Would You Buy It? NARS Orgasm Illuminator

Happy Monday chickets!

NARS Orgasm Illuminator X 1

Today the Muse is simply gagging over the joys of NARS Orgasm Illuminator. It’s already in my cart awaiting my credit card to click and ka-ching it’s way out of check out over at Sephora.

Question is….

Would you buy it?

I admit I’m ever so slightly obsessed with the NARS Orgasm shade. Some people think it’s a little too hyped up but I honestly love it’s peachy, pink finish and was delighted about the new NARS Orgasm Illuminator.

I don’t like cream highlighters or illuminators of any kind but I think I might be able to get on board with this. We shall see what I think when I get my sweaty little hands on it.

For now I’ll leave you with some of the promo photos from the NARS Spring 2010 Collection. Christina Aguilera also sported Orgasm Illuminator last night at the Golden Globes but it’s very subtle isn’t it? I expected a bit more pop! I do like the way it looks on the NARS model however but I’m more an apple of the cheeks kinda girl myself and this appears to be applied a bit more dramatically for my tastes. However, it does look considerably brighter and more lovely on the model than it did Christina.

I’m interested to see if I’ll like it. It’s available now from Sephora for $29 and you can multitask on body as well as face!

I love it on Christina…I don’t think I’d buy it, but it looks nice. I’m good with my normal highlighting products, but I don’t highlight often enough to justify buying this.

Reply

the Muse January 18, 2010 at 11:23 am

hey marina I rarely highlight but I was hopeful it would work great as a blush :-D !

Kristina January 18, 2010 at 11:44 am

I love Nars Orgasm blush but I’ll pass on this one for now. I have Clinique’s Up Lighting Illuminator in Natural 01 and I’m loving that for when I want a bit of shimmer or glow.

I would definitely buy this, it’s pretty high up on my wishlist right now, but I’m waiting to check it out in the store.

the Muse January 20, 2010 at 2:44 pm

sofab me too, I wanna swatch and play 1st :)

Lola January 18, 2010 at 11:02 pm

This is pretty off-topic, but I just have never liked or been able to buy (support) Nars after finding out that they test on animals. Their products look gorgeous, but I just can’t justify giving money to a company like that when there are plenty of other who DON’T test on animals :(

Reply

the Muse January 20, 2010 at 2:42 pm

hi lola I fear I don’t pay attention to these things on occasion when purchasing makeup/ I didn’t realize nars tested on animals.

Reply

Noussie January 21, 2010 at 12:49 pm

Sorry to butt in but i felt the need to step up and defend my favorite brand :P

NARS does NOT test on animals, being a big animal lover i wouldn’t support them if they did (i’d still be in love tho :P )

This was taken directly from the NARS website :

NARS and Animal Testing:
NARS Cosmetics does not and never has conducted any animal testing of any kind. Thank you.

Hope this clears it up :D

the Muse January 21, 2010 at 1:28 pm

that noussie! I’m glad to hear it :-D

Lola January 21, 2010 at 11:19 pm

Sorry, I should have clarified…NARS themselves DO NOT, but were bought by a company that does. Sorry for the confusion!! :)

jackieg02 January 18, 2010 at 11:21 pm

Nah, I don’t think I’d buy it. I do have Orgasm blush, but its not my fave color to use, on myself. On others I think it looks great.

Reply

the Muse January 20, 2010 at 2:41 pm

i love o blush jackie and super o :-D I still wanna try this though so tempting grrr!

Reply

Tina Matuchniak January 19, 2010 at 9:21 pm

Yes, definitely! I used to use Benefit’s hollywood glow, but can’t seem to find it anywhere now :( Definitely a must try.

BTW if you prefer mineral/powder illuminator, Laura mercier does one called candlelight that i really like.

Reply

the Muse January 20, 2010 at 2:31 pm

tina they really phased out alot of the older benefit goodies :( I think they might be going through a package revamp!

Must check the LM one out thanks :)

Reply

the Muse January 21, 2010 at 11:22 pm

thanks for the info Lola. I guess this doesn’t really apply considering NARS is not testing on animals even if it was purchased by another company :)
