Blush - Hot Mama

I’ve read that this is a dupe for NARS Orgasm, but since I don’t have NARS Orgasm I can’t confirm if this is true or not. What I can confirm is that this is a coral blush with some gold reflects in it. Hot Mama has a fairly intense pigment to it so a light hand is recommended but my goodness this is gorgeous! I use my favorite blush brush (IT Cosmetics French Boutique angled brush) to apply …Read more

Every makeup lover out there has a holy grail-status, go-to peachy pink blush with gold shimmer in their repertoire, and well, this is mine. Trust me when I say this, but as a blush hoarder that has owned it all from NARS, MAC, Tom Ford, Hourglass, Becca, etc., theBalm's Hot Mama is hands down one of the only blushes I will ever repurchase, replace, and travel with if I had to narrow down my …Read more

Let me preface that I never thought I would love anything more than Nars' orgasm. I've hit pan on that. I would wear it for days in a row because I loved it that much, despite my collection of 30 plus blushes. I went to Marshalls one day and saw this for $8. I was already fond of thebalm's frat boy and mary loumanizer (hit pan on that too) so I gave it a go. I didn't expect to …Read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this! I'd been wanting to try Nars Orgasm, but didn't really want to pay the price, and I was nervous the glitter would be too much. After some research, TheBalm Hot Mama came up as a dupe. I ordered it, and I actually really like it!

I'm half Asian, half caucasian, and an NC20 in Mac and wear Ecru in Double Wear and Snow in Too Faced Peach …Read more

This looks very natural on me i am nc20 c1 neutral asian light skin. The shimmers in here arent obnoxious as it looks in the pan. This is a healthy flush coral that isnt clown like. Its a great summer spring time color. It looks better than nars orgasm and deep thoart. It blends beautifully, better than nars for sure. I reach for this for a natural flushed cheeks in the sun look. I just wish the …Read more

This is one of my everyday used blushes. This is my no think blush, I will use it to work and on nights out. This is what I wish NARS Orgasm was. It has a gold sheen that I love, not to glitter but a nice sheen highlight that I appreciate I don't really like highlighters on my oily skin. It is long lasting and can be sheered out or with a slightly heavier application can really intensify the …Read more

I absolutely love this blush! It is the perfect colour for my skin tone, isn't overly pigmented but buildable and has some serious longevity. I am always impressed with products from TheBalm, and this is no exception. I use this almost daily and sometimes layer my peach blush from Ofra over it to give me an even glowier look.

Probably my fav of the 'Nars-Orgasm' dupes. The base colour leans peachy-pink with a warm golden sheen. Powder is finely milled, blends easily. Great summer colour, the only downfall seems to fade through the day needing reapplication. Cardboard casing typical of The Balm products, comes with a mirror, is light weight, compact and great for travel. Also works great as a highlight topper …Read more

I have the teeny tiny pot of this from In the Balm of Your Hand palette that I got for Christmas 2015, and I'm nowhere close to hitting pan despite using it daily. I've found myself reaching for this consistently for the past few months despite having a loooot of blush. This is what I wanted NARS Orgasm to be, but this is without the super chunky glitter (although I'm not against …Read more

HG blush!!! This is the most perfect blush I've ever used. You don't even have to wear a highlighter when you're wearing this blush. It is the perfect all day blush. If I want to be more fancy for a date, I simply brush on NARS orgasm blush over-top and I am set. This blush seriously lasts you foreeeever! Totally worth the price :) The staying power is incredible as well, lasts all …Read more
