Let's look at NARS POWDER BLUSH IN ORGASM.
This blush color is an award- winning shade from Nars' collection and is quoted as one of the best blushes ever created.
I got mine from a pabili from a friend in the USA
THE VERDICT:
Let's start with the case. The blush looks really expensive and classy because of the rubberized packaging. Although it looks very nice, I hate how it gets dirty easily. I just put it in my make- up kit this morning and when I'm about to retouch, I see powder spills and scratches on the rubber casing, which makes it look very used, though I just got this yesterday. What's worse, it's really hard to take the stains off of the case. I hate it but seems like the scratches will be there forever.
The compact has a mirror, which makes it convenient, but I just hope they include a brush. As you can see, the color is a peach- pink shade with hints of gold shimmer.
Here's a swatch. This blush is absolutely pigmented and I love the shimmer that it gives to my cheeks. The shimmer is not overpowering and it gives your cheeks a summer glow. Layer it for maximum color pay- off and 1- 2 swipes is enough to give you a pink- peach- bronze glow. I'm an NC42 and it really looks fab on morenas because it enhances a tan skin (ala sun goddess :D). I also think that this will be a pretty peach choice of blush for fair skinned ladies, which will give their cheeks a summer glow.
Will I buy this again? It's a yes and a no. Yes, if I have the budget and No, because I really love pink blushes. I might buy another Nars blush, but I'll try their pink shades.
I see why people rave about this product so much because without a doubt, it's really a lovely color. It's versatility in giving fair and dark skin tones a lovely flush makes this a winner. There are some peach blushes that look orange on fair skin tones and look terracotta and sheer on dark skin tones. So I must say, it's really worth owning an Orgasm.

you can try cleaning the casing with a mild makeup remover.. that's how i do mine..
ReplyDeletewhatever you do, don't use alcohol.. i cant remember why, but the ladies on specktra.net strongly advised the readers not to use alcohol.. :D
yea, i love my orgasm too! :D
makeupjunkie: thanks for the advise! i hate how it looks "luma" already. the rubber casing is prone to dirt. but i'm loving this so far. it's a lovely product. :)
ReplyDeletei love Orgasm! that's what my MUA used on my weddding day! but true, its expensive! I only have its dupe - L'oreal Front page peach..
ReplyDeleteHey I came across this Maybelline new compact called whitestay UV http://bit.ly/H66Ge ... its a first time that a compact has come up with SPF 18... I really liked this compact and i think it’s gonna be useful especially in this monsoons because tanning does take place even in this season and using sunscreen would make skin greasy in this weather so I think using compact would be a great alternative... wats your opinion on this?
ReplyDeletekhymm: actually, meron yang dupe by fanny serrano. silky coral ata yun. basta, i'm uber loving this color right now! :D
ReplyDeletei got mine for 1300php sa states pinabili ko. 1350php pala dito sa rustan's 50php difference lang. :) pero i dunno, they might have hiked their prices. last time i checked bobbi brown's blush, 1200php, tapos pag- purchase ko 1300php na!
pradnya: hi! thanks for asking./ actually, i haven't tried it yet but i already saw the product. i only tried their clear smooth face powder. i'll try getting my hands on this one or uploading various reviews of the product. thanks! :)
actually, it's really an option to use sunscreen because a lot of uv rays are filtering our atmosphere because good ol' ozone layer can't filter everything anymore so even though the skies are gloomy, it's not an assurance that we don't encounter harmful rays during the day so yeah, it's advisable to wear spf everyday. :)
Hi! Whats better, Nars Orgasm or Sleek in Rose Gold? Or both? Thanks! Ive been starting to buy makeups (with my husband cum bestfriend) and i decided to follow your reviews since you are the closest to my skin color and face shape. :)
ReplyDeleteNars Orgasm has been around forever, but I've only just seriously started to consider getting myself one this month. It's no cheapo blush, so I've gone on several trials at the makeup counter and plenty of online research to help me make up my mind. So far so good, and the SA says it flatters me. I was convinced until...
ReplyDeleteNars Deep Throat. At first the SA said it would not register on my skin as well as Orgasm. The next time I came back, I asked to try Orgasm on one side and Deep Throat on the other. Surprise, surprise. I'm apparently more of a DT girl. Haha. Unanimous vote pa among 2 SAs, myself, and the boyfriend.
Guess it's still not time to experience Orgasm. Hahaha. --Matromao
