First there was Nars Orgasm blush and now, there’s SUPER ORGASM to save the day!! *cue fanfare*
Sorry its corny 🙂 But those were the first things that popped into my head when I saw the Nars Holiday 2008 offering.
For Holiday 2008 Nars has introduced a new improved Super Orgasm blush. According to Sephora:-
Super Orgasm takes NARS most celebrated shade and adds soft, golden speckles to give your contours and complexion a shimmering accent. The blush contains a universally flattering peachy-pink undertone and can be worn alone or layered together for more depth.
So, I guess we are looking at Nars’ Orgasm blush with added golden shimmer. Some preliminary reviews online have said that the gold sparkles are glittery and we are looking at a Super Disco-ball. But others have said that its lovely and more pigmented than Nars Orgasm with more pink than peach effects.
We don’t get Nars here in Malaysia so there’s no chance of me checking this out in person to compare with the regular Orgasm blush. If you can’t get hold of Nars Orgasm or Super Orgasm, try checking out the dupes for the Orgasm blush. Maybe you already have a similar one in your collection!
the color seems a little light. is there a nice color in that range beside this. if i have darker skin will this suit? i can get someone to pick it up for me from US.
Thanks.
Sssssuper Orgasm? Wow…I’m not sure if I buy into this.
Seems slightly sad that they are trying to cash in on the Orgasm name again.
Reminds me vaguely of all the 2nd editions in the movie/tv world…like the new 90210?? Eeyer…so uncreative…
@summer : Try looking up the other Nars blushes that I have reviewed. Orgasm is famous for not showing up on darker skin so another colour like Outlaw or Taos might be more suitable.
@Monstro: LOL yes I fully agree with you but you can’t blame the brands for milking their star product for all its worth! btw, seen the new 90210 yet? I’m curious 😛
The new 90210?
(If I watched it I wouldn’t tell you–I’ll just secretly enjoy it in my own privacy…)
😀
Ohh I was just talking about this Super Orgasm with my colleague, sad to say, i chickened out, I came back from HK without any NARS orgasm as I planned coz first, I have a couple of blushes now, 2nd, I felt queasy to buy stuffs that has a lot of dupes! It’s funny I even wanted to open your site there coz I remembered you did a “DUPE” test and I can’t remember a single dupe brand! LOL but I did thought of you! Really! 😛
@Nikki : Aww… you thought of me even in HK! 😀 I agree – there’s no point in having a lot of dupes of a product. Its a mantra I should remember and purge!
I swapped away the original “O’ , it is almost identical to FPP by Loreal lol
The Orgasm worked only so so for me, but I heard that this is a lot more pigmented compared to the Orgasm. I didn’t manage to see this in Sephora when I was in the US though.
As for the name, wah, what sort of look does a “super orgasm” give you lah? Hee hee!
@Tine : Um… super flushed cheeks? 😉
I had a few broken peach/pink/rose blushes that I grounded and mix with some Revlon Golden Lights shimmering powder. The result is quite nice and probably as close to Nars orgasm as I can get without splurging on another blusher!
To get Super Orgasm, all I had to do is to sweep another golden lights layer on my cheeks. Cheers.
