The Look For Less: A Blush and Bronzer Duo

The buzz around Nars Orgasm blush is huge, so much so that Nars has released multiple products based upon the peachy-pink hue. I've had my eye on the blush and bronzer duo ($37), which packages Orgasm with Laguna bronzer. Both are beautiful colors, but until I finish my full-size Orgasm blush, I can't justify buying it.

Then again, one drugstore brand is hoping you'll "cheat" with their lookalike product. To see the look for less, read more.


Eyes Lips Face clearly took a cue from Nars in creating its Contouring Blush and Bronzing Powder ($3). While the shades aren't identical, they're pretty close. And at $34 less than the original, it's a recession-busting option for anyone looking for an affordable "O" glow.

    My favorite blush and bronzer duo is Benefit 10, but the blush part is very light and almost like a highlighter.

    I would love this for summer, as long as the bronzer isn't too dark...my skintone is so fair. I absolutely love Orgasm blush though.

    I like it, probably won't try it though. I don't think it would work to well with my skin tone.

    Forget elf, I want the real deal!
    I've been wanting to try Orgasm blush, AND I've heard really good things about Laguna bronzer... This is the perfect duo, I'll be picking it up for sure.

    Lorac has a bronzer and blush compact as well...I cant remember the name of it, but its fairly decent. It might be less expensive, too.

    Orgasm doesn't look especially awesome on me, maybe it's a brown person thing and the knock off looks to light to work for me.

    I would love to try this much-talked-about blush, but the problem is I never wear blush because I can't seem to get it right; I always end up looking like a clown and despite all the 'suck your cheeks in and apply it on your cheekbones' -tips, I still screw it up. I guess I'll buy this as a gift for a friend or something Sad (at least in that case I could keep the Sephora Insiders sample that would come with it! hehe. j/k)

    I'm very fair skinned, and I've been using this Nars duo for ages. Both colours are so flattering separately or used together.

    ELF ends up clearly being cheap. I know, it's a good deal, but you REALLY get what you pay for with them. Buy the real deal this time around, ladies.

    This sounds like a great product, especially since the other fair-skinned ladies said the shades are flattering.

    I have almost a full package of Orgasm blush. For some reason it really washed my face out and I have fair skin....I thought for sure it would work on me. I use Nars Amour and like it. Anyone want a Nars Orgasm blush that's had about 3 uses? LoL

    Am I the only one who doesn't enjoy the shimmery quality of Nars Orgasm? Not for me, thanks.

    If you can help it don't buy from E.L.F. Not only are their products cheap (quality) but shipping takes forever. Try out mineral makeup instead, they are a much better for your skin! This is my favorite brand plus they have free samples! www.everydayminerals.com

    I like the Nars Deep Throat blush, but their names are enough to turn you red when people ask what you're using. Haha
