Review: NARS Orgasm

I owe my unhealthy obsession for make-up to NARS Orgasm. This is what got me hooked to make-up,YouTube beauty video's and blogs. Months of researching online to see if it was worth buying, I was catapulted in to the world of beauty and make-up. After weeks of deliberating I decided that it was time I got my hands on it. Hey, when half the world is raving about it, you know you got to have to at least give it a try. Haha!

Is it worth the hype?

The Good
NARS Orgasm Blush is described as a “peachy pink with shimmer.”  It's also said it be a universally flattering shade. This is a cult classic and one of NARS most iconic blushes!!!!!! Trust me when I say, NARS knows it. Orgasm has been replicated across their product range e.g. Orgasm lipgloss, nail polish, etc. The color itself is DIVINE! It's even prettier than the pictures and videos.

In the pan the colour looks a really bright, slightly orange and a little scary. When I got it, the colour scared me a little. I couldn't help wondering if this was the blush that everyone has been raving about. Once I tried it though it was a whole different story. It's the perfect peachy pink! This is the blush I reach for when I can't decide which blush to use, because it'll look good with any thing.

It looks really natural and gives the prettiest flush to your cheeks. People always ask me what I have on my cheeks, when I'm wearing Orgasm. The texture is sheer but it's noticeable on my pale skin. I like to build it up though for a pop of colour. It hardly ever looks over done. There have been times when I've applied it with a heavy hand and it still managed to look gorgeous without making me look like a make-up experiment gone wrong.


 I'm amazed how well this powder stays on and how easy is to work with it.It stays on for a whole day (okay, not whole day but pretty much up to 8 hours). The colour looks even more gorgeous on the sun.

The Bad

The price is a little ridiculous, but I guess this is given when you're buying a NARS product. You just can't whine about the price.There have been some who have said that it's not pigmented enough for dark skin or intense enough to give that 'wow factor'.

  

Final Thoughts

I love this blush! Even though it's a splurge it's worth it because this it's going to last you forever. A little goes a long way when it comes to Orgasm. On the NARS facebook page they've shown celebrities such as Beyonce and Kim Kardashian wearing it on their cheeks. If it can show up on them, it can show up on anyone. Girls with darker skin tones just have to tab a little extra on their cheeks for the colour to really show up! 

I love the NARS Packaging. It's classy and it protects the product. I've dropped the blush a few times and even though it looks slightly battered from the outside, the blush itself looks new as ever. 

Basically, I am one satisfied customer! :)


If you like coral, especially pinker ones, I don't think Orgasm will be adisappointment. It's popular for a reason!

Price: 27$

Tell me your thoughts on Orgasm, whether you’ve tried it or not. Is it worth the hype, or just too much hype? Are you dying to try it out? Let me know!
