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.

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 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).

I purchased this lip gloss in the color 'Orgasm' to go with the famous blush partner. The gloss is definitely the same color as the blush. When you put the gloss on, it seems a bit sticky, but not anything that would be too annoying or would make you want to wash it off. The gloss had a nice shine to it that I'm sure is in all the lip glosses. The color seemed a nice, natural color, but yet it shows a definite color on the lips. The peachy-ness of this particular color makes this gloss a good summer staple. I would rate the gloss a 4 out of 5 for how long it stays on the lips. It will stay on (perhaps because of how it's sticky) yet if you constantly lick or touch your lips the product will come off. Also, it should be applied every couple of hours to renew the shine. Overall, a good product from NARS.

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.

I love love love this lipgloss. It really is the perfect shimmery pink without being too much. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because I've also fallen in love with Philosophy's "big mouth" and I can't say NARS is better.

This is the best lip gloss that I have found. It is pricey for sure, but the full spectrum of colors are beautiful, and the texture of the gloss is great too. Shiny but not too, too sticky, and not too sickly-sweet smelling (I really hate that). As far as being long-wearing, I think it is comparable to other glosses--meaning no, it is not going to last for a long time and you will have to reapply during the day, but not constantly. Because of the price I can't experiment with as many of the colors as I would like, but at least I know that I will almost certainly love the ones I can get.

The most impressive choice of colours,non-sticky texture, not too shiny and no taste at all. It has a good staying power considering it is a lip gloss and a little bit goes a long way. It can be worn alone or over the lip-stick. I have it in Chiuaua (a subtle pink - it works perfectly with Orgasm blusher and Bellissima eye shadow) and in Giza (nectar/apricot - it works well with Luster blusher and Earth Angel eye shadow). A little bit pricey but the array of colours and the quality cannot be easily beaten by other brands.

Nars makes great lip gloss - evident from all the positive reviews on Amazon. It has a non-sticky texture with dense pigmentation, so you can go easy and end up with a stain, or do a couple of layers and have a beautifully laquered look. Shade-wise: Talitha is a beautiful night-out shade in a rich berry pink that borders on wine, which is super popular this Fall/Winter. Orgasm, however, is over-rated. It can be too orange creamsicle-ish, especially on light ivory skin like mine.

Lip glosses generally turn me off because I hate that super sticky feel...plus, it's never sexy when your hair gets stuck in your lip color. This gloss isn't so bad-- it's not super sticky and the color lasts longer than you might expect. I purchased it in Dirty Shame, and it looks awesome, a great berry color. It is a little expensive, but I'll definately refill when my tube runs out.
