MAC Cosmetics DSquared Collection: Lipsticks & Fuchsia Fix
MAC DSquared Collection is small launch in-stores today, the 28th. The collection includes two new, limited edition shades of lipstick–Nude Rose and Blood Red–as well as specially packaged, permanent item Fuchsia Fix tinted lip conditioner.
Lipstick
- Nude Rose is a semi-sheer, milky pale pink-beige. It’s kind of like a nude lip color, but it has enough pink tones to it that it warms it up and gives it color.
- Blood Red is a semi-opaque pinky-raspberry shade. It’s not red on me at all; it’s definitely pink and maybe a deep pink at that, but given its name, I was expecting something quite different.
Tinted Lip Conditioner
- Fuchsia Fix is a bright pinky-fuchsia creamy lip color that is really only meant to add a bit of a tint to lips. Fuchsia Fix has always been a favorite, because it does tint my lips a brighter pink shade, but it’s not actually a hot or bright pink on.
These are surprisingly soft lip colors in comparison to the Style Black collection from last week!
- Product: 8/10
- Value: 8/10
- Ease of Use: 8/10
- Packaging: 8/10
Recommendation: If you like rosy, pinky shades, you should consider these.
Availability: MAC Cosmetics

Loving the Nude Rose!!!!
Glad ya liked it!
Hey Christine,
I called both of my mac counters today and they said they weren’t getting it in until Thurs. Where exactly did the collection come out today?!?!!?
Angela
Should be across North America, Angela! I wouldn’t be surprised if some stores didn’t have stock yet, though.
I think I’m definitely going to try blood red 🙂
Hope you like it, Emily!
Ohhhh I like 🙂
Yay!
I just called my local Mac counter in Oklahoma and DSquared is available AND they got the Lip Erase. I’m sooo super excited! I really figured we would get the Mac late. Headed down there in a few.
Yayyy!! Have fun!
Blood Red looks really different on me..
What does it look like on you? Could you describe?
like the fuchsia fix! so pretty!
Definitely great for subtle color!
I was thinking about getting Nude Rose but now I have changed my mind.
I wasn’t thinking of getting any lipsticks, but now I want Nude Rose! lol 🙂
LOL!
What made you change your mind?
my mac store has the dsquared out already….i am going to buy the nude rose lipstick…the blood red reminded me too much of most popular l/s from hello kitty and colour crafted so im gonna skip that one and wait to see what new lippies are coming out with the magic, mirth, mischief collection on the 15th.
Awesome! Glad your store has it out 🙂
Blood Red is so pretty, although its name is so deceivable !!
LOL! Totally not red on me… maybe someone else though?
I will always regret passing up on Blood Red! *slaps forehead*
Blood Red definitely looks worth trying out! So pretty~! Though the color does kiiinda remind me of Popster TLC from the HK Collection.
Ohh… true, I can see that!
Hey christine, I have a dilemma… I am NC 42 and I was just wondering which one do u think would look better on me.. Nude rose or patisserie that came out with euristocrats???
Nude Rose, I think!
I love Nude Rose, all of the lippies are pretty, but I want that one the most.
It’s a pretty shade!
Oh, I actually really like the look of Blood Red. Still kinda irks me that it’s not actually blood red lol.
LOL. I was expecting BOOM RED.
I checked out Nude Rose today but it didn’t stop my heart so I passed on it.
I can see that – it’s pretty but not… OMG!
Is nude rose lipstick almost a dupe for cute-ster?
IMO, Cute-ster is a little more of a peachy shade – not quite so rosy.
Hmmm…
maybe Nude Rose looks kind of like Cute-ster to Monet…
and…
maybe Blood Red looks kind of like Big Bow to me(more so in the lip swatches)
Too bad they don’t have a TLC that looks like Pink Fish.
Cute-ster was definitely less pink on me (at least)! Blood Red is redder than Big Bow, but similar!
i thin i’m going to get the fuschia fix. i loved hk’s pink fish and this looks like a great color. thanks!
I hope you like it, Lorna!
shucks, the MAC store near me called me right when they opened to let me know that this collection did not arrive at their store, actually in Hawaii, period~ 🙁 I guess I’ll have to wait, thanks for the pics!
🙁 Hopefully soon!
blood red can consider itself mine
Haha!
Blood Red looks really nice. I’m going to give that one a try
Hope you love it, Shauna!
I got Blood Red, it’s beautiful, it also make a pretty rose pink with C-thru on top. Also, picked up the purple and blue greasesticks and the face and eye gloss.
Thanks for the tip, Jen! I’ll have to try that!
honestly..the lipsticks colors really dissapointed me, i was expecting more from dsquared2, to be honest i preffer to buy the style black collection.
Aww!
Such a shame about blood red! Definitely looks better in the tube. Any good berry red recommendations?
New York Apple is a gorgeous berry red!
cheers. i’ll sure check that out 🙂
I got blood red, it really reminds me of Milan mode from euristocrats collection except for the shimmer.. but I still like it..LOL!! I wanted to get the nude rose but they are so sheer on my lips:-( I might go back and still get them though,lol
LOL! Hey, no shimmer and shimmer do make a lipstick very different!
This entire collection is SO my style. Its like it has been made for me =O How could MAC be aware of the fact that during wintertime, i always pull off a dark smudgey eye with rosy lolita lips. Gah, they’r just trying to make me more addicted than i already am :p
Aww! 🙂 That’s an incredible feeling, yeah? I haven’t yet had that feeling, but maybe someday, LOL.
Oka, so I’m NC35 and I was wondering if the nude rose
will look good with my skintone?
Yes, I think so! I’m NC30!
It’ll be a little light on you, but I think it’d still work.
I just purchased the Nude Rose lipstick and I love it, its a perfect everday lip for me. I also got the lip conditioner which I am loving too!
Yayy!!
I really like both of these colors!
Yay!!
Not what I expected, the blood red, but I really like this color! I might be picking this one up..
LOL! Same here. It’s a nice color, but not fitting for the name!
i picked up the ‘blood red’ lipstick and although it doesn’t look like blood, it does come out much different on me! (i’m nw35) it turns out a very deep sheer blue pink…
i really like the few items i’ve gotten from the collection, and may go back for more if my pocketbook can handle it…
Definitely not blood red on me either 🙁 I really feel they should have used a color that really suited the name!
the lipsticks really disapointed me!! when i knew about this collection i was super excited about the lipsticks names but they are not special nor unique for me 🙁
Aww! 🙁
After seeing these swatches, I picked up BOTH of the l/s 🙂 And feline of course but that’s another post…
I love, love, love Naked Rose! Perfect natural pinky lip on me (NW15). I love it so much that I am going to get a backup – something I have NEVER done before 🙂
Blood Red was very bright pink-berry on me. Not sure how much I’ll wear it along but I’m still going to try it with neutral eyes.
OH, they look good when you mix both of them together too 🙂
*along=alone
i bought both of these lipsticks too! i bought the blood red one first, and liked it so much i went back two days later for the other….i wore one yesterday, the other today…maybe i’ll try them together tomorrow as you recommend!
Nice!
YAY! So happy to hear you’re enjoying both of these, Cherie!
is the lipstick for this collection has the same price or a bit more pricey?
Same price.
hi!
im debating on blood red or milan mode, they both look very similar, which one do you think is better for NC35?
thanks!
Milan Mode!
what would be a great dupe of nude rose lipstick from mac?
Plink!
Does anyone know a dupe for Nude Rose? because i have it but I only bought one and im almost out and its like my favorite lip color.
Way to Love, which was also LE. Plink! is probably the closest permanent shade.
What would be a good dupe for nude rose i have it and im almost out and im so sad cuz its my favorite color

I really don’t know 🙁
Christine, I am also still looking for a dupe for nude rose cos mine is almost running out 🙁 any luck since last year?
