I've always been interested in Nars since i read the rave on the Orgasm blush many moons ago. I know i had to feature it in blog one sweet day. I've been waiting for the correct time (read: best source to buy) so that i can offer a good price. I've managed to knock down the price on Nars blushes, as compared to custom orders previous years. Rest assured they're authentic and fresh. If you are not familiar with Nars, you can go to their official website at www.narscosmetics.com or read the hundreds of reviews on their items in MakeupAlley.

From what i read, Nars blushes are pigmented and you have to apply it lightly (apart from sheer blushes) so a pan will last for years and years.

RM 145 each

My usual postage charges applies.

Nars Orgasm

Orgasm:  Peachy pink with shimmer

 

Reviews

"I kept seeing rave reviews for this product no matter what skin tone and had to go try it myself. I went to Sephora, tried it and bought it the same day. I always looks for great peach blushes as they are very natural and flattering for me. Yet, they are so hard to find. This is beyond perfect! It lasts forever and I can't imagine ever being without it. The little gold flecks imparts the most gorgeous look of glow from within. I can't say enough about this blush but to go out and try it for yourself! Yes it is expensive, but it is worth it. The compact is designed perfectly. It is simple, doesn't take up tons of space, and isn't tricky to use one handed. "

"The color is beautiful! This is a blush I can wear staying home on a lazy day, or for going out at night! Very subtle shine and gives my skin a healthy glow! The packaging is heavy duty, in case the products are dropped, they are well protected! I am 100% pleased with this blush!"

"OMG I had to delete my old review of this product and write a new one. Previously I think i might have used some crappy brush to apply this so it wouldn't show up perfectly on my skin. Now I use SHU 20 pony brush to apply this, and this is just PERFECT! Orgasm gives me THE GLOW I am looking for, and this is highly pigmented! I only need a light hand, I previously gave 3 lippies now I think I have to change to a 4 or a 5. The glow is non comparable LOL.
I gave 3 for packaging because I totally HATE the RUBBERY compact, 1) it peels after a while and degenerate into a piece of sh*t 2) the rubbery texture makes it hard to clear the blush powder and the compact (obsessed with cleaniness and neatness) 3) tiny amount of product for the price you pay.
But i will repurchase when this runs out!"

" bought this blush because a friend of mine had it and i didnt relize how much people raved about it till i got it home. But it is the most AMAZING product i own. It looks good on virtually any skin tone and give you a great glow. The glitter in it is the only thing that gets on my nerves and im yet to find the right blush to use with it. other than that it has a cute packaging and name and is well worth the money. "

"I absolutely love this blush. I never use to wear blush until I got this one. When I saw it in the store I think the lights made it look a looot lighter than it actually was. So I was like whats the big deal? But my best friend got it for my for my birthday and i love love love it. It really makes me look like I have a glow! I absolutely love it."

"I hate to fall into all the hype, because I'm usually as skeptical as they come but I just couldn't resist once I swatched it. Beautiful color payoff, and I don't find it glittery at all! I've used it every day since I've gotten it and I think it looks very natural if you blend correctly. This ones a keeper, and I don't care what its called or how many they've already sold."

"After hearing all the raves I broke down and purchased this and am so glad that I did. The color is just the most beautiful peachy shade that makes my skin glow. The only down side for me was that since I have dark skin, I had to apply a ton of this product to get any color. But once I did I was amazed. I look so healthy. Absolutely stunning shade. Using your nars bronzer brush or any dense blush brush will put alot more color on at once. Lasts all day. Always wins best blush in InStyle magazine best blush! Comes in the nars rubber black case.

"A natural golden peachy-pink glow in a compact that you can buy for less than the price of the jitney ticket to the Hamptons and without the sun damage involved in a day at the beach. Why had I not reviewed this product before? I've been using it since it came out and hey...I STILL love it! Absolutely NO HYPE from Nars. Just fabulous, high quality products worth every dime of their pseudo-high priced tags. Buildable, becoming, lovely on most any skin, especially fair to medium skin. SJP may have started the movement but Orgasm is here to stay. Another great product from NARS that is still going strong after MUCH use. It goes on and on and the packaging and contents look as good as new. Merci Francois!"

"I am naturally quite pale and have pinky cheecks and generally pink undertones and so I never thought that a peachy blush would look good on me, but then I tried it on - and it looked gorgeous - gave me a nice peachy- (slightly tiny pinky)glow! I LOVE the colour - its gorgeous! I generally do not like powder blushes or genrally powdery look products - I prefere a little glow and not matte skin and I was surprised how great it looks on the skin, nicely pigmented and especially when I am tanned which I am most of the time - it gives u the most gorgeous flush!!! Its not expensive and lasts u ages- a total must have for me!"

"This blush is fantastic, although, while many of the beauty magazines out there insist it is the must-have blush for everyone, I think it is something that has a limited potential. The consistency is fantastic and the color, a pink with peach undertones and gold shimmer, is amazing. However, the shimmer in it does cause some shininess upon application. It can look like you put glitter on your cheeks. Some people like this sort of look while others detest it. It certainly isn't overpowering, and its subtle. It certainly does give you a sort of afterglow. I would definitely get this again!"

"An unregrettable lemming! It truly does live up to its hype! It is a shimmery golden pink w/ subtle apricot tones that looks sheer and subtle when on. it does give me that ever so slight color with a touch of shimmer to highlight. this is going to be my no brainer blush--it's so natural, that i could wear it on my "no makeup" days! Will definitely repurchase *if* i ever run out. (small compact, but there seems to be a lot in there IMO).'

"This is a beautiful pinky-apricot blush with the slightest hint of gold shimmer. The texture is smooth and velvety, and goes on wonderfully with a blush brush. Jennifer Lopez revealed this in YM as her Holy Grail blush. I got it when I was a very pale PPP, and thought it looked too overdone, but fit perfectly when I got a tan. The packaging is cute and versatile, but blush and other cosmetics stick to it easily. It imparts a beautiful glow, and I'd buy it again"

"I really, really like this blush. I will admit that I originally wanted this because I heard it was what J.Lo used. I had no problem making the colour show up on my pale skin. It gave me a very natural looking glow. I tend to use this one during the day and then use Sin at night."

"The infamous blush. Fantastic NARS quality as always, great packaging (easy to keep clean). Orgasm is a peachy pink blush with gold shimmer that gives a beautiful glowing look, wearable for night or day. Turns up more peachy on some, more pinky on others. On me, it really depends -- I think if I put it on sheerly, it looks pinker, if I put more on, it turns peachier."

"I had my doubts about trying this as I usually wear pink blushes and almost never wear anything that as gold shimmer. Orgasm also look very peachy pink in the pan. However when i tried it on i was pleasantly surprised! I'm an Asian LLL and it looked pink with slight peach tones (definately more pink than peach) and subtle gold shimmer. It's no doubt one of the most beautiful blushes I've ever used. And as with all of NARS blushes, the texture is superb! The texture very fine and left my cheeks silky soft. Colour stayed true all day too! Definately lives up to all the hype..a dusting of this gives me a gorgeous glow"

"LOVE this blush!!! It's a very shimmery peach color with a hint of pink. I'm VERY pale, so many times with out makeup I come dangerously close to looking dead or something. NARS Orgasm gave me that healthy sun-kissed glow and really brought out the yellow undertones hidden within my Asian skin. Even on lazy days or days when I find I don't have enough time for my regular makeup regime, with just a little bit of this blush and some black eyeliner I would be comfortable going out in public. It is also so natural looking, it would be near impossible to make a mistake applying it. Because it's so subtle though, I'm not sure if it would work with darker women. Unfortunatly it is quite costly(about 20$) and many people complain that you can find a similar color blush for cheaper. All I can say is, you can't beat NARS' quaility. "

 

Nars Super Orgasm

Super Orgasm:  Peachy pink with gold glitter

Reviews

"I used the regular orgasm from time to time, but felt it wasn't quite right-a little too peachy and warm toned for my cool toned pale skin! If you are pale and cool toned, this is for you!! Very natural and healthy looking! I like the sparkles, but if you're worried, they blend. As always with Nars blushes, the packaging is great and is able to withstand frequent drops without crumbling. My new favorite blush!"

"BEST BLUSH EVER. I look so.. healthy! The glitter isn't very noticeable on the skin. This is the best peachy pink blush I have tried for my fair skin tone. I just feel beautiful wearing this blush... even without other makeup. It makes a huge difference. I'm pretty sure this blush saved my life. Thank you NARS for making the best blushes ever. I'm naturally very pale and this is just the right amount of color. It makes my face just look so bright and happy. I love it. "

"NARS has THE best blushes. I've only tried two so far but those two are extremely pigmented. Super Orgasm is a pretty bright pink with peach undertones and gold sparkles. While I don't care much for the gold sparkles, I can understand how it'd be pretty for nighttime. For daytime, I swirl my brush in the blush and tap to remove the excess. This usually helps to remove most of the gold sparkles, though I do see some here and there on my face. It's nothing garish; I just prefer matte blushes personally. I received this in a swap but I'm not sure if I'd repurchase again due to its exorbitant price (IMO) for a blush. Well, maybe when I get a "real" job :P Also, I do think MAC Springsheen is a good dupe, minus the gold sparkles."

"This is the Orgasm to get if you are pale and cool-toned, and peach just looks 'off' on you. This is the ultimate spring time blusher, it's a warm pink: a pink tinged with peach that is oh so flattering but still natural and not a doll-like pink. I have tried to find this colour for all eternity, and it's surprisingly difficult. When I went to NARS, this was the most used blusher there! But, although that in itself stands as testament to its popularity, I must remind all that NARS blushers are very very soft, and the huge glitter chunks in this make it even more vulnerable to cracking, so I suspect it inevitably goes down more than their other blushers -- I am being vigilant on that front and making sure to be excessively gentle with my blusher brush!
As for the aforementioned glitter chunks, please please don't let that put you off! As everyone says, just tap your brush and off they float! This may have the undesirable consequence of wasting blusher, so admittedly if I could find a dupe that has the same beautiful pigmentation, slight sheen, and natural finish, (i.e general perfection!) I would get that instead. However for now, this is unique enough for me to say, yes, I would repurchase, and yes, I would recommend you do too!!"

"This blush is a beautiful peach/pink with lots of gold glitter. I don't have any problems with glitter - I think it's pretty. If some glitter gets on my cheeks, that's the way I like it! In fact, the glitter in this blush is 50% of the reason I bought it. If people don't like my glittery cheeks, they can simply eat a big one. Now with all that said, my skin tone is NW-15 on the cool to neutral side and this blush really isn't ideal for it as I need to wear cool toned blushes and I'd definitely call this one a warmish blush. But I couldn't help it - I just had to have it. "

"i am absolutely inlove with this blush! it such a gorgeous natural blush with a hint of gold shimmer. i've seriously tried so many different blushes but this one tops all of them. everyone gave this big hype about the nars blush so i gave it a try and i was really suprised by how good it was.i dont know why everyone says theres so much glitter seriously when you put it on or tap your brush before putting it on most of it falls off.i prefer this way better than the original O its pinkier and doesnt make me look so red"

"Just like the original Orgasm, I love super orgasm too! I didn't need any blush because Orgasm lasts forever, but when I got a 15% off Friends and Family coupon from Lord and Taylor that was good on cosmetics (it was around the Holidays), I couldn't pass it up. The color and formula is slightly different then the original but it compliments me just the same. Great pigment, great staying power, last forever!
AND YES, tap the big specs of glitter off your brush. it only takes a second and they fall right off. Not a big deal. Get it, cherish it, and keep the plastic film that says NARS on top of the blush to keep it safe and keep the blush off the mirror."

"This is my first Nars product, of course it's the blush! I went to Sephora to try on their blushes and wasn't even going to look at the Super Orgasm. It was a last minute try on and it was a tie with another.. (torrid or taos?).
Just recently I was thinking of returning it because sometimes it seems it brings out the red of my cheeks than give a nice glow. But then I realized I must not be putting on my foundation enough to give it an even canvas. So I tried it again and am slapping myself for even thinking of returning it.
It gives a nice spring fresh look. There are a lot of glitter chunks in it but that doesn't bother me. I think that's what gives it that nice "fresh look". I can't wait to try it in the spring time. It goes on very nicely and for me it is not super pigmented.
The packaging is awesome but the amount of money for how much product is discouraging."

"LOVE THIS! More concentrated than the original (which I have used for years) and with subtle goledn flecks in it, this is a dream! NARS is such a fantastic brand and the quality is superb, just wish the packaging wasn't so easy to get dirty. No matter how hard I try, the black rubber casing always seems to get marked with foundation or other make up smudges and makes them look shabby. Still, that gripe aside, this blush is a lovely peach glow and can be applied lightly for a nice 'flush' or with a more heavier hand for an intense colour. You definitely get what you pay for with NARS and this blusher proves it. Another NARS winner!"

"I love this blush! It's super pigmented; only one swipe of the product gives me enough for both cheeks. The color is gorgeous on my fair, yellow-undertone skin; I get many compliments on it! I think it would truly be flattering on every skin tone. The gold glitter in this product is very small and makes a subtle statement. You only can see it when it hits the light. It's gorgeous! Definitely a must-have!"

'This blush makes a dramatic statement on my medium with yellow undertone skin. I couldn't wear the original Orgasm because it doesn't really show on my face. But Super Orgasm is a different story. It's very pretty and gives me a healthy look. I wasn't crazy about the gold glitter but the the pinky peach color was too gorgeous to pass. It's even better than the Portofino multiple."

"I've been wearing the original O for many years since I have done freelance in the past with NARS....I read a bout this in Allure and I had to get it! I alternate my blushes and I have had the same one for a few years....The original O was more sheer and light. When I was tan over the summer it did't really show as much. SO is definitely the more fabulous dramatic version of this blush.It's awesome... the pinky peach color make my blue eyes pop on my nc35 skin... well Im naturally more of a C3, it takes a few months for my tan to totally fade. Gals, get out and purchase... and don't worry about the glitter.. it falls off before u put it on your face..lol... Enjoy!"

"Let me start by saying that I love the regular Orgasm blush and that lately I think I'm loving Super Orgasm as much! This blush is a more pigmented (actually, the pigmentation is fantastic, unlike O. that needs layering even on my NW15 skintone) and a bit more pinky version of Orgasm - so if the original didn't show up on your skin this will probably do. As I said, the color is pretty similar but pinkier, with a bit of less peachy tone to it, more like a nice pink on the warm side but wearable by neutral or cool toned people like me. Once you open the compact and look at the pan the glitter will probably scare you off but it is easily gone if you tap the brush and buff well. The result is fresh, sexy and luminous. "

"I LOVE this blush. It has a wee bit more pink to it then the original (wich I swapped). Yes, it does have a lot of glitter in it, but once I swipe the brush over the blush, I give the brush a very gentle blow to blow off the glitter and Voilà! Gorgeous color with no chunks of glitter. It's perfect. It really doesn't have to suck if you just blow off the large pieces of glitter. So simple it baffles the mind."

'At first I was really put off when I saw the size of the glitter. It's not just tiny particles, it's chunks! However, I thought I'd ask an SA to put this one me before I took it home, as I live thirty minutes from the nearest Sephora location. And what do you know? They're right...the glitter really does brush away easily! And it's even more pigmented on me than the original Orgasm! One of swipe of Super O is all I need, versus three swipes of the original. Don't be scared of the glitter. This really is a beautiful and unique shade! I'ved always loved NARS blushes because of how different the colors are compared to other lines. Sure there are some high end products that are easily replaceable by low ends, but these blushes are something I will gladly spend the money on! Even if it's the only high-end item in my makeup bag! Don't even bother with all the Orgasm dupes. They don't even come close the the real deal, Orgasm or Super O!"

Nars Deep Throat

Deep Throat:  Peach with shimmer

Reviews

" After buying and then realizing for the thousandth time that Orgasm was just too bright for my super pale skintone, I decided to try Deep Throat to see if it would work better since it seemed like a slightly lighter, warmer version of Orgasm. I really wish I had bought this shade from the get-go. It looks awesome with my pale skin and gives me a super pretty pinky peach glow. I still have to be careful with applying, though...Nars blushes are super pigmented and easy to overdo if you have pale skin like me."

"I enjoy this blush much more than Orgasm. The color is a nice peachy pink with a very subtle shimmer finish to leave a dewy look. I apply it lightly with a 187 and the result is a very natural flush. This wears all day, like my other Nars blushes. I think this color works so well with my very fair skin. Orgasm looks nice on me, but it seems brighter and has a larger shimmer particle size than Deep Throat. Deep Throat basically leaves a beautiful and subtle glow that is easy to wear with any look. I love the little rubber compact. It gets dirty easily, but I give it quick wipe every time I use it. People with really fair skin may want to reach for this instead of the almighty Orgasm. "

"I love this blush! This is the perfect peachy pink for my very pale skin. Color pay off is great and the shimmer is just enough. Perfect Blush!"

"I loove this blush!!! this is the perfect shade of pink with a touch of peach and just the right amount of shimmer.I usually use a fiber optic brush for blush but I do use a more dense brush for this b/c it is a touch sheer for me ( I am NC 20 MAC and a level 2 in AL).I actually prefer this over Orgasm."

"deep throat is part of my holy trinity of nars blushes - orgasm, crazed and deep throat. when i reach for a blush, 95% of the time, its one of these three.

deep throat is a lovely peachy pink, leaning more towards peach than pink on me, with a warm wash of shimmer. deep throat always makes me look healthy, like i spent time in the sun, with a good application of sunscreen so i didn't get too much color. it also adds some depth and contour to my face without looking like i painted a brown stripe under my cheekbone. i am not sure how deep throat manages to do this (i am guessing its the shimmer) but i love that it does!

there are alot of peachy-pink blushes out there very similar to deep throat. but for some reason, they look like i applied blush. deep throat doesn't look like applied blush; it looks like a color that might occur naturally on my face. <3

for reference, i am the palest of the pale. i have difficulty finding foundations to match my palor. i am also very neutral, having no real yellow, pink or olive undertones. i apply deep throat with a light hand and tone it down some using it with a highlighting powder.

i hate nars packaging. black rubber inevitablely covered in glitter and foundation fingerpints is unsightly and almost unsanitary! but the overall quality of nars blushes, including deep throat, make me overlook the icky packaging and high cost."

"lovely peachy blush with a slight hint of pink. It isn't as super glowy as Orgasm and just offers a very subtle shimmer. It has wonderful pigmentation and texture, and applies very smoothly. It doesn't change colors on me as the day wears on. Great for the office and daytime."

"All have been said. The shade is not that unique compared to some other Nars blushes. There are many similar peachy pink shades out there in the market. But this is definitely one of those of the highest quality. Universally flattering shade that goes with almost everything. I especially like the shimmer in it, always gives me that dewy look without being too obvious. My go-to blush. Won't repurchase as it will last me forever. "

"I've always found it difficult to find a nice blush because they all seem to enhance the redness that peeks through my foundation. With Deep Throat though, I honestly think I've come across my HG blush! Although it seems a little pricey for merely a blush, I've used it every day for a month now, and there's barely a mark in the product.
[ PROS ] - results in a beautiful peachy/pink flush; lasts at least 12 hours; nice consistency; can be built up; fool proof
[ CONS ] - on the pricey side
There is a little bit of shimmer to it, however I do not find that it shows up enough to cause any issues on my NC-25 skin. I will definitely repurchase this when I need to."

"This is very versatile. It is very pigmented on my medium tan skin and is more pink than peachy. I can apply it lightly for a crisp day look, and more heavily for a sexy look when I'm going out. Love it. I appreciate that the packaging is sturdy, but the rubber-ish material attracts dust like no other and I feel like people think I'm a dirtbag when they see my dirty little NARS blushes. "

"Awesome! I bought one a long time ago and it lasted me a few years! It crumbled and broke and I even hauled it around in a plastic baggie! lol I've never done that with anything else. I bought this again and still love it. I find this has a LOT of pigmentation, I just need a little dab and viola! I flip flop between this and Orgasm. I find this to be a warm neutral pink with a hint of peach to it on my NC20 skin. Expensive but worth the years of use! It goes on smooth, lasts forever and feels like butta. "

"If you are looking for an all day blush, look no more. This is a excellent blush. What all blushes Should be!! Super finely milled, stays on all day and the pigmentation... WOW. Just a tap of your brush on this blush and you have enough!! This will last you forever. So don't be scared by the $25 price tag. This will outlast all your other blushes!!
This works great on my fair/medium skin tone, but I think it looks lovely on all skin tones after seeing many people use in on YouTube tutorials. If your not sure go to your local Sephora, they always have all the Nars blushes out to try. See if you like it :)) I think you will love it :))"

"This is def a HG blush. I think it is the best one NARS makes. I think the quality is great, and it feels SO smooth. I got this when I was going to Sephora to by Orgasm. I thought with all the hype it would be the best blush there. But this was alot better. It is a bit brighter, and just works on my skin better. If you are looking for a NARS blush, definately try this out!"

"This is one of my HG blushes! For the record I have fair skin and blonde hair; this color gives my complexion the healthy glow it needs.
This blush is a peachy-pink whereas Orgasm is a pinky-peach. I vastly prefer this to its more famous sister because of the color of the blush - it is just better suited to my skintone.
Now if you haven't tried Nars blushes, you are in for a treat! Price wise, they can be somewhat steep, but I assure you they are worth the money. Nars blushes are highly pigmented, yet they go on smoothly - no noticable line of demarcation. I have put the blush on in the am and not even had to retouch all day. The best part is, they look natural. If you are hesitant about spending $25 on a blush, let me assure you these last a very long time.
If you aren't new to Nars blushes and want a peachy blush to wear, I highly reccomend DT. It is a HG and I hope they NEVER stop making this! "

"I am a newbie to NARS blush. Heard so much about it plus seen all the great reviews online and I just had to get my hands on it. Its my first high end blush and I got no regrets. I do not use a MAC 187 like everyone else but a Bobbi Brown face blender brush with this. A little is all it takes to go on smooth and the colour appearing on my cheeks is the best I ever had like it was created just for me. This colour suits my complexion very well. It is also long wearing and needs no touch up. I will never use other brands blush after this. I will buy it again if I can actually finish it, judging by the amount I use each time. To everyone who is still considering buying/trying this one, please do not hesitate and go treat yourself to one now! "

"My first NARS product and I absolutely love this shade "deep throat" It has some shimmer but not too shimmery like orgasm! It also has staying power! Although a lot of you don't like the packaging which is sooo cute but it is hard to keep it clean because it gets dirty of the velvety texture of the packaging/case! This is a little bit expensive but so worth it! I will definitely buy NARS blushes and try different shade!"

"Nice peachy/pink shade, VERY similar to the colour 'orgasm' I have both, i bought orgasm first and adored it but now i have tried deep throat, i have to say i prefer deep throat, they are both the same colour but deep throat gives more colour pay off and less shimmer (although it still does have a touch of flattering shimmer) it works well on my skin tone which ranges between NC15 to NC25 depending on whether im using a gradual tanner or not. If i had pick, id pick this over orgasm. I do believe NARS blushers are a tad over priced, but they are good quality and they will last for a long time, i also think they need to re think the colours of their blushers and add some more pink colours to the collection, i dont need another peachy/coral colour (i already have this one, orgasm and torrid) and i prefer pink tones."

"Best blush ever!!! This is the most flattering and longest lasting blush. Nars blush textures are amazing! There is really nothing else like it. It enhances your glow like no other. This is an expensive blush so invest in this if you are a medium skinned person. Its perfect and its sheen adds great dimension on your face. A must have!!! "

"This was my first NARS product, which I bought to replace my 6 year old max factor blusher that had been discontinued. I'm NC30 oriental skin and I was looking for a soft natural blush just to give a bit of healthy colour
This is a peachy blush with gold flecks, but it's not too shimmery at all, it catches just a touch of light to give a glowy look. I should add I'm not a big blush person, and I'd only ever used one mac and one max factor one before. I picked NARS blusher without knowing much about the brand mostly because I hated the slim rectangle of my old blusher and wanted a big pan one to get my round brush into it properly.
I was instantly impressed. The first thing I noticed was whereas with mac and mac factor I had to aggressively swipe my brush in the blush and apply several times, I almost struggled to be light handed enough with NARS the blush, it was so pigmented. Although this blush was pricey at £18.50, I sense this will last me absolutely ages as it needs the lightest touch for a natural sheer application. I was cautious about shimmery blush because I like a natural matte look, but the shimmer isn't OTT at all and works as part of my day face.
I like the compact itself, the black outside looks classy and the mirror is convenient.
I may even wear blush more because I enjoy using this one so much! I can't compare the colours to other NARS blushers, but the quality of the make up is undeniably excellent!"

"I don't play favourites with my NARS blushes, but if I did, it might be Deep Throat...
This is a gorgeous "peach with shimmer" (as opposed to Orgasm, "peachy pink with shimmer" which I also have). To tell the truth, I can't differentiate between DT and Orgasm in the pans, unless the lighting is great - I have to check the name on the back. Anyway, DT is a rich, grown-up colour that gives an incredibly sexy, realistic flush. I imagine it would be great for most skintones, but I'm very fair.
It's so expensive but it'll last forever. LOVE NARS. "

Nars Torrid

Torrid:  Coral with shimmer

Reviews

"I bought Torrid in a duo with Albatross but I love it so much that I'm going to review Torrid on its own. This is my 'Orgasm'! Torrid is the colour that my cheeks flush naturally and really makes my face come alive. MA's usually recommend that you pick a colour blush that is the colour of your cheeks when you pinch them and for me Torrid is the ONE. I have a pale, freckled complexion with yellow undertones. Due to my colouring – strawberry blond hair and hazel eyes, I have always tended to use bronzers or tan toned blushers but I'd never considered 'coral' shades as the 'pink' in them just makes me look jaded. However I decided to invest in Torrid and frankly I will never need another blush again. Torrid looks beautifully natural and I would thoroughly recommend it to all redheads. It is so versatile IMHO when I am pale it is a coral/peachy apricot with just the tiniest pink which together give a gently flushed look. With a (fake) tan it gives a more intense red/coral appearance – far more natural and complementary than all the bronze I've been dusting over my cheeks for years lol! The powder itself has a very subtle gold shimmer that lifts the colour and makes it look 'satin' rather than matte, it also adds to the youthful 'glow' it gives to the complexion. A little goes a long way so a tiny dab is all you need to build up – I prefer to apply it with a 187 or stipple type brush as it distributes the colour gently and evenly and you can build up as you go. Since wearing this I have had so many comments that I look well and my make-up looks beautiful and that has NEVER happened - EVER. Torrid also has fantastic lasting power and the colour remains true all day - So NARS you have been worth every penny. If I ever hit the pan I wouldn't hesistate to repurchase. Couldn't live without this now! (BTW it looks fabulous with YSL's Golden Gloss No.5 - the colours really complement each other and give a very polished look for summer)"

"Hell yeah im going to keep buying this again and again and again, gorgeous coral color, bought 2 days ago and im so excited by the pop of color this gives, nc45 for reference. Im going to get a few backups but don't think i will run out anytime soon, also looks divine when i topped it off w the multiple in south beach."

"I ADORE this blush!!! I'm a blush addict & have different colors for every mood-both cream & powder. Nars makes the BEST powder blushes IMO. If the famous blush of Nars is called Orgasm-then this one should be named Multiple Orgasm! I own both & find that Torrid has an extra burst of color-if u know what I talkin' about!;) Because of this factor it lasts longer & less product is used.Nars blushes last FOREVER & though way seem expensive definitely pay for themselves right away! IMO a blush with pop can awaken any face in no time. Torrid has an amazing tropical vibe about it & looks great with a tan! A Summer HG color for day & night! It is in my top 3 blushes of all time! My 2nd being Nars Angelika-another burst of color that glows pink. Great for a youthful, fresh vibe! 1st place being Smashbox OGlow. Reason being the color is universal, build able--& BEST OF ALL WILL LAST ON A 30 HOUR FLIGHT AROUND THE WORLD W/OUT WEARING OFF OR SETTING INTO PORES!!! Great for dry skin & those who travel often. Just a little extra info for my sweet darlings! xoxo!"

"gorgeous shimmery coral blush. Another winner from NARS! it looks a bit orange in the pan, but it applies to give off the prettiest coral flush. When I'm paler, it does tend to look orangey, so I don't really recommend this for lighter skinned ladies, but when I'm a little more tan, it looks AMAZING. I always reach for this during the hotter months. I'm a light skinned Asian FWIW. NARS blushes all have wonderful pigmentation and a great texture."

"I got Torrid in a whim - after finding out that Deep Throat was out of stock from where I was ordering - and, frankly, I didn't expect it to work. But it does!! Torrid is the warmer blush I've ever been able to pull off and that's because the genious who blended the color put enough pink or red in it to make it work for us who're pale and on the neutral/cool side. I'm NW15 and that's my first real coral blush along with the Portofino Multiple I got with it. I love that it's not orangey at all and it gives me a bright, glow from within, flush! Highly recommended even to those who are afraid of warmer tones. "

"This blush looks beautiful on my tan skin! It gives my skin a very healthy, fresh glow. I tried the "famous" Orgasm but all I could see was the glitter, so I went with this one instead and I am glad I did!
My MA did tell me that is not a very good "traveling" blush, it is ultra soft so if not handle with care it can crack easily, she told me to bring it back if it happens , so if yours did talk to your MA about an exchange if you bought it recently!"

"Torrid is my favorite blush. For years, i have been searching for a perfect blush that will make my cheeks look different from all other blushes out there. I am NC30 and have pinkish to almost reddish cheeks. I love the fact that sometimes i dont need to use a blush but of course as a makeup lover, i would like to see myself in different cheek colors. With all the blushes i have tried (i am looking at you MAC), most of them has the same effect on my cheeks. Just plain pink!!!
So, when i discovered Torrid, i was really happy with it. I dont like corals but after learning here in mua that Torrid is coral, WOW, i guess i like coral now. LOL!
Torrid seems to be the only peach blush that shows up on me. Yes, it is peachy blush on me with gold shimmers. The blush is very pigmented and i only need a little amount of this to achieve my desired look. One Nars blush will last you a lifetime.
The compact is nice. Although some ladies here said that the rubber packaging annoys them. But for me, it is very nice because it is sleek and easy to place in my makeup bag or in my wallet when all i need is a peachy glow. I also noticed that with all other makeup products that i have used, NARS has the best mirror!!! Yes, i compared it to Chanel, LM, GA, BB, i prefer Nars mirror for a quickie touch ups. "

"This is my first Nars Blush and I love it. I bought it because Deep Throat was out of stock and my Conter is miles away so I bought my second favourite but I'm glad I got this! The pro's are that it is a very unique colour (would not buy a colour that I could buy anywhere when Nars is so expensive)..it's a true coral with a slight gold shimmer but any glittery-ness can be eradicated by gently tapping the brush before application. The pigmentation lasts all day and it really brightens/warms up my complexion (for reference I'm neutral toned, neither NC or NW in Mac). On the down-sideI have to be careful of over apllication because I'm fair and it can go very 80's looking. So when I use this I use muted eyeshadows and lipgloss (taupe e/s and peachy/coral l/g) and then it doesnt compete with the blush which is a bit of a crime when the blush is so expensive! lol. Lastly, I find it looks good just on the apples of the cheek with a less pigmented soft pink blush spread up to the temples underneath it! Everyone should give this a little consideration instead of automatically buying orgasm as I do think this would suit most skin tones."

" own 5 Nars Blushes and this one is my favourite. It is a stunning coralie peach color that does wonders on my nc45 skin. i am south asian for refrence and I think if you are a nars and blush addict this is a definte must in you collection! "

"My favorite of all the NARS blushes. i have orgasm, luster, desire and torrid. it gives me a nice flush of color. i think its hard to find the same color from the other brands. im an nc35 and it looks good on me. "

"I had been on a quest to find a warm peachy/coral blush that would show up on my very warm/ gold toned NC45 skin and THIS is it! I tested this on my hand one day in Sephora and the color seemed right. I went home an thought about it and decided to put it in my online order since I was ordering Taj Mahal. This is perfect for me. I can put with either my blush brush or skunk brush for a really natural look pretty look. This is going to be perfect in the Spring/ Summer. It also looks good in combo with Taj Mahal. This probably wont look too hot on you if you have cool under tones or very light or very dark skin tones. It's a decent price for me for the amount of blush in the pan and how little it takes to get a good color pay off.'

Nars Taj Mahal

Taj Mahal:  Burnt orange with shimmer

Reviews

"Man .. I don't even know where to start in reviewing this piece of delicious-ness. Taj Mahal was one of the first NARS blushes I acquired, and while I don't reach for it often, my heart just goes pitter patter when it's a "taj-mahal-kinda-day". This blush is not for someone that wants an understated classic makeup look .. this puppy is BRIGHT ... it's orange .. it's B-O-L-D!! What I love about it .. it's unique. I have over 80 blushes, and this is the ONE blush in my collection that I can honestly say, is unlike any other blush I have. It's in absolutely infused with mind-blowingly beautiful gold shimmer. I'm a MMM/NC42, even I have to use a skunk brush with this thing. Would I repurchase .. YES, if I live 50 lifetimes to actually finish this! With this blush, you barely touch your brush to it, and it's enough to cover your cheeks, your neighbors cheeks, and the cheeks around the block! I rest my case! "

"This was my first NARS product and it instantly made me fall in love with this brand. The packaging looks chic(except for the fact that everything shows on it.) I picked this color since it looked unique compared to all my other blushes. Nobody makes a blush like this! The color is so pigmented that I tap my brush in it then shake it off. You need a really light hand other wise you will look like a clown. But when I perfected it, it gave me the perfect sunkissed glow. GREAT FOR SUMMER! I would definently buy this again but I don't think I will ever have to."

"I love this blush! Just bought it yesterday and I tried it for the first time today. I can wear it eventhough I am very fair skinned. The trick is to use the tiniest amount and blend blend blend. I used the NARS yachiyo brush and blended it right into the apples of my cheeks and slightly on my nose bridge. And I get a lovely sunkissed glow on the cheeks. Very pretty! As with all other NARS products you can never go wrong. Yes I will repurchase when I run out of it!"

"I have to say this is one of those daring colors that you have to be careful with but is absloutely gorgeous! Safest way to apply it is with the MAC 187 brush, gently swiped. Its the perfect shade for a red lipstick(MAC russian red) especially since red tends to make the face look pale. I would definately purchase this again. One of my favorite blushes."

"AMAZINGGG. when i first got this blush frokm my friend i was like WTF this is orange. then when i put it on it looked AMAZING! i found the best way to apply it is to tap your blush brush in the Taj mahal, then tap it off to get off any excess. then tap it on your cheecks and blend it in. it gives you a sun-kissed almost a little sun-burnt (in a good way) kinda look. this will be amazing in summer.
Refrence: i'm NW30-35"

" have brown hair and brown eyes with a medium skin tone or Y/O gold in prescriptives foundation just to give you an idea of what my skin tone is like. This blush works like a charm. It just gives you the healthiest and freshest look any blush could possible give. It's like you went on holiday in a sunny place and really rested. I think everyone should at least go to the NARS makeup counter and try it. You will be so surprised.
Like others have already said it is highly pigmented so one dab will do you. For me the blush lasts all day (meaning I put it on at 7 am and it's still on at 7 pm) which is the only brand of blush that I own that does. I love my MAC but I do have to reapply. Also this product is pricey but you need hardly any and it's just the best color around and very much worth it. So what are you waiting for...go try it!
Of Note: At the makeup counter, if you just stick your finger into the blush to swatch the color you will recoil as it will just be BURNT ORANGE. So do yourself a favor and have a MA put it on you with a blush brush. Then much happiness will occur.
p.s. I use 'exhibit a' on the the apples of my cheeks only with taj mahal as my main cheek blush and it's sheer perfection! So ok, try both :)"

"HG!!! I had been lemming this blush for like a year and a half. I would always swipe it on my hand but its a totally different effect on the face. I got this and Torrid at the same time. I have NC45, deep olive skin with a yellow/orange/gold undertones. This blush is like it was made for me. I kind of use it like a bronzer and it gives my face the beautiful glow. Like my skin is glowing from within. This will be my new go to blush. I tend to look washed out so this this gives my face some color without looking overly made up. I can apply this heavier with my 129 brush for a night out or I can apply with my 187. I can also combo this with another blush. It's very pigmented so this will last a while which is worth the 25 bucks."

"My new favorite blush. You will never find a color like this from any other brand. It is scarily pigmented and I loooovvvvveeee it. It would look great with a tan. This shit is ORANGE and you have to be careful. It makes my skin glow and I love it. Highly recommend for ethnic women."

Nars Nico

Nico:  Natural Glow

Reviews

"I think this product gets a bad rap because people buy it thinking that it is a blush. This is a mix between a highlighter and a contouring powder. Also, the texture is a bit different from the blushes- it is a bit grainier and more comes off on the brush with one swipe.
This doesn't show up as a color per se on my light-med skin, but I have found tons of other uses for it. First of all, I cannot blend anything on my face to save my life. Foundation, eyeshadow, blush, you name it. Nico is great at softening up those errors. One swipe over eyeshadow to calm it down. If my blush goes out of bounds, then all I have to do is swipe Nico above and below where it should have been and I have wh
