This is a slightly milky pale peach gloss with a little bit of shimmer. The shimmer does show up on the lips but it is quite subtle, not frosty or sparkly looking at all. I bought this fully expecting it to be sheer, but to my surprise it builds up nicely starting with a second coat. What I love about this is that the color is very natural and soft against my pale skin. It's a wonderful daily-type daytime gloss but is also soft/muted enough to look smashing with a smokey eye. Also I'm a sucker for that cute bow shape on top.
Now what I DON'T love about this, and why it's NOT my daily daytime gloss, is the smell. Very cloying, sickly saccharine odor of synthetic, chemical "cherry". I'm not usually sensitive to scent but this one is pretty strong, I can smell it on my lips for a while afterwards. And it smells pretty disgusting. It reminds me of the fake-"strawberry" scented toothpaste my old dentist used to shove down my throat. Not the best of memories. I will continue to use this tube up as I like the color/finish but don't think I would repurchase. Yes the scent is really that off-putting for me, and again I must emphasize I am usually not picky about fragrance. It's a nice enough gloss to be sure, just that the scent makes me hesitate each time I even consider using this.

When my online purchase for Nars Turkish Delight could not be tracked during shipping, I decided to get a cheap dupe. After reading so many reviews on dupes for Nars TD, I got this. I tried this over Mac Angel/Stripdown lipliner. On application it feels watery & has a light feel to it. The color is a light milky peach & despite the shimmer in the tube, it doesnt show on the lips..I paired this over a winged eye look and liked it. It did give me that "Mega Shine" the name promised but that wears off fairly quick.. I like the cherry scent (tho` it reminds me of some childhood antibiotic meds)....I also like fun cute bow on the applicator cap. This is gonna be my HG until USPS locates my Nars package... so Im gonna stick to it.

I was at the store looking for a gloss to wear over my Mac "Salute" lipstick in order to achieve the perfect nude lips. Upon trying it I was at first very disappointed by the smell (bubblegum?) that I had hoped would be a sort of vanilla. However, I still really like this gloss. It starts out sheer and builds to a nice color. If this smelled different, it would be my HG!

I picked this lip gloss up at a Beauty Warehouse in my area and I absolutely love it! It is a nude peachy-pink color and high gloss impact. I really love the smell...kind of like cherry/cotton candy/vanilla-ish scent but if you don't like scented glosses, this may not be for you...however for 2.99 a pop one can't really complain! I love MAC Velvet Teddy but can't afford to pay 14-15 for a lippie that I will go through in a month...This color is not as nude as Velvet Teddy but close to it. I recommend layering on top of NYX Natural or Circe or even use a nude lip liner (NYX has really nice lip liners as well!). This is not an everyday lippie for me but looks sooo beautiful paired with a smoky dark dramatic eye (kind of like Kim K look with dark eyes and nude lips!). Def recommend this lippie :)

I love this lipgloss! It's my favorite gloss to pair with nude or pink lipsticks. It's cheap, not sticky, and lasts a fair amount of time. I would advice those who are offended by scents however to stay away. I personally like the smell. My only downside to this gloss is the packaging. I have repurchased this gloss many times and have had a few tubes that have a problem with leakage. Just a heads up.

This was my first NYX lip gloss purchase and probably will be my last. The scent is reminiscent of cherry medicine. Despite the photos for the review, the colour was very sheer and gave me a very unflattering whitish cast. I will not repurchase.

best brand of lipgloss hands down. smells like kool aid, isnt stick whatsoever, and lasts a long time. it also comes in every color imaginable and its super affordable. sugar pie is a great toned down neutral great for everyday use. i would honestly buy it no matter what just for the smell alone.

After reading many rave reviews on NYX cosmetics I decided to give them a try... Ulta was closing and I was near the lip aisle and grabbed a couple glosses (for 50% off, I'm hoping this doesn't mean they won't be carrying them any longer). I'm thrilled with them! While this one takes a few coats to build up color, for the price I'm definitely not disappointed, I'm assuming the doe foot applicator probably has something to do with that though. The smell is good, I can't really describe it besides to say sweet, it has a non offensive tasty and doesn't seem to be sticky at all. For the price it's definitely unbeatable!

This is my first nyx lip gloss and I love it!
I know I'll be getting a lot of use out of it during the school year.
It's very wearable. :]
Pros: Nice nude color, not sticky, easy to apply, cute packaging
Cons: The cherry scent can be a little sickening.. (You don't smell once it's on your lips though!)

Lovely peachy nude color with gorgeous shine and a little bit of shimmer but not frosty. Tastes good (not really like anything but a general sweetness), looks good, has a nice consistency. Not sticky or gloppy but comes off in kind of a stringy way, which is unpleasant (the only flaw). Lasts well - even through eating and drinking some still shows up!

Update: Had to knock off a lippie. It rubs off gross - in little gloss strings and leaves the dreaded white lines on the lips. I have to say, despite the pretty color, it isn't worth it.

This was my first NYX lipgloss, however, I can honestly say it won't be my last! I've been looking for a nice lipgloss that isn't too sticky and that looks very neutral. I love this! The only negative side is that it is a little gritty on your lips, but nothing I can't handle.

Color: pale nude w/shimmer

Pros: creamy, not sticky, moisturizing

Cons: sheer (but buildable)

Comments: Once I have achieved the desired shade, this is actually quite pretty. It's not frosty whatsoever. I find the shimmer in it to be very pretty, actually. I wouldn't compare this to Revlon's Peach Petal - this is much more wearable, not milky, so it doesn't settle into lines. It makes a great nude lip and if you don't like it alone, it'll work great over a lipstick.

Will repurchase.

HG<3 Pigmented, pretty, pale, perfect worn alone or with lipstick underneath. Creamy NOT frosty! & Yummy @$$ scent ;) If you're looking for that Kim K lipcolor, this is a #totaldupe for NARS Turkish Delight. Wear this over Nyx Round Lipstick in the new Marrakesh Pink for that super pale peachy pink lip that makes up your smokey eye. (=

This is a dupe for Revlon Peach Petals gloss. Since NYX megashine glosses are my favorite, I would buy this Sugar Pie instead of the Revlon. The cherry taste is great, plus the opaqueness/quality of the gloss is great. Yes, it is nude. I usually wear it over a nude lip or use it to lighten/tone down a darker or brighter shade of lipstick. It works great for that purpose. It is like a magical cosmetic in that it can help to transform other colors and make them look better (kind of like Creme d'Nude lipstick by MAC). I will definitely repurchase.

Okay, I have to admit, at first I thought this gloss would be more of a sheer kinda glossy finish. BOYYYYY was I wrong. Lol, it's sheer, to a point. I put it on my lips and BAM! Frosty lips roar time. I like it, a lot, no doubt but I don't think I'll be using it much... considering I hardly wear nude lips and I do believe this lipgloss would look best over a nude lipstick...
But I did try it out over a nudie lipstick and I did like it. So I'm sure I'll use it on clients and such in the future :) There's always a use for something even if you won't use it yourself much!

My new favorite lipgloss. Beautiful pale pink lipgloss with an opalecent finish. Midweight in feel, not too much slip or too sticky but somewhere in between. Packaging is adorable with the black bow on the cap. Lovely sherbert scent (I wish the lipsticks where scented like this).

I looked at my NYX collection recently, and I realized I have a ton of Mega Lip glosses. However, I have a lot of the old school Mega glosses and not many of the new ones. I've seen this talked about quite often, and to me it's a better version of Revlon Peach Petal gloss. That looks too milky and harsh on me, and I have light skin. This has more of a baby pink shade, and it's not too sheer. You can wear this alone or over a lipstick that's nude or pale pink. I don't have to pile it on with a lot of layers. The only gloss that I hated from them was "Taupe", which was like beige milk on lips. I found this at my local Ulta, and the NYX shelf was recently redone. The other gloss in my picture is Cosmo.
