The colors are actually darker than shown here. Orgasm is more rose than light pink, and laguana is more baked tan than golden tan (though it does have gold shimmers). I have olive/tan skin and thought these would look horrible on me but surprisingly both work well. They can be used singly or combined. The color intensity is well measured out...one or two sweeps are enough. And the first sweep is never too much (unlike some you end up having to wipe some off cause it makes you look like a clown). Using Orgasm on the cheekbone and Laguana just underneath with one sweeping motion towards the ears adds dimension nicely. And the colors stay...it's been 10 hours...and I haven't had to touch up. Awesome!

I love this product. The blush and the bronzer are so sheer!! The blush is an amazing color in "Orgasm" and yes, it does live up to the hype! And the bronzer goes very well with this blush. The blush is light, but it gives you a slight healthy color, so people with pale skin are good to go. And you put a bronzer on, and you won't look like you have a fake tan, just a slight healthier glow. This product has last me a long time, so the $35.00 is a great investment in a great product.

But ask around, don't take my word for it!

I do reach for this often-it complements many skin types-and high quality NARS makeup for the loyal fans-it does contain minute amounts of sparkle for those that need to be aware of this (those of us over 40)- so I usually wear it for indoor use or nighttime events. I used it once on a sunny day and I was glittering!

I purchased this product after watching an episode of What Not To Wear on TLC. I love their makeup artist Carmindy and she always has great suggestions. This product is good for all lighter skin tones. I put a bit of the bronzer (Laguna) around my outer forehead and my upper cheekbone and then brush the blush (orgasm) on my entire cheekbone in a sweeping motion and it just gives a slight glow without going overboard. It looks like you were kissed by the sun! And that's good as I have a light complexion. Use in conjunction with Benefit's High Beam on the upper cheekbone and eyebrow ridge for a lovely glow all year round!

I love Nars - almost everything M. Francois Nars makes is among the top in my book - but the Orgasm / Laguna duo is a disappointment that I actually had to return. I had high expectations for the product, since I love Nars's blush formula and other blush colors. However, these two shades were simply too orange for my light ivory skin, making me look clownish instead of the natural, lightly shimmery flush that Sin (also by Nars) gives me.
The reason why the duo does not get two stars is because of the formula. Nars's powder colors (blushes, shadows, etc.) manages to be sheer in texture while densely pigmented, so all you need is a light dip with a good brush, tap off excess and swirl onto the cheeks. this duo is no exception. While the colors may not be right for everyone, the formula itself is great.

No one else has tried Sin/Casino? Well I have medium skin with yellow
undertones and I thought that Orgasm/Laguna would look bad on me on account of so many positive light skinned reviewers. so I got this one instead. I like the bronzer a lot. Its a darker shade and shows up well on my skin but is not fake looking. The shimmer is fine and not too obvious like others. I like to put some around my jaw, under my cheekbones and right under my hairline to define my face. I think the blush comes on a little strong. Both colors are a lot darker than the photo above shows. The blush is a nice color but a little too rich for my skin tone, I was looking for something that would brighten a little more and this color I felt it sort of ways down my skin-tone. Its a little too purple and I wanted something pinker. I think If I had just a bit darker skin it would work better. I'm thinking of exchanging it for Orgasm/Laguna but the problem is I'm in love with the Bronzer! I'm afraid Laguna will be too orange and not show up well. But all in all the product is great quality the colors match very nicely, they blend very well into my skin and do not look fake. The packaging is rubbery so you don't drop it all the time. The mirror inside is huge which I love. The shipping was standard and it only took 3 days to get here! The only reason I put 4 stars was because of the blush being too dark but that is my fault anyway.

I'm Thai, tan and this just works. People think I look well rested, even when I've barely gotten any sleep... I'd buy it again.

This a great product I felt that the only way to convey this was through my video review so you could actually see how much I love this product.

Even though the make up arrived broken as soon as I notified them everything was taken care of on the same day, such a great shopping experience and they care about their customers! Thank you guys so much I love my make up! It looks fantastic on :) I'm very pleased!!!

I love Nars blush/bronzer. And it lasts! I used it everyday for 3 years, and now it's almost gone, so I will reorder it. The orgasm/laguna is perfect for creating a healthy glow. I use the bronzer color all over and the pink on my cheeks (sometimes eyelids too).
