I was on the lookout for the NARS Orgasm blush, but they had run out of stock, so I was introduced to the "Multiple" Orgasm (I giggle everytime I hear that).
What NARS says:
"François Nars' iconic innovation, the original multi-purpose stick for eyes, cheeks, lips and body. Its unique creamy formula and sheer color blends effortlessly to create shimmering accents, contours or dynamic highlights on all skin tones. Apply with fingers: the skin’s warmth allows for perfect blending.

- Mistake-proof color; quick and easy to apply
- Sheer, natural finish for eyes, cheeks and lips
- Enriched with Vitamin E and açai oil for antioxidant benefits"
First impression had me thinking it looked a little like a stick foundation:
The packaging is nice and sturdy- I like how it's "no fuss" and can be thrown anywhere without fear of it breaking. BIG PLUS for a forgetful klutz like me.
The colour is a lovely peachy pink with gold shimmer (exactly like the blush). It has a very subtle colour payoff- the emphasis being on the "highlighting" rather than a blush.

As you can see, the product really comes to life when light is shined directly upon it.
The formula is cream to powder, and is very sheer allowing fool proof application. In these photos, I used it all over my cheeks and up to my brow bone in a "C" formation:
To be honest, I'm not really overwhelmed with this product. It's ok, I guess it's pretty but meh. I find I have to apply heaps of product to get any type of pay off whatsoever. It doesn't last that long either : (. For the price you pay, you may want to look elsewhere (ie Illamasqua Gleam Cream, Dior Diamonds, Benefit High Beam etc).
Also, because it's a cream product, you can't apply it over powder, so you need to pair it with a cream blush, contour etc. Cream products don't last on me, so this isn't ideal, personally.
So, unfortunately, this one was a bit of a miss for me. Maybe over time I'll begin to love it, but for the moment, I'll pass!
Have you tried this product? What do you think?
Keep it Haute!

I have that (in mini size) & I've used it just once (for blogging purposes, lol)! I much prefer the powder blush, but if you're wearing a liquid foundation and apply this, the powder orgasm blush over top will make it last forever. I think this stick is perfect to keep in your bag & use on days you're not wearing makeup but need to quickly make yourself presentable :)
