Yay! Just placed my order for Flamingo, Pink Pigeon, Party Parrot (this color won't leave me alone for some reason) and the Robin's Egg e/s. Beauty budget blown for the month. Next month, NARS owns my behind.

uhm I dare say medium pigmented (there are more pigmented lips out there) but lipsticks are often darker or redder than how I expected them to be. Purples usually turn a bit red (so they become a magenta) and sheer lipsticks change too of course ^___^' Satin, matte and amplified don't usually change!

Just to pile on here, FtB is a hot mess. Seriously. It is the most maddening matte I have ever worked with and I put up with it because the color is so danged pretty. But Matte2 e/s's have shown me I shouldn't have to work so hard. Thankfully I have Nubile p/p and Virgin Isle CCB to help with FtB's 'issues'.UGH...FtB is all kinds of sad. It's just....hm...i can't talk about it...I hated it with a vengeance and threw it in the garbage in a fit of anger. I kinda regret it and the moola spent on it! Anyhooo thanks shontay money saved!

I think it's because Party Parrot is such a pretty red-pink. It just looks so stunningly bright it refuses to be ignored. You know, like that annoying macaw that won't shut up unless you pay it some attention.Same here! WHY

Party Parrot is definitely the one I'm most interested in and I know why!Same here! WHY
First off, even in my non-makeup days, I always had a tube of Impassioned, which is perfect for my skin tone and brightens up my whole face like magic.....and Party Parrot looks like it will be the extra-cute matte version! Also, this sort of cross between watermelon pink and bright coral/red is the freshest new shade around - last year, the only color we had that came close was Full Speed and I wore that baby TO DEATH. It's just one of those colors that's just off center from pink, red or coral - it's complex without being dirty or greyed out either, which is very new, uncommon, flattering and fun. What's not to love????!!

Kimbunney - whatever cute pink you have on in your picture is telling me you are going to rock Party Parrot at the very least (although I'm thinking Scarlet Ibis and Pink Pigeon are going to look great too, if very bright.) Good luck on your ordering when you are ready to flash the cash!

I've got P & P, but I don't have Pink Pigeon yet to compare. P & P isn't that bright - it stops short of eye searing, plus it's very creamy and rather glossy, so totally different texture. Actually Pink Pigeon looks rather similar to Rare Exotic Mattene to my eye....that's the one I think will be most similar on for my lip color and complexion (plus they're both matte).

Scarlet Ibis is very pretty...but not on me. Too orange. But on the color alone it looks fab!
