Hi:) I'm Bien, from korea.(of course.. south) I searched NARS Lipglosses color shot, and reading your review. Thank you for your detailed pictures in review. As see you, My English writing is very terrible. (However I really good Korean) But I must write to reply. Because your pictures stole this blog. (I think, she's maybe chinese.) [link removed] Are you know that? I really shocked the this global stealing! (Copyrights very important!!) I wish your copyrights protecting yourself. Good bye:)

I only own 1 NARS gloss- TUrkish Delight- and I may get a lot of hate for this, but I honestly don't like it at all. Yes, the colour is GORGEOUS, yes it's non sticky, but it makes my lips look HORRIBLE when I wear it!!!! I always take the time to exfoliate and put balm on with this, but by an hour or so, my lips start flaking and the gloss is extremely patchy. The smell is also horrible. I know they are supposed to be non scented, but Turkish Delight smells horrible to me and if I accidentally get some in my mouth (which doesn't happen often) I feel like I'm going to gag! The colour is nice, but I'm sure I can find a dupe for it. By the way, Girl <3 Boy plushglass from the upcoming Quite Cute collection (MAC) is apparently really similar so I will probably get it because I love the colour so much. But this was definitely NOT worth $28. :(

Chihuahua is my waaayyy fav but it's so hard to say.Fortunaly i guess i am not the only one cause the girl at sephora understood immediately when i said " i want nars errr, chi something lipgloss" ,lol:).down side it's actually too expensive for me:(

Is the NARS lipgloss in Orgasm similar to the Chanel glossimer in Coral Love?

turkish delight is my least favorite, it sinks into the lines of lips and has NO stay power whatsoever

frisky summer is gorgeous!

I have the orgasm and like it a lot and I'm interested in buying others ike dolce vita, giza, turkish delight and striptease

i really, really wanted to love this gloss but i couldn't;( after not using it for a while, i picked it up again and it smelt so bad that i can't use it anymore!

They're even more expensive in France : 25€ O_O Would you know of a dupe for the Giza one?

MAC Perennial High Style, which just recently came out with Liberty of London is very similar.

Sunset Strip looks so gorgeous!! Thanks for the swatches

I have Belize and Turkish delight. Love them both!...but I also like thalita & Giza

I am obsessed with everything orgasm! the blushes, the lipgloss, the multiple! I own all 3! They should really consider making an eyeshadow!

Stolen Kisses and Tempest looks like the perfect shade for my lips. I need to swatch these in person.

Thank you so much!! I just started getting into higher end makeup and I was going to ask for one or two nars lipglosses for my b day! I think ill ask for orgasm or pillowtalk! and has anyone tried bloodwork on thier lips? It looks very bright I want to get so I can have red lips without lipstick beacause my mom thinks I'm too young for red lipstick!

No problem, Lexi :) Bloodwork is still pretty red on lips, but it's not as opaque as a lipstick.

Lexi, you may also want to try Scandal. The swatch is not shown here, and it's more of a sheer red and may not be as bright as Bloodwork. It's very pretty.

I second that. I only have scandal and I save it like if Nars were going out of business! It is love. It is still very red and opaque but not as leathery looking as bloodwork so that its a waaaaay more wearable red. High gloss finish and long lasting which is necessary in red lips cuz u dont want it smearing everywhere! I also heard that its what Taylor Swift used to wear daily with just some black winged eyeliner!

I am so geeked to buy another Nars lipgloss, because it was love @ first pucker when I bought Moon Fleet, but it is pricey. I love the subtle shimmer and the consistency is nice; not too gloopy not too sheer. Next up: Striptease and Supervixen.

awesome! but in Thailand NARS is very expensive.

Love Turkish Delight! its the perfect nude color for me i only have one lipgloss so far but i will definitely be buying more of these. I have my eye on pillow talk and belize

I have Tempest, Bloodwork, and Turkish Delight. Tempest is my favorite! I bought Orgasm because everyone raves about it, but I ended up returning it. I don't think I'll be buying anymore NARS glosses because of the price!

Orgasm is just one of those love it or hate it colors!

I do have turkish delight, I'm NC 30, now I drooling for dolce vita and sweet revenge

You're not the only one, Classic!

Belize is the only shade that I have and I love it.

Think you'll get any more, Kate?

These glosses are definitely not odorless. Infact they smell really chemically and I wonder how would you know if one these goes bad to throw it out?

Were you smelling one you purchased or a tester?

I've only got one, Bloodwork, but it is hardcore amazing. I often pair it with Russian Red lipstick - I like it better than RR lipglass for opacity and lack of stickiness - or just wear it alone. I'd like to pick up a few more glosses, maybe Orgasm and Bad Education? But MAC keeps putting out amazing launches and I just... can't help myself!

I might have to get Bloodwork now!

I have almost all of them- triple x, striptease, harlow, turkish delight, frisky summer, orgasm, dolce vita, sandpiper , pillow talk, chihuahua, boogie nights and bloodwork and as you can guess, I am ADDICTED to these glosses. I don't think they taste or smell bad. They are tasteless and odorless and I like it that way. Bloodwork is AMAZING but I use it more of like a stain than a gloss. It's so pigmented its crazy. My fave is frisky summer. It just perks up the skin ya know ;)

i have orgasm and belize (my boyfriend was born and raised there, which is one of the reasons i got it.). of the two, belize is my favorite!

These two seem like some of the more popular shades!

I need some Bloodwork done :D

Summer is pretty :) and Bloodwork is gorgeous

I am out of Orgasm, but I liked the peachy pink color. I have Turkish Delight -- it is definately opaque -- but a pretty pink color. I want Belize and Pillow Talk next! They are pricier than MAC lipglass -- but the tube is much larger as well :)

I'm glad you like 'em, MichelleB!

OMG i need Bloodwork in my life it is so pretty

I LOVE sunset strip, by itself or layered with orgasm on top. Orgasm by itself washes me out.

Same here... Orgasm tends to look best over something else.

My favorites are the only two I have: Orgasm and Dolce Vita :-) Both are beautiful!!!
