Cargo SmokyEye Duo in Barcelona like Parrot

[lizard260]

So I bought a Cargo SmokyEye Duo in Barcelona at Sephora today. The duos are matching creme and powder eyeliner that you can layer to make a long lasting smoky eye. So I tried it on when I got home and it looks a lot like Parrot. Definately not an exact match - a bit more shimmery and blue, but gorgeous.

In this pic I have parrot up top and the cream/powder liner in Barcelona lining the bottom.

We don't have Sephora in the UK anymore

I saw a Cargo duo in purple shades that looked divine too, I am loving purple this fall/autumn.

Earlier tonight inspired by a "Mermaid" look in the FOTD thread I decided I'd dig out an eyeshadow pan that I'd got free, attached to a magazine - don't cringe it's actually Aveda - to try and replicate the look. The shade is called "Peacock" and from comparing it on my hand to the swatches I've seen here I think it looks very very similar to Parrot. I don't actually own Parrot nor do I have access to it to do a swatch comparison but I thought it was mention-worthy for you Parrot lovers to check out

ETA: Maybe it's a touch more greeny...

it's very pretty...but when used on the eyes I don't think it looks like Parrot...to me it looks more like a greenish, and Parrot is more of a tealish/blue.

There's another way to create Parrot...if you have Electric Eel and Steamy/Shimmermoss eyeshadows, you're in luck:

This is Parrot.
