Today I'll be reviewing NARS Blush in Orgasm
Availability: This retails at $30 for .16 oz (4.8g) and is available at sephora.com, jcpenny.com, bluemercury.com, macys.com, nordstrom.com, bloomingdales.com, narscosmetics.com, along with their respective store/boutique locations.
Would I buy this again?: Yes.
Notes: Orgasm is quite the famous, quintessential blush and one I've kept meaning to buy but haven't because though I had similar colors already, I was pleasantly surprised by this and receive a ton of compliments each time I wear it. The color is described as a peachy pink with shimmer. I'd describe it as a heavily pinky coral with a golden pearl. What's interesting to me is that it swatches this meh shade of orange-y coral on my hand and doesn't seem pigmented at all but is a GORGEOUS golden pink on my cheeks and is well-pigmented. I think I may have put off buying it for so long because I don't love how it swatches one bit. The texture feels relatively silky but isn't very soft compared to other powder blush I have. Again, applying it with a brush onto my face has a completely different result than touching it with my finger. Now with the packaging, I love the sexy sleek design of NARS makeup. I also hate that the velveteen/suede-ish texture is an utter dirt/stain magnet. It drives my OCD off the walls. :x The mirror is pretty decently sized if you're in a pinch and need a mirror.
Please let me know if you have questions or comments.
