrap and it was in a box. Everything arrived in perfect condition. All in all, I think Honeycolor has a great selection, great prices and their standard shipping is fine. 

I have been wanting some nice grey lenses for a while and I was very excited about these lenses since the color comes very close to the pupil and I've they give a good, complete color change because they're opaque. Unfortunately, the result on me was unnatural. They look o.k. in photos but in person they read as fake immediately. I might just be wasting time trying to change my yellow brown eyes to grey. I ordered some Gothic 3 tones in Grey, hopefully those will work out better...=\

Color/design 5/10
     I feel bad giving such a low rating because in the case the design looks nice and I love that the grey isn't too dark. They don't have enough clear pixels to blend and even though the color comes close to the pupil, my natural color shows a bit in bright light anyway.Since the inside ring is such a harsh circle and the lens is so different from my eye color, these read as fake right away
Enlargement: 7/10
     These are moderately enlarging but still have a natural-looking size. the limbal ring is noticeable but natural.
Comfort: 8/10
      These are fairly comfortable. I stop feeling them once I've had them in for a half hour or so and i have no issues with clarity of vision. they're comfy enough for an 8 hour work or school day.
Naturalness: 3/10
      again, I feel bad giving such a low rating but for me these are VERY unnatural looking on me. Even in very dim lighting it's apparent that they're fake. The brightness of the design make them look reptilian or something. I've read reviews describe it as a "3D" look.

I don't have pictures of myself wearing these yet but I figured the pics of the lenses alone could be helpful.

I'm left unsure about the super pinky lenses. The other colors may work better since they seem less bright but I'm too afraid to try them. I may get the wine red to dress up as a vampire /test out a darker color. These lenses don't look good on me and i doubt they'd look good on anyone with light-medium brown or green eyes. Blue or grey eyes would probably blend better so perhaps they won't look as fake. They're not as unnatural on dark brown eyes but they're still kind of obvious because they're bright.
