I tried Parrot & Ingenue Blue on my hand one day & I swear IB is the non-frosted version of Parrot. I didn't know if anyone else noticed that. Maybe the IB could be worked in with really frosty bluish shades to try to recreate the color? Just a thought!
*s* Of course, it's gone too pretty much....unless you can still find one somewhere.

I love Ingenue Blue, so I guess I need Parrot too

You could try Freshwater over IB, or a mixture of Freshwater and White Wheat over IB or simply Blue Absinthe over IB... I have those colors, but I've never seen Parrot in real life...

On LJ awhile ago, someone posted a comparison of Blue Peep Fluidline dusted lightly with Gorgeous Gold eyeshadow and it was nearly identical to Parrot. (Though I don't own any of the three, so I'm just going by pictures)

It *is* similar to steamy, but different enough IMO - lol but that's just me I guess. I don't have a problem working with steamy so I'm afraid I can't be of much help :-/

Parrot is one of a kind. HOWEVER, there is a way you can re-create Parrot =)

Oh, and here's another Parrot substitute you can create, but sorry, I have no idea who this picture is by:

Okay. So we got all the eye palettes in today. ANDDD, in the Teal palette, I swear, "A Bluer Blue" looks identical Parrot. I coudn't swipe it on my hand because it was live product, but I'm gonna bring my parrot to work tomorrow and see just how similar they are.

Parrot was such a wonderful color. they really should re-release it. or maybe they're not as a marketing scheme so that all of us parrot-lovers buy two or three different things trying to recreate it. hm, tricky tricky.

I got Parrot from my mom since she knew I liked bright colours, But no matter how hard I try it just doesn't work for my eyes. Which bites.
Good luck trying to find something like it girls!
