Week 4, Day 3. Shimmery Blush--Nars Orgasm

Nars Orgasm, just saying the name to my mom would make me blush.  Orgasm is meant to duplicate the natural glow that a women gets after, um, er, uh, you know, sex.

 Now that that is out of the way, I want to apologize for the ugliness of my Orgasm.  I know it isn't all pristine and attractive like some of my blushes, but in my opinion all blushes are beautiful, even ones showing an obscene amount of pan.  I received this as an extra in a swap , so I can't take credit for all the pan that's showing. 

So, here it is, eek!  What color is Nars Orgasm exactly.  I've heard it called peachy, pinky, peachy-pink, and pure shimmer with no color payoff at all.  In my opinion (keep in mind my pale, cool-toned skin) it is pinky-peach with a hint of coral and golden shimmer.

Obviously it would look different on each individual's skin. It is a little hard and gritty in texture compared to some of my other blushes (like R&R and Chantecaille), but it does give a nice glow.  It's a generous size, but the rubber packaging isn't my favorite.  As far as the level of shimmer, I would give it about a 8.5 on the shimmer scale, where 0 is matte, 5 is glowy, and 10 is glittertastic.  The shimmer is fine and not clunky, but not as fine as the Dior Shimmer Star from yesterday. 

If you like the color, I hope you can have your own Orgasm soon!  Tomorrow will be a lovely pinky raspberry blush--Lancome Shimmer Pink Pool.  =)

Week 3, Day 4. Peach Blush--Laura Mercier Orange Blossom

Today's blush is a shimmery pinky-peach beauty!  This is Laura Mercier's Second Skin Cheek Colour in the Orange Blossom shade. This is a beautiful, subtle blush that would work for fair-medium skin tones.  It is the pinkiest of this weeks blush selections, but I'd still say it is peachy.

Laura Mercier blushes don't get a lot of attention--they're not flashy, but they are lovely, subtle, and glowy.  They have a very nice texture and blend beautifully.  This is one of the shades with some shimmer.  It might even be too much for some people.  If you can handle the shimmer, then be prepared to be wowed by this gorgeous blush. This is just one of the shades of LM blush that I think every woman needs.  There are a few other shades that are gorgeous, too. ( Lotus Pink is amazing!)

As I said, it's the pinkest of the colors, with no real orange tone in it at all.  It also avoids the terracotta and brown/nude tones of some peach blushes. There is no scent and these LM blushes fit nicely into the newer palette system.

Tomorrow, is another wonderful day with Cargo Blu_Ray Peach blush.  The best, basic, true peach that is easy to wear!
