After years of umming and ahhhhing I finally picked up Turkish Delight. The shade doesn’t suit me in the slightest but with a lovely brown based nude I feel I can pull it off. Despite the sturdy plastic packaging, it looks and feels cheap which is not a good indication of the $40+ I forked over at Mecca Beauty.
When opening the lipgloss you don’t need to unscrew the lid right the way up, just 2 twists and the wand springs up – I quite like that. The wand is a doe foot applicator and probably what I detest most. It looks soft but once I press it (lightly against my lips) I can feel that it’s quite hard. I expect I bit of cushion with it.
The colour is a milky baby pink which no doubt looks amazing on fair to tan skin but for those that are part of the chocolate club like myself I think it looks better paired up with your favourite nude lipstick or lipliner.
In terms of performance it’s just average. It gives a lovely gloss but after 2 hours it begins to fade to a sheen. I don’t find it overly tacky but I do notice a manufactured kind of scent which I find a bit much. I will not be repurchasing anymore lipglosses from this range nor would I recommend it.
Full disclosure, I'm not the biggest lip gloss fan but I am a really big fan of NARS. For this reason I decided to purchase this lip gloss as I really loved the colour and thought the consistency might grow on me.
However, it was just too sticky for my liking, and I didn't like how it felt on my lips. The smell was inoffensive though, and it did look pretty. However, for the price I'm sure other lip glosses probably do the same job. It looks cute though!
