Tzigane is advertised as a sheer, pink brandy that leaves just a whisper of subtle color on the lips. It's said to be perfect to wear solo by day or paired with a bold eye by night. I envisioned a brown-rose shades, so I was disappointed when it arrived in the mail. It's coral to my eye.
Super Orgasm, not new, continues to play the Orgasm franchise to the hilt - in this case with great success. The gloss shade is pinker than its blush sister. It's shiny pink with an almost imperceptible hint of peach, and laced with gold glitter. I didn't like Super Orgasm Blush - way to sparkly for my taste, but I love the lip gloss!
Here is a swatch ph
Super Orgasm has found a good home. Tzigane will be going to one of my chocolate-skinned friends who looks very good in coral. I hope she likes it. I have plenty of coral lip colors (mistakes and by choice). I didn't need another.
You can purchase the NARS Spring 2011 collection at the NARS Web site and Sephora. I hear it's scheduled to arrive at Neiman Marcus soon.

I love the pink, it's so pretty! These are great colors to wear during the winter... they will brighten everyone's day!

Hi Katie!
Agreed...it's a luscious pink! You're right, not just for spring.
I had the opposite reaction to Tzigane! When I first saw it, I thought I could never wear it. It just looked too orange. But somehow on my (very pink) lips it doesn't go coral so much as a very glowy almost-nude. It's hard to describe. I don't wear nude lip colors normally, as they make me look dead, but somehow Tzigane balances out my natural pink lips and makes them a little more neutral without skewing me into too-warm lipstick territory.
Aw, what a disappointment! I've been looking forward to the arrival of Tzigane because it sounded so pretty with the description of the lipcolor as brandy/pink. The Super Orgasm gloss, however, looks like it may be a pleasant surprise! (I'm pretty much over NARS' Orgasm franchise!)
Hi Kit,
I'm glad it works for you! I had such high hopes. My lips are fairly light. You have probably cracked the code!
Hi Mama Val!
I guess you have two opinions now. It's not for me.
I thought I was over Orgasm with the glittery Super Orgasm, but the Orgasm Multiple and now this gloss have me back onboard. The gloss isn't new, but it has my attention today!
I think I just might like both of these.
Hi Polarbelle,
Let us know how you like them! Today, I plan to try to pink up the color by putting the gloss over the lipstick.
Actually, it's NARS Angelika gloss that I have my eye on!
Hi Mama Val!
I will show that shade as soon as I can get a photo. It is supposed to be rainy today, but maybe tomorrow.
