Colored contacts in san diego question?

So i live in san diego and i want colored contacts but i dont want to buy online. i see tons of stores in the malls here in san diego, but only in two malls, Parkway Plaza and Grossmont center. I bought some colored contacts a t a store called fashionista in parkway plaza but they did not keep the color of the contact. When i put them in , they blended with my eye color. Now my friend has some colored contacts that she bought from one of the malls, and she has darker eyes than me but yet her contacts still kept the color of the contact when she put it in. She did not get them at the same store as the ones i got, so my quesion is for people who have bought colored contacts at Grossmont Center or Parkway Plaza. here it is: What store did you buy your colored contacts at, what mall, and what color did you buy? Please show a pic of your eye color naturally and then show another pic of how your eyes looked with the contacts? you dont have to take a picture but you should find one on the internet close to your's. best answer 10 points. :P
