 All-Around Favorite Lip Gloss March 21, 2007

There is good reason this Nars lip gloss won the Best of the Sephora award for 2006. I've been in love with Nars products since my daughter introduced them to me several years ago and now they are a staple in my cosmetic drawer.
I've never been that infatuated with lip glosses because they always seemed to slip and slide around on my more mature lips until I tried this one that came in a gift set from my bonus daughter with Nars Orgasm blush (another love).
There are three formulas of this lip gloss: sheer, cream and semi-sheen. I like the creamy version. Nars employs a sponge type wand to apply this gloss, and I haven't experienced any leaking from this tube when I travel with it as I have experienced with Dior's DiorAddict gloss. This gloss stays on my lips for hours without smudging or bleeding. It's the all-around best I've experienced, although I do like DiorKiss glosses for the same reason.
This gloss is the perfect texture, shine and color with the ability to stick to you lips without feeling too sticky and gooey, but giving a soft, glowing sheen with a creaminess in several beautiful colors. I often use this over Nars great lipcolors, or simply wear it alone. Between the luscious color - Orgasm (soft pinnk) and Sweet Dreams (soft pink with gold shimmer) being my favorites, although similar in color -- and the wearable comfort factor, Nars lip gloss will remain in my cosmetic drawer.

one of the best lipglosses around November 29, 2004

In my opinion (Francois)Nars has proven to be the best of the best in the professional makeup artist lines that emerged a few years ago and this lipgloss is no exception. Highly pigmented and luscious, you'll want one of every color. Try Sweet Dreams (a baby shimmer pink), reportedly a favorite of some of the the Sex and the City cast (according to some magazines)or Harlowe, a shimmery-neutral beige that is incredibly wearable. They're all gorgeous and, even in the $20 range, worth every penny!

I'd tried Nars lipstick and it was the best, also their lip laquer, which is great, so I was expecting a lot from the gloss and wasn't dissapointed. The colors are denser than many other glosses and really show up on the lips. They go on well and while not being super glossy give a nice shine. They have a selection of colors to go with every skin tone. I have to be careful with oranges but wanted something in that family to wear to the beach. "Sunset Strip" was the perfect sunny shade that wasn't overboard and went with my skin tone. And it stays put even in the heat. Never got gloppy or runny and the shade stayed true. For a gloss this had very good staying power.
 Great color, terrible consistancy March 30, 2007

I bought this lipgloss because I thought it looked nice (and was told to try it by many people). The color "Orgasm" is wonderful. It's hard to find a light pink that works on me, without looking like I'm trying to be twelve years old again. I also love the shine of the product. Unfortunately, I found the stickiness of the gloss to be a complete let down.
My reasoning for a three star review is that the only problem is the sticky nature of the product. I will wear this when I need something this color, but, until they change the formula, I am not going to buy this again.
(For those of you that might like to know what I mean by "sticky," it reminded me of having warm taffy on my lips, but a little less tacky).
"Orgasm" a little disappointing... February 25, 2006

I was wondering what all the hype was about regarding the Nars Orgasm lipgloss so I had to try it out for myself. I have to say it was a little disappointing especially since every magazine made it out to be such a great, "must have" product. It is a very pretty pink neutral color but very light, almost non-existent when it is applied. It is definitely not sticky like some glosses out there but it didn't seem to last that long either. I honestly don't think this is worth the money (maybe in another color I might have been a little more impressed) or the attention that it's getting. There are other glosses (Too Faced, MAC, etc) that aren't nearly as pricey that look just as good if not better.
