Nars Orgasm: Now a Lipstick

Nars

Lipstick in Orgasm, retails for $28 at Sephora or Ulta

Blush in Orgasm, retails for $30 at Sephora or Ulta

I love Nars lipsticks. Their Audacious formula is one of my top 10 lipstick formulas. In their regular lipstick formula, their color Banned Red is one of my top 10 all-time favorite lipstick colors. However, I honestly do not see the point of Orgasm as a lipstick. The pigmentation is nonexistent. It is a peachy sheer with faint golden sparkles. After less than an hour wearing this, the sparkles vanished and left my lips looking bare.

This is a Nars formula lipstick, so the comfort on my lips is top notch, I just don't see the payoff. I can get the same level of comfort from a drugstore lip balm that doesn't cost 28 bucks and probably has more color payout. If you intend on buying this as a lip topper don't buy the lipstick. You will get very little bang for your buck in adding a sparkly sheen to your center lip. If you want an excellent lip topper in an Orgasm-ish color, I recommend e.l.f.'s Pout Perfecter in Glow. It costs $3. (I do not own the Orgasm lip gloss so I cannot attest that it would or would not make a good topper.) I have to be honest, I'm not a fan of the Orgasm blush either. I do enjoy Nars blushes in other colors (Goulue). I know Orgasm has a cult following and is iconic for Nars. Nars has an entire page on their website dedicated to this color. They sell lip gloss, a multi-purpose stick (called The Multiple), Illuminator (liquid highlighter/all over primer), liquid blush, limited-edition powder Orgasm blush and their extra-sparkly spin-off Super Orgasm in any of the aforementioned formulas. Nars knows that this color has a cult following. They know what-ever formula they make, it will sell if it comes in Orgasm. 

I would not repurchase this lipstick (or blush) in Orgasm. I will buy more Nars, just in other colors because their formulas are fantastic.
