Great Color & Value
-08.22.12
I normally use Orgasm blush by Nars, but thought I would try this one because it is less expensive. Upon receiving the blush I wasn't sure by looking at the color but I love how it looks on, it is very flattering. I highly recommend to anyone who likes a good bargain and a perfect peachy pink blush.

Love this. Usually don't like powders, but this one has a great peachy color and a bit of sheen that I love. Stays on all day, too.

I have pale skin and this blush was extremely flattering. It adds a natural looking flush and i'm sure it would look gorgeous on tan people as well.

Quick Take: gorgeous
I ordered this online after reading its reviews and thought I would give this a try. I have LOVED this blush since the first day I got it in the mail. It's a beautiful color with a nice shimmer, which really makes a nice summer tan pop, and very pigmented so I can see this lasting a long time(I have never needed to reapply either!). I wear this to work and when I am going out and its suitable for all occasions. I also tried this on my friend who has a slightly darker skin tone than I do and it still looked amazing on her. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone needing a new blush, LOVE IT!

Makes my skin glow!
-05.24.12
Quick Take: luminous sheen, natural looking
This looks darker in person than in the picture which scared me a bit as I am very fair skinned. I was surprised when I applied it that it WAS what I was expecting and better. This color and the slight shimmer makes me look like I have a natural peachy glow!
I have Nars orgasm collection and I must say I like this a lot better. This looks more natural and luminous.

Good blush
-05.15.12
I really like this blush. I bought it online and had not seen it in stores and it was slightly darker than I thought it was going to be but I ended up liking it. Note that I am fair skinned so others may not have this problem. And this lasts all day without having to reapply which is always nice.

Beautiful glow
-05.04.12
Quick Take: luminous sheen, natural looking
I have never been a fan of blush because I always felt it looked unnatural on me. I tend to go for bronzers that leave a bit of color and glow on my face. But I recently decided to break out of my comfort zone and try this blush, especially after reading all the rave reviews on it. I am SO glad I did because this color is beautiful. It doesn't give me that pink cheek look but more of a warm glow to liven up my face. I really like that it suits my medium/tan skin tone so well. It's not sparkly or glittery but has a nice sheen to it to make your skin glow. I LOVE this blush, AND it makes a beautiful eyeshadow too! I highly recommend!

Quick Take: luminous sheen, natural looking
I've always wanted to try NARS Orgasm blush, but it's just so expensive - I heard this was a dupe, so I gave it a try. I LOVE this! It's a beautiful peachy pink color with gold shimmer - NOT glitter. I had blushes with a lot of glitter in them, but this just has a nice sort of sheen to it without all that glitter fallout. It also lasts pretty well; I usually touch up halfway through the day, but you really don't need to with this blush. I will definitely re-buy when I run out!

Love the color!!
-04.11.12
Quick Take: luminous sheen, brightening, good for sensitive skin
This is the second time I have purchased this blush. I really love the color - it is an almost tri color blush due to the shimmer and the way the light hits the color. The color is a gorgeous peachy, pink - hint of coral with lots of shimmer. If you're not a shimmer person, this might not work for you. I just love the way this blush brightens my skin, it's an instant pick me up which makes this product exceptional!! My skin is medium with beige, pinky undertones and is extremely sensitive to products! This color is very complementary and doesn't break my skin out at all! I will repurchase after I run out!

This nice blush is an awesome alternative to Nars Orgasm. I really love this blush, awesome for those days when I just want a natural look. Great coral color with a bit a shimmer works great as an eyeshadow too. I am so happy with this blush.

My GO-TO Blush...
-03.26.12
Quick Take: natural looking, luminous sheen
I had been looking for a go-to blush for a while. I was told that because of my medium skin, that I should try peach toned blushes. So, of course like everyone else I went to go try orgasm, well as nice as that was, I felt it was more of a night out, and not something that I felt comfortable using everyday. I needed one that I can use anytime, anywhere, and I have really found it in this HOT MAMA blush. This is soft and subtle, so that I can wear to work, or church but still pigmented enough to give you great color on a night out. It looks absolutely beautiful, and natural when on. It does have shimmer, but nothing drastic, it's really just enough to give you a glow. For a night out look, I use my flat topped brush. This helps me grab more color, and get great contour. For an everyday pretty glow, I use with my large powder blush. Using different blushes will make a difference, and bring out the 2 sides to this awesome blush. LOVE IT!!

It's pretty close to nars orgasm with a little bit more gold to it. Not sparkle, but shimmer. It's really lovely and gives you a subtle glow.

I usually like baby pink blushes... but I was shocked by how gorgeous this brush looked on me... The pinky-peach hue adds a gorgeous colour on my cheeks! Love it.

Luminous pink shimmer and blush duo
-03.15.12
Quick Take: natural looking, luminous sheen
I came across this product on another site, and when I happened to come across it several days later I bought it on a whim. It's replaced my normal everyday blush and along with the sleek shimmer blends very well on fair skin. My only complaint is that the texture is so soft that even the softest brush seems to cut right into it; wasting the product and leaving lots of excess loose powder.
