This is a good summertime blush - a very shimmery, peachy-pink shade. However, I've gotten more pale, and now it doesn't show up on me very well. I think it's better suited for tanned skin, a la J.Lo.

This is the blush I use most often. At first when I tried it, I didn't like how bright it was against my pale skin. Then I learned to use a light hand, and now I really like the flushed look it gives me. It is a bit shimmery, sometimes too much for my taste, depending on the occasion, so be careful with that. It's pricey, yes, but I got to this point where I didn't want to agonize over how similar Orgasm Knockoff #294858 was to the real thing, so I took the plunge. (Of course I'm not suggesting that everyone else should do the same, as I love a bargain as much as anyone else!)

First off I am a fairly pale gold/olive combo skinned gal with bronze untertones, so almost nothing ever looks quite right, or wears well, usually fades, changes color, streaks, etc...At first I wasn't sure about this blush, since my blush brush is fairly crappy, but after aplying it with said crappy brush over Clinique's Almost Makeup in circular motions, I am now a convert to it's mystic powers. I went to an independent movie premiere after using this baby, and i have to say, it wan't my jeans and sweater that had heads turning everywhere i went... I did have to use quite a bit (though it doesn't seem to be making a dent in the container), but be sure to apply after your lipstick so you get the right amount. For a powder, the texture is high quality and satiny and has so far kept me from trying stila cream or tarte blushes. I highly recommend, although i don't know how well it would show up on darker skin tones. I have also tried "sin" and it ranks a close second.

I Love Orgasm(what a fantastic name!) Its a great blush colour. Its peachy pink blush that goes with all my lipsticks, and really adds warmth and a healthy glow to my skin, even when I am sick and pasty, this is my go anywhere blush! I would be lost without it.

I have never actually bought Orgasm, but everytime I enter Sephora I revisit it due to all of the raves. I guess I just don't have the coloring for it - on me it barely shows up, giving similar results to MAC's sheer shimmer powders (which cost a lot less).

I have never used blusher before as I was always scared that I'd get it wrong. I'd heard so much about this and thought I'd swap for it. I've never looked back since - it's amazing - through summer and winter it looks great and you just build up the colour if you want it to be more intense!

What can I say that hasn't already been said about Orgasm? I'm a MAC C3, and this shows up beautifully on my skin as a gorgeous peachy pink. It's not too warm or too cool. The sparkle isn't noticeable but it gives me a glow. I like a more sheer blush since I naturally have a lot of pink in my cheeks, and this is perfect.

This is a beautiful *very* shimmery blush that has just the right amount of pink and peach in it. Definitely gives me that healthy glow that I've been looking for. But for the price tag, I can find something else that's very close to Orgasm's coloring (i.e. Jane's Blushing Glow and MAC's Margin blush). However, I'm glad that I got Orgasm in a swap so that I could see what everyone was raving about!

I'm pale and if I put just a *little* too much on, it looks horrid and extremely ruddy. I have to wash my face to fix it. Be careful. I feel really ripped off for paying so much for a.. blush.

Let's just say that this product turned me onto Nars. You can't really avoid it. It's all over the magazines. The quality is inarguably unsurpassed. It goes on very smoothly and naturally. If you like peachy tones, this blush has the most natural & sexy glow to it. However, on my yellow toned skin, this is not my favorite color. Not to mention, it turns a bit orange throughout the day which is not at all natural. However, if used as a highlight instead of a blush, it does create excellent cheekbones! The main reason I wouldn't buy Nars blushes again is that it has comedogenic ingredients in it. I rarely breakout, but regularly using Nars does the trick. No thank you.

This is the perfect blush for a blush-phobic MMM like myself. I know that people complain that Orgasm barely shows up on medium skin - but for me, that's a good thing! If it looks like I'm wearing blush, then I'm wearing too much blush... heh. Orgasm just gives me a subtle peachy pinky glow without making me look "made up"... love it!

I finally caved into the pressure. I was tired of hearing of so many fabulous things about this pinky-apricot blush. It really does give me that soft afterglow (heheh).The shimmer is not nearly as intense as I had at first thought. It's not an overpowering shade (or shimmer) on my light/medium skin at all. But, it's still not worth the hype, but few things are!

While I have found that this product dosen't work on many skin tones, I do like it on myself. It isn't a very strong color so it allows you to layer for a deeper color if you so choose and therefore gives you control. It's a nice golden color on me but I have found it a bit too orange on others. Another product that I have found as a substitute when this product is a little too orange on someone is Guerlain's terracota. I use Guerlain's moisturizing bronzing powder in No.1. It gives your cheeks a healthy sun-kissed glow and comes in a variety of shades so that you can find the one that's right for you.

I hate to be in the minority on this one...Orgasm is a very pretty color in the compact and has a wonderful sheer and glowy effect with no obvious glitter, the color just doesn't work for me. It turned very orange (not peach) on my skin. So orange, in fact, that a friend commented on my unflattering too orange blush everytime I wore it (what are friends for?). I am fair, have combination skin and have also found this problem with Becca Princess. I suggest trying this blush and wearing it for a day before buying, as the orange effect seemed to increase as the day wore on and was more pronounced in natural light. Maybe it's the oils in my skin effecting the color? I've had better luck with Nars Sin and Mata Hari and Chantecaille blushes. IMHO Nars blushes are very high quality and highly recommended as long as the color is right for you.

This product lived up to the hype for me. I tried it in a pallet and had to buy a full size. The sparkles are subtle. Looks best on a warm toned complexion...be it fair or dark. Love it!

I simply love this blush! It gives me such a nice, glowy look, but it looks soft, not harsh like some blushes. The shimmer is very subtle & just adds to the glowing effect. I wear this just about every day, & I have barely made a dent in the product, so I'm guessing this will last for quite some time.

This blush is very pretty, I like the subtle sparkles. It's a nice shade of pink with a hint of gold. It goes good on my tan skin and blends nicely. I didn't realize how tiny it was for $20, then again it is NARS. But it's such a pretty color that I'd buy it again.

I purchased this blush not too long ago, mainly just to see what all the fuss was about. I'm a PPP, and didn't think that it would suit my skin tones, but I figured--what the heck, right?Well, I absolutely LOVE this blush, especially now that it's summer and I have a (fake) tan and glow on my face. It has a wonderful amount of pigment to it, and I love the little gold sparkles. I do a quick sweep during the day, and layer it on at night to really pick up those sparklies.

On a sidenote, I purchased this with the Heaven eyeshadow duo as well, and the previous poster is 100 correct--they look great together!

This is the perfect summertime blush for me. I always pair it with the Nars Heaven eyeshadow duo and they really compliment each other.
