So for Christmas I recently got both blushes and I usually never wear blushes because it looks so fake and streaky. ( I'm fairly white #116 in MUFE). I was wondering if anyone had some tips or any review on these blushes to help me out. Maybe I can return one and get something else I would like.

I love the Bella bamba!! It smells so good (weird I know but it doesn't smell powdery like other blushes) and it's the perfect color for my skin, I'm pale too! It's less glittery than orgasm in my opinion.

Thanks! And oh thank god someone has noticed the smell! I thought I was just weird haha it smells like watermelons yum. But I tried it on and it goes way to pink it looks like a child put it on me. How do you put your blush on?

I use an elf complexion brush. I barely touch the blush with my brush because its SO pigmented. I always tap off excess too and gently brush my cheeks with it! Until I figured out how to apply it I looked like a clown too!

Nars orgasm is sephora's best seller. It was created to be worn by all skin tones. Bella Mamba has the exact same tones. It is just slightly softer. With your shade of 116 you can definitely wear either of them. I've put both on clients that are even #110 in Mufe. Use a very fluffy brush. The more fluffy the lighter it applies color. Hold the brush at the very end so you have a lighter grip. Tap the brush in the blush and don't press down. Then tap it on your hand to get rid of some of it and then apply to your cheeks. This will give you a small amount of color. Do the same to the other side and then repeat til you build to the amount that you want. Applying less and building is better than apply too much.

Thanks so much for the advice! I'll try not to pick up so much on the brush.

Bella Bamba. I personally don't like shimmering blushes but for some reason Bella Bamba looks glowier instead of glittery!

i wish my bella bamba wass MORE pigmented lol, im tan so it like barely shows up :( 

I have both and I think they're pretty much the same! I think maybe orgasm is a little bit more shimmery (which I like) but both are grey formulas and I enjoy them both!

Yeah I would apply it with a fluffy brush. If your brush is dense it will pick up more color. Hope this helped!

Nars goat hair brush is great for applying blush because it is loose and the powder or blush doesn't get packed in making it heavy. Apply lightly to the apple of the cheeks concentrating the color there and working up and out if desired. Building up is the best and is what I do with the orgasm blush so it's not too heavy.

I have both and I am tanned skin and they both are awesome. Orgasm is much more corally n gold while bella bamba is more pink n frosty. Go easy on bella bamba though because it can go on a bit heavy, while orgasm is much more sheer and glowy.
