Hmmm I'm prob be better off. S3/C3 has a matte pink in it.

That gives me hope to extend my pink lip collection!

Lou, I loved that color combination, pairing those 2 shadows looks really lovely with teh Flamingo lippy! I also like your nail polish! Great Tut, you are making me want to go and purchase Early Bird now!

thank you! the polish is opi mad as a hatter - so glittery but doubt it will last more than a day at work without chipping the downside to glitter polish eh?!

You're a dollface! Thanks SO much! I'm inspired! Thinking I'll dupe your look with DD in the outer V to make it more wearable for my darker eyes & skintone.

Lou, you inspired me to get Early Bird! It really makes blue/green eyes pop! And I've decided it's unique enough from my other shadows to justify buying it lol.

I'm not sure if this has been asked already as I am trying to catch up on this thread. How does Pink Pigeon compare to Petals and Peacock? Supposedly when I spoke to a MAC live chat person she told me that Lickable was almost similar to PP. Any thoughts? TIA

Petals & Peacocks is more purple than Pink Pigeon and Pink Pigeon is matte whereas P&P has a sheen to it. They are very different in my opinion.

the prices for flamingo on ebay are insane..
posted a cp request in the wishlist forum, if anyone could help me out i'd be forever grateful!

I regret not getting pink pigeon when it was in stock Now I want it badly!

 

[cno64]

Good grief, what gorgeous skin!

 

[jenntoz]

I'm so happy this collection came to the netherlands after all. I was able to get a back up of Flamingo, Party Parrot and Pink Pigeon. I haven't gotten my first PP's and Scarlet Ibis yet, but after seeing the PP's in real life i knew i needed another tube of both. I'm wearing Party Parrot today with a neutral eye and cheek and it's so pretty! I tried Pink Pigeon on saturday after i got the lippies and i love that one as well. I can't wait to get my back ups and Scarlet Ibis. I swatched Scarlet Ibis in store and i like it, but i knew i would wear the pinks more so i didn't back that one up.

I'm thrilled you got your goodies. Was it available online or just in stores?

And a BU of Flamingo is absolutely fabulous.

Only in the pro store in Amsterdam. I had to get up at 6:15 am, but it was worth it. There where two other ladies waiting and one of them was also getting stuff for her friends, so i'm glad i decided to get there early. I'm so happy with my back ups. These lipsticks are so amazing! Love Flamingo and it really reminds me of the colour of flamingo's

And i also found a 165 brush. I got the last one

Didn't you say that one was nice for the naturally blushes? I already love it for highlighting. I always thought it was limited edition, but the MUA said it was permanent at pro stores, but now it's discontinued.

 

[Mac-Guy]

The early bird catches the worm. Congratulations on your 165. It's an awesome must-have brush!

BTW, Lou, combo'ing EB with Coral Crepe is a brilliant idea. I love that PP, looking forward to using it this Spring. Can anyone who has both compare and contrast Pink Vivid pigment (Or Electric Coral pigment) versus Early Bird?

 

[GlamQueen21]

Today I wore NYX Plush Red l/l with Party Parrot l/s and Possem Nose Pink l/g. Very pretty combo!

I'm trying to get off my bright-pink-lipstick hamster wheel.
I have Girl About Town, Full Fuchsia, Hollywood Nights, Fashionably Fuchsia, Rocking Chick, Fun 'n' Sexy, Lickable, Candy Yum-Yum, Party Parrot, Impassioned.
From other brands, I have Prescriptives Geranium, and Milani Rose Hip.
I just need to stop, and I'm trying to do it without medication.

 

[GlamQueen21]

^Me too! It's so hard to resist bright pink lipsticks. I have Full Fuchsia, Pink Burst, Show Orchid, Fusion Pink, Party Parrot, Pink Pigeon, Strayin. Something New, and Candy Yum Yum.

Oh! I also have Show Orchid and Pink Burst.
I knew I'd forgotten a couple!
I also have Nars Schiap, but I don't really like it.

Who regrets not getting all the flamingo's they had on hold? "Oh no thank you I will stick with the one...I already got a backup in the mail" :headbang:
