Nars orgsm vs Laura Geller Pink Grapefruit?

During this shelter in place I’m taking time to organize my home and destash makeup and such... noticed I had a Laura Geller Pink Grapefruit blush that looks an awful lot like Nars “O”.

I’ve never used or swatch the Nars in person, so wondering if pink grapefruit might be a known “dupe” for it? Anyone have both and/or have an opinion? The one good thing about sheltering at home is to take this time at home to really clean out cabinets and cupboards. And spend a little more time with my family as we are normally running around all weekend, so the silver lining is prioritizing values and decluttering (and maybe even scoring myself a new Nars dupe in the process 🤣)

Not familiar with the LG, but I do like the Nars "O".

That is a creme pigment swatch, and not the powder Nars Orgasm swatch.  Here is a link

I have both of these blushes, and the LG blush is more peachy while the NARS is more pinky. On me, the NARS looks better and I would repurchase it when it's used up.

@sundrops   I agree that the NARS is a pinky/peach almost universally flattering shade w/ a slight shimmer. I've never used LG, but the NARS O is a staple powder blush in most makeup artists' kit.

I have and like Nars O although I only seem to wear it with warmer colors.  It's a lot more intense in the container than on the skin, but I'm still very careful not to use much. I agree that it seems to work on more complexions than most, but most days I reach for Tarte Dazzled which is a rose color.

Companies today need to be reprimanded for their use of language. I would be embarrased sending a teenage daughter out shopping.   Orgasm ?!?  

 

Josie Maran has a product called "Skin Dope" that is suggestive of drug use and abuse. 

I personally boycott such products regardless of their effectiveness.  Where have the morals gone in this country ?  Could you imagine such a thing in the 1950s?

I agree, that's the very reason why I won't support that company, with names like Deep Throat, Deep Orgasms, Sex Appeal, Bumpy Ride, Illicit, Dominate and Aroused. That's just to name a few. I'm no prude by any means. But my 12 year old grandaughter loves to look at my makeup and I would be embarressed for her to read those names.
