The pair of lenses I'll be reviewing today are none other than the Dolly Eye Puffy 3 Tones Brown. They have a wonderfully natural iris-graphic design with a 3-gradient tone of dark brown to hazel to a nice subtle pink near the pupil! These lenses are made in Korea by a brand called DueBa but are individually distributed by different sources and then sold by 3rd or 2nd party shops like UNIQSO.
These lenses are available in six different colors, brown, blue, green, grey, pink and violet, all of which are absolutely beautiful. The lenses have a base curve of 8.6mm and a diameter of 14.5mm -just enough to give you that subtle and natural enlarging effect.
The 3-toned-ness of the lenses, combined with the iris graphic design actually makes the lenses look rather natural, despite their enlarging effect!
Delivery and Packaging
UNIQSO is an expert at packaging their lenses. They come in these cute little boxes, along with a free basic lens case and a q-tip for miscellaneous cleaning (not pictured). The bubble wrap keeps the lenses nice, snug and safe all throughout the shipping process. My lenses came in approximately 3 weeks, but that's mostly because Philippine Customs has some serious issues. But on UNIQSO's side, they were very speedy with shipping and tracking!
Color, Design, Enlargement and Comfort
Like I said earlier, I'm absolutely in love with how natural these lenses look on my eyes. My eyes are naturally dark brown, and these lenses complement their shade perfectly so that the 3-toned-gradient blends perfectly with my natural eye color. The color also manages to complement my natural skin tone quite well!
In natural light, the lenses look almost like my natural eye color, but with added flare. The pink in the middle really draws attention to the eyes and adds a pop of color to the overall look. Where enlargement is concerned, it's obvious from the above pictures how well these lenses do in that department. Additionally, because of the shape and size of my entire eye in general, even just a small increase in the diameter immediately makes my eyes look larger. I immediately look more awake and alert after wearing these. In a more poetic way of saying things, these lenses give me that pefectly natural doe-eyed-dolly look.
Though the design isn't as exciting as the EOS Flower 2-Tone Blue Lenses, I think these lenses are sufficiently bubbly and cute while still managing to look absolutely natural. Where comfort is concerned, the Dolly Eye Puffy 3-Tones Brown has 38% water content which is somewhat standard with fashion lenses. Despite the the lenses being larger than what I'm used to, these were a breeze to wear and I did not feel any irritation at all! You can see that compared to my other lens reviews, the redness in my eyes with these lenses is comparatively less. While you can definitely feel that you're wearing lenses while you have these on, it's not exactly distracting. You forget you're wearing them after a while. I did have some difficulty inserting them into my eyes though haha. It's probably just my incompetence though :P
If I had the capability of recoding my genetic makeup, this is probably the eye color I would give myself haha. It looks sufficiently exciting and unorthodox without being too overbearing. They're also absolutelyperfect for Big Dolly Eyes.
I got my lenses graded -1.25 on both sides and I think it's worth noting that the lenses were perfectly graded. I've had some experiences where lenses sometimes interfere with my peripheral vision and I get dizzy with inconsistent grading, but I'm glad I didn't experience that with these lenses :)
The Verdict
Color - 5/5: Completely natural, but not boring
Design - 4/5: Simple natural looking iris design
Comfort - 4/5: Comfortable to wear but you can still feel you're wearing them
Enlargement -5/5: Enlarges and makes my eyes look more alert
Final 4.5/5

Those lenses looks really nice. I will definitely consider them when I'm done with mine. Thanks for the review :) And best of luck with the competition (The video was really well-made, I instantly gave it a thumbs up!)
These are so pretty!! Love them :D I will probably get them :3
oooh, the lens look so pretty on you! ^_~
Thanks! I'll try to do a tutorial on it as soon as I can. I can probably film one over Labor Day, hopefully. Thanks for all the support! BTW, awesome blog! I've followed :)
I know right! I hope they make a darker brown version of this with a red or purple tone :) It'd look so much more natural but striking! Thanks for dropping by! Checked out your blog too! I've followed :)
I think you can pull it off! But you might have to try a hazel mixed in with another tone rather than a pure brown :) Either way I think your natural eye color is striking enough :)
Thanks Lauren!
Thanks for the support and I'm gad you enjoyed this review and my video. I really really appreciate it :)
Yeah, they have good reviews all around! I have my eyes set on the grey ones next muhahaha
Thanks Janet! I'm sure they'd look pretty on anyone though - they're just that well designed haha

I know! They're such a lovely shade of hazel brown! I wish my natural eye color was like this :) Thanks wanny~!
Aww, thanks Rossy! It'll look pretty on anyone! This shade and design is very wearable for all skintones if I'm not mistaken! :)
hanks Raimar! I totally love your contact lens posts too! If it weren't for you I probably wouldn't have gotten into contact lenses haha.
Thanks.
I'll try to find a shade like that... it's still easier than finding bigger circlelens with my original eye color. I have one pair with 14.02mm or something like that which look exactly like mine.. but I don't wear them often because they are quite small...
Awesome review, dear! Very nice! ^-^
Have a nice day~!
