I still have some posts to make and photos to re-size but I’ve been pretty exhausted this week. (;\u00b4\u2200\uff40) I’ve resized the photos from the Sakura Park meet up, but I haven’t finished re-sizing the individual shots of Ume. And I also need to reply to comments… last week was so hectic that I’ve been super tired now. Please bear with me! m(_ _)m<\/p>\n

But, I got two pairs of eyes that I ordered from the Lizanna webshop<\/a> a couple of weeks ago. I thought I’d make a small review of them. ( \u00b4 \u25bd ` )\uff89<\/p>\n

Lizanna (formely known as Twin Snow) is a shop by juu-yuki<\/a> (you can also find her on the DD forums<\/a>). The main item that she sells are her self-made urethane eyes, although there are a couple of other products as well, such as shoes. Ever since I got my DD girls, I’ve been on the hunt for perfect eyes. Volks Animetic eyes are pretty nice, but I thought that I’d like to get some urethane eyes… since 90% of my BJDs wear urethanes, too. (*\uff3e\uff3e*)<\/p>\n

The very first eyes that I bought were from SQ Lab, they were advertised as urethanes, but to me it seemed like they still had an acrylic dome. They were quite nice, but a bit small for my DDH-06 girls in 22mm size — I use 24mm eyes from Volks for them. After that I bought White Dolly Story eyes, although they were acrylic they seemed quite pretty. But those were a huge disappointment for me, they look so pixelated and dull. (\uffe3\u25a1\uffe3) Even Volks’ acrylics are better quality and they’re cheaper. I also had to pay EMS postage for the WDS eyes, so I wasn’t a happy panda. (\u30fc\u30fc;) I was somewhat discouraged to try any eyes after that… But the Lizanna eyes seemed so sparkly and pretty, that I eventually decided to order two pairs. Although, I feared that they also might be a bit small, as they’re only available in 22mm.<\/p>\n

The pairs that I ordered were from the Stardust series, Sapphire<\/a> and Amber<\/a>. (\uff61\uff65\u03c9\uff65\uff61) It probably took about a week for them to ship and they arrived in Finland in about a week or less… but then customs took, like, three days to forward them to me, so I barely got them before the weekend. Grr! (\u30fc\u30fc;)<\/p>\n

Anyway, here are photos and more babble:<\/p>\n

They arrived in a regular bubblewrap letter, so I didn’t photograph that. The shipping was only $15, which wasn’t that bad. The eyes themselves are packaged in these cute little boxes, the ribbon keeps the lid on. (*^\u03c9^*)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
There was cotton wool on top and the eyes are attached to the bottom with white blu-tack. Interesting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
It’s a bit difficult to get the colours to light up when the eyes are lying on the floor like this. In doll they become vibrant like whoah! \u03a3(\u309c\u309c)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Put the Amber pair in Ume. (*^\u25bd^*) Emi is wearing Bright Blue Volks Animetic eyes for comparison.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Volks Animetic eye, Lizanna eye & White Dolly Story eye. WDS is my least favourite of these, so pixelated, ugh… Volks eyes aren’t nearly as bad.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Volks Animetic eyes on both sides, Lizanna eyes in the middle.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Here I tipped them over slightly to get the blue colour to pop out more.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And here are both twins with their Lizanna eyes. Amber in Ume and Sapphire in Emi. Sooo pretty and sparkly!! \uff08*\u00b4\u25bd\uff40*\uff09\u2665<\/figcaption><\/figure>

\nI’m very conflicted because these eyes are soo pretty and definitely my favourites of all the eyes that I’ve tried so far — but they just seem slightly small to me. \u30fe(\u00b4\uff65 \uff65\uff40\uff61)\u30ce\u201d I did ask juu-yuki on the forums if she has any plans to make 24mm eyes in the future, I certainly hope so… it’d be a bit easier to position them. With these 22mm eyes I can get them to baaaarely touch the lower and upper eyelid, so that they look nice directly from the front… but if I tilt the doll’s head up even a bit, the expression turns pretty much horrified, ahah… \uff08\u2312\u25bd\u2312\u309e so, bigger eyes would be better, I think. I’ll have to keep these on for a while and see if I’ll get used to them or not. But I’d definitely love to get these eyes for all my DDs! Highly recommended~ \u301c(\uffe3\u25bd\uffe3\u301c)<\/p>\n

Although, I must note that it seems that like SQ Lab eyes, these also have an acrylic dome. But as you can tell from the photos, they’re very sharp and vibrant! \u30fe(@^\u25bd^@)\u30ce No pixels like with acrylic eyes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
