Building on the success of last year’s Orgasm Illuminator (a liquid highlighter), NARS is bringing three new shades into the fold: Copacabana, Super Orgasm, and Laguna ($29 each).
Here are light swatches:
Here are heavier swatches:
The Illuminators are all sparkly, but Copacabana and Super Orgasm kick that sparkle up a notch. Copacabana is white-pink with a dense, silver multicolored sparkle. Orgasm is surprisingly bronzey for a product named after the blush. It’s a rosy golden brown with subtler sparkle. Super Orgasm is pink with dense gold sparkle. Laguna is warm golden brown with an Orgasm-level of sparkle.
The Illuminators are sold everywhere NARS is sold, but if you buy them from NARScosmetics.com, the code karlasugar will get a free mini South Beach Multiple. (Everybody loves freebies!)
I know these aren’t supposed to opaque, but the sheerness really bothers me. It just feels like I could buy a sheer shimmery/glittery cream product anywhere, and it would be a lot less expensive too. Thank you for the swatches. My wallet is happy i don’t need them!
I got a mini tube of Orgasm as a 100 point gift from Sephora and I like it much more than I expected. It’s really subtle and oddly, I really like using it as a sheer wash of color on my eyelids.
If you use these as cheek highlighters, what is the difference between these and the multiples in the same colour?
super orgasm looks sparky great! i wana lay my hands on that for that extra glow!
I have the Orgasm Illuminator and really enjoy it, especially with warm toned looks. They are definitely more sheer than the multiples.
I have Copacabana and I really love it! (especially because it’s so much cheaper per unit than Benefit High Beam)
And yes! I can finally get back on this blog~ xD
Thanks for putting these images up. While considering whether or not to buy this product, I did a google search and found your page. This was just the info I needed to make the right colour choice, so thanks! Maybe NARS should be sending you spotters fees
Now I’m going to enjoy looking over the rest of your site. Have a great weekend!
