City lips helped my dry and constantly peeling lips. It does not make my lips plumper. I keep using it as it's the only lip treatment that works for me. I did send back a tube as I did not like the colour but I never received a refund. Sent several emails with no response.
Just reviewing city beauty pumping lip gloss I have very average to slim lips! I have used this gloss off and on for quite a few years. I must say I always go back to this brand. I find it gives my lips More nourished fuller feeling not that I'm saying they look that much bigger? But I do go back to this brand that I think out performs most of the other products I've used. (No in states as international) my dog hit the screen?
Bought City Lips to get more volume and fuller lips. It delivered as advertised, makes me look and feel younger. This is a must have if you are over 50.
The product goes on sticky, and stays sticky until I put something over it. Being 76, I don't expect miracles, so as for plumping and eradicating lines I wasn't disappointed when it did not happen. However I did feel a nre softness in my lips, for which I was very pleased.
Though I like that the gloss keeps my lips from peeling when it's used, it does not heal them to the point of not having to use it all the time. Even with a natural color I'm not a fan of shiny lips, or the sticky feeling (my hair gets stuck in it all the time). So I just use it at bed time… Burt's Bees during the day.
Love the product itself as it stays on my lips and keeps them hydrated as someone that suffers from dry lips. However, the color selection is not great. Too many shimmer colors. Too many odd and warm colors and not many that suit us cool-toned women. I'd prefer more sheer colors like a clear with a hint of red or more dusty rose and plum type colors. I'm limited on what I can wear of these and not a huge fan of my lips sparkling.
I have been using City Lips Clear and have ordered several of the other colors. I have only received one tube that made my lips tingle. The others seem to be a great moisturizer and I do not have to use the product as often during the day as I did initially. I had hoped the product would help to plump my lips more (as advertised) and help with the fine lines around them. But, I have not seen that results. I normally do not give reviews but, I have been using the product for over a year and find that I really do like it otherwise, I would not be a return customer.
I have been using this product for quite awhile now. I use clear a lot but have also bought many of the colors- even the latest ones. I love how this makes my lips feel- keeps them moist and supple most of the day. However, I have not seen a lot of lip plumping. But that does not discourage me from buying this great product.
I feel that city lips keeps my lips more hydrated, but it definitely doesn't do anything around my lips. That being said I will still order it because of the moisture factor.
I have been a regular user of City Lips for a few years. Have religiously applied multiple times a day as well as part of my evening skin care routine. It leaves my lips "feeling" moisturised and soft however.... definitely has NOT removed or reduced the vertical lines around my lips! I have been cursed with "smokers lines" without having smoked a cigarette in my life. I have tried EVERYTHING to no avail. Tried all City Lips options and none do the job for me.
I do like these glosses. The colors are subtle and pretty. These do not plump my lips much, but they feel great and not sticky. I wish they lasted a little longer, but no gloss really does. Sparkling Cider has beautiful brown/pink/gold toned sparkles, but not a lot of color if that's what you're looking for. Pink Nude and Peachy Pink are almost identical so I wouldn't bother getting both. Overall great glosses.
I've been using City Lips for a year. My lips are not thin but not extremely full. City Lips definitely is moisturizing. My lips haven't become fuller after I started using City Lips, but they haven't become thinner either. Good for maintenance!
Here in the high and dry desert City Lips is the only thing that keeps my lips moist and I only have to use it two or three times a day as opposed to lip balm I had to use every hour.
My lips were aging including thinning and drying. They are smooth and moisturized as well as plumber after about two weeks use. I was disappointed that I spent a fair amount of time with customer service to be sure to be sent one clear tube and one pink. Instead, I got one clear and one New York, which I did not want. The product is great!
I do love this lip gloss. It feels like I kind of need to reapply often, but maybe I lick my lips too much. I love the shimmer of the colors, and I love the clear. I don't know that I feel a lot of pumping, but I need to use it to get a good idea of how it works. Overall, I love it, and I would re-order.
I turned 60 recently, and I have been using City Lips (clear) for a few years. It is absolutely one of the best lip products for chapped, dehydrated, or thin lips. I'm a Canadian woman who genuinely appreciates a product that keeps my lips moist during the cold fall and winter months. The ingredients are superb! No stinging, no irritation, no odors or unpleasant taste either. It truley deserves 5 stars 🌟 unfortunately, the shipping costs to Canada hurt you and me.
I do love this gloss But was extremely disappointed that when I received it it was half full.. Not sure if I received a faulty product or they all come that way. Will Purchase again tho…. hopefully it's full this time. Thanks for a great product.
I love this product! My lips were dry, cracked & looked old! After using City lips I feel like my lips have a youthful look! They feel better & the lines are reduced! I whole hardly recommend the clear lip product! It will keep your lips moist you will think that you have lipstick on & that's nice!!
I wouldn't say it makes your lips bigger, although they might appear a little fuller when it's on, BUT it's super hydrating and it stays on forEVER. My bf hates that it's so sticky but I don't care, it might be my favorite lipgloss after Dior.
I love the way my lips feel after using this. I am 75 and the color of my lips without this just fade into my overall face. This product actually makes my lips have the natural color they had when I was young. As for plumping, that has not happened but I am very happy with the results I have....softness and color. I am using the clear, no color lip plumper.
