So the other week I finally took the plunge and bought myself two Nars Blushers :)
I've always wanted Nars Orgasm but I never thought I could justify spending £19 on a blusher, even though I've spent that much on a lipgloss before :s
I saw that Nars had a new blusher called sex appeal coming out and it was described as a light matte peach, and since I have very fair skin it sounded like a match for my skin :) And I had to have it.
However being me I can't just buy one of anything when purchasing something over the internet, I always think I should get whatever I want in the same purchase as I hate spending on postage.
That meant I got the blusher I'd always wanted, Orgasm :)
Orgasm is meant to achieve a fresh, flushed look, natural look, like after partaking in a little umm hanky panky, hehe.
I find that a lot of blushers look unnatural but orgasm is great it just makes me look healthy :)
Nars Sex Appeal and Nars Orgasm Swatches with Flash.
As you can see from the Swatches above Sex Appeal is a lovely, slightly pastel'ish peachy colour, but it doesn't appear chalky on me, which I feared it would when looking at it in its pan.
It's great for contouring.
I have heard that it doesn't show up on darker skin tones, but my skin is so fair that it does actually show up and gives me a nice peachy pink colour, which looks completely natural and fresh.
Orgasm to me looked pretty damn scary when I saw it in the pan, it reminded me of Mac's Dollymix, except more peachy and less cool than dollymix, but I think it was the shimmer maybe that made me think of it.
However when I applied Orgasm to my cheeks it made me look healthy, I do apply lightly though as I found out that if I applied it a bit heavy handed I looked like a Victorian doll.
I do love Orgasm, it's everything I thought it would be.
Both blushers are finely milled, and have a great light texture. In my opinion Nars blushers are way better than Mac (sorry Mac) and I shall be back for more.
Hello sweety!
ReplyDeleteI think Nars blushers are awesome but you are right, quite expensive!
I love Orgasm blusher, I use it very much! I had never seen Sex Appeal before and I am afraid I am in love with it now!
Lots of love,
Catanya
Hi Christina! I love Sex Appeal in the pan. I bet it does look amazing on your skin. I wanted to buy it during the Sephora F&F sale but it was much too light on me and wouldn'r have showed up. I'm happy it works for you!
