Are there comparison swatches of Flamingo and Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Flirt anywhere? Or could someone swatch these? I'd really like to know if they are similar. Thanks
Temptalia posted individual swatches of Flirt and Flamingo - they're not side-by-side but you can get the general idea of their similarities and differences.

they do seem pretty similar, although I feel Flamingo seems to fill in the lips a little better as well as being more coral, less pink and warmer than Chanel.

Just to confirm, again, this collection IS a Mac online exclusive and will NOT be sold by Debenhams or HoF in the UK. (Was told by Debenhams on their Facebook page.)
I've just seen comparison swatches for Ever Hip and Flamingo and they look identical to me, so now I don't mind not getting Flamingo. I do love the other 3 l/s I got, the matte formula is just lovely.

Thanks for the links
I guess Flamingo is a tiny bit more opaque. Though in her full face photos they pretty much look the same on the lips.

I got my goodies!!!
I had a job interview this morning, and after that I immediately hurried to my freestanding and treated myself to Party Parrot and Scarlet Ibis. Scarlet Ibis was a no brainer, that color is so 'me', but I wasn't sure about Party Parrot. My two fave MUAS were there and it was so much fun! Because no one else was in the store, one of them completely did my face, because after applying Party Parrot he said it had to be balanced with a little more blush and contouring, and it was such a lovely look! He used Entertain me pencil under Party Parrot, and it looked great.
We had so much fun and invented me to their event for Naturally which they have in February that it made up the bad experience from the beginning of the week.
While I was there, they sold their last Flamingo (which was a little too milky white for my liking)!
And I was a bad, bad girl because I then went and got the Chanel Horizon blush.

Glad to hear you got everything you wanted and had a good time at the store. And congrats on the Horizon Blush, I want it so bad, but a little too pricey for me. Enjoy your goodies!I got my goodies!!!

Thank you!
It was so funny because I left the store with Party Parrot on and everybody seemed to stare at my bright, bright lips. For the first time I noticed how drab Frankfurt is in Winter, and people are mainly dressed in black, brown and grey, so I felt very daring. *g*
The MUA at Chanel complimented me on the bright and 'cheerful' lips afterwards. *ggggg*

Should I be surprised that Too Chic is sold out?

It's funny that this sneaked out so fast as there weren't many reviews. But seems that a lot of people bought BU's of it (me including).
So the Chanel collection is out, I need to go to a counter.

Well. I decided to just grab one of my new lippies this morning and go. I was running a little late. I figured, whichever one it is I would wear proudly. I ended up with Flamingo. What a gorgeous pinky-coral shade on me. I love it! This will probably be my everyday lipstick that I carry with me when I either forget to wear another one or if the one I have on that day I just don't want to wear anymore. Usually lustre finishes dry out my lips. I have had Flamingo on since 7am, it's now 9:15am and I didn't even have to reapply it yet. It's not drying and the color stay very well. WOOT WOOT for Flamingo.

It looks really natural, though! Very polished. And he was right - you've to balance the brightness out somehow, when I tried the lippie on at first I really looked like a clown. But now it's really put together. I tried to take pics, but it's such a dark and gloomy day that they turned out absolutely rubbish.
Totally OT, but my Chanel counter did get only two blushes, it's out since yesterday and now there's only one left! That's insane!

I just called the pro store again and guess what...we do get this collection after all
I did already find two sweet girls on here that helped me out and got the things i wanted. Well i think i will still go to the pro store, because i'm thinking i might need back ups. Bad for my wallet, very bad...
