This is a solid drugstore lip gloss, but not my favorite. I love high-end glosses but have heard good things about NYX so I picked up Smokey Look during my most recent trip to Ulta. Smokey Look is a peachy-pink (more peach than pink) neutral nude gloss. It's peachy so there are more orange tones in the gloss but it's not quite coral like a previous reviewer stated. The color reminds me of a more opaque version of Revlon Nude Lustre. Consistency is just the right amount of stickiness without being too watery or gluey. Pigmentation is okay, but I can't wear this on its own (needs lip liner at the very least to get the color to show up on my lips). Also, I could do without the cherry cough syrup scent. Love the bow design on the cap of the tube, which feels pretty sturdy. I paid about $4 for mine and am glad I gave this gloss a try, but wouldn't repurchase.
For those who are interested, the label says it's Made in S. Korea.
For reference, other lip colors I wear: MAC Hug Me lipstick, MAC Subculture lipliner, Nars Chihuahua lip gloss, and Boots Flirt lip gloss.

This lip gloss is a nice nude coral color and its super pigmented! Don't expect this gloss to be a sheer color, it comes out very strong on your lips, which I love. It has a strong scent, I'd say it smells like artificial cherry but its quite nice. I would buy this again, but I don't think that I will need to because it's gonna last me forever!

Very pretty coral nude color. I find that this gloss is very moisturizing and not very sticky. There is a strong fragrance, but it's not overpowering and I actually kind of like it. I would love to try more colors. I bought this at Ulta for 4.00 which is a good deal.

I may be in the minority here, but I didn't really like this particular NYX gloss. It seems to settle in the fine lines of my lips more than others, and only is uniform if i use my fingers to apply it. The color itself is pinky coral, and I don't find it to be a good l/g to pair with my usual taupey brown eyeshadow. The smell also seems overly strong in this compared to other NYX glosses.

Basic peachy pink nude gloss. Staying power is ok, and its not sticky. For the price I think these are on point.

I bought smokey look on a bogo sale at Ulta. I saw a few reviews for this gloss and heard it was a dupe for Nars turkish delight (the kim k. gloss) but I actually think Nyx megashine gloss in neutral or beige looks more like turkish delight. However, it is still a really nice shade of light beige with a hint of coral. It has a small bit of shimmer too.

Very nice nude color, without much shimmer, which is what I need. Goes with everything. Natural and good looking. Except the smell...
I would love it better if it's more matte, but the version now is a little bit more polished.

Yeah, it's great for a smokey eye but I found NYX shades that I actually like better for that purpose. On its own though, it's a beautiful nude color that can go with anything, and has great staying power for a gloss. I usually wear Colorstay clear lipliner underneath and it holds up even better.

I'm a huge fan of the clearer, jelly types of lipgloss that come in the squeeze tubes, but I thought I might give a more colored gloss a try. Ulta was having a sale, so I bought a couple (normally $5). It's definitely a winner. The color is a pretty peach-pink (more on the peach side, I think) with a little sparkle. It's definitely stickier than what I'm used to, but it does stay on longer. Also, I find that when I put it on, I have to blend it out a little with my finger or some chapstick because it will goop up in places. But once it's all blended, it's really flattering. It smells good, kind of like bubble gum. I think the packaging is nice, especially the matte black handle. The applicator is an angled doe-foot. Overall, a good, inexpensive lipgloss.

Ulta was having a buy two get one free. One of the three I got is Smokey Look. It is a color I prefer to wear to work, and of course with a smokey eye. I really like how moisturizing and smooth this feels on my lips. The applicator reminds me of the one used by L'Oreal Infallible only a little smaller. I would repurchase if I ever run out. The problem is I am always buying and trying other colors and lip gloss brands that I rarely run out of anything. It seems like I have a bunch of HG colors, all similar, the nude peachy pink color. This one is very pretty and recommend it to anybody who adores the nude/natural look.

Bought this a couple of weeks ago when my local Ulta was having a buy one get on 1/2 off sale for all Nyx products.. Id have to say that I definitely prefer nyx lipglosses over mac lipglass. im not a fan of stickiness when it comes to my lip products. This lipgloss applies nice and smooth. The color is a light neutral peach tone with no shimmer. Looks great with both a neutral or smokey eye. I love it! will def. repurchase.. This product has awesome quality and pigmentation for the price..

BEAUTIFUL neutral beige/nude color... one problem with it though. The packaging SUCKS! It leaks and won't tighten down properly, so it's always exposed to air and gets sticky quickly. The older, round packaging was far better and left the glosses - well, GLOSSY, not sticky. It also kept your makeup bag from becoming gooey, too!

LOVE THIS GLOSS! lovely nude peach colour for less than half the price of expensive brands ($3.00 vs $30.00!) when i compare this to my MAC florabundance gloss, this wins hands down. which is pretty sad for MAC really...

I got this gloss without seeing it first. The first time I put it on I thought ughhh I don't like the color because it's peachy. The smell was ok and the gloss itself is pretty pigmented and smooth. I tried it on a couple more times and started liking it more and more. It's not too sticky and I'm starting to like the smell.
It's a lovely neutral color that complements my pigmented lips. Normally when I try on any gloss my lip color ruins the original color because it's darker. (I'm a fan of pink lips) This formula is great I like it a lot for everyday wear.
Packaging is great in a tube with a bent wand, so I don't have to pump my wand in the tube to get lipgloss out.

I love this lipgloss. The name matches it perfectly and totally helps me complete the classic smokey look. I finally found the perfect nude color for my NC44 skin that doesn't make me looked washed out. Will definitely repurchase. Oh yah and it's a plus that this gloss has a nice citrus scent without being too overwhelming!

I was looking for a nude gloss, and bought this without thinking when i saw it on sale at cherry culture website for like $2. I had no high expectation since I'm used to pricier glosses like dior and MAC. So i was pleasantly surprised when i tried it on! It's VERY pigmented, much more than dior addict glosses. The color is peachy nude and it lightens my pigmented lips. Perfect! The consistency is a bit watery and slippery... and also somewhat sticky. Because the color payoff is so good, i have to give it 5 stars. It does settle into fine lines on my lips after a while, but all i have to do is smack my lips together and viola -- smooth again! It contains 0.53 fl oz of product (compare to 0.17 fl oz for MAC lipglass) so this gloss is extremely budget friendly. However, I am still a little paranoid about putting a "cheap" gloss on my lips, so i'll have to wait and see how my lips react to it.

This is what I keep hoping to find in a nude lipstick, but they are always too difficult to wear and make my lips look flakey. I LOVE this lipgloss - it is everything I was hoping it would be - a really opaque, peach colour. I can't comment on the staying power as I am a person who is always messing with her lips, but I loooooove this gloss! It is a solid peach colour with no shimmer or frost. EDIT This is my favourite lip gloss ever. I am thinking of getting a back up, which I have never ever done before. If I only had this for my lips, and nothing else, I could survive.
