So…#whatmakesyoublush?
For me? Spicy food, walking around on a cold day, and a little swirl of this Limited Edition Value-Sized NARS Orgasm Blush ($39, 0.28-oz).
I can’t open a magazine without seeing pictures of this iconic pinky peach blush in a shoot or reading an inspiring woman casually mention that it’s one of her go-to’s. I think it has to be one of the most famous blushes in the world.
And now it’s SUPERSIZED. This limited edition $39 value size has the same amount of product as a full-sized 0.28-oz. NARS Bronzer (compared to a regular 0.16-oz. $30 NARS Blush, which is about 40% smaller).
Why Orgasm? Because it’s a chameleon…
NARS Orgasm is sort of like a chameleon, and if you don’t already have one (or more) pans in your collection, it’s a classic. It can be subtle or dramatic; warm or cool. I’ve tried Orgasm dupes in the past, but most of them run peachier/pinker/darker/more metallic, and none of them hit the mark like NARS Orgasm does (hmm…).
Sometimes I feel like a product can become so popular that it doesn’t feel special anymore, but this XL size feels fresh again. I think it’ll serve me well for, I dunno…the rest of my life.
Someone please remind me of this when I have another blush in my cart! 🙂
Do you already have NARS Orgasm Blush? (Or if you have more than one pan, how many do you have?)
See you in the next!

Such a pretty color! It looks so good on you by the way! Also, what foundation are you wearing? Your skin looks flawless!
Thanks Rebecca! I am using the Shiseido Synchro Skin Foundation 🙂
I love this blush! It really is quite the chameleon. I have super light skin (porcelain) and Orgasm looks great on it. My best friend, who has much darker African-American skin, borrowed it in a pinch one day and it looked great on her, too.
This sounds crazy, but I’ve never actually tried Orgasm blush! I just got a little sample in my last Nordstrom order to try though.
It’s one of my favorite blushes. I swear by this one and Rimmel in Autumn Catwalk. I have worn Orgasm for many years, I think 10 years now. I read about it in Allure magazine because it had won the Beauty Award for 5 years in a row and was a cult favorite. It was one of my first designer makeup buys at Sephora. Near and dear to my heart! I always have it in my makeup drawer in one form or another – either the powder blush or the Multiple. The Multiple is great because you can use it for eyes, lips and cheeks.
I love Nars multiples as well! They give an intensity that the powders don’t. Also so glad you have been loving Orgasm for all these years! I’m a new fan but can see why ^_~

I only have a pan of Orgasm blush and it’s a mini I got as a GWP. Not sure I need another one, as I have never finished a blush in my entire life. My favorite NARS blush is Douceur which has sadly been discontinued.
Oh no! Have you tried Nars Madly? It’s a soft type of subtle pink as well.
Such a pretty on, huh? I gave mine away to my mon last summer and last month I finally got one for myself again 🙂

I have one pan, but I might consider getting another, because I feel like the payoff isn’t as good as it used to be. It is more than six years old, so it could have gone off.
