ahhh tried on my party parrot.......... it's everything!!!! favorite iris apfel lipsticks in order (excluding morange) PARTY PARROT, flamingo, pink pigeon and scarlet ibis. ok party parrot comes in as #1 because it's so vibrant coral.. it's not the standard hot pink, nor fiery red... and not the trending hot orange.. it's everything, it's corally pretty ahhhh, it's a breath of fresh air. while i know dupes exist i prefer a mac lipstick because i like the texture and finish.
on scarlet ibis vs. lady danger: lady danger got an 1/8 of a hair darker as if it is either a deeper orange or has the slightest bit of oxidation. scarlet ibis stay true to the stand out, a hair more vibrant orangey red.
ok i tried flamingo and nyx's margarita on my hand and i knew they were dupes (with nyx having a touch of frost) but i tried them on my lips and they are indeed different but close cousins. flamingo is brighter/lighter .. margarita has the frost and has a bit of a deeper orange in it. add a bit of c-thru perhaps to get to the lgihter flamingo?
i truly enjoyed this collection. i love it!!!!
