hey everyone-

okay so i recently got the nars super orgasm blush as a birthday present... after using for awhile i noticed my cheeks started feeling a little itchy and tingley and i got some hives... does anyone know what may have caused it?

I had that too! After struggling with rotating random products out to make it work, I came to my senses and realized it was the NARS blush that I was reacting to. I was breaking out in the areas I used blush/contour from my Orgasm/Laguna duo... *sadface*

The only thing that worked for me was to cease using it completely. I still have no idea exactly WHAT it was that made me break out in the ingredients, but I had to change to a different brand. I was never into blushes until I realized the first one I tried pointed out how sensitive my cheeks were... now the one thing I was least excited about is now my constant quest to find the perfect ones that do not react with my skin.\

The ones I have the best luck with are:

Tarte's Amazonian clay blushes
Physician's Formula Happy Booster blushes
MUFE HD cream blushes [although they are vibrant in person, they fade to a natural finish in flash photography, so it's wise to use it as a base if you will be somewhere w/ lots of pictures being taken.]

MAC and NARS blushes break me out... such a shame, but there are plenty of other brands out there that do just as well if not better! Hope that helps!
