I may be one of the few women
addicted to makeup who doesn't own NARS Orgasm blush. I did acquire a deluxe sample of Orgasm Illuminator a while back as part of one of Sephora's Favorites collection. It has languished in makeup purgatory until recently, when I saw
a review from The Beauty Look Book comparing the Orgasm Illuminator to Tom Ford's new Beauty Skin Illuminator in Fire Lust. I enjoy reading about Tom Ford's cosmetic line, but the prices have kept me from indulging in anything, as I don't want to venture down that slippery slope. So I searched for my NARS Orgasm Illuminator and have been using it this past week - and I like it!
These light-reflecting liquids are supposed to enhance the complexion and create a shimmering incandescence. The effect is quite subtle, as it doesn't supply color so much as a soft glowing shimmer effect. I put a dab in my palm and then use a stipling brush to apply to my forehead, my upper cheeks and over my brows in a C pattern, and the bridge of my nose. It can also be blended with foundation or moisturizer for an all over glow.
The Orgasm Illuminator is a coppery peach with fine gold shimmer, but there are three other colors available: the more vibrant Super Orgasm which contains gold glitter, the pearlescent Copacabana, and the golden Laguna. They are $30 for 1.1 oz.
Do you use illuminating products or have a favorite? I usually forego them as they tend to make my already oily skin look too shiny, but I think this one is working for me.
Disclaimer: I purchased this.
Your skin looks awesome as always, the lip color is also very nice, what are you wearing?
ReplyDeleteI own two things from nars, mini laguna bronzer and the body bronzing oil, both of which came from sephora favorite sets. I wish I can get some nars blushes, but the price is too high, and don't even get me started on tom ford stuff haha
Ah thanks, as I always think my skin looks bad. We are usually our own worst critics, aren't we?
DeleteOn my lips I'm wearing a mixture of OCC's lip tars Divine and Melange. Those are another slippery slope, as once you start collecting them, it's hard to stop:-)
Oh hahaha, I have wanted a set of lip tars since Christmas, I will try to stay away, for now....
