Nars Orgasm Blush

This much hyped blush, well, lives up to the hype. I love it and out of all of the blushes I own (a lot) it is my absolute favourite. It looks good on all skin tones, delivering a lovely soft pinky apricot shade, with a slight hint of gold - but it's not glittery. Adore this. Lasts all day too. Will be repurchasing this!

Nars, Nars, Nars, how you've made me almost forget that a blush called orgasm is actually kinda weird. It's a very standard pinkish with a hint or coral colour and crap loads of glitter. The glitter doesn't show up and it leaves such a natural flush on the cheeks that you can never go wrong with this blush. It's not the blush I reach for all the time these days, I prefer Madly by Nars more; however I do love this. I will note that I do think it is a tad over hyped. Yes it's pretty, but I can live with out it. After all I would say my life has been okay before Nars Orgasm came along and cut me $40 short.

No boys needed! Haha.

There is a reason NARS' orgasm is so popular and it isn't because of the name... Prior to using this I hadn't tried any NARS products but was super stoked when this came in a kit that I ordered from Sephora.

Orgasm is beautifully packaged (I am giggling like a teenaged boy every time I write the 'O' word), with a matte black rubber casing. Inside is a mirror which is super helpful for on the go.

The colour is the most beautiful peach/pink shade with tiny gold microglimmers. These translate as a gorgeous glow that is similar to the glow you get from having a... you get the gist haha. If you prefer matte blushes then this may not be the shade for you. However, if you like a glowy look then you absolutely need this.

One thing to be aware of is that this isn't super pigmented but it is buildable. Personally I like this because it means there is a very low risk of accidentally applying too much and looking like you have run a marathon, as opposed to having a sexy glow that your bed friend gave you this morning...

It feels soft to the touch and I haven't had any issues with blotchiness when applying this. It blends very easily and looks really natural - which is something I love about this. It isn't super obvious you are wearing a blush; rather it looks like you are withholding a dirty secret...

This tends to stay on my face all day without any need for touch ups - as this is my first high end blush, I was shocked when I saw my face glowing after a 10 hour day.

This is an expensive blush and, prior to using it, I wouldn't have forked out $50 for it. After using it... I would. It is such a flattering and beautiful shade.

If you have the spare cash I definitely recommend trying this. I can't think of any skin tones it wouldn't suit and it is extremely popular for a reason - because it is beautiful.

I recently had to say goodbye to my bronzer... it was a sad day.... they stopped making it. I then made the jump and ordered this (and Nars Laguna - it came in a duo pack) and oh... my .... god!

This is the blush when you wear everyone asks what you are wearing. They stop you and stare at your checks. I am not putting this in to be dramatic - its true!! It is worth every penny. Ok, yes it is more on the expensive side but it goes a long way and boom... you glow.

After wearing it, I was able to spot someone else wearing it at a bar on a work do last week and we both had a nars talk for ages. She too swears but it - obviously we became instant BFF's.

It is pinky peach and has a simmer through it put just enough to make your checks pop. I was shocked because I am pale and it is like it just blends into my skin, I mean it had no nasty orange hints or anything just perfect. I match it with the suggested duo to contour (I put the orgasm slightly higher to highlight and the Laguna to shape my checks so I look like I was born this way - hahaha) for night wear and feel like a kardashin (in a good check bones way.... maybe that was a bad comparison)

I also love its little black box (its matte) and mirror. There is nothing more frustrating when your blush or bronzer doesn't have a mirror. How else can you touch up your make up?

I have been wearing this for just over a week now and I find it is not only wearing well but looks brand new still - so I am hopeful that means it will go a looooonnnnggg way :)

This is the prettiest petal pink blush, I can see why it's a cult blush, it's earned it's name. Whenever I wear it I seem to glow with a pale pink flush. It's my go to blush for every day and for special occasions. I actually haven't found a blush that is as beautiful and I'm a blush lover. The only con is that it has a tiny bit of gold reflect which I don't love it's not so natural but Nars has counteracted that with orgasm x. But for some reason orgasm x just isn't as beautiful as orgasm. I get so many compliments like your glowing, you look amazing, I don't get that with other blushes so I think if you like to look a bit pink and flushed it lasts all day it doesn't wear off. This is the blush of all blushes

This is the first nars product that I've ever used. The blush in orgasm is such a talked about product in the beauty world and although it's a lot of money to spend on one product, I decided to give it a go.

nars has nice sleek black packaging. I guess it doesn't reflect how expensive this brand is but only because it reminds me of elf packaging and that is a super cheap Brand!

Upon opening, you get a nice big mirror and a beautiful looking blush. It's a rosy looking pink with a gorgeous gold shimmer throughout. This swatches out really beautifully on my Palm, although it's not immediately super pigmented. I do like that though, as it means you can build the color up rather then going from zero to clown in 2 seconds.

When applied to my cheeks, this product blends onto my skin so well and gives a nice golden highlight which means you don't need to apply a separate highlighter. The colour goes on as a perfect pinky coral, this is one of my favourite blush colours.The wear time is great, it lasts all day on my skin and outlasts the rest of my face makeup usually.

so why don't I really love This? Well unfortunately, the gold shimmer Is tiny little bits of glitter which seem to exaggerate my cheek pores and I also find the glitter falls onto other parts of my face. I really don't want glitter on my nose!

I am going to either sell or swap this blush, it is beautiful, just not the right fit for Me!

I've never been much of a blush fan and have always skipped this step of my make up routine, however when I was in Mecca one of the staff had it on and has similar coloring to mine so I thought I'd give it a go. I understand why the orgasm blush has such a cult following, it goes on beautifully and is easy to blend, the color is gentle but still gives that soft rosy glow that I was after. Even on my more toned down make up days I find this is just a fantastic way to finish off my face giving me a glowy flushed look - its also quite nice as a gentle eye shadow base too!

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.

I understand why people love this product but I just couldn't get on with it. I found that for my skin tone, the colour is just too bland and peachy and if I tried to build it up to get a greater depth of colour it would just add glitter and end up making me too too shiny and almost oily across my cheeks
