just uttering the words Nars very Orgasm blush ($25), makes my cheeks flush with embarrassment. maybe it was all those Sunday morning Catholic masses, LOL. All I know is when I say the name of this blush, I feel the need to cover the ears of small children (and pets) within the vicinity.
All awkward name issues aside, I have to give very Orgasm props. It begets cheeks with a perfect, just-pinched, shimmery peach color. very Orgasm blush would completely be the stuff of legend if it weren’t for one flaw — massive, meteoric, chunks of golden glitter.
ANNONSE
Nars holiday Collection 2008
Rich, Pigmented Color… YES!
Released as part of the Nars holiday 2008 collection, very Orgasm is the amped-up version of Nars’ best-selling Orgasm Blush, touted for years in charm mags as a widely flattering shade for a boom-chicka-wah-wah glow.
Unfortunately, the light, peachy-pink color never dealt with my tanned skin. instead of a post-O flush, my cheeks looked candy-colored and clownish. Eeek!

But very Orgasm’s darker, much more intense pigmentation works for me. It’s so saturated with color that just one layer produces a beautiful, golden, peachy-pink glow. Oh yes, yes, yes!
Big, chunky Glitter… NO!
But then comes the glitter.
Sukk.
There’s lots of it. The pieces are very big and unevenly shaped, so they don’t sit on the skin well. many of the time I see flecks sticking up on my cheeks!
Also, the glitter pieces migrate like a flock of Canada Geese, flying off my cheeks and landing on my nose, chin and forehead.
The good News: It looks great in Photos
There’s one thing that saves this blush, and that is it photographs well. In pictures the glitter isn’t as obvious, and the shimmer looks dewey, not oily.
Despite my issues with very Orgasm’s deposits of gritty gold glitter, I’m still going to keep this around. I figure if I use it very sparingly I can avoid looking like I just escaped a tranny group hug!

In the future I plan on using very Orgasm just as an accent color. next time I wear it, I think I’ll use Nars Torrid blush (a shimmery coral gold) on the cheeks and then pop very Orgasm on the apples to add some dimension.
