You haven't used them yet!? Or you just mean you need to use them again?
It's Spring baby! ROCK those bright lips!
I need to find a reason to wear Party Parrot!!! I love that lipstick now! It used to scare the hell out of me!

I haven't used Scarlet Ibis on my lips yet. As for Party Parrot and Pink Pigeon, need to use them again as well as Flamingo. Party Parrot is so pretty with NYX Fuchsia lip liner! I was thinking what if MAC did lip liners of the lipsticks in this collection? That would be SO AWESOME!

True. It is sad to see at which prices the goods are sold....

Buy two, sell one on ebay for $80 and your money back. Not that I am advocating that. I still have not used my SI and thinking of getting scads of money on ebay is tempting, however. At the point the e-bay price exceeds the amount it takes to dupe the lipstick at one of those custom color companies is the point where I balk. Can't you pay for a dupe for about $30 or $35???Hi there! I know this thread was kinda buried, but I just wanted to share! I'm in Brazil and we got Iris Apfel this past month! yay! I was able to get Party Parrot today (the last one in store). They still had Flamingo, but I already got that one. the only downside is having to pay $40 for it

to me reselling MAC is immoral. one thing is buying compulsively or then u stop using a product and then swapping or maybe here but doing it for profit....is ridiculous.

Wow, $100?? That's ridiculous. I'm amazed that color is so highly prized. I wear mine a lot for day time, because it's cute and convenient, but I didn't back it up and I won't feel sad when I've finished my tube - there'll be another "latest, greatest" spring lipstick next year and so on and so on.

It is odd to me also, as it it the least unique and most ho hum color of the collection. Easily duped IMHO. Oh well, I can't pick the trend or what will sell like that, its bananas.

I think Flamingo is the most unique one actually...I could find a million bright pink/red/orange colors even just in MAC's line, they are beyond boring. I've yet to find a dupe for Flamingo though. However, I would still never pay more than $25 for any lipstick or lipglass. If I can't get them on the MAC website, I just give up on them usually.

I also think it is the most unique of IA. Flamingo is universally flattering and the reformulated lustre finish is gorgeous as you can build it up or wear it in a sheer layer. While the pink lippies in this collection were gorgeous, they are easier duped, especially as there are so many pinks around.

^ITA I love the color and the lustre finish. I won't stop my search. I'm going to keep stalking my local cco in hopes that one actually gets there.

I feel the same way about Flamingo. I got it, I like it, but it's not that special to me. I have only worn it two or three times since I got it. With the IA and S3 lipsticks I got so many cute lipsticks that this one is not THAT special. Still pretty I guess.
Party Parrot is a whole other story. I love Party Parrot so much... Unfortunately I didn't get a BU so I use it sparingly. I hope they'll repromote it at some point.

Yes, I hear Flamingo getting so much love, but Party Parrot is my favorite of this collection. Pink Pigeon is getting lots of wear too. BF loves it every time I wear the Pigeon. It goes with everything too. I am such a dork, I still have not tried Scarlett Ibis.

Party Parrot has been my favorite lipstick this entire Spring! I did back it up, so I use it as often as I like.
Scarlet Ibis is so gorgeous, though. One of the best reds for my complexion I've ever tried. You really should break it out! Personally, if Party Parrot looks great on you, Scarlet Ibis will be nicer than Red Racer from Hey Sailor! on you as well.

I have to say, Scarlet Ibis has become my favorite out of this collection. Followed by Flamingo, Party Parrot and then Pink Pigeon. Pink Pigeon is just a little too neon for my liking, but when I blot it I also will use either a gloss over it or another lippie to help tone it down. I do love the new matte formula. I hope MAC keeps it up.

Mine too. I actually wore Pink Pigeon today, thinking I applied Quick Sizzle. Ugh... Fridays...
Love them both though. They really brighten up my day. Party Parrot is very special IMO
