  Sticky and too opaque.

  by lolalagrigia (3 reviews)

  I received an Orgasm gift set which included this lip gloss and the Orgasm blush. The blush is fine so I use it occasionally, but the lip gloss always disappoints.

November 29, 2007, 9:03 pm I received an Orgasm gift set which included this lip gloss and the Orgasm blush. The blush is fine so I use it occasionally, but the lip gloss always disappoints. The color is lovely on the wand, but on the lips it's too opaque and smears easily. Also, unlike others whose reviews appear here, I found this lip gloss one of the stickier ones I've ever tried. It's thicker and gloppier than L'Oreal's, Clinique's, Lancome's or Tarte's, and much thicker and sticker than my favorite lip glosses, such as Estee Lauder's. I kept it around for a year, trying it every month or so because the color was pretty in the container and my friend paid a lot of money for it, but I finally tossed it because it was so sticky on the lips and the gloppy opacity of it was so unflattering.

  Harlow= great surprise

  by sarahwhite03 (3 reviews)

  I bought this against my better judgement- the color by itself is a strange, flat nude, but I happened to be gorgeously tan and the Nars guy was so great about layering the color over lip liner that I couldn't say no. I didn't think it would work once the tan faded, but I have fallen in love with this gloss. It layers beaut... March 26, 2008, 9:48 am I bought this against my better judgement- the color by itself is a strange, flat nude, but I happened to be gorgeously tan and the Nars guy was so great about layering the color over lip liner that I couldn't say no. I didn't think it would work once the tan faded, but I have fallen in love with this gloss. It layers beautifully over deep colored liners to give a polished but still un-madeup look. The gooeyness factor is low, and it stays on for a very long time. I wear it when I ski! I've found that it looks best by itself with a beachy/relaxed clothing and hair situation, but this is one of those great glosses I now own 3 of. March 26, 2008, 9:48 am

  Good but expensive!

  by AmyRose (6 reviews)

  I own one of these lipglosess in "Turkish Delight". I think it was something like $23 which is insane to me! I only bought it because I think Kim Kardashian is gorgeous and I like her makeup.

November 29, 2007, 10:23 am I own one of these lipglosess in "Turkish Delight". I think it was something like $23 which is insane to me! I only bought it because I think Kim Kardashian is gorgeous and I like her makeup. I read she used this gloss so I decided to purchase it at the Sephora Grand Opening in my area the other day. I'm normally a MAC lipglass girl. The texture of this is way thinner than lipglass which makes for a more comfortable product and it doesn't dry my lips out or make my hair stick to my lips, however, it doesn't last long. I constantly have to reapply this several times a day which I hate because it was so expensive. As far as the color goes, I love the light milky pink. Even on my very fair skin it doesn't wash me out and compliments a dark smokey eye perfectly. I don't know if I will repurchase or just try to find a comparable shade in MAC for cheaper.

  Bad Education

  by ilovelauna (3 reviews)

  According to the Nars site, this is a 'sheer crimson red'. When I think crimson, I think perhaps, a passionate red. This, in my very humble opinion, is not crimson at all. In fact, it seems to me that Nars is not so accurate lately with color descriptions! I bought Viridiana Lipstick based on the 'rich burgundy' that it was... November 29, 2007, 9:56 am According to the Nars site, this is a 'sheer crimson red'. When I think crimson, I think perhaps, a passionate red. This, in my very humble opinion, is not crimson at all. In fact, it seems to me that Nars is not so accurate lately with color descriptions! I bought Viridiana Lipstick based on the 'rich burgundy' that it was supposed to be, and that turned out a deep rose! Back to Bad Education, I love the texture of Nars Glosses, not too sticky, shiny, but really, if you're looking for that siren red, this isn't it! It's gorgeous, but it's a gorgeous ripe strawberry, not cherry or crimson. I'm sure that the red quotient can be upped by using a red liner or over a red lipstick. If I had to compare it to a lipstick that is touted as 'red' lately, I would say it compares to Mac's Queen's Sin ('intense red with red pearl), only glossy and sheer. I November 29, 2007, 9:56 am

  Definitely my everyday lip gloss

  by meightry (69 reviews)

  

  I have this in Orgasm. This is the must-have everyday nude lipgloss with a bit of shine and gold flecks. It looks like my natural lip color but prettier, shinier... and most importantly, it makes my lips look fuller. I use this on my lips everyday for school. It's very hydrating and nonsticky.

It looks like my natural lip color but prettier, shinier... and most importantly, it makes my lips look fuller. I use this on my lips everyday for school. It's very hydrating and nonsticky. I've had a history of developing allergic reactions to lipglosses where my lips have become red, swollen, and they've flaked very horribly. It was so bad that people who walked past me in the street would lick their lips. But this lip gloss has been perfect for my lips. NO allergic reactions whatsoever with this gloss. Definitely a must have!! The only thing that comes close is the chanel lip gloss!! November 28, 2007, 7:04 pm

  Lovely colors but way too sticky and gooey for me

  by cheetah11 (65 reviews)

  

  I have the colors "Babe" which is a nice, soft and sheer orangey-reddish summer color and very flattering on my skin tone and "Giza" which is a milky, light beige-peach color when I want that 'nude" lip effect.

November 1, 2008, 7:57 pm I have the colors "Babe" which is a nice, soft and sheer orangey-reddish summer color and very flattering on my skin tone and "Giza" which is a milky, light beige-peach color when I want that 'nude" lip effect. Both glosses have a very high shine factor. Although I love the colors, I find it too sticky, feels heavy and real goopy as well. I really wanted to like them because the color selection is great but I just can't stand the way my lips feel when wearing them. These are definitely the "hair sticks to your lips on a windy day" kind of glosses. Almost as thick in consistency to MAC's Lipglass but not as sticky. I'm surprised some reviewers said it's not sticky at all but I guess to each their own. Length of wear is average and about as long as any other lip gloss. Eating oily foods take it off right away. Normal wear on me without eating or drinking lasts about 40 minutes. I much prefer the lipglosses by Korres as they are less sticky and heavy and cheaper too although their color selection isn't as vast as NARS. November 1, 2008, 7:57 pm

  Hydrating and non-sticky

  by KrisUKUS (5 reviews)

  I admit, with dry lips and long hair, a non-sticky lip gloss that actually feels like it's hydrating rather than sitting like an oil slick on my lips is my holy grail, with color selection a secondary consideration, but given the range Nars provides, I don't think finding a decent color should be a problem for anyone, unles... April 26, 2008, 6:01 pm I admit, with dry lips and long hair, a non-sticky lip gloss that actually feels like it's hydrating rather than sitting like an oil slick on my lips is my holy grail, with color selection a secondary consideration, but given the range Nars provides, I don't think finding a decent color should be a problem for anyone, unless you're looking for something really specific. This gloss does the job I want it to while giving a nice not overly shiny look to the lips, and I will be a repeat buyer. April 26, 2008, 6:01 pm

  Gotta Love the "O"

  I love this lip gloss! It goes on easily and smoothly and stays pretty well, as far as lip glosses are concerned. I especially like their variety of colors.

April 21, 2008, 10:01 am I love this lip gloss! It goes on easily and smoothly and stays pretty well, as far as lip glosses are concerned. I especially like their variety of colors. I love "Org_sm" and it really does seem to look good on everyone, and I don't usually wear anything with a pinky tone to it. I also like Sunset Strip, which doesn't look quite as bright once it's on your lips. Nars is now the only lip gloss I use. April 21, 2008, 10:01 am

This is without a doubt the best lipgloss I own in terms of color, consistency and staying power. The price is a bit steep so I try and save it for occasions. The price is actually the only drawback - this is really a fabulous gloss. January 10, 2008, 3:54 pm
