Nars Orgasm is one of those cult products every beauty lover has heard of and as a girl who can never have too many blushes, I have been lusting after it for a long, long time. The main deterrant for me was the price tag - $50 is a sizeable dent in the pocket when it comes to blush, especially as Orgasm is a product that so many brands have tried to emulate resulting in more affordable dupes. While at first I settled for these alternatives eventually I had to cave and pick it up.
Nars Orgasm really is THE blush that every woman has to own. The packaging is understated and classic, a matte black compact whose size may seem small but then how often do you really pan blush? In saying that with Orgasm it would be a blush that's easy to do so as the colour is so wearable.
In the pan it comes off as a bright peachy-pink that looks like it has a lot of gold glitter through it, however when applied it's much more subtle like a marriage between a blush and a highlighter with a golden sheen. The powder is finely milled and heavily pigmented, you don't need a lot of product on you brush. Normally I apply this with a light hand and it creates the prettiest blush on my medium-fair skin that can be worn daily, or heavier for more of an impact. I have combination skin and work long hours but this blush lasts the distance without the need to reapply.
This blush really is worth all the hype and I can happily recommend it to everyone, the colour is one which would be universally flattering making it a must-have for all blush lovers.
This is the perfect blush - believe the hype.
The colour is a beautiful peachy, coral with a slight shimmer to it. Don't worry though as once it's applied it doesn't look glittery - the shimmer almost acts more like a highlighter. I have olive skin but this blush should suit most skin tones.
This product easily lasts all day without having to do any touch-ups. It comes in a small, compact size black case and you really only need to apply a little bit each time so it will last a while even if you use it every day.
There are a lot of dupes out there but it is worth it to give the real thing a try. It's a product that's definitely worth the money.
