Carven is newly available at Nordstrom, so once you run out, it will be possible to repurchase. I seriously considered getting the Carven perk I'm sad it won't be available anymore. Maybe it is exclusive to Nordstrom now?? I'd like to try to get a sample.
I'm not a fan of NARS orgasm blush, but I did get the illuminator and I havent tried it yet, but now I am excited to test it out.
I had bought Sex Appeal a few months ago and returned it...it wasn't dark enough for a blush and it wasn't light enough for a highlighter. I was disappointed, but hopefully it will work for you!! I'm obsessed with NARS! I really like the whole Final Cut collection that was at Nordstrom this spring, it was still in stock a week or two ago.
I spent waaay too much time debating between the ambient lighting blush in dim infusion vs. nars sex appeal. I liked swatches online of both, but I was really wanting no sparkle or shimmer at all. Just a nice barely there peach color. I figure, it is too light for a blush, I could always use it as a face brightener like I do with my nars nico.
I really liked that the orgasm illuminator gave just a hint of color, nothing drastic. Enough to know you've got a glow. The blush is too coral, and I can't tell which direction--pink or orange, I don't know..just doesn't work on yellow skin tones, and too shimmery. I hope you end up liking your illuminator too!

THANK YOU for the info on the Carven at Nordstrom! I was worried when I read reviews on the perfume, because so many said it was "old lady" bad smelling. I don't get that at all. I like how I can't distinguish a particular smell in it, especially once it wears down. It gets really light and sweet-musky, and the only description I can think of is it just smells good.. and sexy-but not trashy. I don't like getting compliments about a fragrance I'm wearing when they say, "nice perfume"... I like when it is subtle enough that people say "you smell good". If that makes any sense.
I'm glad I didn't drop the money of full sizes of the Nirvana fragrances after all... The new Cartier sun one recently sampled from Sephora, and this Carven are going to find their way into my stash next month!
