I got this at sephora in a special packaging that comes with a lip tint (sayonara i believe its called) for only $10. I'd heard so much hype about this lipgloss, i figure i'd try it for such a low price. Thank god i didnt drop the full amount on this lipgloss! at best, its a cute color...but soooooo overrated! it does not last long and is too milky for tan/olive girls, plus its got that cheap synthetic smell. On a positive note, i really liked the lip tint! its a pretty, deep pink - just the right amount of brighteness to it, got lots of compliments on it.

I like this color because it a perfect light pink, there is slight chemical smell. It doesn't last very long but that is to be expected since it is a lipgloss. Very good color payoff though.

i LOVE this gloss! perfect milky pink colour & i love that it has no shimmer. especially good to be paired with a smokey eye, goes on best over a lip treatment to stop it sinking into lines in your lips.. and worn by Kim Kardashian,, whats not to love :P
*NOTE: i live in Australia, when i buy this direct from America, its quite cheap for me because our cosmetics are much more expensive! :(

Yay! My first review! Anyway, I bought this at my local Sephora, because i wanted a baby pink gloss that would hopefully compliment my skin. the SA reccomended this, and chihuahua. I chose this for Chihuahua did not look good at all with my hair. This was my first NARS purchase, and i am wearing it now. i was exited because Kim Kardashian wears this all the time. I may not repurchase, because Nars are way too expensive to do that kind of thing unless thiss is your HG gloss. I definintly want to try the other nars glosses now. Oh, and they gave me a free sample of Orgasm blush!

This has to be one of the best pink glosses out there. It honestly looks lovely on everyone! I will def repurchase. I agree with the fragrance issue as it has a very producty kind of scent but it's not completely horrific! And if only it lasted a little longer as I feel like I am always reapplying it..but it's too brilliant a colour to not repurchase it if only there was a longer lasting dupe!!

Love love love this gloss!! I originally was going to get Madere, but the saleslady suggested I try Turkish Delight for a similar color, with more moisture. Turkish Delight is a pretty nude pale pink, it is richly pigmented and gives lips a nice creamy look. After trying it on I just loved it, I still have to find a perfect base color for this, I think Myth won't work, maybe I'll end up buying Madere after all since I feel that these 2 colors would be a match made in heaven. However worn alone it looks nice too :). Keep in mind that this has a purple/blue undertone.

Very pretty pale baby pink. Looks great alone or or over a nude lipstick. Very expensive for such a small tube but i love the color so much i will probably re buy. People tend to complain about the smell but i dont mind it at all. Just wish it was cheaper or i could find a perfect dupe.

This is my go to pink lipgloss. Looks wonderful with smoky dramatic eyes. I do not notice any odd odor/taste that other reviewers have mentioned. Great color and milky smooth application. Definitely will buy again when I'm low.

I am seriously in love with this gloss! I'm fair, but my lips are pretty pigmented so even with a clear gloss they tend to be my most dominant feature. The Turkish Delight lightens them up enough that the focus can move to my eyes, even if all I wear on them is some mascara.

I find it's best applied over a lip balm. It fixes the problem of it settling into lines and allows it to cover the color of my lips better. It ends up a pretty milky pink. I love the finish of this too. It's shiny without looking wet and sticky. It's almost like it sets after a bit and feels more like a lipstick than a gloss.

I have a whole basket full of glosses but I've used this one practically every day since I got it from a swap. Despite the insane price tag I will have to repurchase this when I run out.

More expensive than I normally spend on lipgloss, but after reading raves about it and how great it goes with smokey eyes, I decided to splurge and try it.

I didn't really mind the smell and I didn't taste it either on my lips once applied, but most of the color seemed to settle in the lines of my lips. I never thought I had wrinkly lips or anything but maybe I do? I don't usually have this problem with gloss.

However I tried it over Myth and Revlon's Soft Nude and it seemed like it worked better over l/s than without l/s. The texture wasn't as sticky as Mac Lipglass, which I like.

Overall, I wish this worked out better for me than it did. I'll keep trying out diff. methods of wearing this, but if this is all I can pull off with Turkish Delight I'd rather save that money for something I can wear by itself too.

I am always looking for lipsticks and glosses that tone down my pigmented lips. Turkish Delight does just that. I love that I can wear this alone or over l/s. A lot of light colors wash me out (NC20), but this one just looks fresh and pretty. Lasting power isn't long since it isn't a sticky gloss, but it feels moisturizing and comfortable on the lips.

I bought this after a Nars makeover. This is one of the best lipglosses I have ever had. I would gladly pay the price for it again. The color has been well described, but I think it is pink with some milkiness. I have bought probably tens of dozens of pink lipglosses, but have never found one quite like this. First, the color is more flattering than I've experienced before. It is really lip enhancing, too, even without a liner. I am amazed that it is pale yet seems to have so much pigment and oomph. I haven't noticed any taste or smell. It isn't sticky, but thick enough to be reassuring that it is there. When it wears off there is still a flattering pink color to my lips. It seems to smooth out my lips; I haven't noticed it settling in cracks, or anything else detrimental to the texture of my lips. I put it on thickly and then press my lips together to even it out. I have tried a couple of liners with it and it doesn't make the liners bleed or melt. Ine that looks good is Jordana Easyliner in Sugar Bronze. I've used just a touch of this after putting on the gloss. My skin tone is around NS15-20, but I have a bit of gold that makes me neither of these tones, exactly. My lips are mauvey, actually too pigmented. This gloss tones it down, softening my face. Really, I can't be happier with this gloss.

Although I would give Nars credit for having the lovliest shades, the packaging and odor have convinced me to never buy these glosses again. They also have no longevity and deteriorate very quickly. So sad.

Turkish Delight has been purchased by me as a result of guru hype and I have to say the purchase had been a great one! I have always been a fan of NARS and they have done it again, a super silky, non-sticky, luxurious lip gloss. The lipgloss alone is much to sheer, milky and settles into fine lines however, paired on top of a lipstick and it transforms the color of your lips into the perfect ones to be paired with dramatic eyes. The lipsticks I love to pair it with are Viva Glam Gaga and Dior Addict LipColor in Pink Bustier. The lipgloss does not have a scent. If you are not new to NARS products, you will be familiar with their packaging, the gloss tube feels incredibly smooth and silky in your hand and although does not affect the gloss, is an elegant touch.

This is definitely an HG lipgloss for me...I'm surprised to see that it only has 4 stars....Turkish delight has been in my purse for many years and when I lose one it's like the end of the world for me. The paleish, pink color gives me the most delicious lips ever! lol, it's actually my boyfriend's favorite lipgloss on me as well & for a guy to give his opinion on makeup...well that says a lot. I could see this working on any skin tone. It also looks beautiful when applied over purple lipsticks.

This is a terrible lip gloss! The color is a ghastly opaque pale pink, made me look like a ghost. It also magnified my lip lines, showed me wrinkles I didn't even know I had!

Although I love Nars lip gloss in general, this is absolutely the worst lip gloss I have tried! Ditch this shade!

i had to try this. i love kim kardashian's makeup and this is supposed to be her favorite, right? after buying this, i can say i don't understand the hype. it really looks gorgeous on but the staying power sucks and it totally dried out my lips! literally, made them dry out and start flaking. ick. and the price is just crazy stupid. oh, AND the tube started leaking and it just became such a mess, i had to throw it away! what a waste of a pretty color...i'm usually a big fan of NARS but this product annoyed me. don't bother, there are plenty of dupes out there. i heard victorias secret lip gloss in pink is the same color, better formula.

Since I have very lightly pigmented lips, turkish delight does give me a nude lip effect. I guess it all depends on your lip pigmentation because I've heard that this gloss will do nothing for dark skinned ladies with pigmented lips. The consistency of the NARS lipglosses are absolutely amazing. If you hate sticky gloss (ahem.. MAC) like me, and you still want gloss from a high end line, check NARS out!

NC40 for reference.

This lip-gloss is overrated and I am a complete dumba** for spending so much on a lipgloss that doesn't even give any color by wearing it on it's self. I only wear this on top of my lip sticks if i want that "sheen" look. I do like wearing Mac's "Snob" and then this over it...very nice combination. Overall..I will not repurchase. I bought a lipgloss @ Express that is the same exact dupe for this..except for a lot cheaper. about 20 dollars cheaper to be exact. never again.
