I don’t own any, but am always tempted every time I walk into Sephora to buy one or two. Sunset Strip looks really nice.
I only have one, I think – Orgasm lipgloss. So pricey!
Does anyone know of any dupes for Striptease, Harlow, and Turkish Delight? Nowhere near me sells Nars, and I wanna try the colors or like-colors prior to ordering them! I hate having to return things via mail! Please comment and let me know?
XOXO
I read yesterday that Neutrogena’s MoistureShine Gloss in Groove is a good dupe for Turkish Delight (just not as pigmented)
Groove is a little bit more pink and just as pigmented…it also smells better! HTH
Thanks!
I don’t know of dupes for the first two, but I believe Underage by MAC is similar. Neutrogena’s Groove is also similar.
Im an nw45 and I wear spirit by mac w/ pillow talk over it. Uber kissable lips!
Aww, awesome!
I find myself constantly reaching for Pillow Talk as well !
Ohh, on the list now…
I’m thinking i may go check out Sweet Revenge, Belize and Pillow talk 🙂
Belize is pretty!
I’m really tempted by Orgasm, Gothika, Boogie Nights and Bad Education ! Thanks for the swatches !
I am in LOVE with Boogie Nights!
Frisky Summer and pillow talk are so nice 🙂 I think I’ll get a couple more, maybe orgasm. I like the golden glitter in it
ha ha I feel like I’ve been waiting for this moment!
Okay here goes my NARS gloss list:
Bad Education
Gothika
Greek Holiday
Sweet Revenge
Supervixen
Gloss duo: Chihuahua/Rose Birman
I absolutely HEART them – I love that they are unscented, have lots of pigment and are not gloppy like MAC lipglasses! They are pricey but it’s all I wear – well these and Bare Escentuals Buxom glosses.
For Date Nights with the Hub – I use Bad Education or Gothika and for having just a little color but still pretty at work I reach for Sweet Revenge or Supervixen…
Ohh, thanks, Lexis!!
Also this posting is feeding my NARS gloss addiction, thanks a lot =)
Thanks for this! We dont have NARS here yet and these are way more reliable for color when buying online 🙂 Orgasm and Babe look really nice.
I have been wearing babe all summer! It is the perfect orange/red gloss!
Oh, awesome, Lauren!
No prob, Renee 🙂
Sunset Strip and Boogie Night look very pretty from the swatches :)….i think they’re my fav
Same here!
I have Orgasm and Stolen Kisses.
Nice!
Frisky summer and harlow are gorgeous! I think the price is ridic. especially since there are so many glosses in the world, but I think I may invest in frisky summer, but I haaate the scent and do NOT get this stuff in your mouth! lol
LOL!
Im liking Belize…and Dolce Vita. Too bad I dont have the money to buy it..lol..hey i can always dream cant I?
Dream away, Tehreem 😀
I have Giza and I love it!
Good to hear it, Ana!
I only have 1 NARS l/g (when I purchased NARS LE e/s in Tropic) and it’s Babe. It just stood out! It’s not too orange and not too red kind of color. I like the scent (unscented) and texture so much that I will def buy more. From your swatches, I really like:
– Bad Education
– Misbehave (such naughty names make me feel like I’m being a bad girl…lol)
– Bloodwork
– Talitha
– Stella
– Pillow Talk
– Moon Fleet
– Frisky Summer
– Dolce Vita
I like to wear darker l/g colors on their own. NARS l/g pigmentation is one of the best ones outthere.
I’m with you – I like the fact that it is unscented! Also, even though it’s pricey I will more than likely buy this gloss over a $23 Chanel nail polish any day!
Everyone is different and we all have our own priorities – mine is to have a fabulous gloss that doesn’t freak out my lips!
I like wearing dark lipglosses on their lonesome from time to time too!
is it possible to love everyone of these? (even tho i know dolce vita does not work for my skintone!) thank you so much for swatching!
Haha!
Wow! Ironically, Dolce Vita gloss is so much more pigmented than her lipstick equivalent.
True!
I totally agree! I have the lipstick and lip gloss and I almost wish that I had just purchased 2 lip glosses.
I love NARS glosses so much that I promised myself I would never by another MAC gloss but I cheated and bought a Dazzleglass after I made that promise but it was just that one! I have Stella and it gives me the “I’ve just been sucking on a strawberry popsicle” look. I love how they’re not too sticky and they do feel moisturizing. Something about MAC glosses make my lips react weird. Another little thing I love about NARS gloss is the doe foot applicator, it’s a teeny bit smaller than most but it’s perfect! The swatch of Pillow Talk looks like it should be Stella.
Oh, wow! They must be pretty special then 😉
Which don’t I want? I have owned Turkish Delight, Giza, Chihuahua. I want:
Bloodwork
Triple X
Striptease
Frisky Summer
Orgasm
Stella
Pillow Talk
Talitha
Bad Education
Misbehave
Sigh! I love them all!
Haha! That sounds like me!
I can only speak from a 1x purchase of these glosses…i don’t like them. period. I tried the orgasm one since everyone was always talking about it and to me it was just ok. Didn’t think to highly of the applicator either. I get better pigmentation from the Mac’s Love Nector gloss…which i love!
That sucks that it didn’t work out for you, Erica!
Wow! I’m tempted to try Nars Makeup soon. I just own the Orgasm blush lol.
lol! You’ll like it, I hope!
I only have Babe and it is fantastic. So sticky and it lasts all day 😀
From the swatches.. The shades (especially pinks) don’t look as vibrant as MAC? I would love to go and try Frisky Summer though. It looks interesting – almost like gloss version of peach passion?
Oh! Happy to hear these last all day!
I have Revolt & Striptease. They glide on smoothly when applied, & I have to admit, they are not as sticky compared to the MAC Lipgalss.
Nice to hear 😀
Giza, Orgasm and Sunset Strip
I have turkish delight and I kind of hate it lol. I wish I saw this before I bought it. I got it due to hype and it was the *ONLY* one in stock after months. I have the same coloring as Kim but I think my lips are more pigmented because it goes on blah. I need to pair this with a lippie which gets annoying
LOL! How funny!
I have Orgasm and I love it! It’s really better than most of lipglosses (include MAC ones!)
xx
Aww, yay!
They are all so pretty obviously. I just am not able to justify the price when you realize it is just lipgloss in colors which can be “dupe-able” if you look hard enough. I do own one…Orgasm & I think I bought just to get the temptation out of me & now I know i most likely won’t get another NARS gloss again.
There’s just something about NARS’ pricing that always feels too much to me.
thanks for doing these swatches christine, and all the other nars ones…
we only have one nars counter in my city (the other one closed for some reason) and i usually feel overwhelmed every time i’m there and end up with nothing!
dolce vita, stella, stolen kisses, tempest, talitha, revolt and blood work look very enticing….
if i had to pick one? aaaaa can’t!
My pleasure, Aradhana! 🙂 Happy to help!
I have a Sunset Strip/Orgasm lip gloss duo. I really like Sunset Strip but I think that Orgasm is too light as a lip gloss for my skin tone.
Summer, Dolce Vita, Stella, and Bad Education are on my list 🙂
Good choices, Meagan 😀
I have Supervixen, Chantaco and Sandpiper, and I absolutely love them!
I love Sandpiper, too! Such a lovely neutral.
It definitely looks like it!
Sounds like NARS glosses are worth the price!
Bloodwork is WOW! <3
I know!
I have Chihuahua but Tempest and the redish colors look really nice.
I agree, Nicci!
My favorites are the only two I have: Orgasm and Dolce Vita 🙂 Both are beautiful!!!
Yayyy!
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.
OMG i need Bloodwork in my life it is so pretty
Aww 😉 Get it!
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!
Summer is pretty 🙂 and Bloodwork is gorgeous
Agreed, Janelle!
I need some Bloodwork done 😀
Haha! ;D
Very Pretty!
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 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 😉
Wow!!
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!
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?
Belize is the only shade that I have and I love it.
Think you’ll get any more, Kate?
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!
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!
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
awesome!
but in Thailand NARS is very expensive.
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.
Aww 😀
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!
Stolen Kisses and Tempest looks like the perfect shade for my lips. I need to swatch these in person.
I am obsessed with everything orgasm! the blushes, the lipgloss, the multiple! I own all 3! They should really consider making an eyeshadow!
I have Belize and Turkish delight. Love them both!…but I also like thalita & Giza
Sunset Strip looks so gorgeous!! Thanks for the swatches
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.
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!
I have the orgasm and like it a lot and I’m interested in buying others ike dolce vita, giza, turkish delight and striptease
frisky summer is gorgeous!
turkish delight is my least favorite, it sinks into the lines of lips and has NO stay power whatsoever
Is the NARS lipgloss in Orgasm similar to the Chanel glossimer in Coral Love?
Pinker, perhaps!
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:(
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. 🙁
