Nars Orgasm Blush

This is one of my favourite blushes for summer! I don't wear it so much in the winter and autumn because I feel like it's super bright and pigmented and is a bit too much for the colder seasons. I really like the packaging on these blushes because they're sturdy and easy to store but they get dirty really easily, especially when around other powders. It has a really pretty sheen when applied to the cheek bones, its lovely and gold in the sunlight which makes it amazing for warmer days. It's super pigmented and blends really easily, I like to apply mine with a duo fibre brush; it gets a good amount of pigment and shimmer and blends out super quick. You really don't need to use a lot of product when applying so one of these blushes will last you forever!

I was so happy when i got this for Christmas as when i bought the foundation this was tried on with it and i looooved it! Such an easy way to add colour back into my cheeks without using much product. I love this when i want to add a little bit more and something special to my face during a night out. The packaging is also amazing!

I bought this blush after hearing all sorts about it on youtube and in Mecca stores expecting it to tick all the boxes!

Of course it's beautifully packaged, and the service at Mecca is great as they apply it for you to see if you like it etc. It seemed pretty in the store lighting and the MUA said it looked nice, and although I wasn't really sure if it was me, I bought it.

Upon wearing a few more times I found it a little too warm toned for my liking as it is quite a bright pinky tone. I usually prefer more brown based blushes as I have a naturally pink skin tone and redness in my face so it was all a little much.

What I did like about it though was the flecks of shimmer in it which gives a nice, natural glow and flush to the face!

I would reccomend it to friends as it seems to be universally suiting, but just not for me!

The colours of this blush is beautiful, however the colour pay off is questionable. I have a few Nars blushes, including singles and pallettes. I recently brought the orgasm shade and the color pay off is not great, the liquid is far better than the powder but it's still a very light color and a little tiny bit of shimmer which is quite nice.

Overall it’s a great tried and true blush. Its buildable and works on many skin tones. Very blend-able and lasts all day. This is one of NARS most popular products and a make up bag must for me.

This product delivers and goes really well with my brown skin tone. I normally use the nars liquid blush first and then top up with this powder one. Gives a really nice glow as well to the cheeks. I always get compliments on my make up when I use the nars orgasm blush!

This is a very pigmented blush I really like the colour and it is grate for a night out I would recommend this blush to someone who wants a bold colour

After having a lot of success with Deep Throat from Nars I thought it would be worth trying something different and giving Orgasm a go. It is a beautiful shade of peach and the gold highlights really give it that something extra. Unfortunately the first time I wore it I had the misfortune to find out that I am allergic to Orgasm. I had a pretty bad reaction (which I've had to some Nars eyeshadows before) and had to take it back and change for a different brand.

I did find a close alternative in Bare Minerals which is my go to brand, as I know I don't react to anything from their line. Still a bit sad though that Orgasm and I had to part ways.
