Highlighting/Bronzing Blush Duo
Orgasm/Laguna
I am starting to experiment with my bronzer collection again. I have a drawer full of bronzers ranging from shimmering golds to burnt sienna. Many bronzers are leaving my face dirty and persimmon-looking. This is the first time I have played with the Laguna bronzer. This is a cool toned russet shade with some shimmer. It gives a real sun effect without all the potential skin damage.
At first glance, I thought this Nars duo looked eerily similar to my Philosophy's Supernatural Mineral Blush Duo in pink/bronze. That is until I did a side by side test. Nars Orgasm is warmer and more vibrant than the Philosophy's pink shade. This pink shade is actually more opalescent apricot. The bronzers are also vastly different. The bronzer from Philosophy is warmer.
I brought both duos to work yesterday. I tested the Nars on my co-worker Millie. Millie has the most amazing caramelish tan.
A deep tan is not in the cards for me.
I have learned to appreciate my "ghost" pallor and turn to bronzers for my color and oomph.
Orgasm and Laguna looked 1000 times better on Millie.
This killed me.
If I was any kind of friend I would give her my duo.
But I am selfish pale creature with tan envy.
It retails for $37 and is available at your local Nars counter.

I use NARS Zen as a bronzer (instead of Laguna) along with my Orgasm. They are lovely together!
I use Cargo's bronzer in Light. I am very pale, so it is one of the few bronzers that doesn't make me look dirty or ridiculous.
I have heard good things about Zen, as Anonymous said above...have been meaning to try it, but am pale and therefore frightened! Lol:0
I too am a pale skinned creature and my top picks to avoid the Pig Pen look are Laura Geller Bronze and Brighten in Fair, Josie Maran Bronzer in Light and Guerlain's new Summer Stones.
Hi Sarah, Sometimes I use NARS Zen as blush. It is real versatile color - I love it!
I am absolutely and totally loving the Sugar tropic tan blush & bronzer duo. The bronzer is natural and not too dark and the blush is a perfect natural peachy pink that is not too much for my rosacea.
Orgasm doesn't look good on you? I thought it looks good on everyone!
Anna: I own and love Orgasm...but it looks amazing and 1000 times better on my co-worker Millie. I always thought it looked better on paler skin...but she proved me wrong.
If I was a better friend I would give it to her...but I am selfish. LOL
