Nars Orgasm Blush

This is my one and only NARS product and I love it!! It took me so long to bring myself round to spending so much money on one product but it's something I definitely do not regret! It gives off the prettiest glitter highlights and is a gorgeous pink tone! I use it on a day to day basis with a light hand for a soft pink cheek, or for special occasions or at night I use this more heavily. Its a great product! A must have for those who love peachy/pink blushes

This blush is a must have in a collection for those serious makeup lovers. It gives off a gorgeous rosy pink colour with a little bit of shimmer, and I think is a perfect blush colour to wear all year round.

I always recommend wearing blush (and bronzer) to my friends that wear foundation so their faces don't look flat. And for those that don't want a whole drawer of different blushes like I have, this is the one and only blush you will ever need. I have not seen a single skintone that doesn't suit this blush. It's natural, it goes on perfectly and the blush lasts forever. This blush is definitely worth all the hype it gets online, and worth the money. Every cent.

I did loads of research before I purchase NARS Orgasm and a lot of people says they dislike the big chunk of glitter so I kind of hesitated cause NARS is expensive and this is my first time using NARS products. I bought the NARS Orgasm & Laguna duo from Sephora and when I received it I was very impressed with the shade and the packaging. It's simple and pretty. I have been using NARS Orgasm every day since I bought it (been more than 2 month now) and I love it! This blush stays on for more than 8 hours without having to touch up during the day, I have oily face and it doesn't give me oily cheeks. The shade is gorgeous and it doesn't have big chunks of glitter like people says it does. A little goes a long way and overall very happy with Orgasm.

I was beyond excited to be chosen for this Trial team.. For years I have been lusting after this beautiful blush!

First of the packaging is gorgeous in itself.. Sleek black compact that opens easily and closes securely shut (there is nothing worse than compacts that are loose and don't really close!)

Gorgeous decent sized mirror.. I have this thing for using mirrors of blush compacts when I apply my mascara so I can get a good underneath view.. So this mirror scores highly!

The blush itself is gorgeous.. I genuinely believe this would suit almost all skin tones. I am quite fair and when I first opened it I worried that it might appear quite orangey on me but boy was I wrong.. This came out the most gorgeous peach/champagne... slightly bronze and was VERY complimentary to my skin tone. This blush is beautiful to apply.. No nasty cakey-ness, easily blendable and easily buildable.. And my fave part of this blush, the subtle complexion enhancing shimmer (not glitter!) that gives you the most RADIANT glow.. And if you know anything about me from my Reviews its that I love glow!

This gorgeous blush is totally worth the hype and I am oh so in love <3

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 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.

I had heard the rave reviews but the swatches and pictures online just don't do this blush justice. For me, the main reason this looks so amazing is because of the finely milled gold shimmer. The colour shows up peachy pink one way, but when it catches the light, the gold really shines through to the point where it looks like those duo tone nailpolishes. I absolutely love it. The blush itself did have a bit of a hard crust at the top when I first got it, but I read reviews where other people had the same issue. You just have to lightly buff that first layer off to get to the proper blush. There are many dupes these days though and I love the balm's hot mama even more than orgasm. But this is the blush that started it all, and I can see why.

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 :)
