Blush is probably one of those things I go through phases with, out of my pretty sizeable blush collection there has been one constant that I reach for, NARS Orgasm. A pink shade with a hint of peach and visible peachy gold shimmer. The overall effect giving a pinky glow. It's one of those 'don't really think about it' products that you can throw on and go without worrying if it works with the rest of your makeup. NARS blusher is everything you one would expect from a highend blush, decent packaging, good longevity and pigmentation and great texture. The way it wears on the skin is decent too, around the eight hour mark it wears off the skin naturally as opposed to clumping together or highlighting pores.
A great cheaper alternative at £3.49, would be 17 Cosmetics Blush in First Kiss, which is the closest dupe but includes slightly more pink, unlike most low end blush the formula isn't chalky and actually looked the same on my cheeks as NARS orgasm (yes I did the half-face test & compared!)

I love Nars Orgasm. I used to wear it EVERY SINGLE DAY! It is one of my favorite blushes. I will definitely look out for the 17 Cosmetics brand, have never heard about it.
