Thanks SumtingSweet....I'm went ebonyannette -- I'm ordering Taj Mahal and Exhibit A from Sephora or Nars website this week!! I use MAC's format and sweet-as-cocoa blushes; but they just lack something!!! I've seen NARS blushes on their website, and have heard so much about their orgasm blush [I think it'll be too light for me]....but I'm reluctant to trust any colors on my screen. But these look like they're the "orange" I'm looking for.....Can't wait to try them!!

^ I see on Sephora.com that Make Up Forever has a couple of intersting orange blushes too, one is Tangerine and the other is Salmon Pink but it looks like it has orange undertones.
I wonder if they have it in the stores Im gonna swoop by there on my lunch and see : )

All right now I feel really bad I've had Taj Mahal for a year and have yet to try it!! I just ALWAYS forget blush is it just me or does anyone else feel like their look is complete without it? :shrug:

OK here is the update
I went to Sephora on my lunch break and let me just tell you that I loooove Exhibit A!!! I tried the tiniest amount on and it gave me that "rosey from within" look that is sooo hard to achieve on dark skin.
Literally a dab will do you with Exhibit A. I cant wait for payday so I can buy it!!!
The other one I fell in love with is Make Up Forevers' Tangerine. This is gorgeous!!!! it blended right in, it gives more of a glow than color. AND its only $18!!!
So I will be going back for those two, I dont know how many orange blushes a girl needs but I am definately getting those two
Now Taj Mahal was good also probably better for those who are like a shade lighter than I am. I can see Exhibit A being waay to harsh for someone lighter but Taj Mahal would definately do the trick.
So hope this helps when I purchase it I will swatch it for ya!

I never thought of blush as a necessity but it depends also on the coverage of your foundation. If you have a medium-full coverage foundation you take all the color out of our skin and end up looking a lil washed out.
I am just now discovering the joys of blush. You dont really NEED it but it does kind of make your face look more healthy. Alot of darker women forgo (sp?) blush because its hard to find the right color. We dont want to look like Grace Jones and most MA's push the burgundy/maroon blush on darker people which I personally dont like. I like peachy/orangy blushes cause thats what I find makes me look healthy.

You are totally right. Orgasm is very light. When i put it on, all i see is glitter. I am NC45/C7 by the way. You might also want to try crazed but that's on the pink side. As for Mac, you could try Foolish me, it looks very orange in the pan but it goes on very pretty. Gingerly is also nice but quite light, more of a daytime type of blush. HTH
As for my rave product, there is a tie between shooting star and improper copper ccb. i use both of them everyday.

Ok maybe that's why I don't think about blush I use very sheer foundation usually just a squirt of Select Tint that I then mix with a spritz or 2 of Burt's Bees Complexion Mist to sheer it out more
