How much goes on the brush is really up to your personal preference. Because the compartments are small, I find putting a little on my brush and building works best. The matte pink and shimmery peach are excellent blush colours. The darkest shade works well as a contour and the gold is a lovely colour to highlight the tops of the cheekbones and the brow bone.

this is only available online for now and is released in stores August 1st.

Based on the size alone it is a good deal, you see the regular NARS orgasm blush is .16 oz and sells for $28. this is .36 oz and sells for $49. based on math you are getting $63 worth of product for $49. As far as the product itself you are getting orgasm blush, a really pretty color and three other colors. The pink and peach can be used as blushes and the gold is more of a highlighter, or you can mix those three together in different ways to get different looks. This seems like a good way to get introduced to a popular color and I believe that if you mix the three other colors together the right way they come out to be the color orgasm.

From what I have read these are not named shades(apart from Orgasm, of course). The included shades are a deconstruction of Orgasm -- if you mixed them together they would create Orgasm. Hope that helps.

It is much smaller than it appears online. I don't have exact dimensions but the Orgasm pan (the largest one in the palette) was smaller than a full size Nars blush, think about the size as a one of their individual shadow shades. Also the gold shimmer is tiny, about the size of one of the colors in their trio sets.

According to another answerer they are not named shades but blended together make up the color orgasm. Youd probably have to see it in person side by side with the colors you mentioned to see if thats what they are. Sorry I wasnt much help

While I'm not sure if its exact, the pink looks like Gaiety, the peach is similar to Liberte or Amour. but i don't know what the highlighter looks like

Any nude or bright lip would look great. It depends what you're going for. I like wearing Buxom White Russian, since the blushes look very pigmented on my skin.

Yes, it is limited edition like the last blush palette

Yes, unfortunately the blush color "orgasm" does contain Bismuth Oxychloride. I have been wanting this blush for ages, but I can't use it becuase I will end up with a battlefield of acne. Not pretty. Here are the ingredients:
