Hmm I will keep this in mind when I get my Scarlet Ibis next week. I got a ship notification but no updates on when it will come, it just says the shipping label has been created. I anticipate I'll receive it Tuesday or Wednesday.
My teeth are white but not bleached white, so wearing shades like Fresh Amour and Gaga 1 make my teeth look yellow. I find using Crest Whitening mouthwash really keeps the yellow at bay, so FA and Gaga don't look too bad, but I've yet to find an orange-red that works with my skintone. I'll def post an update on Scarlet and how it works for me once I receive it!

I'll have to keep that in mind too when my SI comes. I, too, only got a ship notification with a tracking number with no updates. Ordered Tuesday, on Wednesday at about 2:20 I receive a tracking number but all it says is your label has been created. Well, where's the movement on this thing?! LOL. I figured with 2 day shipping I'd have it at least by Friday.

I used two day shipping on my pink pigeon... the tracking still doesn't work but I received a notification from UPS that my package will be here friday. I wouldn't worry quite yet :)

Thanks HoneyMilk. I figured Friday should be the day. I won't complain though. I'm just happy I had the opportunity to snag the lippie.

Did not someone do a comparison between HN and PP? They looked virtually identical, so I'd say you are good.

Now that I've seen Quick Sizzle, seriously, if you have Candy Yum Yum, you really don't need Pink Pigeon too, if you're getting Quick Sizzle. If you don't have Candy Yum Yum, Quick Sizzle is still very close to PP and what I'd call more wearable and sophisticated while still being totally bright and loud too. Especially if you were going to use a lip pencil underneath, there would be not much difference.

Pink Pigeon I'd say is only something to go insane over and do reckless things like buy off of ebay if you don't have CYY and want the absolutely loudest, most obnoxious hot pink you can find. If you have a darker skin tone, Quick Sizzle will actually look brighter and better than PP, too - which is more blue based and with more white undertones, so there's that too.

Check out my further comments in S3/C3 thread if you want more.

I got my Pink Pigeon, and on me, it really is pretty close to Quick Sizzle. PP is brighter, and QS has a bit more blue in it I think, but I love them both. I honestly love Quick Sizzle more though.

Here's a picture of both on my hand (NW15). Quick Sizzle is on the top and Pink Pigeon is on the bottom.

Got my Scarlet Ibis! I think I am officially done with this collection. Unless Robin's Egg re-stocks and I get it. Don't really need it though. But for some reason it's been on my mind lately.

I am so sad! I ordered Scarlet Ibis during the 2 hour restock, and I received my order today and they sent me Pink Pigeon!! It even says Scarlet Ibis on the receipt and shipping notices. I emailed CS but I doubt there is anything they will be able to do for me. This was probably my last chance at Scarlet Ibis :(

Oh no! That sucks. I sure hope they'll be able to help you. I wonder if they can locate one through the Gone But Not Forgotten program.

I will see what they have to say about it! They usually have great cs! If it would have been flamingo I wouldn't complain but pp does not look good on me!
