Who doesnt know about the famous NARS blush in Orgasm? Its name makes a lot of people uneasy lol.
Its either you will love this blush or you won't. It is a pigmented peachy pink blush with lots of gold shimmer. You have to be careful when applying this blush. Make sure you don't dip your brush too much. When applied on the cheeks, the shimmer turns to a pretty gold sheen. Its just so pretty. Obviously, this is not your everyday blush.
It retails for $25.00 with tax, its almost $30.00. If you are a makeup lover then you would call this an investment ^_^
I be purchased at any Sephora stores or http://www.sephora.com/

The possible DUPE. Mark's Good Glowing blush in After Glow.
It is a peachy pink blush with gold shimmers too. It looks more peachy pink in the pan, but when swatched, Its looks more of a bright baby pink. Its pigmented as well so a little goes a long way. It also gives a nice gold sheen when applied on the cheeks. On the other hand, its a bit powdery but nothing too crazy. Just tap off the excess on your brush :)
This retails for $6.00 by itself. You will have to buy a separate case for $4.00
can be purchased at my E-botique http://rceleste.mymarkstore.com/
with flash. You can really see the gold shimmers or reflects.

Swatches!!! I did my very best to show you how they would look on the skin. I had to take a bunch of photos and I picked the best one. They are swatched heavily with concealer underneath.
LEFT = Mark RIGHT= Nars

Both in their packaging.
If you dont like shimmers then these blushes are not for you. On the other hand, these are very awesome blushes. After glow is not an exact dupe for Orgasm but its a very close one. After Glow is more brighter pink than Orgasm. Also, Orgasm has more gold shimmers in it.
I like both of them. You cant go wrong with either one. If you care about the price then go for Mark's After Glow ^_^
remember Mark's After Glow can be purchased at my E-botique http://rceleste.mymarkstore.com/

ReplyDeleteThere are tons of dupes for that NARS blush!
ReplyDeleteThat Mark blush is super pretty.
ooohh.. that looks like a good dupe. I love nars orgasm. I use a fan brush just so it doesnt get too crazy for daytime hehe. Super Orgasm looks good too but the gold glitters look a little too big imo :)
ReplyDeleteIt really is pretty close! Thanks for sharing with us. :)
ReplyDeletewoww def a veryyy close dupe! im starting to run low on my orgasm blush so maybe this is an alternative! lol thx!!
ReplyDeleteorgasm is a famous nars blush. i agree with you on that matter.
ReplyDeletekapag bibili ako ng blush sa nars, talagang ipipilit ng makeup artist sa akin yan!!!
hindi talaga ako bumibigay! haha! try ko muna yung mga gusto ko bago orgasm... kasi laging may stock naman ang orgasm dito sa manila...
mwah!
that is a super great dupe :D and yeah buying orgasm is a HUGE investment!
ReplyDeleteThe mark blushes look like they are great quality! Very similar to the NARS cult favorite. I can never get enough blush!

I wanted to get Orgasm when Sephora first opened here last year, but I already ordered TheBalm Hot Mama online and when I saw Orgasm in person they looked too similar so it wasn't worth buying.
ReplyDeleteJust stopping by. You have a nice site. Be sure to visit mine. 8-)
ReplyDeletei love the name on that blush mark!!! hehe it kinda reminds me of someone.. ur products are great btw
ReplyDeletewow they look pretty similar! :)
ReplyDeleteThey look similar for sure, I'd def go for Mark. Though if Nars Orgasm actually gives you an orgasm while putting your blush on, I say that Nars is a better deal. LOL.
ReplyDeleteYour bf is renovating his place? Awww that's so handy, I wish my bf can do handy work like that... Yeah furnature is so expensive... I just don't care anymore and spend now, cuz it's all sunk cost that I have to spend anyways... And I don't really want a soil couch from 2nd hand store either hahaahha
clever that's pretty similar :) buti may cheap alternative ...winner!!
ReplyDeletelol@pop will gives orgasm while putting your blush on haha
LOve Nars Orgasm :)
ReplyDeletehaha i would actually use blush if i didn't already naturally blush so easily. lmao
ReplyDeleteThis is probably the blush that comes closest to NARS orgasm. I've seen a lot of wanna be dupes but this one appears to be a really close if not exact dupe of the infamous blush. Sadly though, I don't think we have Mark here in the Philippines.
ReplyDeletethis is such a great dupe! never found anything so similar! too bad mark. is not available here in the philippines. :(

ReplyDeletelove lots,

wow. after glow sure does look a lot like orgasm. :) for a WAY better price too. plus, it has that pretty sparkle that orgasm has. and yes, honestly speaking, i do like the name after glow better. haha... sometimes, i feel like turning red when my co-workers ask what blush i'm wearing while wearing the orgasm one. lol.
ReplyDeletei call it "the really pretty blush with a really sick name." lol.
the other dupe i've been seeing is the elf one too. hopefully there'd be dupes of deep throat too. (yeah, another uneasy sounding name.) that color is pretty as well. :)
Cool comparison of products and shades.
ReplyDeleteI have this mark. blush but I'm not sure it fits my skin tone. It,s a little too bright for me, but it's sad because it's a gorgeous color!
