Nars Deep Throat. We're just going to gloss over the repellent name. I grabbed this recently when it appeared on Buyapowa as I knew it was a much loved blush by many.
It looks to be a pale orange with a small amount of gold shimmer, not quite peach, but there is also a dollop of pink in there for good measure. The packaging is the usual rubberised compact, looks smart for about five minutes before it's covered in dirt and finger prints, but otherwise a great design.
For me, this is very much in the same family as Orgasm, it's similar in hue but paler and marginally less pink I think. On the cheeks this is a very natural shade.
I have to say I do regret buying this one. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it, it is I suppose even quite pretty, but for me, it's just a bit....meh. I like my blushers to have a bit of something about them, and despite my one time moaning about Orgasm, I do actually prefer it.
As I say, this looks nice enough, and it performs very well indeed, it's just not something I needed in my rather extensive collection of blushers.

I've bought a couple of Nars blushes (including Deep Throat) to understand the NARS hype and I must say I don't get it. I mean they're fine but do they really deserve their status of cult products? For me- no!
ReplyDeleteThey are nice, and although at first I totally didn't get orgasm, it grew on me and I kind of get it, this one is nice too but it's just a bit... meh. But thats my downfall really, not doing subtle too well!
DeleteI recently rediscovered this colour and I am in LOVE with it! LOVE!!!!
ReplyDeleteit looks lovely on you!
You're right, it is a nice colour and it does suit me, I don't know whats wrong with me!
DeleteThis is one of my favourite NARS blushes but it looks totally different in the pan and on my cheeks- much pinker! xx
ReplyDeleteThis is, in my eyes, far superior to orgasm! Much more pretty natural colour, it looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteI've wanted this blush for ages! It's so, so pretty xxx
ReplyDeleteI've bought a few things from buyapowa and to be honest, I think they're all fakes. I bought Benefit Porefessional and I think it's fake - totally different comsistantly etc
ReplyDeleteI've got Deep Throat and it looks completely different to your one so maybe check it out in store to do a comparison
xx
Everything I've bought from them has definitely been genuine, but it's my photos at fault here, not the product. For some reason my camera just wouldn't pick up the colour at all well. x
