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
This is the first nars product that I've ever used. The blush in orgasm is such a talked about product in the beauty world and although it's a lot of money to spend on one product, I decided to give it a go.
nars has nice sleek black packaging. I guess it doesn't reflect how expensive this brand is but only because it reminds me of elf packaging and that is a super cheap Brand!
Upon opening, you get a nice big mirror and a beautiful looking blush. It's a rosy looking pink with a gorgeous gold shimmer throughout. This swatches out really beautifully on my Palm, although it's not immediately super pigmented. I do like that though, as it means you can build the color up rather then going from zero to clown in 2 seconds.
When applied to my cheeks, this product blends onto my skin so well and gives a nice golden highlight which means you don't need to apply a separate highlighter. The colour goes on as a perfect pinky coral, this is one of my favourite blush colours.The wear time is great, it lasts all day on my skin and outlasts the rest of my face makeup usually.
so why don't I really love This? Well unfortunately, the gold shimmer Is tiny little bits of glitter which seem to exaggerate my cheek pores and I also find the glitter falls onto other parts of my face. I really don't want glitter on my nose!
I am going to either sell or swap this blush, it is beautiful, just not the right fit for Me!
