Last December I picked up NAR's Turkish Delight after reading my rave reviews about this gloss.
Unfortunately (at first) I did not fall in love with this shade as many other reviewers have.
Don't get me wrong - It's a pretty color but not really suited for my lips/skin tone.
However, after putting it over a coral shade lipstick does make this lip gloss become very useful.
So rather than returning it I kept it and now it's nearly close to an empty tube.
For my birthday this year I treated myself to another lip gloss in the shade Chihuahua.
The color is pretty close to my lip color and just gives it a nice shine.
I'm not a big fan of just clear gloss. It gives a weird drool-ish look.
So something like Chihuahua where it's closer to my lip tone works perfect for me.
This shade is a dusty rose and has no glitter or shimmer. No reflects of anything. Just a creamy muted gloss.
It looks more natural with a hint of shine.
And then a lovely friend sent me a a Sephora gift card and I knew instantly what I wanted.
Had to pick up a new bottle of NARS Sheer Glow and then picked a new gloss color in Belize.
This color is gorgeous!
It's the shimmer version of Chihuahua but leans toward the brown family than pink.
Packaging very simple and chic.

i have turkish delight and it's the only one i ever tried. i just love how smooth their formulations are but the scent is nasty. i think these are my new favorite glosses. :]
They all look really nice. I hate it when you think something will work and it just doesnt. Im like that with nude lips. I just cant pull it off. Poop! Glad you found a way to use such a pretty colour though.
i really wanna buy some nars products but there expensive, i smelled a tube of their lip gloss and it does smell funky. lol have you tried the bronzer? I need one!
@ Jamie - I do love the formula. :) But I don't notice any scent? I'm going to have to smell mine again to be sure. LOL
@ SOOZ - I know what you mean - that happens with outfits a lot for me. LOL I like Turkish Delight but doubt I'll be repurchasing it. I'm not in love with it.
@ The_Perfectionist - I have Laguna bronzer and like it. I don't love it though. I think my favorite bronzer is by Chanel. :)
oohhh pretty...i know what you mean about colors and your natural lip color - sometimes i have to go quite dark or they won't show up... bummer.
Pretty! I have turkish delight and it just started to stink too quickly! That Belize color looks super beautiful! I totally agree about clear glosses and the drooly look, hahaha :)
everyone talks about Turkish delight and I always wonder if it's worth the hype
@ Kelsey - I honestly don't think I'll repurchase Turkish Delight. It's pretty over a lipstick but on my lips it just looks weird. Definitely test it out before purchasing.
