I love this lipgloss color with MAC Oak. I was looking for something to make my lips look a tad pink (it makes my teeth look whiter) but not too bright or too chalky. The first time I tried it, I used a different lip liner and also tried it with no liner. I hated it. I passed it up. Recently I was carrying my oak liner so I tried it again and wow! What a great combination. The oak liner on me blends well with the color of my lips so the gloss just stands on it's own with a bit off depth if that makes sense. I am MAC NC25 and Giorgio Armani 5.5. I think skin color makes a huge difference with this combination.

Very nice nude color...I would describe it as a milky consistency with hues of pink.
Disappointment for me is that the lipgloss smells like a real makeup product, not something edible. Haha...I mean it in a way that MAC lipglosses and dazzleglasses smell wonderful and make me enjoy putting it on but this just has a nice color, not a very pleasant smell.
A little on the expensive side, my little splurge. :)

love the color sooo much. i know this gloss washes some ppl out but i am NC 30 and i don't have that problem. does have a funky scent to it that's not very pleasant but i can tolerate. smooth feeling on lips rather than sticky yet still very long wearing. good pigmentation, not a watery gloss, quite thick. truuuue milky pink color. however, there are cheaper alternatives. victoria secret innocent (12$) and loreal le gloss baby blossom (6-8$) i have all three and i reach for any of the three for a milky pink color. they all have diff texture and subtly different finishes but all look great as milky pink colors and looks nearly the same on the lips. you might be always unsatified like i was in finding a dupe, i wasn't happy until i bought the nars turkish delight (i bought the other 2 first b/c didn't want to spend the money for nars) but once i got the nars, i felt i had 3 of the same products lol. but nars is longest wearing, second is victoria secret, and lastly loreal.

Perfect gloss to finish off an evening look i use this on top of Mac's Please me lippie paired with a jewel toned smoky eye and a matte blush.

I adore this gloss more than any other nars gloss and I own around 10+ of them.

This gloss will look good on all women it is perfect.

I will buy again after i finish my tube (my 3rd in 2 years).

This is my favorite lipgloss. I wear it almost every day and always have it with me. I have tried the dupes (Bonne Bell Lip Lites Strawberry Parfait and Revlon Peach Petal) and I do not think they compare in quality to the sublime and lovely Turkish Delight. Turkish Delight is moisturizing and soothing. It makes my lips look soft and pretty and feel pillowy. I do not wear this with lipstick- it's beautiful all by itself. It is not sticky, so it does not stay on my lips for a long time- a couple of hours at most if I do not eat or drink. It does not settle into the cracks of my lips as others have said, but I do not apply it in a superthick layer. I love it with a smoky eye, and it also looks pretty with a more natural look. NARS lipglosses have a reputation for having a yucky smell, but I do not smell it at all.

First i didn't but this because I heard Revlon's Peach Petal (or something like that) was a dupe...and althpugh I made that work with some bright lipsticks I didn't love it...Then I went to Sephora and decide to buy this....I think the swatch is reaaally very pretty!!! I'm NC40 and I like this color over MAC Angel, but by itself there is no way I can make it work on my lips, so by any means I will use it by itself.
I think it is very expensive for a lipgloss...about the smell it's not nice like MAC ones, but I don't think it is something excesive...I mean you can smell it if you smell directly de lipgloss, but once applied you can't notice it.
The consistency as everybody has said is sticky and it will settle into fine lines, so you have to exfloiate really well your lips before using it!
I won't buy ths again because I have so many glosses that it will last me forever!!!

this is the WORST lipgloss ive ever used not only is it a milky ugly color and it settles into ever lip line possible but i think the worst thing about it is THE SMELL .... i thought maybe i got a bad one so i took it back to Nordstrom and smelled another new one ... it litterally smells/tastes like cow fat ... or something rancid thats decaying... nasttyy

I'm a huge NARS blush/highlight and eyeshadow fan. Deep Throat is one of my Top 5 most loved products, so I have great respect for the brand. It's great, but for as much hype as the gloss and Turkish Delight specifically receives, I was not at all impressed!

My main complaint is how dry and cracked it leaves my lips feeling after it's worn off. I'm not sure if I'm allergic to something in it, but it is extremely drying on me. My lips have to be in PERFECT condition (and in winter that's just not likely to be the case) or they appear flaky and gross with this color applied. I do not enjoy it all, and actually prefer my Revlon Super Lustrous lip gloss or any Mac Lipglass over this product.

Overall, I wasn't devastated enough to return the purchase, but if it's something you've been pining after and saving for, I'd encourage you to think twice.

I really like this lipgloss. It is a light baby pink and not sticky. I have to admit that I fell a bit into the hype when I bought this, but I have worked out how I like to wear it.

This is not a gloss I wear on its own over bare lips. I find that when I do that, the gloss sinks into the lines on my lips and doesn't look flattering at all. I tend to pair it over a lipstick. For darker lipstick, I find that the gloss will lighten the overall colour/look and for lighter shades, it adds a very nice glossy effect.

Very happy with my purchase and I would definately repurchase.

This gloss is very popular and the only reason why its cause kim kardashion promoted it. I bought it and wasn't very pleased with the quality of the product. The taste is not really good and considering it's a lipgloss, the taste is something important. Plus, it doesn't stay long on your lips and doesn't blend well with a lipstick. The color is really nice and it's one of the only reason i like the gloss.

overall this is a beautiful color. I am medium to dark medium skinned and this gloss is more suited for very pale to light complexions. exfoliating lips if a total must before applying this gloss. The color settles into the lip lines and any flaws or chapped skin will show.

As a fan of KimK's makeup, I purchased this lip gloss...and I was not disappointed in the least. The color is beautiful - whether using it bare on the lips or to top off another color. The price is steep for a lip gloss - but the texture is so creamy (not tacky) and the color is amazing =)

When used by itself without lipstick underneath, it would definitely be too pale. However, when used to top off bright red or pink (or even purple) lipsticks, this lipgloss never fail to impress me!


It acts as a downtuner for my unbearably bright lipsticks. I would usually fear bright lipsticks, but with Turkish Delight at hand, bright lipsticks are no longer a big fear for me. Five stars for being the best accompaniment for my scarily bright lipsticks :) Would definitely suit any skin tone.

I tried this out the counter and i am so happy that i did not purchase it. As most girls i love Kim Kardashians make up and thought she has colour to her skin as do i being indian so i will try it. I even went to the MAC counter tried on Angel first then went to NARS and tried this gloss on top. It did not not look good. its was to milky and did make me look washed out so glad i did not just go and buy it. As always my advice try before you buy.

Ok, the price. Normally, I'd NEVER spend 24 bucks plus tax on a damn lip gloss. But, I decided to spoil myself.

What the heck is up with NARS lip glosses' smells? I have never smelled suck a terrible scent in a lip gloss in my life. You'd think for the price theyd at least make it scentless or something.

It has a very nice texture. I feel the color is very hit-or-miss on people, so make sure you try it first.

Overall, it's a decent gloss (hopefully I'll get used to the smell.) Try it over Maybelline's Born With It lipstick.

I just bought it and used it over Mac Angel l/s. It suits me perfectly! Definately the best pink colour I've ever applied on my lips. Works perfectly on asian skin. (I'm NC 40-42).
