I was in Wellington in my dream shop and when I seen the Nars stand I gaspt! Straight onto BR to read about this blush called orgasm. I was comparing to another big ticket blush.
Then a quick message to Kirstyj and I was told to buy it immediately. Who am I to argue! I did think it was pretty expensive for the size and the packaging isn't sexy at all. It's just plain.
The magic is inside. Open it up and this peachy sparkly looking pressed powder is looking back. You only need 1 or 2 swished of the brush to pick up enough product. I swirl on my cheek and go up on the angle to my outer brow.
For me this is the perfect pigmentation even when my face has gone up in tan shades! It's not glittery like it looks in the compact. It's perfect if you don't want to wear a highlighter as well.
Wearing this makes me Oooh and aaah Everytime. So the name is perfect!
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.
Tips: Apply lightly and work the colour up to get the level of depth you require.
