So How Many Parrots Did You Buy?

[foxyqt]

i just really hope Parrot makes it here when the originals collection arrives! almost all of the recent collections have 2 or 3 things missing =/

& when/if it does, im only getting one =)

I totally disagree. I think it's pretty much the prettiest bluey teal out there.

I bought one because it's a 'must have' and I like teals. I don't get the appeal either. I had to use mixing medium with it because it was rather sheer. I wore it yesterday with Ostentatious, a bit of Subtle, Pompous Blue and Wishful (a whole damn eye of goodbyes, LOL). It was pretty, but CARGO's Aegean looks just as good without the mixing medium, IMO.

I thought I was the only one who noticed that. The texture left a bit to be desired too. Kind of gritty almost.

 

[dollbabybex]

i bought one and was completely underwhelmed.

 

[ilorietta]

none doesn't suit me!

 

[user79]

Zero.

 

[SparklingWaves]

I haven't purchased it.

 

[Jot]

None- i was tempted but i think that is just due to hype.

I have an original Parrot so I didn't buy anymore. I don't even use the one I have but after seeing so many beautiful FOTD I'm going to give it a try.

Same here, though I knew the hype had got to me a bit when I considered buying it anyway, just so I had one.

Three….’cause this is like Pompous Blue for me….I bought 3 PBs and used up one in less than a year and had to lay off of it so that I didn’t run out of the other 2 so quickly. I was glad Stormwatch es came along in 2007 to take some of the pressure off of Pompous Blue. I got 3 stormwatch es, too.

I’ve tried Aegean and the dupes for Parrot and nothing compares to it for me. This is the 1st time trying it for me and I fell in love.

On the other hand, other hyped es/pigments – moth brown, All Girl,etc. don’t do it for me…. Got BLM’s moth brown and was disappointed and got a sample of All Girl and said “what’s all the hype about”? But to each their own….

So yeah, I buy things that look good on ME; not what’s being hyped!

Hmmm…..Should I buy another 2 Parrots since I’m only going to buy 3 things from the N Collection??? (I love enabling myself…LOL…)

Only one because I already have the liza pm quad w/kicky blue. I think it is gorgeous and can be used w/so many different colors, especially neutrals.

 

[rocking chick]

Just one parrot right now but I am loving this color.

The color is pretty and unique plus the frost texture for Parrot is much softer & smoother than other MAC frost e/s.

Still considering if I should get a backup...

 

[angelamarie]

None...I'm another person who can't get those types of teals to work on me.

 

[janelovesyou]

I bought 1 on the first day The Originals came out and I haven't even used it yet. That tells me that I'll probably never run out of it.

 

[clslvr6spd]

I bought one.

 

[Chic 2k6]

One. i swatched it and liked it. I got it on the day of release, when I happened to be in Macys for shopping

 

[clamster]

I am totally surprised at how many people bought just one! I didn't get it YET because I got one through a swap but I can't be sure it's authentic. From other post I have read it sounded like everyone bought multiples! I think those who bought multiples aren't confessing lol!! Parrot is a pretty color but not worth the prices on eBay.

 

[distel]

None. They didn´t get it at all and the MAs in my counter didn´t even know, that it was part of the LE.

And - believe it or not - they didn´t even know why so many costumers asked for it because they had never ever heard of it before. Even after I had told them they just shrugged.

I really couldn´t believe it!
