MAC Party Parrot & Pink Pigeon (Strength Collection)

MAC's latest collection titled 'Strength' featured five pretty awesome Matte lipsticks. There were however, only two that were on my shopping list: Party Parrot and Pink Pigeon.

Crazy bird names for bright lipsticks. Me gusta mucho.

MAC describes Party Parrot as a bright red pink. It is bright, but for me I would say it is more of a coral color in the tube.

I used an MUA Cosmetics bright orange eyeliner as a lip liner for this, and it worked out pretty good! If you want a matching MAC lip liner, Lasting Sensation would be the best one. Here's how Party Parrot looked on my lips:- 

Pink Pigeon is described by MAC as a bright cleanest pink. I would say that description is bang on the money. 

I used a Barry M lip liner for Pink Pigeon, and it was just a little bit too dark, as you can see my liner in the picture below. MAC recommend Embrace Me as a matching lip liner for Pink Pigeon.

I love both of these lipsticks, and I'm gutted that they're both limited editions. The only small consolation is that Candy Yum Yum is now a permanent MAC collection lipstick, which is very similar to Pink Pigeon. Phew. 

Will you be checking out MAC Strength collection? Have you ever rocked a bright lipstick before?
