My obsession to ORGASM led me to have sleepless nights.
It was not exactly love at first sight. I've had my first share of ORGASM a couple of years back and boy, I wasn't that ecstatic about it as I should have. Then, I lost it. And now, years after, I managed to give it another shot and OH MY GOD!!! I LOVED IT!!! Wait, before anything else,I am talking about the NARS ORGASM blush, okay? So anyway, I decided to purchase one from Rustan's Alabang Town Center .(Might I add, the SA there was not intimidating like those of MAC in Glorietta)

NARS have been keen in describing it as the peachy pink shade with a golden shimmer. They say that this precious baby is best paired with the NARS orgasm lipgloss or the dolce vita lippies.
My Thoughts:
What I love about NARS Orgasm:
- It gives that wonderful flush that screams the natural filipina beauty
- It is highly pigmented with that corally shade and pink undertone
- It lasts approximately 4-6 hours without retouching on oily skin (like mine)
- With the right kind of blush brush it gives an almost natural feel on skin
- It doesn't cause break outs on my skin and my skin looks refreshed (friends say that there's a certain glow that amplifies my skin)
- The packaging is quite sturdy and comes with a mini mirror
But of course, NARS isn't that perfect indeed. Despite the fact that it is expensive (retails Php1,450.00 at local Rustan's stores), the product is too shimmery, but I guess that's a good advantage when you're up to pictorials or the like. The shimmers act as a reflector that makes your skin look flawless when the camera flashes. The shade though is not UNIQUE. I think the shade without that shimmery stuff is easy to dupe. For morenas like me, the blush needs to be reapplied a couple of times before appreciating its tone, being careful with the application as it might look too fake/ too loud for that matter.
I used the product for 3 consecutive days at work. I noticed that there are traces of my thumb marks at the packaging. Probably because of the rubberized feel of the case. On the other hand, my colleagues keeps on telling me how glowing my skin was. In lieu of my line of work in the hospital, I always use a face mask, and it presented itself as a problem, the product might not last quite long because all those colors will just be transferred to the mask. But, to my big surprise, there was a minimal transfer of pigments. The shimmer though was almost invisible, most of it were transferred to the mask i was wearing. It was actually a good thing. The peach pink color was better pronounced and natural looking. To top it all up, it lasted me 4 hours. That's a big leap from other makeup brands I use.
To sum it all up, I think that NARS ORGASM might be expensive but it provides a great color pay-off. The blush shade itself is very wearable for everyday use, giving its user a bright happy aura. There is a little WOW factor from this blush. I'm not implying that its ugly but the color seems to be the same as other peach-toned NARS blushes. But if you'll ask me, I will DEFINITELY repurchase when my ORGASM hits the pan. (as if i'll be able to finish it before it expires). Next time, I'll get that NARS SUPER ORGASM their talking about.
