You make me happy when skies are grey...

Happy Spring Blushies!

The season is officially upon us - ushered in with the hint of warmer breezes on the air, the beginnings of flowers poking through the soil, and SO MUCH MORE SUN!


That being said - now is the time to become religious about your use of sunscreen! Whether you are protecting your skin through a sunscreen in your moisturizer from BKamins or Laura Mercier,through your favorite foundation, or just in a phenomenal simple sunscreen like (a Blush favorite) the COOLA line, prevention is protection!

Maybe you've skipped sunscreen in years past, and are looking to erase the effects of sun damage? Look no further than Laura Mercier's newest moisturizer - Tone Perfecting Creme. This luxurious cream contains Quercetin Plus - a supplement 1000 times more effective than Vitamin C in erasing pigmentation and fine lines due to sun damage. This creme does NOT contain sunscreen, so you still need that ever-important barrier to protect that beautiful skin you're revealing! SNEAK PEEK: Laura is just about to release a VERY exciting sunscreen this May, with adaptogens that create ideal sun protection regardless if you are on the beach or skiing in the mountains - stay posted!!



Interested in faking that perfect glow? Book an appointment for an airbrush tan at Blush and have your friends and co-workers guessing where you took a mini-vacation! Always golden, never orange - our formula is organic, anti-aging, and designed to work with your skin's DHA levels, ensuring you get the perfect glow. Extend the life of your tan and protect your skin with DuWop's Revolotion - a bronzing body moisturizer with SPF 15 - gorgeous color AND essential sun protection!


So get out there and (safely) enjoy the start of Spring!

Happy Spring, Blushies!

Spring is finally here! Time to clean out your closets, your home, and of course, your makeup bag!


This Friday and Saturday Blush will be having our bi-annual Laura Mercier National Face-to-Face Event from 10-7. If you've never been to a makeup event, you definatley need to experience it! Laura's Chicago Team will be joining your favorite Blush Girls doing complementary makeovers. Learn what's hot for this Spring, what works for your skin, and most importantly, how to create the coveted Flawless Face. What could be more fun than gathering up your girlfriends and stopping down to the beautiful Third Ward for complimentary make overs?


Here's a little sneak peek at the super gorgeous Spring trends;)


Luminous Skin-As famed fashion guru Calvin Klein has said, "The best thing is to look natural, but it takes makeup to look natural.” Laura's Flawless Face techniques and products give every woman the ability to have flawless skin while still looking natural, and not over done.


Fresh Pastels- Find perfect harmony with beauty synonymous with nature, well-being and serenity. Washes of pastel hues on the eyes and a deep jade liner along the lash line.



Lush Lips & Peachy Cheeks-As your resident lip junkie, I'm loving shiny raspberry, peach, and berry chocolate tones for the lips and a pinky-peach flush on the cheeks.







.....Just to tempt you a bit....;)

Hope to see everyone's beautiful faces this weekend!
