Hype or Hit: NARS Orgasm

nar orgasm

Ah NARS Orgasm a much debated about blush shade to say the very least. Some people love NARS Orgasm, sometimes people intensely hate it with a passion. For the longest time had a love affair with NARS Orgasm. Mind you it was an intense, passionate affair. I never understood why so many people hated it For me it was the perfect golden peachy pink! It made my cheeks look lively and lovely! And that lovely golden sheen was simply gorgeous.

I realized later that on why people hated it so much after a re-purchase. I got my first NARS Orgasm many, many years ago and I used it for well over five years without hitting pan. It was smooth, gorgeous, and perfect. However, upon a re-purchase the shade seemed to have a hell of a lot more shimmer than my original blush. This isn’t had as I like shimmer but I started realizing what people disliked about it. It was a lot of shimmer and it gave me a disco ball appearance if I was heavy handed. This wasn’t the case with my old Orgasm. None the less I still love the shade just not as much as the old version.

Is it a hit or way over hyped?

Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Rosa Excelsa

Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Rosa Excelsa joins the Dolce garden fragrance family this year with the sweet smell of rose petals in bloom. This new take on Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Floral Drops fragrance brings together notes of neroli, papaya, white water lily, daffodil, and gorgeous pink Turish rose absolute. A warm cashmeran and sandalwood with piquant spices make up the base of this fresh, floral fragrance.

I love the original Floral Drops bottle, I dunno there’s just something so feminine about it. The new Dolce Rosa Excelsa is just as delightful but this time it comes in a gorgeous frosted glass with the juice inside a pale pink and a crimson floral cap.

This one is one my list!

Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Rosa Excelsa is available now at Sephora.com.
