I totally LOVE this. I got it as part of a set with 4 other glosses & I'm surprised that I didn't buy the full size when it was released. On me, this is a peachy pink with a gold shimmer throughout & at times it appears duochrome - when it hits the light, you can see this colour duality. It imparts a gorgeous sheen on my lips & really suits my skintone nicely. This gloss is relatively opaque, so unlike other colours in the Nars lipgloss range which are sheer, this gives you almost a full coverage. This is great for me when I want to cover up any spots of redness, but don't want to go for a full lipstick opaqueness.


As others have mentioned - it has that same smell of all Nars lipglosses and laquers - lanolin & a bit plastic. However I have just become used to it. I also like the consistency of the lipglosses (on the thick side), as I find it helps them stay on longer than other lipglosses. Overall - this is a winner for me & probably in my top 5 favourite lip glosses, so will be re-purchasing again.

There is something very sexy about this gloss in Orgasm. It the final piece of my make-up puzzle...and it just seems to complete my look. Kinda sexy, fun, flirty...gotta have it! ;)

I haven't tried the blush, but I heard it complimented any skin-tone so I thought the gloss would do the same. I'm so glad I tried this in the store instead of just buying online because it was just awful on me. It sounds right, a corally pink with gold shimmer, but it just looked terrible. Not natural at all, really pale and frosted. Instead of making my lips look colored it made them colorless and shimmery. Totally gross. It was gloppy, but no more or less than any other gloss. It was sort of bitter too, which I find NARS lip products to be.

I was really excited when I purchased this product...until I got home and tried it on. The color is nice, but the consistency is almost paste-like. It felt like glue on my lips. I prefer MAC lipglasses and Smashbox glosses over this one.

I was realy looking forward to trying this product but I have to say I am a little dissapointed with it. It is a nice gloss with a pretty subtle shimmery colour but the smell is awful. Kind of reminds me of plasticine (plus it tastes awful). Its quite a thick consistency, don't know if that's goot or bad realy. However it does last a while when on but I've tried far cheaper lipglosses that do a better job. Love the colour but the gloss is icky, won't be buying a NARS lipgloss again which is realy disappointing as I love the NARS range. I'll stick to YSL I think.

This lipgloss is described as a shimmery, peachy-pink on the Sephora website and I purchased this gloss along with the Orgasm blush after reading rave reviews on both products. I must say, this lipgloss is really nothing special color-wise. Yes it's pretty in the tube...a peach-pinky shimmery gloss but, I can find a similar color from other brands for much cheaper. MAC's Nymphette lipglass is a close dupe to this for $10 cheaper. On my lips, the color is unremarkable and looked almost too frosty gold. Also, I don't like the consistency. It's way too tacky and I'm surprised some reviewers didn't find it as such but...to each their own. To me it literally felt like I was smearing glue on my lips. When I had this on, my hair had to be up or else it would be stuck to my lips in no time. All in all, it's an average gloss but way expensive for what it is.

This is a pretty color, and would probably very flattering to most skin types. It has no scent and is fairly moisturizing and not sticky. Too bad it costs way too much and the color is easily found in other collections for a much cheaper price.

I was really dissapointed in this product. I am a big fan of Nars products, but this one I had to return to sephora. The texture is not the same is the nars lipglosses i normally like (turkish delight, chihuahua, belize). It's alot more sticky, and the color is just unflattering on me. I have asian skin, and am on the lighter side of NC35. This lipgloss color also reminds me of Mac nymphette lipglass, but I would rather have the mac one. they are both sticky, same color, but the mac one is cheaper and comes without that plasticky smell/taste. I suggest to anyone who wants a color similar to orgasm to go with mac nymphette.

This is a beautiful colour! I got it in the set with turkish delight, greek holiday, dolce vita and striptease. I would never have bought it on its own, but now that I have it, I would buy it. Its very pretty worn alone, and also over a berry colour lip stick, i like it with Cliniques Shy. The packaging is quality, the gloss is not sticky AT ALL! Which is awesome!

This is such a beautiful lipgloss! at first, I did not like it. I decided to try this on my lips without any lipstick, and it was a basically a sheer color. Boo, I thought- but I then decided to try it over MAC's myth lipstick (which I just slightly blot on) and this looked gorgeous over it! the true pinky/gold color came out and looks just perfect paired over top Myth, NYX's circe and orange soda lipsticks :) what I love about this color, is the gold undertone- its so unique and something I have never seen before. I received a mini of this in a swap, and I plan on getting the full size....even though it will cost quite a bit. The lipgloss is odorless and tasteless, which isn't to much of a bother. I am so happy I have finally tried 1 thing from the famous NARS 'Orgasm' line...Cannot wait to try the blush one of these days.

*UPDATE*

After my first use, I could no longer stand the smell and waxiness of this gloss- also, it is not long lasting.

This product is great for all skin tones (unlike what the reader below mentioned). I think it looks great on tanner girls with a pink blush in the summer. Its a shimmery orange/pink color that also looks good with a nude lipliner underneath, which creates a more interesting nude color. Just try it out on the counter and see for yourself!

I bought this lipgloss in the summer time and I only started really using it now (winter). When I was darker (NC42), I didn't love the shade on me. The colour didn't really show up and it just looked 'blahh' on me.

But now in the winter, I have lost some of my tan (NC35), and now I'm in love with this gloss. The colour and the sheen make my lips look amazing. It honestly looks like the perfect lipgloss colour I've been looking for for years.

I highly suggest this lipgloss if you're fair skinned, however darker skin tones beware! You won't love it.

Oh, I find the lipgloss kinda sticky (I'm tolerable when it comes to lipglosses), and there isn't any flavour added to the lipgloss- which I like. However, it is really expensive! I spent about 30 dollars after taxes (Canadian)

I don't think I'll be repurchasing, it's too expensive for a product that l'd only wear in the winter.

I'm very happy with this gloss. I have pale skin and blonde hair. On my lips it looks similar to the photo that is provided. I'm really pleased at how long-lasting it is for me, even after finishing a cup of coffee. It is far from sticky to me - not sticky at all. Feels nice and velvety. I purchased this because I've been in love with Orgasm blush for so long. It's my first NARS gloss, but it won't be my last. I would strongly suggest that you try it first if you're thinking of buying it...or buy it from somewhere that accepts returns. I say this because it's pretty iridescent and even looks glittery on me in some lights. This works really well for me, but I can see how others would not like it.

I'm a makeup guru and i LOVE this lipgloss. Its such a pretty color that you can put on with basically any color of lipstick. It has a nice sparkle to it and it isn't sticky. A LIL expensive, but worth it. I really recommend this, and I will for sure buy this again.

I had been looking for a perfect peach lip gloss and I came across NARS Orgasm. It was very pretty in the tube so I went on and invested in this expensive gloss. It was very pretty on but my only issue is that it looks very irredescent against my skin. Im an NC45 for MAC people and a Warm Tan for Bare Minerals users out there. I had to layer it on to make the color show up on me.

On me, light skin w/ yellow undertones, this is a nice nude-y gloss perfect for the smokey eye look. I can see that not too many people can pull this off and it does tend to wash out. The key is to use only one light coat, to give it some shine and thus remove the potential for chalky-ness. It is not as glossy as other NARS lip glosees (I find NARS' lip gloss texture to vary significantly, more than I'd like). I am giving it 4 lippies as I do like it as a nude lip option, but it is not as perfect as NARS' Mitzi lipstick is on me for a natural/nude lip.

I just got this! And I LOVE it! I think I just found my HG gloss. I am light/neutral medium skin tone with dark hair and eyes. This seriously is soo flattering on me. I am in love! I will never be without this. It is so hard to for me to pull of pinks without looking pasty and this is the ultimate color for me!! I think if you have dark hair and light/neutral skin this will work. It doesnt feel sticky to me at all, kinda creamy and velvety.

Not a fan! As much as Orgasm blush seems to be universally flattering, the gloss is really tough to wear! I agree with some other reviewers that this would likely flatter fairer-skinned girls. I'm olive/medium. I've tried this when I'm tan and not and it doesn't work for me. The consistency is pretty sticky as well. Like anything, I'm sure it is great on some, but if you're thinking it is a "no brainer" like Orgasm blush, I would reccomend trying it before buying!
