NARS Orgasm

I just got my new NARS Orgasm in the mail (For you non make-up savvy people, Orgasm is the name of a blush made by NARS). I was expecting big things because this blush is more over exposed than Britney Spears. Sephora and every magazine out there rates it the best blush in the world, and for a price tag of 25 bucks, it better be!

I got mine off of ebay for a bit cheaper. When it came in, I wanted to use it right away, but I decided to clean my brushes first instead. (It's always a good idea to clean your makeup brushes regularly to make sure bacteria is cleaned off, especially if you're switching products, so there's no cross contamination). I went to clean my blush brush (from Estee Lauder) and long fiasco short, I ended up ruining it because I rubbed it too vigorously against a paper towel. I used my powder brush to apply it instead, and it was nice, but I feel like I can't give it a fare shake without using proper brushes. I bought a smashbox blush brush off of ebay, and I'm waiting for that to come in.

It's a really pretty peachy pink color with a gold shimmer. It might be a bit too shimmery for some peoples tastes, especially if you usually go really lite on makeup. It does give a very natural look though when applied just to the apples of your cheeks. You can build it up, though, for a more dramatic appeal. For people who don't love the shimmer, NARS Deep Throat blush is a good alternative.

I love this blush - don't get me wrong - but would people stop obsessing over it! There are other blushes out there people!

If 25 dollars is going to break the bank, there are defiantly some other choices of high quality blush for cheaper - I'll do a post on that later.

What do you all think? Anyone have NARS orgasm? Love it? Hate it?
