I HAVE to ask... Where will all of you wear these bright lipsticks!?????

Where will I *not* wear bright lips?
I wear shades like Candy Yum-Yum, Show Orchid, Girl About Town, etc., to church (and I go to a rather conservative Baptist church), to the doctor's office, out to lunch.
I never wear anything other than neutral eye makeup, anyhow, and I have nice lips, so it seems to work for me.
The only comments I've ever gotten are ones like, "You look pretty," or "You have beautiful lips."
My Party Parrot is to be delivered today.

I'm wearing Scarlet Ibis today too :) I swatched it yesterday next to Hibiscus and Lady Danger. It's not really anything like Hibiscus - it's much brighter and the finish is very different so they don't really compare. It is much more similar to Lady Danger, though I think LD is redder.

For all you lovely ladies enjoying your Scarlet Ibis lippies. How do you like the texture of the matte lipstick? Is it creamy? I can't wait to get my lippies.

I wear them everywhere and anywhere. Today I'm wearing Scarlet Ibis at home, to the school to pick up my children, then to the shops, and now home again. And why not?

Indeed, why not?
Why not look pretty everywhere you are?
You sound like my kind of folks!

Thanks; this makes me feel better about missing Scarlet Ibis!
I have Lady Danger, and while I like it, I rarely wear it, because it just doesn't seem to suit my coloring all that well.

Tried to resist this collection, but now that Pink Pigeon is sold out online, I'm heading to my FS store to see if I can b2m for it. At least I won't be spending any $. Wish me luck!

I was in my local store as soon as it opened this morning and they were already getting calls to hold lippies. I b2m'd for Scarlet Ibis and Party Parrot, which I can't wait to wear. The other lipsticks were really pretty, but I already own Morange, Flamingo reminded me of a sheer Ever Hip (which I have backups of, so really I'm covered for that colour) and bluey-pinks like Pink Pigeon aren't really my thing (I have CYY, and don't wear it enough to justify buying something similar) but the texture of all the mattes in this collection is lovely and silky.

By the time I decided what I wanted (which was like, 10:15am haha) the SA said they were already down to just 4 Pink Pigeons and so I would imagine that most of these lippies won't last the day here in Toronto!

Absolutely wonderful. I've been wearing it for 4 hours now, it's fading, but still there and it's not drying AT ALL. Wore Pink Pigeon yesterday and it was the same. :)

I'm hoping to B2M for Pink Pigeon today. Though I'm not sure if I'll love it or hate it. Candy Yum Yum looked too weird on me, and I already have Something New as my go-to hot pink, so we'll see.

... just picked up pink pigeon and flamingo...I am regretting not getting party parrot (a 2nd BU!). Anyhoo she said get them while they are still here because they've been selling like crazy and it's only 11:00 pm! They had maybe 8 left of each!

It was so funny this lady beside me said: I am gonna need 1 parrot, 2 pigeons and ...flamingos....and the SA laughed and she's like that's a lot of birds LOL!! Who would have thought in a MAC Store?

I called to make sure my stuff was on hold.
It wasn't. I sat on the phone for 9 mins while she looked.. and every 10 seconds I heard BEEP... BEEP.. BEEP.. That could send someone to the insane asylum.
Psh. So I got everything on hold, again. But they made me pay for it over the phone this time.
Weird. I wanted to B2M for one of the items so whatever.

I don't know what's with me lately! Everything is irritating!
