Oh Francois Nars and your crazy product names! Orgasm, Deep Throat… Super Orgasm!? Don’t need to tell me twice what was on your mind whilst naming these blushes 😛
But names aside, Sex Appeal is part of the NARS Holiday 2010 collection. It is a very sheer matte powdery soft pink blush, that was a mouthful!
It applies incredibly sheer, on my NC20 skin it gives me a very faint flush of colour, which by the end of the day is barely visible. I wouldn’t recommend this particular tone to anyone much darker than me, as it just won’t appear. It would work as a subtle glow for people with very fair skin tones. (But if you insist of using this, try applying a cream blush before hand to prime the cheeks)
Colour aside, the quality is typical of NARS blushes, silky smooth and applies seamlessly. A tad powdery, no scent and lovely packaging that comes with a mirror.
This is not a must have blush since it will only “appeal” (see what I did there!?) to a limited group of people, I personally will only use this when I wear foundation and want a very soft pink flush because the natural redness on my cheeks counters any pigmentation I get from this blush.
I think these blushes are named such sexual names because you’re supposed to blush when reading them 😀 😀 😀 ! Okay. That was random but LOL. Blush hahahaha. It just clicked in my head randomly xD
LOL! That’s a really good theory actually~~ I’m totally keeping that one 😀
I thought of getting this when it was first released since I am really loving all the NARS blushes I’ve got, but yeah, just doesn’t show up on my skin! From the swatch, seems to work well on you though, which is great! NARS blushes are the best!
Same! I love NARS blushes, but yep even this one barely appears on my skin so it’s not very versatile~ Still lovely though 🙂
