Es uno de mis blush preferidos, de un tono rosado muy sentador que se funde bien con la piel. Es apropiado para tonos de piel claros a medios, y tiene un shimmer que ilumina la piel dándole un tono saludable.
El polvo es muy fino, se esfuma muy bien y viene bien prensado.

I was skeptical about this product at first because it is very hyped up, but I am very happy with my purchase.If you are going to splurge on a blush, splurge on this one. If you do not like it return it, Sephora has a phenomenal return policy.

I bought this after hearing so many people rave about it - calling it the "must have" blush. Yeah ... not so much. I used it for about a week and noticed it would start to fade very soon after I applied it. Ironically, one of my favorite YouTube beauty bloggers raved about a "dupe" for it - Milani's Bellissimo - and that product has worked far better (and far CHEAPER) than the NARS Orgasm blush. I will not purchase the Orgasm blush by NARS again.

I've been using this blush for a few years and can only conclude that it is very average. The colour is definitely beautiful, and I find it has just the right amount of shimmer for my taste, that gives a bit of a glow without being too obvious. It's a versatile, everyday shade that works with almost any eye or lip look. But for the price, the formula definitely needs improvement. I've used drugstore blushes that were more finely milled (CoverGirl, Almay, and Wet 'n Wild, to name a few).

When I first got it, it was very smooth and even in the pan and my brush swept over it smoothly and picked it up easily. But when I wore it down a bit, the surface became very chunky. This is hard to work with because it's difficult to pick up the colour with my brush, and I end up having to really swish my brush around and pile the product onto my cheeks if I want to see any colour at all. Sometimes this works, but sometimes it culminates in over-application, or shimmer that is more obvious than colour. Disappointing. (If this happens to you, I recommend sweeping some setting powder overtop with a kabuki to tone it down.) For many looks, I prefer NARS Desire (a gorgeous, matte, hot pink) simply because it goes on much more smoothly and evenly and therefore deposits a nicer glow. Unfortunately it's not as versatile as a peachy-pink like Orgasm (looks awful with a coral lip, for example).

I'm not about to throw Orgasm away, I make it work, but when I'm out I'm buying another peachy-pink blush. I hear TheBalm's Hot Mama is a straight dupe that is superior by far.

I have oily skin and large pores. This blush is a great color on my fair skin tone, but the shimmer enhances my pores and oiliness.
I didn't break out. It went on nicely. For my skin type I'm bummed to say it's not for me.

I'm not sure I love it or hate it.
When it worked, it looked on my complexion beautifully fresh, glowy. Like just-came-back- from-holiday glowy.
Other days it is just a shimmery fake looking dry mess settling in my pores, making them huge.
When I'm a bit tanned it certainly looks better. But most of the days I'm pale as always, so I grab this occasionally. Too bad, because it is quite pricey, and I'm afraid it'll go bad before I use it up.

I've given this a couple of tries over the years and I always get the same results - blah.
First of all - it's really difficult for me to even get any product on the blush brush, no matter how hard I try. It's like it's a super pressed powder. I also can't stand the NARS rubbery packaging. It looks super cute and chic when it's new but after awhile the product builds up on the edges and it gets dirty in the makeup drawer and is difficult to clean.

The color on me doesn't look very nice - which I really can't fault the product for - it's my skin tone. I will say that this blush almost magnifies my pores and also causes the tiny fine blonde hairs on my cheek to stand up. No bueno.

Sorry I can't relate to the other reviews but I just do not like this stuff.

The golden shimmer in Orgasm is quite strong so it is a little off looking on my fair skin. As for the colour, I think that it is easily dupe able. The lasting power is good but I wouldn't repurchase this.

I don't get the hype with this blush. It barely shows up on my NC25 skin. Also, it's incredibly frosty and not flattering when it settles into my pores. I have and love the
Orgasm Multiple and there is just no comparison. The Orgasm Multiple has more color and isn't as glittery. The powder version of Orgasm is probably the least useful item in my makeup collection.

Love this, but a bit too expensive. Doesn't wear off throughout the day. Such a pretty glow on my skin.

I love this orgasm bulsh! it looks great on fair skin and it makes my face glow when there is direct light.
The packaging is cute, I like how it feels. :)
The blush is a bit over price, but I have it for over a year and there is still a lot left. It hasn't hit the bottom of the case yet. If I ever run out I would buy the sample size that comes in two with Orgasm blush & Leguna bronzer.

Not much I can add here that has not already been said a million times over about this blush. I really love this and I usually always get some comments nice ones when I do wear this. This is my go to blush when I can't decide what will look right. It really goes with just about anything on me!

IN LOVE.

My father bought me this on my 17th birthday, I am 19 now, and I was so overjoyed because my dad is frugal when it comes to shopping so I was overjoyed because 1- My first blush. 2-It was a gift from my daddy!

So once I got home, I decided to test the waters with it by wearing my makeup *before I was neutral, now I go dramatic.* and I apply the blush and I was so happy with the result color pigment and shine. This blush is my go-to blush and I plan to get another one because my current is almost done and it has lasted me 2 years!

About the blush:
-Great pigmentation
-shine isn't too over the top if applied right
-packaging is cute and fabulous.
-peachy shimmer
& Versatile! I even use it as an eyeshadow for my sister's school pictures.

I will buy this again

Next up on my list: Duo Orgasm/Laguna!

I wanted to love NARS Orgasm because of all the hype around this blush. I honestly don't think any other make up has as much hype as this one does. It really came up short for me. I figured it would be perfect for me because I am fair skinned and blonde. It barely showed up on me. I couldn't even really tell I was wearing it even when I piled it on like crazy. Definitely not a hit for me, I won't repurchase.

I have been using this blush for years and have recommended it to others. Since I have fair skin and blonde hair, I find it gives me the colour I need without being obvious. I put it on over BB or CC cream and use a highlighter on my upper cheeks and it makes my cheekbones stand out without being overdone. My daughter and my mother both love it as well. I'm not sure if it could be a universal blush as NARS claims- I think it could be a waste or too light for dark hair and eyes. I use the original - not the one with glitter.

With a name like Orgasm Blush I was expecting a product so good I'd need a cigarette after using it. While I wouldn't go quite that far, it is still very good. My favorite thing is that the sparkle element is really subtle, which gives my face a nice healthy glow without looking unnatural.

I like this product its nice and gives me a slight highlight whenever I apply it. The pigmentation is great I never have to use too much to get color on meaning it will be lasting me a long long long time. However its not my holy grail blush. I will buy it again when I finish it however it'll just go under my many blushes not my go to. The packaging is ok quite sturdy however the material its made out of makes it easy to get dirty with fingerprints, dust, other makeup products (though you can wipe it down fairly easily). The price is definitely something that I would make hesitate when repurchasing if I can find myself a blush that I consider my HG then this blush will go on my Christmas/Birthday/Anniversary wish list for someone else to buy for me at some point in time.

I received this blush as a birthday present and it is now my favorite. The pink with gold shimmer is gorgeous and I use it almost every day.

In Australia the blush is $45 and I find that quite dear for a blush but it's just so beautiful.

I use this blush every day unless I am going for a more cheeky look. The reason this is the #1 selling blush in the world is because the color is formulated to blend well with most skin tones. HOWEVER, if you like a dramatic cheek, this is not for you as it does blend very naturally into the skin. The gold shimmer in it gives a natural highlight and the peachy-pink tone is just beautiful. This is the perfect blush for the girls looking for something to wear every day. I love this product as well because it last remarkably long for a powder, even without setting. The price is a little high, but you do get a lot and I don't hit pan for months with this. Should be a staple in most makeup bags :)
