OK i'm not a blush expert. In fact i never used to wear any...I tried a bunch and always thought it looked too much...too fake..I bought this a couple of months ago and i love it!!..I have a pretty fair sking especially in winter and i tend to look kinda sick.

I tried this in Torrid and i love it! It makes a huge. difference! i now look "healthier" Its a bit of a splurge but in my case was worth the money has i've had it for a while!

After writing some NARS reviews yesterday, I couldn't stop thinking of them/salivating over their products in my mind, so I headed to the mall LOL NOT very discliplined, I admit :-)

The saleswoman kept on insisting on Orgasm - saying it's the most popular bla bla bla, which I personally think is highly overrated and had by everybody. Which also turned me off it completely, even though I like the color and always have. And don't get me started on Super Orgasm. An orgasm of what? Tacky gold sparkles meant for a 12 year old at a sock-hop?? Hideious! *shudder*..... instead, I got this shade, Deep Throat, which is gorgeous. I must say though, I find some of the names NARS comes up with laughable LOL The woman even tried to sell me a Sex Machine lip gloss! Seriously, NARS?? Do you guys at the company actually believe WE will believe that your products are going to turn us into instant sex machines or give us a SUPER mind-blowing ORGASM?? I certainly hope that there aren't any women out there that bubble-headed *sheesh* I mean, they are marketing to intelligent WOMEN, are they not? Seriously, the ridiculous, boring & after a while predictable names almost made me walk the extra 15 feet to the MAC storefront.....almost :-)

Anyways, on with the product and forget about their juvenile, sex-laden marketing :-) Deep Throat (I'm guessing the people who name these products don't get much of any sex themselves, thus the stupid monikers) looked to me in the store to be very similar to Orgasm (Super Orgasm is UGLY with big gold flecks in it, which do NOT rub down - wouldn't look good on anybody). However, this looks a little bit more pink. I immediately took it out to my car and swatched it on the back of my hand. All I can say is STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL. Kinda shimmery, yes, it definitely is NOT a matte blush, but the color.....I nearly had an orgasm looking at it haha :-) Their blushes can be deceiving because they are SO bright in their containers but can go on so sheer and beautiful. AND, if you prefer bacon strips on your face, it can also be built up to provide more color LOL But word of advice: bacon strips >> BAAAD! And I don't mean as in 'bad @ss either :-)

I just swatched it again now next to my MAC Mineralize blush in Dainty and one of my IT Cosmetics blushes I got in a holiday set to compare. Similar, very VERY close in tone to my IT blush - which is TOO shimmery - but Dainty is more peachy-pink, whereas Deep Throat is more pinkish gold in tone AND more pigmented. They both, however, have almost the same finish. Slightly shimmery/satiny, but not to the point that it will magnify every pore and line on your face, fairly sheer yet buildable and a super pretty, natural color. This is definitely a blush for every day, but can be applied more heavily for nights out or even blended with another pinkish-bronze or peachy-bronze color. Which is what I did before going out to dinner with my husband late last night. It shows up very well under low lighting without making you look like a drunken clown. There is also more product in it than MAC's product, a fairly significant amount. Deep Throat is 4.8 grams and my MAC Mineralize blush in Dainty is 3.5 grams. That's a pretty big difference and would somewhat explain the difference in cost between the MAC blush and the NARS blush. No, this is NOT a cheap blush by any means, but I feel I got what I paid for, which is often not the case when purchasing even high-end makeup.

Would definitely buy this one again. The container doesn't look large simply because they don't use a lot of extraneous plastic to make it appear larger than it is, but it is FULL of product. It's a beautiful velvety matte black feeling compact that fits in the palm of your hand, very sturdy and would not break easily, with a good quality mirror in it and the blush. That's it. But for all its simplicity, it has far better/high-end-looking & feeling packaging than MAC, which has no mirror and a much cheaper, less attractive plastic container with a lot of empty space under the blush itself. I gotta say, I love my MAC blush but love this even more :-)

This is my LEAST favorite NARS blush, I must say. Orgasm is ok, nothing as great as is raved about, but this one with the shimmery gold in it just does absolutely NOTHING for me. I didn't even like the way it looked in its package. When I actually did try it, I found it highlighted pores and lines and was not at all attractive. If I had the face of an ogre, I could understand, but it ain't that bad LOL

Overrated, over-hyped, overpriced. The quality is the same as other NARS blushes, but would NOT buy this one. Not buy a long shot.

Love NARS blushes, all of them, but find that Orgasm is far overrated. Especially the one with all the huge gold flecks in it. Will be picking one up this weekend for sure as I have been putting it off for a while now due to the price. But as always, I have finally justified it in my little head (will last forever, amazing pigment, little goes a long way) and will bite the bullet. Will add it to my collection of MAC, Smashbox, mineral blushes, etc. Why I even bother denying myself is beyond me, because I always wind up buying the products anyways. I am so full of it :-)

This is always my staple go to blush, it works great for everyday as well as special events. This shade is so popular for a reason, it looks absolutely amazing on almost everyone. Nars pigments can't be beat in my opinion. They are simply the best especially for shadows. I recently bought their jazzed up version called "super orgasm" and I loooooove it! I get compliments all the time! It's essentially the same color with a little more sparkle and iridescence. Nars blushes last me a long time too even when I am using it every day, definitely worth the price.

Great product! Timeless its something that you will always own! Goes with all skintypes adds a amazing touch of color1

I LOVE this blush. It's a beautiful corally pink with a golden frost.
This is NARS' most famous product, because it is a universally flattering shade. Its very nicely pigmented for a blush and it gives you the most gorgeous golden glow when it hits the light. its almost a blush and highlighter in one because it definately makes your skin look glowy and beautiful when the light hits it. One thing I dont like about this product is the price. Its very expensive for a blush, but personally, i think its worth the splurge. If its too expensive for you, it is possible to find cheaper dupes in the drugstore, so just keep an eye out. :)

I love this blush. I was a bit skeptical at first but to be honest, the reason I like it, is that it looks good all the time. I can COUNT on it to look good. It's like the LBD of blushes, easy to use, easy to put on, looks good with any makeup I have on. I love it. =]

Decent blush but nothing spectacular! very basic, easy, natural looking.... slight shimmer to it, goes on nicely,smoothly, it's buildable. Pigmented yet sheer. Peachy rosy tint...

I love this color! Goes nice with my skin tone and pretty natural. I've received a few compliments on it.
