Nars Orgasm Blush

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 one raved about product that is totally worth the hype. Such a gorgeous colour, it does have shimmer/glitter in it though so if you don't like that sort of finish then probably don't go for this one. I love it though and it sort of acts as a subtle highlight.

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

I recently purchased this at Sephora in the USA and I love it! It has to be the best blusher I have ever used - believe all the hype! I have fair/medium skin tone and it is the perfect pink, with hints of gold. The pigment is perfect, and can be dusted on lightly for a hint of colour, or layed for a more dramatic look. Invest!

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.

Ahhhh this blush is amazing and is a staple in my kit! I have loved it for years! It so smooth and the pigmentation is amazing I highly recommend it! The colour is a coral pink with a slight shimmer running through it! You guys need this in your life! Such a great everyday blush!

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

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 recently did bit of a splurge! I love this shade. It's such a gorgeous colour on, it's not too pigmented which means it's easily built up, so you can have as much or as little as you'd like!
