NARS 2018 ORGASM COLLECTION

Everyone wants an Orgasm!  For this reason, Nars Orgasm Blush has been provoking women to buy it since its debut in 1999.  However, the once pornographic word has become. well, not so pornographic. Today, the word is more empowering.  In addition, a lot went into creating the color of “that certain flush.” Moreover, the shade is different from all other blushes.  First, orgasm blends cool tones with warm tones. The Orgasm shade is a mix of pink, peach and gold shades.  As a result, the universal color gives you a natural-looking flush. The pigment allows you to apply it, depending on your mood, softly, or heavy-handed.  Also, the name itself still conjures allure to this iconic shade.  The Nars 2018 Orgasm Collection includes a limited edition over sized version of Orgasm  blush, an Illuminating Loose Powder, and an Afterglow Lip Balm.

You can find the Nars 2018 Orgasm Collection at Sephora and on the Nars Cosmetics Website.  The Over sized Blush retails for $39, The Illuminating Loose Powder retails for $28, and the Afterglow Lip Balm also retails for $28.

Nars 2018 Orgasm Collection New Limited Edition Over-sized Orgasm Blush

For all you Nars fans, the over-sized Orgasm Blush is a collectible!  Also, the blush appears darker than the ones from 1999.  I remember racing to Saks to purchase the pornographic blush in 1999.  However, the blush did not look good on my complexion.  Today, the blush appears darker.  In my opinion, I think the blush has more peach in it.  I remember the old formula was a lighter shade that leaned toward the pink side.  I asked makeup artist extraordinaire, Meredith, at the Sephora in King of Prussia, Both she and I agree that the 2018 shade has more peach mixed in.  Therefore, it now looks great on me too!

Nars 2018 Orgasm Collection New Illuminating Loose Powder

The new Illuminating Loose Powder is a silky, loose powder.

What makes this powder fabulous is it has lots of shimmer to amp it up. First, you can wear the powder on your cheekbones.  Also, you can wear the powder as a blush.  My favorite way to wear the illuminating loose powder is on my eyelids.  Actually, you can wear it wherever you want.  That’s what is fun about it.

Nars 2018 Orgasm Collection Afterglow Lip Balm

First of all, the lip balm feels creamy and buttery on your lips.  Also, it gives you a sheer wash of orgasm color.

Above all, it is packed with protective antioxidants to protect your lips.

Last But Not Least…….

The orgasm shade is universal .  Therefore, it looks good on everyone!  Furthermore, I love that it gives you a natural looking flush of color.  And yes, it really is “that kind of flush!”  Most of all, for me, the name itself still gives it an added allure.  However, it has been twenty years since its launch. Therefore, after two decades, I no longer feel shy purchasing an Orgasm product. As a matter of fact, I feel very “matter of fact” when I talk about buying an orgasm item.  We’ve come a long way baby, to get where we’ve come to today!  So, the next time you purchase an Orgasm blush, think about how empowered it makes you feel.  Makeup can be very empowering indeed.

What are your thoughts on the Orgasm products?  Have you ever felt funny buying an Orgasm product?  Do you still feel embarrassed?  Or, do you feel empowered?  Which new products do you want to try?  My favorite new product is the Illuminating Loose Powder.  I love that I can play with it and wear it in all sorts of places.  Let me know what you think in the comments below.  I love hearing from you, so don’t be shy!!!!  Feel empowered instead!
