NARS Supersized Orgasm

Every brand, if they're lucky, has their 'Hero' product. Or as I call it: The Pension Fund. Think Chanel No.5, Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin, Eve Lom Cleanser, Pixi Glow Tonic. 

When NARS launched Orgasm in 1999 we literally could not keep it in stock. Every single customer was interested in it - and it resulted in much joy instore with so many poor chaps sent in by their partners to ask for 'An Orgasm'. Bless.

NARS have always been my favourite blush brand. The packaging and the colours to me, make them pretty much stand-alone in the market. Orgasm is the perfect peachy-pink hybrid that suits most skins one way or another. 

To celebrate the launch of Francois Nars' first stand-alone boutique in Covent Garden next month, a new supersized Orgasm is being released and it it glorious. Designed collaboratively with Fabien Baron from Baron & Baron - who also had a hand in one of my other favourite brands - Viktor & Rolf's Flowerbomb and BonBon, the oversized compact is Limited Edition and has #whatmakesyoublush etched into the mirror, again, guaranteeing that I won't actually use it. *adds to the special pile*

The NARS Super Orgasm launches exclusively to the NARS Covent Garden Boutique on 1st June and nationwide 15th June priced £28.00

And when you're there - do check out the other blushes. It's hard to go wrong. Or you could always send in your man friend to ask for some Deep Throat.

NARS Spring/Summer 2012 - loveliness abounds

Last week I was invited to a NARS Masterclass showcasing the new colours for Spring/Summer -and what lovely colours they are. I don't cover a whole heap of makeup on this blog but its NARS. You have to wear NARS. It's the law. And frankly if you're woman over a certain age *coughs* and have yet to experience the joy of a NARS blusher making you look alive again - take my word for it. Get to a counter near you and ask for an Orgasm or some Deep Throat. At the very least a Mata Hari or just your regular Sin. What can I tell you - the man is filth.

Don't be fooled - while he may have 'questionable' names for his blushers - his quality is hard to match. This is high end at its best.

The stars of the show for me were the amazing new tinted moisturisers - with a base of waters from Francois Nars home of Polynesia, the seven shades promise to hydrate, brighten, provide antioxidant support and promote cell renewal while simultaneously offering build-able, glowing coverage. Skincare, coverage AND SPF. Marvellous.

NARS Tinted Moisturisers are £27.00 and available now from SpaceNK. The S/S Collection is on counter Monday and the website is taking pre-orders now.

God I love me some NARS.
