Nars Orgasm Blush

After having a lot of success with Deep Throat from Nars I thought it would be worth trying something different and giving Orgasm a go. It is a beautiful shade of peach and the gold highlights really give it that something extra. Unfortunately the first time I wore it I had the misfortune to find out that I am allergic to Orgasm. I had a pretty bad reaction (which I've had to some Nars eyeshadows before) and had to take it back and change for a different brand.

I did find a close alternative in Bare Minerals which is my go to brand, as I know I don't react to anything from their line. Still a bit sad though that Orgasm and I had to part ways.

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.

I was excited to get this because so many people rave about it, so i clearly had to have it. The color was beautiful! Was really happy with the color, but i expected it to be matte with a tiny bit of sparkle…. it really wasn't. Its way more sparkly than i thought. I would use it again but only if i was going out to a bar or something. Not really an everyday blush like i expected

On first impression i love the colour of this blush in the pan, the beautiful pinky peach shade with the gold flecks in is absolutely stunning! However i think for the price point of this blush the pigmentation and colour pay off could be alot better. It takes a few applications to build up a healthy glow and even then i dont find it lasts very long on my skin. Overall was a little disappointed with this blush.

This was a Christmas gift along with the Orgasm lipstick (which I love) and I had really high hopes. This blush has more than a cult following and I just don’t really understand why. It comes in the sleek black packaging that all their pressed powder products come in and is a lovely almost duo chrome colour in the pan. It applies easily is very pigmented and does last but I just don’t love the colour. I own at least a dozen different shades of blush and this is the only one that looks blotchy on me. It isn’t that it’s not blended it just looks like I have uneven redness (pinkness) on my skin. I have tried it with different foundation including a powder one and it just doesn’t suit me. The formula is great and I love another shade in this blush but won’t be purchasing this again as I have ones worth $10 that look much nicer on me.

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

This is one the most hyped up products but sadly (to probably a lot of disgust) it didn't live up to expectations. To be fair I think this is largely because I may have got a dud. It was from the sephora website by the pigmentation and colour pay-off was sub par, and not the same as my flat mates same version. Which was highly disappointing. The colour is beautiful and versatile so I'm sure a better version would live up to expectations. However, I also think there are great dupes. Such as sleek rose gold, the same but brighter and more pigmented

I've been wanting to try it for decades because it's supposed to suit all skin tone. When I finally tried it, unfortunately the colour doesn't look right on me. I'll stick to my trusty Benefit.
