Other than Orgasm?
...NARS ORGASM sillies! :p
I am currently loving:
-MAC MSF in Gold Spill (I love this more than any other MSF fo' sho')
-MAC Belightful IPP (I've heard this is better used wet. Not for me though. Dry, it goves a natural bronzey look when used alone or over blush).
-Clinique Nude Lustre liquid highlighter (I am so afraid of running out, it's so lovely and gives me that angelic look even if I'm far from it!)
-Maybelline DMB in Pink Voyage (the shimmer is not too much, just right and gives me pretty pinched cheeks)
-MAC Peachykeen (I love how at the end of the day, this leaves me with reddish-orange sparkles on my cheeks. Yum!)
-Cargo Blush in Gotham (I love the cool pinkness of this and of course the blue shimmer! I got a few compliments when I wore this the other day!)

TBS blush in Golden Pink.
RedEarth blush in Cherry Blossom.
Both totally natural not too much shimmer but enough to catch the light...
they make me look less like death! LOL.
Being pale is sucky.
:p

MAC MSF-Glissade (Gorgeous over my peachy blushes and bronzer)
MAC bronzer-Refined Golden (The shimmer is perfect)
NARS blush-Amour (This is a matte blush but it's such a gorgeous color that my skin glows...and I pair it with my MAC bronzer for a gorgeous, glowy look!)

GloMinerals blush in Sweet!! I haven't used NARS Orgasm, but I'm told it's a VERY close match, minus some of the shimmer that Orgasm has.

That sounds really nice! I have Orgasm and like it a lot, but sometimes I wish it wasn't so shimmery.
I'm in love with Smashbox Softlights illuminating powders. Lens and Shimmer are my faves for just a glow, and Sunset is my fave when I want a bit of a bronzer-look. I also like MAC Beauty Powders. For a natural flushed-glowy look, I use Tarte gel blushes.

EM Blush in Wet Sand. I was so disappointed when I first got this because it wasn't what I was expecting at all, but once I tried it, I loved it! It gives me the prettiest glow over any blush I wear.

My all time favorites are..
-MAC Style blush
-Chanel Orchid Rose (I unexpectedly fell in love with this. Bought it to try it out and thought I'd return it but never did. MUA reviews were right.)
-NARS Deep Throat blush
-Prescriptives Pressed Powder Leaves in Antique Peach
-Lorac Peach blush

Oh man, I'll just generalize here, only because I have too many products that I love to use lol --
My glow comes from using a blush paired with a highlighter on top. The only exception to this is if I use WnW's AOS, which has a silvery cast to it -- in this case, I use the WnW first, and THEN top that with blush.
I love all things shimmery lol -- MSFs, Shimmerbricks, Dior's bricks, EL's ... gimme 'em ALL! :D

I really like Laura Geller's Baked Powder in Ethereal Rose. Since I'm very fair I can dust it all over and it helps even out my skin tone and makes me look lit from within, yay. I also like Milani's Glimmer Strips, particularly Honey Glimmer. Covergirl's Tanfastic Bronzer is AWESOME, I have been using it like crazy lately. The shimmer in it is so perfect and makes my skin look so bronzed, glowy and pretty! I have WnW AOS and never use it but I should...

I agree with Nars Orgasm, I also like WnW AOS to hi-light.

I love MAC MSF's in Glissade and Light Flush. Both are great over blush or bronzer.

I'm like Christine, I have way too many of these;) but some things I love:
Bobbi Brown's Shimmerbricks. I have all (I think) but Tawny and Sandstone (and I really would've liked to have them) I figure out which one I want based on my look for the day but I probably use Pink Quartz, Gold and Beige most often. I probably use Brownie least often but I'd still never part with it, I LOVE the look it gives when you use it on top of Mac's Sweet as Cocoa blush. They compliment each other so well.
Px Illuminator, Pressed Powder Leaves and Magic Powder. The Magic powder can be too much sometimes but it's a summer staple for me. I also like the magic primer.
Mac's irridescent loose powder in Silver Dusk. Again, easy to overdo but if you use a light hand over really pigmented blushes it's gorgeous.
Too Faced Snow Bunny Bronzer. I don't use bronzer all that often but this is an excellent one for me. It's so glowy looking.
Also Laura Gellers Etherial Rose powder and Blush n Brightens. With the blushes I have Sunswept, Golden Apricot, Pink Grapefruit and Roseberry. I love them all. I'm thinking about getting the Berry one too and can't wait for the Honey one to come out by itself.

I also love Prescriptives Warm Light Highlighter. I just got it last night. It's a very pale gold.

I forgot about Wet n' Wild's All Over Shimmer...I'm wearing that today, and love how I'm glowing!

Definitely NARS Orgasm or any of its lookalikes.
Basically any blush/bronzer with gold shimmer.
And, overall, I've found that mineral foundation rather than liquid foundation gives me a much more glowing complexion.

Bare Minerals always gives me an awesome glow. Since jumping on the mineral bandwagon back in March I haven't let liquid foundation touch my face again =)
