All I can say is LOVE IT! It is by far the sexiest lip colour I've ever worn and I will never go without this! The color is AMAZING and sexy!

I can't live without this! its a bright orange color ***AT FIRST*** when i apply it to my pink-pigmented lips, but that changes in about 5-6 minutes. it melts into a warm red color, which is why i can't live without it. i love the stickiness because it contributes to the staying powerrr!

- Love the colour - agree with others re: similar to having just eaten an orange popsicle.
- texture - very sticky, like mac clear lipglass, and stickier than their standard lipglasses. but I love sticky glosses, so I love this. very long lasting, probably the longest lasting lipgloss I've ever used.
- no flavour - yay!
- one lippie off only because it's rather expensive.

I love NARS products and this is the one and only l/g I have of the brand so far. There are a lot more shades I'd like to buy though. I picked up babe because I was searching for a warm pretty red that would suit my warm-toned skin. Most reds go pink on me but this one didn't. IMO, it's an orange based red, kind of an orangy-red popsicle shade on the lips. Very flattering and sexy. I'd rec it for anyone with yellow undertones that is looking for a true red gloss. It's fairly sticky much like mac l/g to me but but I really don't mind that.

Aaah, the gloss that started my addiction to Nars. Its this gorgeous red/orange with no shimmer. It gives great coverage and has lots of pigment but without being too opaque or milky. Even a crunchy, no makeup wearing, farmer friend of mine felt compelled to try it. It really does give the post-popsicle effect. And for a gloss, it lasts!

"I just had sex with a hot underage waiter who doesn't speak English in the cabana, and now I'm cooling off with a Flav-R-Ice."

I once heard the single life referred to as "lip gloss purgatory." Haha, you wish, you mouldering hag.

I have NARS' Babe and Scandal in the chrome family. And I must say, Babe is my favorite out of the two. I love orange-based reds! Many people complain about it being very sticky. While this is true, I found that if you apply a thin layer of lip balm before application it cuts out the tackiness. So those of you that love the color but quit wearing it because of stickiness, try this and see if it works for you. Or try applying Babe over a sheer lipstick such as Mally's famous Zooey Doll, also an orange-based red. You may still be able to enjoy your favorite lip gloss once again!!!

I LOVE this color! It's stands out when I wear it, i get tons of compliments, but it's sheer enough to lay on top of another lipstick. I like to wear it on top of Sunset Strip. SEXY!

A great sheer orange, Babe doesn't look like it would be at all flattering, but it is. It's glowy and incredibly subtle and makes you look like you just had an orange popsicle.I think it's one of the great, underrated Nars colors. It's also incredibly sticky, even for a Nars.

*Gorgeous*! In the tube this lipgloss looks flaming red, but once applied to the lips it becomes this gorgeous, sheer wash of vibrant red-coral! Not too flaming red at all! Just beautiful sheer, warm, radiant red-coral! Soooooo lovely! I love, love, love it! Babe is absolutely 5 lippies!!! :)

This gloss is pure hotness. Yes it is very sticky, probably on par with MAC for stickiness but the colour is so worth it. I like to wear this with just a touch of bronzer and simple black eyeliner because it screams sex.

I agree with the reviewer below this is thick and sticky, however since i adore the color so much, I am willing to still sing its praises! The color is a gorgeous orangey red popsicle color with no shimmer. Great shine and a bonus of the thick and sticky texture is excellent staying power. A great color for those who prefer warm reds..or even those afraid of red who want a sheer pop or color. Would look great with a tan or even on the very pale (such as myself) Would highly recommend for redheads as well. For reference, I am a PPP, redhead, with blue-green eyes. UPDATE: could no longer deal with the sticky factor, a shame b/c it is such a great color! Try YSL golden gloss #5 for similar color with superior texture

I like Nars lipglosses a lot but I hate that the texture is so extreme from one color the next. I would definitely recommend that someone try out a color before they buy it for this reason. Babe is a really sticky lipgloss, which is a little bit annoying. But I just put on a lipbalm to counteract that. Anyways, onto the color! I'm an NC42, and I really love it! It's a sheer orange which is so pretty on it's own, perfect for summer! And it's really nice to wear over red lipsticks (I'm a fan of orange-based reds).

EDIT: In the end, I couldn't deal with the stickyness of this lipgloss. Swapped it away.

Stickier than normal NARS lipgloss, the "chrome" lipgloss (scandal, revolt, and babe) are thicker than regular nars glosses and sheerer.

Babe is like glossy orange stained popsicle sexiness lips. Perfect with a summer tan.

I`m hopelessly addicted to this one. I find it very hard to get a red to suit my pale warm skintone (everything is too "blue" and turns fuscia on me). This is a perfect translucent orange red, that compliments my skin and makes my mouth look great. It goes particularly well with MAC lipstick in LadyDanger. I recently lost my tube and I feel twitchy without having it on standby - that`s how highly I think of it!

this was the first Nars lipgloss I ever purchased. I tried on just about every warm nars color ie.(any color I thought would look good on my warm skin tone). It's just a really fun summer/early fall(maybe) color that brings out my green eyes and the warmth in my skin. I like to pair it with mild eyemakeup and long black eyelashes. The splash of color really sets off a neutral outfit like grey or white. Wore this with turkish delight creme blush (LIGHTLY APPLIED natch.) and loved it. staying power pretty good with this particular color for some reason; almost leaves a stain to the lips after its worn off. smells kind of gross. oh well.

I love Babe! It is my absolute favorite color in a gloss and my favorite of NARS lipglosses. I have a ton of MAC which I prefer by far in taste but there is no other color in any gloss like BABE plus it lasts much longer than others. I am a GGG/hazel eyes and this color is my shining star for my lips.
