Review for: Hot Sand, Orgasm more...

Hot Sand claims to be a highlighting blush, but on me it is just a straight up highlighter. I love using it as highlight. It blends so well into my skin. It gives the perfect glow to the cheeks and you can build up the intensity as well. I have been into the blinding highlights lately and I love that I can build this up to be blinding. But I also love that this can give me that subtle glow as well when i want it. This does kick up a good amount of powder, but it could also be the brush that I'm using since it does it with a lot of my other highlights as well.
Orgasm is a nice blush that gives a nice peachy pink color. It has has gold sparkles in it, however on me it does not show that way. The only thing I don't like about this is that after a fair amount of uses it becomes weird and crusty over the top and even with scraping the top layer off of it it still goes back to being crusty on the top... I will update with a picture later... I'm not sure how to fix this issue with it. It's like a layer of film or something on top and the blush just doesn't work the same like when i first got it.

The picture is of Nars Blush in Orgasm.

Review for: NARS Orgasm Blush Orgasm 0.16 oz/ 4.8 g more...

I love this color of the Nars blush. The color looks lovely on my pale skin, it isn't too pink for my face that tends to be too reddish anyway, and while it has a touch of a shimmer in the pan, it doesn't shimmer on my face.

I also think it's great that several of my friends use this blush, and we all have fairly different coloring. I am fascinated that one blush color works so well for so many of us!

I recommend this blush, and I'll repurchase if I ever hit pan (after a year, it's still going strong!).

PS: Typing the name of the color keeps getting me an error message that I am violating the website terms of service, so now I like the name even more!

Review for: Sex Appeal more...

This color is a soft peachy pink. It applies pretty lightly and not great for a dramatic flush, however I use this color all over my face for a soft, romantic glow. I like to layer this on my cheeks in the summer with a darker shade or I wear it alone when I am pale in the winter. I like this particular shade because it has no shimmer or glitter- I prefer to add my shimmer via highlighter for a more refined skin texture. I am blonde with fair skin and I just think this is a lovely shade for fair tones. I bought this because I saw in a magazine a picture of Reese Witherspoon wearing this blush and it did not disappoint. Natural look for those who like a more subtle color!

I love the pigment and the blendability and the formula of the NARS blushes. The color range is so nice and is compatible with almost every skin OUT THERE. The price of the blush is $30 and buying a few and splurging is worth it because it’s such a great product, it lasts for a decent amount of time not only on the skin but the product itself, you do not have to use a lot. You won’t go through it too fast and it’s a great investment if you’re into make up and you want to try a really good blush. The packaging is so great. NARS makes some of my favorite packaging. It’s velvety smooth to the touch it is black and their logo is just simplistically great.

Review for: Orgasm more...

I have been using this blush FOR YEARS. It’s my go-to and I wear it every single day. I have tried the “super orgasm” and I thought it horrible- the flecks of shimmer were huge and looked like I placed craft glitter on my cheeks- so back to the good ‘ole regular “orgasm” shade it was. I’ve even mixed this shade in with lip gloss to create my own shimmery, matching lip color. This blush is long lasting and I only have to apply it once a day. Great product. I highly recommend.

Review for: Torrid more...

I adore this blush. It was first recommended to me during a Sephora makeover a few years ago. Since then, Torrid has remained a go to blush in my makeup drawer. The coral color is perfect on my olive skin. I've also tried Dolce Vita (dusty rose) and whatever the bright red color is. I really like both of those as well. The matte red gives you the most natural looking flush if you apply just a tiny bit to the apples of your cheeks. I recommend this blush to everyone-there are so many shades to choose from, and the pigmentation is amazing. Will always have this on hand!

I love everything NARS, including this blush! I'm not a huge blush girl, and I especially hate super pink/red toned blushes, but this blush was so hyped I had to try it out. It's a beautiful coral color and it includes a bit of shimmer. I think it looks soo good on me; this blush is perfect for pale girls! I love how it's just the right amount of subtle, and I love the classic NARS packaging. I have many dupes of this color but this formula is still way better than any dupe out there. It just looks so perfect. I think it's a great fall/spring blush color.

Review for: NARS Orgasm Blush Orgasm 0.16 oz/ 4.8 g more...

This product receives so much hype on YouTube. It’s a cult classic. So when I bought it I had very high expectations. Well I was mostly disappointed. It has a visible gold sheen that emphasizes texture on the cheeks. It’s very pigmented can be a good thing however in this case it’s super easy to apply too much and look like a clown. I have better products that I enjoy more for less money. I am looking forward to trying this in summer when I am more tanned and hoping it will look better. With my light to medium skin tone now it is just ok.

O r g a s m definitely steals the show! I think it was the only reason why I started buying NARS products to begin with! This blush compliments my pale skin tone so well. If you are heavy handed like me, you can start looking like a circus really quick so be careful as they are super pigmented!
The product is so creamy and smooth. Application is nearly flawless with any type of brush- I kid you not. There is a lot of shimmer and glitter in this so I usually pair this will a moderate highlighter so I am not a walking donut.

Review for: Outlaw more...

This blush is extremely gorgeous! I love how it looks when you first put it on. It’s a dark pink color with tiny gold specs in it so it gives you a subtle glow. It also applies okay, too much pigment doesn’t come on my brush which is good so you have a bit more control with the color pay off. The downfall to this blush is the lasting power. It doesn’t stay on for long in my opinion. I feel like after the first hour it sinks into my foundation. For the price I need to see this color on my face the whole day/night if I’m not sweating. But besides that I am enjoying it but I won’t be buying it again.

I personally love this blush. It is pigmented and also buildable. If you would like to see what it looks like on you can check out my video on youtube where I unbox it. I am actually wearing it in the video. The video is called "Sephora Haul | #ReviewsbyKat" My channel is itskat. It is a bit pricey, but in my experience, blush is a product that lasts soo long and it is the perfect blush for everyday use and looks good with practically any makeup look. I think it is totally worth it.
