Reader Review of the Day: NARS Lip Gloss in Orgasm

BellaSugar — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 13:00:03 -0800

Unless you've been hiding under a rock, you'll know that NARS Orgasm blush is a favorite of makeup artists and customers alike. The warm pink shade with golden shimmer really does seem to flatter most skin tones. Last year, the iconic brand with the iconic product introduced a lip gloss and nail polish in the same shade. But, when reader Mizz_Jennii tried NARS Lip Gloss in Orgasm ($24), she wasn't that impressed, calling it "easily duplicated." Ouch. Here's her review below:

I had to try this gloss after hearing so much great stuff about the blush and nail color. OK, not impressed at all! It's a pretty color - very universal. I prefer my MAC Lipglass in Nymphette: same color match and it's cheaper!

New Product Alert: Nars Orgasm Set

Ah, it's here: the Nars Orgasm set ($30). If you're not aware, Orgasm began as a beautiful pinky-peach blush with a hint of shimmer (and a long list of celebrity fans). It later became a Nars multiple, a lip gloss, and now it's a limited-edition nail polish.

The blush really does live up to the hype: It gives a great glow with just the right amount of color, so it's my daily go-to shade. (Psst, Revlon makes a clone that's pretty close, too.) I bought the lip gloss a couple of years ago, and while it's a pretty color, it isn't as much of a must-have. But now that the polish is available, I've ordered the set. At $30, it's actually a good deal for Nars - and the way that shade looks in the bottle is reason enough to have yet another Orgasm.

Nars Is About to Have Another Orgasm

You've no doubt heard the hype about Nars Orgasm, the blush turned lip gloss turned Multiple. It's a slightly shimmery, peachy-pink shade that is consistently a best-seller. I think some of the buzz is just due to it having a salacious name, but some of it's due to Orgasm being a gorgeous color. While the lip gloss is just okay, the blush is really beautiful, and it's the one I reach for most often.

So, if you're already inducted into the Orgasm cult, you'll be glad to know that this spring, Nars is releasing the color as a limited-edition nail polish. Like the recent sold-out Zulu polish, it'll be a Sephora exclusive. And I'm going to wager that it'll be available only to Beauty Insider members, so if you want to snag it, you know what to do...

New Product Alert: Nars The Multiple in Orgasm

BellaSugar — Mon, 01 Oct 2007 08:00:28 -0700

OH! YES! BABY! As part of its Holiday 2007 collection, Nars has created a new Multiple highlighter stick ($36.50 at Sephora) in the legendary cult favorite shade Orgasm - a color that has remained one of the company's best sellers since it was launched.

This creamy, shimmery pinky-peach highlighter/blush seems to fall somewhere between other Multiples South Beach and Maldives (I told you I'm a beauty junkie).

Typically this shade looks the most flattering on ladies with olive skin, but trust me when I say that this color somehow manages to flatter all shades of skin: its famous fans range from SJP to Marcia Cross to Jennifer Lopez. Get your credit cards ready, because once you see this mind blowing, earth shattering, toe-curling color, it's bound to fly off the shelves!

Cult Favorite: Nars Blush in Orgasm

Since this week is super blush-centric, I thought I'd pay tribute to the queen of all blushers: Nars Cosmetics Blush in Orgasm ($25). When it first launched, girls giggled then oohed and aahed over the sexy name. In time, product sales shot to the moon and the lengthy wait lists became no laughing matter - attaining Orgasm was nearly impossible! Luckily, production came through and now there's enough Orgasm to go around.

This blush has the largest following I have ever seen. It's a shimmery pinky-peach shade, typically reserved for those with olive skin tones. However, this particular color has a special je ne sais quoi that makes it universally flattering.

If you don't believe me, check out the range of celebrities who live for their Orgasm: Amanda Peet, Jennifer Lopez, Katie Holmes, Mandy Moore, Marcia Cross, Mary Louise Parker, and Victoria Beckham. (And you wonder why they always look so shiny and glowing!)

Love It or Hate It? Orgasm Cosmetics

What is it with beauty companies and climaxing? Nars created the cult-classic Orgasm blush years ago, and it's become a best seller for the company since then. Now, a line of nail polish from Orgasm Cosmetics takes things one step further. The polishes invite us to "feel the passion of color" with names such as Private Time, Dripping Wet, and A Very Kinky Pinky. What do you think of the concept - cheeky and fun, or too graphic and gimmicky?
