Nars Orgasm Blush

I can't believe I have not already written a review on the much talked about NARS Orgasm Blush, as I have reached for it almost everyday for over a year now. This is my all time favourite blush, one of my top 5 makeup items, and I will 100% repurchase this when it eventually runs out.

NARS Orgasm is beautiful. It is contained within sturdy, black packaging with a mirror. Inside is a luxurious, glowing pink shade with speckles of shimmering gold. I have fair-medium skin, depending on how fake tanned I am, and this shade is perfection. It provides a natural pink flush to the cheeks and a gorgeous glow. This product is a blush and basic highlight in one, and somehow seems to hit the cheekbones perfectly every time. This product is easy to blend, and difficult to mess up. The end result is a stunning, glowing flush that compliments the most basic makeup, as well as a full faced look.

NARS Orgasm lasts all day, although I would top it up for an extra boost come the evening. I also own ZA Glowing Pink, which is a more affordable option. It is very similar, but NARS Orgasm has that extra wow factor and lasts longer on the skin.

NARS Orgasm is particularly perfect for beginners, those in a rush, or anyone who is unsure about what blush tone will suit them. I believe it is an essential for every one, and I will continue to use this on an almost daily basis. The only time I reach for a different blush is if I want a matte blush, or if I would prefer to use a separate highlighter and don't want to go overboard.

I am yet to meet someone that wouldn't look good in this blush. Its the right balance of peach and pink to suit almost anyone.

This blush is a dream to work with, it doesn't kick up a lot of dust and gives a nice healthy glow to the face and can even be layered over a matte blush for a new look again.

Still looks good on the skin 8 hours later.

I used to despise blush because it made my already rosy cheeks even more prominent - but this is the BEST! Subtle colour, works on my skin when I'm both pale and decked out in fake tan - cannot fault it!

I love Nars! And I love this blush!

It’s the perfect pinky peach and you can build up the colour to have a soft flush or intense colour. I love it all year round but find myself wearing it the most in spring. Pair it with warm brown eyeshadow and a coral lip!

It does have some shimmer in it so will show skin texture but skin has texture so don’t worry about it and wear it anyway!

I purchased this blush around 6 months ago after lusting over it for years. It's a pretty & vibrant coral/peachy pink colour with tiny gold flecks throughout. It really is a lovely colour but I much prefer lighter "pink" blushes rather than coral.

I still find myself using this on a regular basis though as the gold flecks are just beautiful. I love the glow that it gives to my cheeks and it really just brightens up my whole face.

I will not repurchase as I've found an exact dupe for only $4! Jordana blush in Coral Sandy Beach.

That comment was made by a guy at work & as such sealed the fate of Orgasm blush for me. LOVE IT. I was incredibly lucky to be picked to review Orgasm. As this is my first trial ever, I'm quite trepidatious about reviewing such an iconic item, but let's give it a whirl.

Packaging: I'm a fan of the rubberised black casing - it looks sleek. The only down side that I've found with my Nars eyeshadows is that it picks up & shows everything if you've put it in your makeup bag. Texture: It's buttery, it's really easy to apply, I didn't find it chalky in the least. I did feel however that the gold sheen emphasised my pore size on the apples of my cheeks so I did blend it out quite a lot on the first day. For the rest of the week I used a primer under my BB cream and that seemed to make a difference. No more emphasised moon craters. Color: I love the colour, a gorgeous peachy pink with a gold sheen. I'm pretty sure that it would suit most if not all people. I found that you're able to apply a sheer layer or build it for intensity. It lasted about 7 hours on me before I noticed fading.

One thing I noted on the packaging - the first ingredient is Talc, so if you're allergic, this product is probably not going to be for you & it'd be a shame to have spent the money on something you can't use.

Repurchase?: The big question. Yes, I'll be visiting my local Mecca and be grabbing one of these once I finish it. When a guy asks you why you're glowing, I figure that's a good thing.

Thanks so much BR for the opportunity to review!!!

For those people that haven't tried or seen this product in real life - I can assure you it is hyped up for a jolly good reason! I think it's even more perfect than I imagined. I sort of thought prior to reviewing it that it's ONLY a blush therefore It surely couldn't be worth $50. Well I was wrong.

Lets start on packaging, matte black, perfect size, sleek, professional, modern. I am in love with the packaging! People compare it to elf's packaging but I don't agree! NARS is much nicer than elf's and much more luxurious!

The product itself is literally everything I ever imagined. Again, it has been compared to a number of cheaper dupes, including an elf blush, and again, they 'aint got nothin' on NARS Orgasm! It's just the perfect blush colour, a coraly red with gold shimmer. The shimmer is so subtle and it doesn't show up like a party on your face. This is something I love because it makes it more appropriate for everyday wear in my opinion.

The blush is super pigmented but when applying it doesn't look too bold on the cheeks either. It's not too subtle but not too bold. It just comes through perfectly. I own a LOT of blushes and this product ticks every box. I have definitely not used a blush as perfect as this before.

As for staying power, it stays on for an entire school teacher day - which is saying a lot because we are busy people! I've tried it on top of various foundations and it sits beautifully on each one! It is also super blend-able and looks so natural on the skin.

Overall, I would absolutely say this product IS worth the money. If this was a tester I was trialing then I'd go out and buy the real thing. It's the most perfect blush I've ever used and compared to all the dupes and other blushes I used - I can see a huge jump in quality. Usually, I have a downside to point out for each product because I like to keep my reviews 2 sided, however I cannot say a bad thing about it! Perhaps it would be better if it was bigger for the price? I don't know if it's made with unicorn tears or what but despite the fact it's worth every cent $50 is a LOT of money for a blush and perhaps that puts people off purchasing (like I was). That being said, it's definitely not small, but it's not huge either.

I'm still waiting for my orgasm?

I was lucky enough to be chosen to be on the BR trail team for this product, and couldn’t contain my excitement when it arrived. One of the reasons why I wanted to try Orgasm was to see if the ‘so-called’ universal peachy pink tones would be flattering and natural on my neutral to cool toned, super-fair complexion. As a general rule, products marketed as being ‘universal’ don’t really apply to me as I am on one of the extremities, but I am delighted to report that Orgasm was completely compatible with my NW10 skin. Couple this with the sleek, modern packaging and the excitement of testing one of the industry icons, we were off to a good start.

Let’s start with the colour. It’s hard to be original with a description so I will keep things simple; Orgasm is a warm, peachy pink jazzed up by an abundance of gold shimmer. The gold within it creates this glorious transition between the pink and peachy tones in the product. Orgasm makes you look very healthy and glowing- kind of like you are radiating warmth and energy. The shimmers give it multidimensionality and mean that the product seems to be dynamic on the face- Orgasm continually changes and catches the light. Top marks for that.

The pigmentation and color payoff of this product lies very much in the optimum zone for blush products in the sense that it’s not dry, chalky or frustrating to build up colour, nor is it so intense that it’s hard to control. No issues with application or bendability- I find that the secret is a light hand at first, a quality angled blush brush and a smile.

For those interested in the packaging- the black rubberized compact is nicely streamlined and certainly feels sturdy to the touch. It contains a mirror which is decently sized, and the compact as a whole fits conveniently in the palm of the hand. The matte rubbery texture does attract finger marks etc. but you can’t have everything and in truth, the goodness inside is what matters more.

I think that there is room for improvement with the wear time of this product. If applied at 7.30 am the pigments start to fade on my skin by early afternoon, but what I love is that the glow remains, instead of the product disappearing altogether. All good things come to and end, but I wish that it lasted a little longer before needing to re-apply.

Nars’ Orgasm reigns supreme over the blush market and definitely deserves its iconic status. It’s easy to see why- it will provide you with a healthy, radiant glow at any time and any place.

A loveable, luxurious and luscious blush that can bring a beauty boost to any woman that wears it. Do yourself a favour and go and try some on, and if (when) you fall in love, invest and enjoy.

*Nars Blush in Orgasm gets the –Nina- tick of approval*

I have to confess, this is the first product from NARS that i've used, and I was really intrigued when it was described as a Beauty Icon.

On first glances the packaging is gorgeous. It comes in a matt black compact which looks very sleek and professional. The clasp was bit fiddly to open I thought, kind of like some of those loo's in upmarket restaurants in Auckland which are so disguised you can't even figure out where they are!

Anyhoo, open it I did. The colour block is very generous and at also has a nice size mirror which can be a downfall of many cosmetic products.

I'm not sure what colour I was expecting but when I opened it suddenly the name of it made sense. It is a gorgeous subtle but rich (can it be both??) pinky peach colour, no doubt the exact colour your checks could go at the moment of.....ahem..

The colour on your cheeks is really subtle and natural I just love it. I'm not a big blush collector only having a couple in my collection, but this one will be my go to from here on in, and I will be for sure checking out other NARS products.

This is my first ever NARS blusher and ok I brought it 1) for the great reviews 2) as I love me a good peachy coral blush and 3) I love the name!!!!!!!

The packaging of the blusher is exactly the same as any NARS powder type product, it has a square slim black casing that is slightly tactile to the touch that opens up to reveal a small mirror on the inside of the lid and a blaze of pressed powder on the bottom half.

Colour of orgasm is intense it is incredibly pigmented and should come with a warning label as I went in with a big old blush brush, swirled it up and spotted it onto my cheeks to be faced with big peachy orange glowing marks that were far to bright and obvious for my skin tone, and no matter how hard I blended it out I had to remove and start again. It does blend well don't get me wrong as on the second application where I went on more lightly and built up the colour slowly it melted as I blended it into the contour and highlighter on my face giving a nice flawless cover that brighten my face up immensely. The peachy orange blush has a flourish of gold shimmer built in that becomes more prominent as you swirl your brush and blend, its a pretty effect that reflects the light and not only gives you a healthy look but a brighter more youthful look.

Like I said I love this blusher and see myself reaching for it at least 2-3 times a week. I have also used this as a crease transition colour on my eyelids and that golden shimmer it emits makes my eyes pop! it is truly a gifted blush
