Head to Head: MAC Party Parrot vs. MAC Impassioned Lipstick
So I bought some new lipsticks. Yessiree. It was my birthday a few weeks ago, and I decided to gift myself via a MAC and Sephora haul. My MAC picks included Party Parrot, a bright red pink. I did my research online…or so I thought.
When I saw the lipstick in person, I was all a lady ga-ga. 
It is a beautiful colour. But there was something about it that reminded me of another lipstick. I dug through my collection and sure enough, there it was: MAC’s Impassioned, an all-time favourite. I then Googled both lipsticks and saw many, many comparisons of the two.
Party Parrot is matte, and I would say has more red and a bit deeper.
Impassioned is an Amplified Creme and has a bit more coral undertone to it.
Do you need both? Probably not unless you’re a lipstick junkie like me. I love them both.
Who doesn’t love a bright lipstick?

I love both on you! I need to check both out!

They are both fun colours. Much brighter in person than it looks online

Wow nice call there! It is pretty similar! Both do look good on you, but Impassioned will always be one of my faves!

They are very similar. Differences are a bit more noticeable in person. I lurv both.

I didn’t think I need Party Parrot. Now I think I do. Also on my MAC list, Rebel and Diva <—thanks to you and Cheryl for tweeting about that one. No worries, one day I'll just enable back XD

Oh yay – so glad you compared them! I have and love Impassioned but and wasn’t sure whether to get Party Parrot (its so beautiful but similar) but seeing your side by side I can see that Party Parrot definitely has a place ready for it in my collection

It is different enough Ingrid.
It’s so pretty – I’ve been wearing it a lot lately.

Impassioned was the first Mac lipstick I bought (due to your evil influence!!) I love it. Of course now I want this Parrot one too…

I have a handful of things that I need to take to MAC to get recycled. I’ve been itching for a new super pink, so I’ll take a look at these!
(MAC will exchange six empty MAC cosmetic containers/old products for a new tube of lipstick – it’s part of their recycling campaign!)
