NARS 20th Anniversary Orgasm Collection – Review & Swatches

NARS Orgasm blush just celebrated its 20th anniversary (that’s hard to believe actually), and a new limited edition Orgasm collection was launched. The collection includes a liquid highlighter, the Endless Orgasm cream palette with 6 shades to use on the face or eyes, an oil-infused lip tint and an Orgasm blush in limited edition packaging. I absolutely loved the packaging on all the products and if you are one to collect pieces from memorable makeup launches, I definitely think this is a collection not to miss.

I’ve recently been loving every single launch NARS has been putting out and find them all to be super wearable. Even though I am a huge fan of Orgasm blush and have been wearing it for years, this collection overall was just ok in my opinion. I don’t wear a ton of cream products so that is probably why it didn’t appeal to me as much as it would others. The liquid highlighter was pretty but too dark to be placed on my cheekbones and too shiny to wear on my cheeks because they tend to get oily especially in the summer. The formula felt nice and smooth but the shade wasn’t right for me.

The Endless Orgasm palette was great in theory, but too shiny to be used on my cheeks (which get oily during the day) and I found they creased too much when worn on my eyelids. For those with dry skin, this palette would be beautiful and the formula is creamy and blends easily. The oil-infused lip tint really impressed me because the formula feels like a smooth lip oil without any stickiness. The color looks best on my bare lips rather than layered over anything else because the iridescent particles change whatever color lipstick I’m wearing. As always, I love the Orgasm blush and recommend it to everyone because the shade looks beautiful on almost every skin tone. Overall, this collection wasn’t a hit for me personally, but think it could be perfect for those that prefer more cream or liquid formulas. The shimmer in both the palette and liquid highlighter was not too bold and would be suitable for daytime or evening.

Have you tried anything from this collection? What are your thoughts?
