I bought this last year as I heard everybody raving about it, and I cant say I blame them. It's a great colour, I can imagine its very versatile with different skin tones. I find I can wear this when I do or dont tan & it still looks great either way.

I got this blush to see what all the hype is about, and, I just can't see why people love it so much, it just won't show up in my skin, and it's too shimmery, I don't know, I've never had any problems with my other blushes but this one..

Orgasm really is that color that looks amazing on everyone. Super Orgasm is a little deceiving, it's the same color but has large chunks of glitter rather than a subtle shimmer. That one I do NOT recommend. I have mega dry skin so I have to make sure to put moisturizer on under this, because it's not the longest wearing blush in the world. My oily skin friends say that the powder formula absorbs oil though. I'm interested to try this in the multiple formula, and maybe try layering powder over that for staying power. Overall, amazing color and pigment (LASTS FOREVER) but staying power isn't great on my skin, could differ.

I don't think this product is worth the hype at all. My skin tone is not particularly difficult to work with colors. I haven't ever had an issue where something did not look good and tend to use a large range of different colored blushes without issue. My problem with Orgasm is that it just is not that great. In fact, I would not repurchase this. I think that Many other Nars options are way better than this one. It does absolutely nothing for my face and is definitely nothing special. I was so disappointed when I realized how much I really don't enjoy this product; I've tried it with both a tan and no tan and both ways I was completely unimpressed

Personally, I really loved this blush. I was super excited to try it- there is so much hype around it, so I finally decided to spend the astounding amount of $30 on it. It was totally worth it! For the insane price, you get a great amount of product and it has a cute little mirror on the inside! The color itself is gorgeous and looks really good on my light skintone, and what I really love it that the golden undertones on the blush make it act as a highlighter. It is so pretty when the sun hits the cheek- the blush kinda glows in this subtle way :) The color is very buildable and a little goes a long way, so there is no question about whether or not there is enough product. It stays very well, if you apply it evenly. Overall, I think this is an AMAZING blush, and I will definitely buy more from NARS!

I haven't bought this but I went and sampled it yesterday and then I ran over to Superdrug and sampled the "dupe" of it by Sleek and the really are identical. I might even go as far to say the Sleek one (named Rose Gold) is nicer because it has more of a shimmer instead of a glitter. I know my review isn't really a review but more of a tip off for anyone that has been considering purchasing Orgasm. I would try it out.. you may be pleasantly surprised and it costs only a fraction of the price.

I purchased this product honestly because of all the hype around it. It was marketed to me as the blush that any skin tone/ skin color can wear. I bought it at sephora and tried it the following day and... didn't care for it much. First of all I did not like the way the blush sat on my cheeks the formula did not blend well for me. The color was also quite chalky, the color is sought of a peachy salmon like color with gold shimmer undertones. I should point out that I have a tan complexion and colors like this usually make me look sun kissed, this however did not. I have been a devout MAC blush user ( if you will) for sometime and wanted a change but I was just not impressed, my opinion.. You can get a better formulated blush with similar coloring for a lot less. I never returned the bloody blush to Sephora which was an even bigger regret than purchasing the thing( and it was pretty pricey), so it is now in my draw of makeup products rejects.... Don't believe the hype on this product :-/

I don't know why all the rave over this blush! Seriously! It has been everywhere, everyone talks about it, celebrities use it and blah bla bla. It is very expensive and I was hoping it would be the best flushy finish to my cheeks. And oh please, this has so much glitter and shimmer in it that I can't really see the beauty of it. It looks unnatural, it looks like the type of thing I'd find in my niece's toy makeup kit. It's a pink blusher powder with golden toned sparkles (more sparkle than blush to be exact). I just realized it must be famous because of the name, really. Marketing techniques.
This comes from someone who loves all makeup, seriously. And for $30 + dollars you can find better quality blushes anywhere!!! Very awestruck with this! (in a bad way).

Best blush I've ever used, so easy and compact, it's fairly expensive in my eyes but you really dont need much, I've had it a year and hardly made a dent. I really never liked blush until a make up artist friend recommended this and now I use it almost every day. Buy it!

What can I say about this blush that hasn't been said before? I have never really been into blushes because I was kind of afraid that it would make me look way too "done up". I have tried many subtle cream blushes and liked the natural flush look and decided to finally buy this iconic blush.

First impression in sephora was that it was super sparkly and I was kind of nervous for this because I thought it would look kinda silly on me. I still went and bought the blush, and once I got home I immediately put it on. I am in LOVE with this blush and how it looks on my NC25 skin. I went to Cuba and I got a tan and this blush looked even better than on my usual skin tone. I believe it is a truly universally flattering shade. It is a pink blush with specks of gold that are super gorgeous once they hit the light. The other good thing about this shadow is that it is super build-able. A little swipe across the cheeks looks gorgeous but if you decide you want something more intense it is stil so beautiful without being overdone at all.

I would wear this blush anytime of the year, it is not strictly a warm season colour at all.It is gorgeous!! My only gripe about this product is that it is sooo expensive for such a small package. $32 CAD/0.16oz. The packaging is nice and sleek and easy for travelling though so that's a plus. But this is definitely worth the splurge, it is really wearable for everyday or nighttime and suits so many different skin tones. I now understand the hype for this product.

Beautiful colour, usual great NARS packaging, just doesn't last on me. I wish it did. No matter what foundation/powder combination I have, orgasm disappears after a couple of hours on me. Don't find this with other NARS blushes.

Not worth the hype. I have tried this blush a few times at Sephora to attempt to understand why it has so much attention, but it seriously looks orange on me (I am Asian with yellow skin tone, so perhaps my skin tone is emphasizing the orange).


Try NARS Dolce Vita instead -- love that pretty pink blush :).

It has a nice pinky peach flush on your cheeks. It's not super pigmented. The upside is that it won't be too overpowering or too pink as if you are a clown. It lasts all day and I actually like the gold that comes with it. For tanned skin, the gold will show up perfectly. If you are lighter-skinned, not so much. If you like the gold, you can also try Super Orgasm. But if you like this blush solely for the shade and don't like the gold dust, you can try Deep Throat.

As for the price, NARS blushes are kind of expensive but really worth it. You will use it for a long time and the quality is really good.

The perfect blush. It is light pink with gold sparkles so it gives you the color of a blush but the gold compliments my brozer. I would recommend it to anyone.

Errr... So I finally bit the bullet and bought this without trying to see if it lived up to all the hype! I have been eyeing this blush for at least 7 years...was a poor student then, and now am finally able to afford it. Well....it does show up nicely and naturally on my skin (NC30, asian) even though it looks scary in the pan (that shimmer!) but then again I think the shimmer on Super Orgasm looks even scarier....Almost a HG for me...but then again I'm always on a lookout for a great blusher! ;p

This is one of the best blushes I have ever purchased. I would have given it a 5 if only there were not so many cheaper dupes! This color is flattering on EVERYONE.. I love it when I apply my friend's makeup and they think I am such a good artist.. but its because I use good products like this one. The blush gives such a healthy glow, not too subtle yet not too dramatic. Perfect for everyday use and I LOVE IT!!!!

IMO there are great dupes for this shade that are way cheaper! If you are a fan of HE makeup, then it's a must-have, but my budget won't allow it anymore. I love the color, pinky-peach with micro gold shimmers. O looks sparkly in the pan, but it applies very natural and the shimmer is barely noticeable on my face(thank goodness bc I hate sparkly blushes with a passion)! This blush creates a sexy glow and takes very minimal product since its highly pigmented. I have yellow undertones and light skin, so the golden tone works well for making my cheekbones pop! I gave this to my sister after finding more affordable "dupes," IMO ELF studio blush in Candid Coral is the exact same color, maybe a little less pink. I add a small amount of ELF Passion Pink to it and get the same effect for under $5. Also NYX blush in Pinky is identical! Do yourself a favor & investigate alternatives for this much hyped product cuz $28 for a blush is crazy.

This is my HG blush, and it is gorgeous and super well known. It is a shimmery peachy-pink color that is universally flattering, and looks amazing on everyone. I wasn't very fond of the texture at first, but on the skin, it's very smooth. Although it's overpriced, there is a lot of product in the package and it will last a while. Along with the NARS lip gloss in Orgasm, it looks incredible and gives my skin a glow.
