Review: “Orgasm” blush by NARS ♥

"Orgasm" blush by NARS, $27

Hey Everyone!

Today I’m going to do a review on a cult favourite makeup product, “Orgams” blush by NARS. You either really love this or you think it’s just “meh”. Personally I LOVE this blush and feel it’s definitely a staple in every makeup junkie’s collection. The blush is $27 plus tax (tax amount depends on where you live) and can be purchased at Sephora.

It’s a pink blush, with peachy undertones and has gold shimmers in it. It is a beautiful blush and looks great on every skin tone. When directly looking at it you can see the gold flecks of glitter but it is very finely milled so when applied the gold glitter doesn’t actually show up as prominent chunky glitter on the face.

One down side of this blush would be that it may not show up as well on darker skin tones. It works best as a blush on fairer skin but it will make a great highlight or shimmer powder on darker skin tones.

The lasting power of this blush is REALLY long, you barley have to re-apply it. On an average day, it lasts about 5 hours effortlessly and by the end of a long day you still have a soft glow remaining on your cheeks.

Colour wise personally I would say it’s not that pigmented, it gives off a pretty sheer colour payoff. But it is pigmented in the sense that just a swipe of this blush will get you a nice healthy glow on your cheeks. When it is swatched on a finger it may not look like the best blush but when applied to the face it looks like a nice natural flush of colour.

It is perfect for everyday wear and because you don’t need a lot the product wont run out soon (size: 0.16 oz). It is totally buildable, and can be taken from day to night depending on how heavy your hand is when applying it.

Like all NARS blushes, “Orgasm” blush has a really nice consistency. It is very easy to apply and blend. It gives your face a nice smooth feeling and look similar to the texture MAC studio finish powder gives your face.

The packaging is classic “NARS” packaging. The blush has a rubberish feel, it is a compact blush and it probably will fit into any makeup bag. The blush has a pretty big mirror that covers the whole inside part of the lid and comes with a plastic sheet on the inside that says “NARS” to protect the blush. Although the packaging is very sleek, the rubbery casing on it gets dirty really fast and picks up finger prints really easily. It can easily be cleaned however it is a little frustrating to have to frequently wipe off all the glitter and finger prints on it.

"Super Orgasm" blush by NARS, $27

Similar to “Orgasm” blush, NARS’ “Super Orgasm” is also a shimmery peachy pink blush with golden flecks of glitter. “Super Orgasm” has more colour pigmentation and has a larger size of gold glitters, making the gold a little bit more noticeable. “Orgasm” is more wearable but “Super Orgasm” has that extra oomph.

“Orgasm” blush is NARS’ top selling blush and is known to be the most famous and most universal bush. It is a great colour to add to the collection and is defiantly a makeup staple.

always remember to stay fabulous
