The Best I've Ever Used
I've been using the City Lips Nude for several years because it's the most flattering shade of lip gloss that I've ever tried. And I've tried countless lip glosses. I'm grateful to have found it.
Good product, but not...
Good product, but not sure how much I like the more matted look. I feel like it sort of fills the color on my face washes my lips out as it matches the rest of my face.
City lips is so gentle, yet so powerful when it comes to lips!! Love it!
City lips is the best …it does all the stuff you guys claimed it does….I love it as i dont like color on my lips, so the clear totally works for me…but my daughter loves all the colours as well..❤️
I just wrote my review ‼️
So I use city lips clear before going out in the day & it always stays on even when I'm drinking coffee & eating 😊I also put it on before bed & when I wake up it's still there❣️it's certainly taking away my smokers lines🙏THANKYOU city lips for your great product🤗
I was disappointed the product was giving very high standards but i have used the city lips for nearly a week and nothing i was hoping for at least a little but nothing
City Beauty’s response
Hi Cheryle, we're sorry to hear this. Results vary for everyone, which is why we offer a 30-day Refund Promise. Many users see the best results with twice-daily use for 30 days. For best results: exfoliate first, apply to clean/dry lips, and use a generous amount at night and twice a day consistently.
Love this formulation!
I've been using this product for years, and I really love their formulation of lipgloss. It keeps my lips moisturized. I'm a lip biter so this stuff has really helped me immensely.
I love this red gloss!
I love this red! I'm always looking for a good red gloss and this is doing perfectly. I also like their formulation. And the fact that they were able to make a red is awesome
wonderful product for all ages
I use the clear City beauty clear lips every night because it moisturizes not only my lips but the area around my lips to prevent lip lines. Love this product.!!! the colored lips, especially Sun Diego,
I love this lip gloss although i see zero plumping from it but its so glossy and long lasting that i keep it always stocked. I wear it every single day. The silvery clear is great for me. All the other colors lean towards a golden base and i can't use that. I need very cool colors so the silver sparkles are perfect. A little tip is the clear which i also use is bogo always just look online for the coupon. I personally only buy when its bogo bc i don't get any plump from it. And i stock up. The colors ate usually bogo 2-3 times a year.
Stop! Please read about this amazing product!
This is the only lip plumper that I have ever purchased, that from the ordering process to the actual functionality of the item IT WAS PERFECT! Easy to order, inexpensive as well as the feeling is nice. Definitely no burning sensation, I have very sensitive lips to inner mouth and cannot handel heat. Thank you City Beauty
Always Count Me In - Even After
I've been using City Lips for about 10 years. Sometimes there's a BOGO & I rush to purchase it and of course, where there's not - I am a dedicated City Lips customer. I promise you, every "so called" lip plumper by any other company - I've tried it & discarded it - nothing compares to CL! A slight humorous note - I'm almost 80 & I have instructed my husband to not let me be viewed before burial without my Lip Plumper! Never too early to make plans - right? LOL!
fall and winter that goes with all clothing colors!
An excellent color for fall. Lighter than French Fig in color but renders the same smoothness and conditioner for my lips. This color will wear well with all colors of clothing!
color for fall no one will regret!
French Fig is a beautiful fall color! City Lips glosses go on smooth and condition the lips as well as present wonderful color. I love the quality and color rendered from this lip gloss.
Well I placed the order with City Lips approximately 4 weeks ago & I'm still waiting for details regarding my order & payment. I think this is not good enough & would never again order from your company!!! There are other similar products more readily available that work just as well.
Love this product!
Love this product. I tried 99% of lip plumper and this one is by far the best. I have most all colors and probably have bought 20 to 30 clear throughout the years. Like I said, I love it. It works.
Love this product
As a 81 year old, my lips seem to have almost disappeared, but after using City Lips for the past year they have fewer lines and more plumped. Very happy with the results.
The Best Lip Gloss
This lip gloss is the best. When I apply it under my lipstick, it makes my lipstick last a really long time. I also like applying it at night before bed.
Great moisturizer for lips
I wast first hesitating to try the city lips lipgloss, once I try it I can assure that the lip gloss is one of the best in the market. The plumping effect is not noticeable (for me at least) but other reviews said that this will come with time with continue use, and I will do.
Perfect product for hydration
As an older customer, lip hydration is important. I love the plumping and hydration effects I get with City Lips. The Sun Diego shading is perfect for being present, but not over-stated. It goes anywhere from the everyday to the dressed-up look and I never look like I'm trying too hard. I have quit buying any other lip product brand.

A CLOSER LOOK AT THE REVIEWS
City Lips: hydration, plumping and the trade-offs
Does City Lips work? The answer in these customer accounts depends on what you want from it. Hydration, texture and a fuller-looking finish are different outcomes. The examples below include praise, mixed experiences and complaints so you can compare them separately.
Prepared by City Beauty · September 2026 · Based on the September 4, 2026 store export, not independent product testing.
Hydration and everyday wear
Some reviewers describe moisture as a reason to keep using the gloss. Ellen describes daily use for moisture; another long-time user describes hydration and a gentle lift.
Different experiences of plumping
A four-star reviewer reports a fuller look. Other reviewers like the gloss or moisturized feel but say they did not see plumping. A positive overall rating is not necessarily a report of fuller lips.
Texture is a trade-off
One reviewer likes the texture and describes it as less sticky than other glosses. Others describe stickiness and no noticeable results. These examples show why texture preferences matter alongside expectations of plumping.
These are selected examples, not a frequency analysis or a prediction of your results. The collection groups City Lips variants, including clear and colored glosses, across different dates. It does not isolate a single shade or formula.
Of the 2,247 review records in this collection, 815 carry the store’s verified-purchase flag. All ratings contribute to the displayed average; unflagged reviews are not described as verified. Read the review methodology.
City Lips questions, answered
Will City Lips make my lips look fuller?
Some linked reviewers report a fuller look; others report moisture or shine without plumping. This review collection cannot establish how much change you will see, how quickly it will happen or how long it will last. Compare four-star experiences with one-star experiences before deciding.
Is City Lips sticky?
Opinions differ. The texture examples above include customers who enjoy the feel and customers who find it sticky. A rating alone does not explain that preference, so read the accompanying review text.
How do I use City Lips?
The brand’s instructions say to apply generously to clean, dry lips. Check the official City Lips page for current directions and ingredients for your selected variant. Instructions checked September 8, 2026.
What if I’m not happy with my purchase?
As checked September 8, 2026, the official product page advertises a 60-day money-back guarantee unless otherwise stated, with shipping excluded from the refund. It asks customers to contact [email protected] for return instructions. Confirm the terms that apply to your order; this review website does not process returns.
