I decided to break out these bad boys for a birthday party I was invited to, because I knew there would be a mix of familiar faces and total strangers.
After about 20 minutes of talking to one of my really good girlfriends (and creepily getting closer and closer to her to prompt her to say something), I asked if she'd noticed anything different about me.
"Well, your eyes are blue," she said casually. When I asked her why she hadn't mentioned anything, she said she noticed right away but didn't know if I would have wanted her to bring it up.
That wasn't an issue for the girl who came rushing up to me just an hour later to tell me how beautiful they were, or the guy who approached me to share a similar sentiment later that night.
I test-drove the shade on several other occasions and throughout the span of the experiment, they warranted me the most attention, especially from afar.
Was this because these were the least natural-looking shade of the bunch? Or, as Dr. Chernich would put it, "you want someone to look at you wearing your contacts, not your contacts." (My natural eye color also leaked through a bit due to that whole small pupil problem I noted earlier.)
While I didn't experience the newfound makeup freedom like in the case of the honey, I found that the blue shade limited my color choices because it was so bold in and of itself. Overall, I found the blue to be a lot of fun; I consider it to be like the party girl of the colored-contact group.
