That sounds very pretty

I paired it with it with Scene on the lid, Phloof on the brow, Carbon to darken the outter corner, and then I took Parrot up from the Crease all the way up. I used grey eyeliner (marked for glamour) as a liner. I liked this, it really allowed the Parrot to stand out against all the grey/neutrals. It would work pretty paired with yellows also.

Late to the game but I already own Parrot and UK is sold out so no BU for me, but I bought Banafsaji, Hajar Karim and Gameela. I'd have bought Farasha but again, UK is sold out. I'm excited, but I wish I knew how to pronounce them all properly.

They're mostly pronounced how they look:
-- ban-af-sa-JEE - means "violet", both the color and the flower (all unaccented vowels except the last);
-- ha-jar ka-REEM - means "Precious Stone" / "Jewel" / "Gem" (all unaccented vowels except the last);
-- fa-RA-sha - means "butterfly";
-- Gameela is an exception to "pronounce as it looks" - it's usually ja-MEE-la - means "beautiful" and is also a girl's name.

Thank you, I appreciate it!

I really, really wish I'd managed to get Farasha. It's such a gorgeous orange. Does anyone know of a colour similar to it?

I too was wondering how to pronounce the names.

Every time i try to remember the name of the Rimal Dihabia quad my brain tries to tell me that it is really called the Raul Julia quad.

I bought a backup of Parrot. I didn't need it, but I still recall the feeling I had when I missed it the first time around, so I was hot on it the first comeback, and reflexively bought another this time.

I'm considering getting a BU of Parrot too for the same reason.

If anyone has a BU of Farasha they don't want or Parrot (I know, slim chance!), please keep me in mind. Thanks. :)

I skipped Parrot (despite the fact I found it GORGEOUS, seriously) because I've got tons of shades like him... I used one of them with Banafsaji recently and they work together beautifully <3

Sounds gorgeous! I'll be doing this when my Banafsaji arrives. It should've been here today but the mail man isn't being my friend and making me wait!

I was talking about this look (I posted it in the Temperature Rising thread because I've got Feel my pulse on lips), but I experimented more... I love Banafsaji also with Cool Heat *_*

That's gorgeous! Bah, I missed Cool Heat unfortunately. I do have a bunch of other blues thankfully but ah, one day I'll get my hands on CH.
