"My very first beauty splurge was on the NARS Orgasm Blush ($30). I grew up on the beauty side of YouTube and it was the one product every single vlogger at the time talked about. I just knew I had to own it. Believe it or not, I kept that exact pan of blush for years and didn't throw it away until I got my first full-time job in beauty. I'm not sure if it was the anxiety of never being able to afford (or justify) a $30 blush ever again or if it held some sentimental value, but it was loved well and for long, like, way too long." — Samantha Sasso, beauty editor, Brandshop
