With risqué names like Deep Throat, Orgasm, Super Orgasm, and The Multiple, NARS blushes sure do capture attention, no? Sexy names aside, its flattering, easily blendable formulations are an industry favorite — and they're yours, too. A whopping 43 percent of you agreed the famous brand with the ever-so-famous product was the Best Blush of 2008.

The buzz around Nars Orgasm blush is huge, so much so that Nars has released multiple products based upon the peachy-pink hue. I've had my eye on the blush and bronzer duo ($37), which packages Orgasm with Laguna bronzer. Both are beautiful colors, but until I finish my full-size Orgasm blush, I can't justify buying it.

Recently I switched sides on the great cream versus powder blush debate. This summer I got into the habit of swapping my faithful shimmery Bourjois blush for the gorgeous creamy Becca shades. The dewy fresh look that you only seem to get from a cream blush is a hard addiction to break so I was thrilled to hear about the latest backstage makeup artist trick.
Bobbi Brown's Pot Rouge formulations for lips and cheeks, (£16), have become something of a cult product recently. These handy little tubs are ideal for stashing in your draw at work for when you want a quick touch-up and they're perfect clutch bag must-haves. I've been trialling the Pink Truffle shade (pictured) and a friend has been testing Calypso Coral to great effect.

A peach blush is a wonderful way to warm up any skin tone. You can wear a pale shade if you have fair skin or a deeper, more coral shade if you have olive or ebony skin. It's a great alternative to pink blush because it's neutral and won't clash with a last-minute change to, say, red lipstick or purple eye shadow.

Browsing around my local Walgreens the other day, my eyes landed on this blush compact from Revlon. It's part of a holiday limited-edition line, but the color still looks great in April. The Revlon Golden Affair Sculpting Blush in Berry Daring is a bright raspberry pink color, embossed with a shimmery gold design, and even though I've been favoring my Shisedo Cream Blush lately, this looked like something I definitely needed to have.

When I heard about this new Cheek Venom ($24) from DuWop, I had mixed feelings of fear and excitement. While I know that tons of you are fans of the famous Lip Venom, I feel it's far too spicy and tingly for my sensitive lips. The good news is that Cheek Venom still tingles when applied, but my cheeks are much less sensitive.
