I was seeking a quick fix, and I found one from my favorite brand – MAC’s new DSquared Tinted Lip Conditioner is just awesome.

Since it’s MAC, it has great shades and awesome packaging. That’s a given.

But the product is fab too, which too is pretty much a MAC given. I  just used a few strokes and my lips stayed moist and hydrated for hours – and the coverage is  just enough, not too heavy, and not too fleeting.

Give it a try – because dry lips are so not worth kissing.

I finally did yesterday, and I was blown away. Zoom Lash is quite simply, the blackest-black best, most insta-volume mascara I’ve ever used in my entire life.

It’s really hard for me, when testing mascaras, to find those that succeed at the thickening effect, and yet don’t give me the fringe “benefit” of smudge and smear…this so succeeds though. It didn’t clump, and I wore it all day long – and to two events – and it was still perfect when it came time to wash my face!

I see it almost as a push-up bra for my lashes. It lifts and separates, and makes them look bigger! (OK, longer and thicker. Maybe that is like viagra. But work with me here.)

Even better: You only need one layer! Since I am traditionally a two-coat girl, I see this as double value. Hello, recession-friendly!

As I said. Best mascara in the history of the world.

As usual from this line, it’s super-velvety color – but you’ll find these colors to be extra-luxe. They are sophisticated, rich,and just a little bit wild.

I don’t know about you, but I find a little bit of shimmer can positively reinvent the eye.

My favorite shade is young punk – it’s a shimmery purplish black – that I’ve tried as a shadow, but also, applied wet makes an AWESOME liner. Try it – it’s instant night-look.

At one point, I would have said no…but now I can’t imagine having felt that way!

MAC’s Style Black isn’t just black nail polish – though that is an option – but what it is is a super-hot mix of product that is largely inspired by the concept of black.

I will be covering other aspects of the launch in some very soon to come blog posts – but I love a lot of it – but for now, I want you to take a second to consider why you need to own this polish. Imagine the contrast against just about anything you own – and how striking you will appear when you wear it with your slinky pink dress and a sleek ‘do.

Plus, with the Twilight-fever hitting the immediate galaxy, what else would we wear?

I’m all about it…and more to come!

This week, at the Rodarte runway show, M.A.C. designed Maori-inspired geometric tattoo makeup – meant to evoke the feeling of a futuristic tribe.

The result? Ridiculously hot.

“The idea for the tattoos stemmed from Kate and Laura’s desire to celebrate makeup as art not only for the face, but also for the body in a similar way that Indian culture uses henna. They want women to look at makeup as an accessory for an outfit the way you would a bracelet or a necklace,” said Chantel Miller, M.A.C senior artist.

What do you think of this look?

The shade is super pearly, and very intense — especially on my coloring, and when paired with my favorite black liner.

By adding the astro-creamy, rich and frosted shadow, you sort of create an awesome eye supernova. It’s fab. Frosty whites are huge this season – you’ll even see Madonna wearing a variant on her current tour – but I’ve loved the shade since even before it was a trend. It’s just super flattering!

Made exclusively for Nordstrom, MAC’s Rose Is a Rose is an exclusive compact of four shades that are very flirty and floral – but because it’s MAC – have a touch of edginess to them.

Included are the limited-edition shades Seeds of Love and Petal Worship, and encores Solar White and Contrast – all shades that will make YOU worship-worthy. Unless your date is clueless and a waste of time…which most are, anyway.

It’s totally romantic and mingles Bulgarian, Turkish and Tea Roses with the essence of orchid, lily, jasmine and peony to create a rosy retro-scent.

I love the sexy playfulness of it – and the bottle is perfectly cute and compact as well!

No matter what our favorite cosmetic product, though, they all require a good finishing powder to set the look. And my new finishing powder is MAC’s Prep + Prime.

Sometimes finishing powders can create a dry look – this is not a good thing – but this one went on pretty silky, but still helped to reduce shine and set my makeup. It also looked fine on bare skin (just remember to use a moisturizer first!).
