MAC DSquared2

MAC's latest collection to hit the stores is called DSquared2 was inspired by a cutting edge fashion house. The team of clothing designers teamed up with MAC this fall to create a color collection that is both cutting edge and put together at the same time.

From MAC, "Every season the fashion crowd is up and on the run, crazy for the fierce and sexy fun we've come to expect from designer twins Dan and Dean Caten. With their haute hi-jinx and body-beautiful clothes, a collaboration with MAC simply could NOT be avoided!"

The first item that popped out at me is the Lipstick in Nude Rose, this sounds like it has Holy Grail status for me. I can't wait to get this shade and if it is as great as I am hoping, I will purchase a back-up of it. Other than that, I am very curious about the Lip Erase. The pros use it to erase natural lip color so that the lipstick shde that will be layered on top of it will really pop. I predict that this one will be a sell-out. Other than that I want the Tinted Lip Conditioners, I fell in love with them during Hello Kitty and keep my eye out for them in all new collections. I would also like to get the Kohl Power Eye Pencil but I haven't really fallen in love with any of the eye products.

But hey...if I find a HG lip shade, I will consider this collection to be more than fantastic.
