I got this blush after reading the reviews here and I must say that I love it! I apply it very lightly and it gives my face such a great pick me up. You can't beat the price, 7 or 8 bucks, and it seems like it would last forever. If I ever run out, I will definitely repurchase!

Did my research on dupes for Nars orgasm blush and every one seemed to rave about this product so I immediately went out to buy it and I LOVE IT! I don't own nars orgasm blush but I definitely want it. I didnt want to spend too much on a blush so this is a great alternative. Happy with my purchase and would repurchase again :) Hope this helps!

I finally found this at the drugstore for 7$ cdn in Halifax.
I am not too impressed over this blush. I love how it swipes but I don't like how it looks on my cheeks over time. I like when I initially put it on but after 2 or so hours this is gone. I wish this would stay on my cheeks longer but there is not much I can do.
Its a peachy color with a hint of shimmer.
The packaging is a round golden packaging with a bottom compartment. I hate that when you open it up the blush part is not attached to the packaging so it swings open and the brush falls out. I like that this is difficult to open because I travel a lot and I know this won't go flying around.
I wish I could repurchase this but I'm sure I'll never finish up this blush because it's a lot of blush.

I bought this because of the hype and I must be one of the very few people who are impressed with it. I also heard this was a dupe for NARS Orgasm but clearly this is peach with shimmer and Orgasm is pink with shimmer - I saw the difference in store but figured I`d still give it a shot. The packaging is very cheap looking, flimsy and hard to open. The double compartment on the top and bottom annoys me and seems like its going to fall apart. I found this blush to very pigmented but extremely chalky. On my skin it felt very powdery and was not a very flattering colour on me. I am almost 31 years old and I think anything with shimmer in it really is not something I like on myself (even if its not very noticeable). This did stay on my skin for a pretty decent amount of time but I`d much rather my MAC Peaches blush. I am bringing this product back to the drugstore for a refund so I will not be repurchasing. I personally just did not like this blush for myself - I figured it would sit in my makeup stash unused.

This is a coral-peachy blush that really brings radiance to the face! I also love the packaging, as everyone thinks that I paid a high price for this. The staying power is exceptionally great, and so is the staying power and the pigmentation. The only negative is that there is a fair amount of powder that scatter about when I use a brush to swipe over it. But nothing too bothersome. The brush that comes with the blush actually can be used if you are on the go! I also love the dome shape and the mirror. This gives me a nice glow and a refreshing look on my NC20 skin.

Finally bought this blush after hearing so much about it. It's a very light peachy color with finely-milled shimmer. It doesn't show up too much on my medium NC30 ish skin, but it does give a pretty glow. It's nice in the summertime. You can get Milani products on sale pretty easily, so it's a nice highlighting cheek product to have in your stash.

Perfect orange coral-y blush. I've had this for almost 2 years and there's still about 3/4 of it left, and I wear it every day. For reference I'm even too light for NC15, and this color looks great on my extremely fair skin. Brightens up my face and warms it up a little. I noticed it does fade after awhile and needs refreshing (minus 1 lippie), but other than that its great :)

Gorgeous blush. Very flattering on most skin types (I'm fair-medium with a bronzer habit and it looked amazing with my "tanned" complexion; a very fair friend of mine used it and it looked amazing on her as well). Highlights beautifully.

Minus one lippie for lack of staying power (not very good, but I don't mind reapplying and don't like a heavy blush look anyway). swatched it on my hand and it had vanished within 10 minutes, which was troubling.

Overall worth it, love it. I'm a fan of lighter pinks and coral blushes, so this was a perfect add to my collection.

I really love this blush. I've been wearing it every day for the past two months. It's a perfect peachy pink color that really livens my face up. I think it would look great on a variety of skin tones in the light to medium range. You can apply lightly if you are very fair or layer it on for more color. I don't normally like shimmer blushes but this one is perfect because the shimmer is so finely milled that it doesn't come across glittery, only dewy and glowy. This blush also has decent staying power over a longer wearing foundation. Over Revlon Colorstay in Buff it lasts at least 8 hours with some mild fading. The texture is also very blendable. I'd definitely recommend trying this out if you have a light to medium skin color!

Note: I added a photo of me wearing it-- I'm ~ NC 15-20 for reference.

HG blush!!!

I absolutely love this pearly pink blush. I believe it's a universal blush that any girl can use to complete their look. The blush is in a compact and easily flips up to reveal a flat blush brush for on the go touch ups.

I recommend this to everyone!

Just to clarify because I got confused myself.



The blush that is similar to Orgasm is Milani's Mineral Blush in LUMINOUS, not Milani's Baked Blush in LUMINOSO (which is more peachy)

I just wanted to do an updated review on this since it's been about almost a year and a half since I've been using this.

Generally this wasn't one of my fav blushes when I was brunette but now that I am blonde it is my every day blush!
Being blonde now makes a huge difference on how this comes up on my face and how it makes my overall appearance look.
This totally fits my whole scenerio going on with my face and hair.
Now I struggle to find any sort of satisfaction with my bright pink blushes that I have...
This peachy blush just looks absolutely gorgeous with light skin and blonde hair.
And it VERY long lasting. It doesn't come off till I take it off! The way it should be with every blush=)

I bought this because it was apparently a pretty close orgasm dupe. I don't know why people say that, because it is absolutely nothing like it. Orgasm is predominately pink with gold shimmer, and this is peach with gold shimmer. Don't get me wrong- it's pretty, just not what I was expecting. I would probably stick with Elf's twinkle pink or candid coral for an orgasm dupe in the future. Also not a fan of the packaging. It can be hard to open and looks kind of cheesy.

I actually really loved this blush. I bought it for about $8 at Walgreen's. I use the slightest bit on my blush brush and layer it to my color preference. It compliments my bronzer perfectly, and at $8 a pop, I will definitely be purchasing more Milani blushes.

Favorite blush! Good for people with fair or medium skin. I loveeeee that it doesn't make my face look red, it's a peachy color. I usually can't even wear blush, I just stick to bronzer, but this is a blush I can wear!

Meh. This product was overhyped in my opinion. For reference, I'm NC25, strong yellow undertones, Asian skin. First, I don't like the packaging for this product as it looks cheap with the shiny fake gold container. Second, there was too much shimmer in it for me to like it. I have other blushes that have shimmer in it and I love them, but this one just looked odd on me. I didn't like the shade of the blush itself, it was just a peach/pink/blah color and didn't do much for me. I have other pink/peach blushes that I like more. This blush might be better on somebody else. I used it once and haven't reached for it again.

I am giving this as generous a review as possible because it is incredibly well pigmented, goes on smoothly with proper application, and stays on a very long time. You get a nice big chunk of it for your money and the colors are pretty too.
OK, here's my problem with it. By the end of the day, without fail, it looks like I just finished decorating a Christmas tree. This particular color seemed to have less sparkly bits to it, and what you see of shimmer in the container itself seem almost marginal. But for whatever reason, 2 or 3 bits of this shimmer grow and settle on my nose, above the lip somewhere or on my chin even after powdering and it drives me nuts as it is difficult to shoo them away until I can get home and do a deep clean

This blush is beautiful. Even though Milani products aren't as cheap in Australia as they are in the US- it's still pretty cheap compared to most others for us Aussies.

This will definitely be a staple in my everyday routine.

The colour is so pretty and the staying power is great. You do not have to use alot of product either. It will surely last a while. I'm impressed, very excited to find a blush that looks so good on my skin.

I have really fair skin, so it is hard for me to find the right blush color. I had read that NARS Orgasm was a color that was universally flattering to most any skin tone, and that there was a much less expensive dupe, Milani Luminoso. I had to go to a few different stores to find it, because the brand is not carried at every store (even though my city is relatively big) and the stores I did find it sold at, it was sold out.
I used it the first day and hated it. I felt like it didn't show up very well at all, even on my very fair skin tone. I was going online to review it, and I read some more reviews which said that it builds well if you apply light layers, so I did that the next day and I loved it. I have had so many people compliment me, but they really have no idea what I changed, haha!
