I felt like I don't really need one since I "blush" almost all the time (literally, my face turns red!). So why bother, right? Oh how wrong was I.
NARS is one of those high-end brands that are quite famous because of a hyped product. I'm pretty sure most of us have heard (including the non-kikays) about the NARS Orgasm. I never understood why people would spend that much on a blush. That's what I thought until I actually tried one.

On the other hand, NYX has always been known for providing awesome dupes for high-end products, such as this:

Let's compare them :)

PACKAGING: NARS has a more sturdy case and a mirror to boot, while NYX is more compact and easier to tote around (at least for me).

SWATCHES: Orgasm is on the pinky side while Pinched is a bit on the coral side. But really, once it's on your skin without being too meticulous, you really can't tell which is which.
Both of them has a nice texture and they're both easy to blend.
AFFORDABILITY: Obviously, NYX bags this category.
You can purchase 4 NYX blushes with the price of a single NARS blush.
VERDICT: NARS Orgasm is really worth the hype. It's texture and shade are phenomenal.I believe it will compliment all skin tones. But, the same tune plays with NYX Pinched. As much as I adore Orgasm, I am honestly contented with what Pinched has to offer. Plus, it's not burning a hole in my pocket.
Yay for NYX! :)
So, which one would you buy??
