Went by the Pro store yesterday and they're sold out of every single lipstick already. They're not even sure if any of the other locations have any left!

I mean, I understand making limited stock, but that's just silly. Anyway, I figure that if I miss out, I miss out. I'm done making myself crazy to get items unless I'm 100% sure they're unique in my collection.

I tried using Early Bird today. This shadow is a lot easier to work with than FTB, and the pigmentation is great. I admit that I was surprised. The color alone unfortunately gave me a bit of the dreaded red eye look. I was able to get a nice look minus the red eye once I added a few more colors to my look.

This shadow is definately much better than I initially thought. I haven't tried the others yet.

I am LOVING these new lippies! I put swatches and a review on my blog yesterday if anyone is interested (link below). I used to be worried about wearing bright lipstick to work and out but now I don't care, I wear what I want.

MUAAndreaMarisa & keyflyhair you both look so very beautiful & amazing with the lippies on.

I wore Scarlet Ibis yesterday when I went to get my hair cut. My best friend loved it as did my hairstylist and all the ladies in the salon. I only wore mascara with it though. I didn't feel like wearing too much makeup. I think it was just enough so that the beautiful color of Scarlet Ibis to show through. It looks more orangy on me than red-orange. I loved it! This new matte finish is just what the doctor ordered. It's so smooth and creamy. Almost like an amplified creme which is my favorite finish.

I wore Party Parrot today. I am visiting my mom. She loves it! She said it was bright, but not too overwhelming since my other makeup was subtle.

I haven't gotten around to wear Pink Pigeon yet. Tomorrow for work I am planning on wearing it. I will let you guys know what my coworkers think.

Flamingo is also such a great shade. I love it!!

Did anyone get a chance to compare Pink Pigeon to Petals & Peacocks? Please humour me and satisfy my curiosity if you have both! Thanks!

The funny thing is, at least at my store, the quantities they got in weren't unusually low. They had about 10-15 of each of them, which is pretty par for the course with the smaller collections. It's just that people were snapping them up in a stampede. It's always interesting when a makeup style suddenly breaks free from the fear factor in the general public. There were lots of teenage girls roaming around at my store buying Pink Pigeon (which was the one that sold out first) and debating over Scarlet Ibis or Party Parrot. It looked like they were all there getting a thrill out of breaking the lipstick taboos they started out their makeup lives with, plus all their moms were encouraging them, remembering when they wore all these colors the last time they were popular. It was kind of heart warming, to tell the truth.

This isn't the first time that the Pro store here has gotten stiffed in terms of the quantities they've received of limited items, so it may be a problem with supply to this particular location rather than in general.

The pro store in L.A. for sure doesn't get the volume some of the other stores get. Not surprising, since it's a storefront in a really busy area with horrible parking, rather than in a convenient mall with other shops and lots of parking. You have to want to go there, on a mission for body paint or whatever, to brave the trek.

If I had a teenage daughter, I'd probably be glad to see her wear some color, instead of going around looking anemic, with wan "nude" lips.
I mean, if the young and the fresh can't do bright lips, who on earth can?
I, 47, wore Party Parrot to church this morning, and was perversely disappointed when a friend pronounced it "not as neon bright as I'd expected."

Hahaha, so true, so true! I had a good laugh at your friend not getting enough neon fix out of your Party Parrot, especially in church!

I didnt want to wear Party Parrot full blown today so I put it on, put Evolution Revolution gloss over it then blotted it with a tissue once and smooshed my lips together. Then applied the gloss over it again. It turned into a complete different color! I love how versitile these mattes are! With some lipsticks I put gloss over it the color moves around and can get gunky looking. With these thats not a problem! I'll have to try this strategy with my CYY as well

I picked up my P.P. yesterdday (Friday... I had my fave MUA place one on hold for me Wednesday when I went in person). I whipped it out hours later with "Embrace Me" l/p from the Daphene collection. I love it!!!!

Wow, that looks soooo good on you! Hope I can pull it off like you!

I get emails often from Live Journal, I swear probably every other email is someone posting ISO PLEASE in need of either Flamingo, Party Parrot or Pink Pigeon. Smh it feels like the lippies have been os for weeks and not days/week.

Anywho! I had on Pink Pigeon yesterday. It stayed on very well but it didn't dry out my lips which is good. I didn't like how it didn't set like Party or Scarlet does. I'm debating if they do restock should I get bu's.
