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.
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.
Tips: A nice stippling brush or a blush brush will make applying this a breeze. Just remember to dust off excess to give your cheeks just the right amout of flush
