Nars orgasm blush - opinions?

[dazzlingdeborahrose]

I'm tempted to buy this as it gets rave reviews but when I see it, it looks really bright and sparkly. Anybody use it on here? Will I look like a sparkly aunt Sally if I use it? Any alternative suggestions? Thanks.

I really like the revlon pots of cream blusher. They blend in well and come in very wearable colours. and quite cheap

I believe one of the Sleek blushers, Rose Gold I think, is a dupe so it might be worth getting some of that as a trail first

I like it.

Love it, it's not super sparkly on, and nothing is more fun than walking into Space NK and declaring "I need an orgasm"!!

Thanks everyone. I might pop in and ask to try it on. Once I've had a walk around and looked at it in the natural light that will help the decision making.

Try Bourjois rose d'or, it's a lovely bright pink with golden flecks.

I've used both the nars one and the sleek rose gold dupe and they're both lovely on my pale skin.

go and try it though i prefer a deep throat

It was too pink and sparkly for my olivey skin tone. Suits my blonde/blue eyed friends though. The comparatively boringly named NARS Porto Fino suits me perfectly though.

Dior Rosy Glow is a great blusher and no scary sparkly bits. It is alarmingly Barbie pink in the palette but gives a stunning colour in reality. It gives me that "healthy, outdoorsy bracing walk" glow.

Thanks everyone. Il take a look at all of those suggestions. Especially some of the dupes. Don't believe in spending money if I don't have to

It's that just been out for a brisk walk in the fresh air look that I'm after so will definitely look at rosy glow too.

southeast you naughty thing

I love it, but I prefer the multiple to the powder blush, in my own personal opinion, you won't find a good alternative to it, I compared both mac spirngsheen < very close dupe> to orgasm, and orgasm pigment is much more natural, if applied right,it gives this glowy pinkish ,barely there hint of a blush.

santamaria - you know how you say 'if applied right?' How do you apply it? I succumbed to the hype and got it but look like I've got 'doll's' cheeks. Way too pink. I have quite pale skin with yellow undertones. I've read so many rave reviews and rarely use it.

The Sleek one is nice but it does have a bit too much gold for me. Though if I apply then buff with a cotton pad it calmed the Midas Touch.

horribly sparkly

I've got it. It's too sparkly for daytime (I'm a pale and freckly brunette) but good for night. Apply sparingly with a large brush high on cheekbones (not apples unless you favour the 'Aunt' Sali Hughes look) and rein in any other glittery products, eg eye shadow.

melt do you have the cream multiple? I just dab a bit on and blend it using my fingers, no brush or anything, a nars makeup artist showed me how to apply a tiny bit a cross my cheeks and not straight on my cheekbones and just blend outwards, its supposed to be a natural flushed colour not proper blush,

Another great nars blush and a matte one is Anguilla multiple, very subtle pinky blush, I use it as a blush and lip colour,

I don't like it - too sparkly. The Boots Natural Collection one for about £1.99 is good as it is nice and pink but no sparkles, or the little Max Factor creme pot. But Benetint is better than all of them, imvho.

I sold mine on eBay. It was too bright and too sparkly. I am very pale and it looked far too pink. If you are anything other than the palest shade in foundation it may be ok but if you are very pale- no. I also bought Deep Throat and that was the same but worse because it was pinkier- but not so sparkly.

As a by the way- I use Bobbi Brown Nude Peach and think the other is Pale or Fresh Peach- both matte, no glitter and quite pale. Nude Peach is pinkier than Fresh Peach which has a more 'orange' tone.

Used it about 10 years ago and it was far too bright and sparkly.
Like most other colour cosmetics it's going to depend entirely on your own colouring and skin chemistry as to whether it will work or not.

santa, it's the powder one. Didn't realise there was a cream formula.

Ooh now. I'd forgotten all about benetint. Think I have a little bottle of that knocking about somewhere. Might have to dig it out.
