I've been using this wonderful product for MANY years! My lips were always dry and chapped - then I discovered CITY LIPS. I can't live without it and use it all day & every night. I never go out without it, have it in all colors and clear. It's amazing!
Works fabulously. I have been using 4 years and I would suggest this product to anyone! It is GREAT AND WORKS LIKE IT SHOWS IN PHOTOS. NORMA Hanks
Received my first order and very excited about this product. Love the night time lip oil. Other brands I have tried left my lips burning and itchy. My only question is, with my order, I received a card offering me $10.00 off my next order. Problem is expiration date is 12/31/24 ??? Today is 03/25/25! Will definitely order again but the $10.00 discount would have been nice.
just love it! never use anything else since I got it.
I thought these were mini lipsticks not blobs of lipstick on a card. I would not have paid $10 for it. Samples should be free - limited, but free. 🤷♀️
Please bring back the matte lipsticks !
Years ago I bought samples that were in a tube with an applicator and I thought that's what this was. It's those tiny bubbles less than a pinky nail of product.
When they say "sample," they mean it. $10 for a card with three one-use dots of lip gloss. This is the size other companies offer for free or as a free gift with purchase. Does NOT make me eager to purchase anything else. RIPOFF
I unwittingly ordered this thinking I was getting a set of 3 small vials of the lip gloss. It is exactly as pictured on the site, a card with 3 drops of color and a picture of 3 tubes. The description does not clarify this, and does not give the quantity provided. Absolutely not worth $10!! In my estimation, these should be provided free with a purchase. I will absolutely send this "sample card" back.
I've ordered the full size 3 times and love them. I will say - do not order the sampler - $10 for literally 3 dots! I thought it was going to be 3 mini tubes. Total rip off.
I see that the picture associated with this has been changed. When I purchased this it showed 3 tubes of lip gloss. I figured they would be minis for the price but it is a one time use sample that most cosmetic companies would throw into your order for free. Complete waste of $10.
This is the smallest sample I've ever seen. I'm not sure if I will be able to decide with one drop of gloss. Very disappointed. And, it came in a large (for the sample) box, marked "fragile, handle with care" and a ton of tissue paper. Seriously, it fits in an envelope! I guess I should have just blindly picked a color and bought a full tube. Just a waste of money.
I paid $10 for this sample and did not realize what I was getting. I assumed they would be in a small container but didn't realize it was just a dab of gloss in plastic packaging. My picture shows what you will get if you order this. I'm disappointed.
I ordered 2 of these, one for me and one for a gift. When it arrived it was not the trio sampler I was expecting. I thought it was going to be 3 mini bottles to try, but instead it's just 3 small bubble shaped blisters with a tiny bit of gloss in each. I paid $10 for this each? On the packaging you see the 3 small bottles and that's what I thought I was getting. Don't be fooled and this is not worth $10! More like $1 .. It's not worth the price to try in my opinion. It was totally misleading. Disappointed in City Beauty since I have ordered other items from them on amazon.
Mis-leading- these are not mini glosses yet just 3 one-time use finger samples. Love City Beauty and their product but this one threw me off. Very similar to the free samples you get with other brand orders.
This ought to be a free sample. Imagine my surprise when I received my order and thought my 3 shade sampler, that I paid $10 for was missing from the box. Wait- no- it is literally 3 dots of lip gloss on a sample CARD, not 3 sample sized tubes of lip gloss. This is like the free sample of foundation you might get for free from Sephora or Ulta. Absolutely ridiculous. Save your money, ladies. Sorry- I paid a lot of money for my order- this should have been included as a free sample/thank you. Will not be ordering again. I feel cheated.
This Sampler is miniscule and not worth $10. Very disappointed. They come in a 3 pack of very small rounds. These should be included for free as an actual promotional sample.
I absolutely LOVE my lip gloss. Won't ever go back to lip liner again! But I ordered this thinking it would be more than a small pod of lip gloss and I believe it should be considered a sample and not $10. I am a loyal customer but I believe honest reviews can be helpful.
This sampler pack is a total waste of money. The samples are so small that they don't even give you one full use. At over $3.00 per sample you should get more than a dot. This is the worst sampler I've ever purchased. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your money. Go to Sephora where they give you free samples.
recently purchased the City Lights Lip Plumping Sampler, expecting three small bottles of gloss as depicted in the product image. Unfortunately, this was misleading. The product arrived in a large box but contained only a piece of cardboard with minuscule gloss samples, akin to those given for free at malls. For $28 for two samplers, this was profoundly disappointing, as it held barely enough gloss for a couple of uses. Attempting to return the product proved futile; instead, I was offered more of the same unsatisfactory samples. This experience was entirely unsatisfactory, and if possible, I would rate it lower than one star.
