Nars Lipgloss

Admittedly I am not a huge lipgloss person, I don't often bother wearing them. However, on the occasion that I do, my favourite lipglosses are from Nars. The biggest plus about these glosses is that they aren't sticky. I tend to wear my hair down a lot and absolutely hate getting my hair stuck in lip gloss, which isn't a problem with these. They have a really pretty colour range and the three I have are  called Turkish Delight, Orgasm and Ophelia. I also quite like the packaging of the lipglosses which is just really simple and sleek. The glosses come with a doe foot wand applicator, which I prefer over brush applicators. My main issue with these glosses is the smell. They have quite a potent, plastic smell, which I really dislike. However, if you can get past the smell, they are a really good range of lipglosses. I bought mine from ASOS (link here) and they cost around €24. 

Turkish Delight, Orgasm, Ophelia

Turkish Delight

First up is the shade Turkish Delight, which is described as a pink sherbet. I had heard some good reviews about this shade and decided to try it out. It's quite a milky, light pink which is noticeable on the lips. I have quite pale skin so I like light pinks on my lips on occasion, though I would recommend swatching the shade in person if you have a darker skintone to ensure it suits. 

Orgasm

Next is the infamous Nars shade Orgasm, which is also available in other products (Orgasm blush reviewed here). Orgasm is described as peachy pink with shimmer, which I think is pretty accurate. The golden shimmer is noticeable on the lips, though I don't particularly mind this. I think this is a great pick for summer as it would look great with a tan. 

Ophelia

Lastly, I have Ophelia, which is described as a strawberry nectar. I will admit I was drawn in part to this shade because of the name as I was studying Shakespeare's Hamlet at the time. Out of the shades I have Ophelia is probably my favourite as it's a pretty natural colour. It is a little bit sheerer than the other two shades as you can from the photo of the swatches above. 

Have you tried any Nars lipglosses or do you have any lipgloss recommendations?

Nars Orgasm Blush

The Nars blush in Orgasm is somewhat of a cult beauty product in the beauty world. I would say it is probably the most raved about blush on the market and it's status was definitely a contributing factor when I bought it. Orgasm comes in the standard Nars blush packaging and will set you back around €29. I bought mine from Asos.com (link here). Nars also sell the shade Orgasm in a lipgloss, illuminator and multiple.

Orgasm is probably Nars's most famous shade, in part because of the controversial name. In terms of colour, Orgasm is described as a peachy pink with shimmer. As you can see from the photos, there is quite a lot of gold shimmer running through the product. However, as it is quite finely milled, there are no issues with fallout and you don't end up big chunky bits of glitter across your cheek. The shimmer just helps to give your face a bit more of a glow. Part of Orgasm's cult status is due to universal nature of the shade. I have pale skin and enjoy wearing it and think it would look beautiful on more medium skintones as well. I think Orgasm is a lovely choice for summer months as it compliments a tan beautifully. 

While I do like Orgasm, I find myself reaching for the Nars blush in Deep Throat (previously blogged about here) more.

Have you tried any Nars blushes?
