I finally got this one after years of curiosity.
Tried it on immediately - it is too light pink on its own on my rather dark pink lips. It works approx. when I blend it out a little with my fingers. Over Angel, it gives me the lightest pink I can possibly wear. I feel I do look slightly "ghostly" with the combo though, and wonder why it works on Kim Kardashian and not me?! I am quite sure she's darker than I am. Wel I do like it, it is just very very light. What is more flattering on me is Turkish Delight over Hug me/Mac lipstick. Lovely, lovely neutral pink.

I just today tried it on an older glittery l'Oréal lipstick, which was a lot more orange than I remembered. With TD over it it became the most amazing peach!
Great quality, does not last ultra long on me, but longer than other glosses. Not sticky in contrast to Dazzleglasses. Love it! Will repurchase!

My favorite lip gloss hands down. i can use it over most of my lipsticks and it will either give me a nude lip or a more bright/bold lip. It is not sticky like most lip glosses. There is no smell. It is very smooth and silky feeling. DOWNSIDE: expensive. it is quite pricey...

I bought this at Sephora about 8 months ago when I heard it was Kim Kardashian's favorite lipgloss for her famous nude lip, and overall I think this is a good lipgloss. It is a milky pink, which is perfect if you want pink-nude lips. However, the staying power isn't good at all, I have to reapply every hour. The other negative is it seems to leak, I'll put it down on a desk and when I come back a couple hours later, some of the gloss is on the desk. I may have just got a bad package, because I've never heard anyone else complain about that. Overall, this is a good pink gloss.

meh... this makes my lips blend completely into my face... but when I've seen it on people who have darker or tan skin it looks like the most perfect nude. Try before you buy I guess.

Overall, Turkish Delight is a gorgeous milky baby pink gloss. Like all NARS lipglosses, it does have a tackiness to it, and a not-so-pleasant smell. Because it is a VERY opaque, and light gloss, I cannot wear it alone. However, it is absolutely gorgeous on top of NARS Honolulu Honey lipstick.

Overall, the colour of this lip gloss was exceptionally nice with my lighter skin tone, and I absolutely love it. However, I drank a frappuccino about twenty minutes after putting it on, and (poof!) the lipgloss had disappeared off my face. :( Needs plenty of application throughout the day or else it fades. Packaging is nice because it is simple and easy. Quite expensive for the short last.

i have a yellow undertone to my skin and my lips are naturally very pigmented so alone this is not flattering on me at all. i originally bought it because i love kim kardashian's makeup and i hear she uses this lip gloss to achieve her look (along with MAC angel lipstick) that combo did not work for me and this alone is not flattering on me either. what I found to work is pairing this lipgloss with a very nude almost flesh toned lipstick (NYX lipstick in "cream") and it looks good.

however this is way over priced, for that i do not know if i will repurchase, Victoria Secret lipgloss in Innocent is the exact same thing and way cheaper

It's not fair to say I wouldn't repurchase this product because I didn't have to purchase it the first time -- I was given a tube as a gwp. And while the color is the best thing about this gloss -- or one of the best -- it's also the reason I wouldn't buy it again.

'Turkish Delight' is a light milky pink. It's really luscious; creamy and opaque. The shade isn't crisp though; so while it's a very light shade of pink it's also cool-toned... but barely. It seems to resent it.

Personally I was disappointed to discover that I can't wear this shade by itself -- i have enough olive undertones and deeply pigmented lips to neutralize all the effects that make this color awesome; in stead of light and dainty and girly and sweet on me it looks like I just stuck my face into a strawberry shake.

But NARS glosses are very nice. I really like the gloss consistency a lot. It's not at all sticky or gooey and has a soft feel on the lips; reminiscent actually of Guerlain glosses. I have no complaints about it whatsoever. The tube is generously sized (if overpriced). The packaging is perfectly acceptable; classic and spare; perfectly in step with the rest of NARS packaging. And I noticed no specific scent or flavor -- a little odd because I've read more than a few reviews complaining about the scent and/or taste of NARS glosses. However... I just don't see (or smell) it.

Overall in my opinion it's a great lipgloss. There's none of the stickiness of Clinique's long-wear glosses. It isn't as heavy or gluey as Chanel's glossimers. It isn't gooey and stringy and slimy like Bobbi Brown and even Laura Mercier can be. It's just softly liquid; like heavy whipping cream.

I love the shade and can wear it many ways if I pair it with other colors It's not especially long-lasting -- but then I don't need my glosses to be; I'm a constant touch-upper and I like doing it. The color is awesome if ultimately wrong for me; but that won't keep me from buying more NARS glosses in the future. I can't wait to try more colors... but it isn't likely I'll grab 'Turkish Delight' again. Lippies off for the price versus long-wearing ratio and the overall average packaging; for the money if it isn't going to last longer it could at least look more interesting. Kudos for the slant-tip applicator though.

I have a love-hate opinion on this lip gloss. I personally do not understand the huge rave about it. I don't see it as anything special. It is very expensive if you purchase it from Mecca in Aus. Because I heard so many good things about it I went ahead and purchased it for $55AUD. I find that it doesn't always go on smoothly and you sometimes get build-ups in some areas that you have to try and blend in. I wouldn't bother purchasing this item again.

I found this lip gloss when it was on sale at Sephora in the lipstain duo, and I can't get enough of it! I'm kind of picky with lipglosses - I find most are too sticky for my taste. The NARS lip glosses are slick, but not sticky at all! I really like how long these stay on the lips too - they lasted through a meal for me! I cannot wait to go out and get more!

Absolutely gorgeous!! My new favorite. I gave it 4 lippies instead of 5 because of the price (seriously...that much for a freaking lipgloss?? but its no different than MAC prices and I was in love with Baby sparks dazzleglass) and the fact that it doesnt seem to last very long on me...which means the tube or whatever wont last long either....but then again I have blown through 3 "tubes" of MAC baby sparks in like 2 months. Either Im a gloss eater or it just wears off easily. I have just now put it on and then sprayed my lips with urban decay all nighter so we'll see if that helps. Other than that, I ADORE it! I don't get a strong smell like others have mentioned. I use it with MAC's lipliner in dervish, followed by the lip conditioner in Petting Pink and top with turkish delight. I'm pretty tan so I was concerned it would Snooki me but it doesn't. Milky baby pink


****Added....ok what IS that nasty smell??? I think after a couple of weeks the smell comes through because it didnt have it at first. Yuck. It smells like dishwater

NARS Turkish delight is a milky-pink very pigmented lip gloss. It has thick consistency and lasts for ages. However I found that if I applied too much it either washed me out (when I'm pale) or made me look trashy (when I'm tanned).

I guess if you a after the whole pale-lips, tanned skin look - this might be THE gloss for you.

I was very dissapointed on this gloss. It was my first expensive gloss purchase and I figured "how can a light pink go wrong?" Well, it can. It's not a very sheer pink, it's actually very thick. If you have any color to your skin then you'll end up looking like a drag queen or Snooki. It also cakes into ANY lip creases. It doesn't last too long either. It's def. not worth the price!

Ugh, I REALLY wanted to like this lipgloss considering how well it looked on Kim Kardashian, and her sisters loved it as well. I bought mine at Sephora, but I didn't test it out because I hate how the girls who work there stare at you when you test out products (am I weird..?) So I just grabbed it and bought it. I have fair skin, green eyes and SUPER pigmented lips. A few shades lighter than red. I have no idea why I thought a very light, milky pink lipgloss would look good on my dark lips.
When I first put it on I could still see the color of my lips underneath since they are so dark. The lipgloss looked like it was cracking, and the cracks showed my natural lipcolor. I even tried pairing this over Mac's Angel (which Kim does) and it rubbed the lipstick around and therefore showed my lip color again! It also washed out my complexion.

GIRLS WITH DARK LIPS DON'T BUY!

Overall, I really liked it! I have very pale skin so this really looked good on me! The consistency isn't too runny or sticky! And you can't even smell it unless you put lipgloss right under your nose! If I can't find any good dupe for this, I will definitly be buying it again!

I'm a huge fan of nude and light lipcolor so I really wanted to love this. It's way too milky for an olive girl like me! It's an almost white pink. I don't know how Kim Kardashian can wear this because if anything I'm a tad lighter than her and this is way to light on me. It might be a nice nude for fair skinned girls though. I don't know about the staying power because I wiped it off as soon as I tried it since I looled like a clown but I assume it's not that great since it took one gentle tissue swipe and it was all gone. You'll break an arm and a leg trying to get chanel glossimer off, my hg, it stays on forever.

I don't get all the hype on this product. It's a sheer milky pink. That's it. Nothing special and nothing worth $24. I feel like I could go to a drugstore and find a thousands dupes for this. I truly do not get the hype and I wouldn't buy again.

While this product is uber expensive it's definitely worth it. At least in my opinion it is. I can definitely see why it's Kim Kardashian's favorite. It's a really pretty milky pink gloss. I find it more of a layering gloss than a gloss to wear on its own but it's still wearable alone. I love pairing it with Angel and Creme Cup.

I also really like the consistency of the gloss as it isn't sticky in conparison to MAC, which I love. There isn't really a scent although I know a lot of people don't like the scent of it but I don't really notice it. I like the applicator as well. Though it is a doe foot applicator, I find that it seems to soak up just the right amount of product. In comparison to again, MAC which I feel absorbs too much product.

Overall, love this lipgloss. Hate the price. It's a good thing there's swaps and I can get a discount on it Ahha.
