Heat Your Eyelash Curler

We all want full lashes, right? I do. I’m an avid user of my eyelash curler, and my recent discovery has seriously opened my eyes (pun intended!). Instead of going about your business as usual, heat the “pad” of the device with your blow drier. About 5 seconds will do the trick. And voilà! Instant falsies. […]

What’s in My Makeup Bag?

There is something so personal about a makeup bag. There’s only room for the essentials. I struggle with this concept, and usually tote along at least 3 extra lip glosses just in case. It’s a rough world out there, so let’s see what we’re bringing to battle. POWDERPowder: the first step to any touch up regimen. Blotting […]

Coachella Beauty Cheat Sheet

 I am not attending Coachella this weekend (or next weekend, or probably ever), but several of my peeps are headed off to Indio this weekend. Here’s what I’d bring if I was tagging along. HAIR Bumble and bumble Surf Spray is a industry favorite for a reason. A couple of sprays will leave you with […]

Radiant Orchid: Pantone 2014

I’m about three months late on this, but better late than never. Pantone announced its 2014 color of the year as Radiant Orchid, “an enchanting harmony of fuchsia, purple and pink undertones.” Purple remains one of my favorite colors (lavender especially), so I am excited to share all of my favorite “radiant orchid” products. The […]

Hello, 2014! It’s been a little over a year since I started All You Need is Blush, but this is the first time I finally feel like I can sit down and give this blog the attention it deserves. January was a busy one, but what else is new. This month consisted of a lot […]

NARS Lip Pencils

NARS upgraded your beloved Crayola Crayons, and turned them into your #1 new lip product. Maybe I’ve seen too many episodes of Jersey Shore, but I have a serious fear of lipliner. I also can’t bring myself to spend more money on the “matching” liner so my lipstick will stay on longer. What’s the point? […]

NARS Radiant Cream Compact Foundation

I know what you’re thinking: another post about an overpriced foundation that you’re “obsessed” with? Really? I promise I won’t use  the word “obsessed.” A recent trip to the NARS Melrose store resulted in a couple of stellar purchases, and this is certainly one of them. NARS just released this product about a month ago and […]

Looks I Love: pre-FALL 2013

1. BOLD BROWS + BOLD LIPS: I’m enthralled with Michelle Williams’ fall Louis Vuitton campaign. I love the bold brows and lips with minimal eye makeup. A bold lip dominates the face, so trade in your eyeshadow and eyeliner for a couple of swipes of mascara (and don’t forget to fill in your brows!). 2. NUDE […]
