Omorovicza has been a staple in my skincare routine, be it their face masks, moisturizers, serums, or the face mists, I have them all, repurchased them few times and is one of my go-to brands that work for my skin. There are three new launches from the brand I am really enjoying – for my skin and for my scalp – Peachy Micellar Cleansers, Daily Vitamin C, and Revitalising Scalp Mask.
Omorovicza Peachy Micellar Cleansers are gentle cleansing discs soaked in a super gentle and natural micellar solution. One disc removes daily grime, oil and make-up. The skin feels and looks clean, refreshed, and plump. It does not irritate my sensitive eyes. I do prefer to rinse afterwards but can be left without rinsing. It is scented with subtle peach and patchouli fragrance, the micellar solution also contains rose flower water, known to soothe and regenerate even the sensitive skin types. It is suitable for most of the skin types.
Omorovicza Daily Vitamin C is a brightening, protective daily serum to brighten and protect the skin with a daily dose of vitamin C. It captures the power of a highly stable and potent form of this antioxidant-rich vitamin, this milky serum provides essential daily protection against environmental aggressors, whilst stimulating the production of collagen for a more youthful-looking complexion. One pump is enough for my face and it glides on easily on the skin, absorbs nicely and does not leave any residue. My dark spots and pigmentation have faded faster than usual. I have noticed my skin is bright, even and luminous. My skin feels and looks smooth and I have not noticed any new breakouts. It is suitable for most of the skin types, even sensitive.
Omorovicza Revitalising Scalp Mask is a pre-shampoo treatment that harnesses the power of transformative Hungarian Moor mud, rich in calcium and magnesium, to draw out impurities. The cooling menthol and camphor provide immediate soothing and calming benefits, while the salicylic acid gently exfoliates to minimize flaking and unblock hair follicles. The conditioning oils leave hair soft and silky. All these amazing ingredients help scalp feel comfortable and hydrated. This scalp mask made me chuckle with joy when I saw it as the new products from Omorovicza. I have problem scalp which is flakey, oily, and itchy and my hair is dry. This mask has been a great help since I started using it for over two months. The packaging as you see is very practical and fuzz-free, I apply it straight onto the scalp and rub it gently. One all the scalp is covered, I massage gently and leave it on for 15-20 minutes and then rinse it off following with shampoo and conditioner. My scalp feels revitalized, soothed, fresh, and comfortable. Not just my scalp, my hair look healthy, shiny, and easier to manage.
Overall, the products work and based on what you are looking for, these three would work great for what they are created for. Bright luminous skin and revitalized, comfortable scalp are in. Omorovicza products are available at Nordstrom stores, Four Seasons Toronto, Sephora Canada, and online at www.omorovicza.com.

*Press samplesNars Orgasm blush has been a favourite, not just for me but it is a cult favourite and when there is an addition to the cult product, who will not be excited. So to contain my excitement and feelings about this new limited edition collection from Nars, please go ahead and read more about the Nars Orgasm Collection below and more pictures to come on my Instagram handle. I have been using the Nars Orgasm Blush, Endless Orgasm Palette, and Oil-infused lip tint.
Nars Orgasm Blush is the original universally flattering shade in limited edition size and packaging. This best-selling, most iconic shade for cheeks delivers healthy-looking colour that immediately enlivens the complexion and provides a natural-looking blush effect that flatters any skin tone. The translucent, natural tones, each with a subtle pink for a natural-looking blush undertone to highlight the complexion. The blush has a silky, superfine micronized powder pigments in matte and shimmering shades to ensure irresistibly soft, blendable application. A light application of even the highest-intensity hues delivers a natural-looking flush. The formula is buildable and delivers an ultra-sheer to powerful pops of colour. The blush has been in my makeup routine since last three or four years and it looks amazing on my medium tan skin tone. It gives so beautiful pretty pink glow on the skin. The longevity is also good.
Nars Endless Orgasm Palette is a limited edition orgasm face palette featuring six multi-use satin-cream shades for eyes cheeks and lips. The six shades are very lightweight, blends easily, and pigmented. The palette features the cult favourite shade orgasm and complementary shades perfect for accentuating and exhilarating.
The shades include
Orgasm Ecstacy – Soft beige with gold pearl
Deep Orgasm – Metallic mauve
Super Orgasm – Iridescent pink with golden shimmer
Double Orgasm – Iridescent pink lilac with silver shimmer
Orgasm Fever – Iridescent copper
Orgasm – Metallic rose gold
The lightweight creamy formula is so easy to work with, so soft and blends effortlessly. The shades work pretty well, both on the cheeks and on the eyes. On cheeks, they work as a highlighter and blush depending on the shade. The shades in the palette are suitable for all skin tones. One swipe of the formula fives a subtle hint of color with dewy finish. The formula is buildable from sheer to medium. I am so loving this trying different shade every day from the palette. I do prefer to set the formula with a powder to elongate its wear time on my combination skin. The glow is definitely real, very dewy. On my oily lids, I use a eye primer to make it last longer. For a single color swipe on my lids, I do not drag it till the fold as my oily lids leave a crease pretty soon otherwise. But with the dewy finish I get from this formula, I am all in to carry a pressed powder with me. For dry skins, you will not to worry about a setting powder though.
Nars Oil-infused Lip Tint is a sheer lip oil-tint in the universally flattering orgasm shade. This new Orgasm Oil-Infused Lip Tint adds sheer sensation and a surge of hydration for seductively plush lips with a hint of tint. This oil-tint applies clear on the lips but adjusts to a very pretty pink within 2-3 minutes. The tint has a very slight gold shimmer. It feels very hydrating without feeling like it’s going to slide off the lips or any sticky feeling.
Overall, beautiful must-have products in this collection. It is hard for me to pick one product, they all are definitely good formulas and shades – depending upon what you are looking for – you can try them out and if you are a makeup lover like me – you will love this collection. Nars Orgasm Collection for Summer 2019 is available at beautyBoutique at Shoppers Drug Mart, Sephora, Hudson’s Bay, Nordstrom, and narscosmetics.ca
