Ladies, if you have not experienced the amazingness of NARS super bestseller Orgasm Blush you may be missing out on one of the greatest cheek colors ever made. To quote the Sephora web site:

The name says it all. Trust us, the soft sexy flush that this peach-pink shimmer leaves on cheeks looks just like you had the real thing.

You can trust me too, it’s true. Consistently voted as an Allure Reader’s Choice Winner, a 2009 InStyle Best Beauty Buy and the winner of Best of Sephora for the last 5 years. The accolades are well deserved. The peach-pink color is subtle yet buildable and somehow magically adjusts to any skin type, leaving a sheer wash of sexy cheek color with just the right balance of color and shimmer. The shimmer is a warm buttery gold that looks more intense in the container than on the skin so it leaves you glowing not glittery. Don’t worry you won’t look like a disco ball.

1) To apply, use a blush brush of your choice and smile at yourself in the mirror so you can see the apples of your cheeks.

2) Start on the apples and blend back toward the ear in a circular motion. I also like to use a little around the entire hairline and under the chin as well to balance out the face and help conceal the chin fat I can’t seem to get rid of. By the way, that trick works with any blush or bronzer you have, so just start lightly and build up the color.

Because of the success of the original Orgasm Blush, NARS has been expanding the line to also include Super Orgasm, the same powder blush but with twice the sparkle, Multiple Orgasm, a cream stick that can be use on the eyes, lips and cheeks and a Lip Gloss and Nail Polish to tie it all together. The lip gloss is super sexy too. My husband even noticed and complimented me when I wore it and he never notices things like a new lip gloss since I have so many.

My favorite blush ever by far, NARS Orgasm Blush is a staple not only in my personal make up bag but in my professional kit as well. I know many beauty professionals who also swear by this blush. I have yet to find a skin tone that Orgasm doesn’t work well with. Try it and see. You deserve it.
