City lips

My lips were very thin lines. But the week I have used city lips, there has been a change. Hoping more fullness as time goes by.

So far so good.

City lips appears to be helping my upper lip which is very thin. I will continue to use it hopefully to see continued results.

Such a BEAUTIFUL NATURAL COLOR

This was the first time I ordered anything from "City Beauty" and I'm really happy that it was the "South Peach" lip plumping gloss! This is such a beautiful, natural, hydrating, and just the right amount of "glossiness" (without the sticky that most others would give you the feeling of) lip color. As far as the "plumping action," it's not as much as I would have expected it to have given the "hype" that surrounds it, but it does give you a subtle amount of plump that you can see if you take a before and after picture (especially in the morning with fresh lips and a fresh face without makeup or any other products applied). I will say that wearing this to the beach was not the best idea as the glossy shine did attract the sun a bit more to my lips causing them to get slightly burned, however applying the amazing lip oil to them at bedtime made them feel and look just fine after it absorbed and there was no issues whatsoever with my lips being dry or peeling like sunburns (even on your lips) can sometimes still cause to happen. Overall I think this is an amazing product and I will definitely be making this a part of my favorites as well as checking out the other wonderful and beautiful colors that are available. I'm really happy that I decided to just take a chance and step out of my "usual comfort box" of what I normally use and wear to try some of what "City Beauty" has to offer!

Very nice and a great base for lipstick

Love the moisture but not sure that it is helping with lip lines.

Conditioning

To be completely honest, this product did not give any volume to my lips whatsoever. I've been using it for about 3 weeks and maybe that takes time, but it does say it enhances volume in 10 minutes...not for me. However, my lips are now in great condition. I have sensitive lips and no matter what lipstick, gloss or chapstick I use, my lips will always dry out and crack and peel within a couple of days. Since using this, I have not had any drying in my lips, even after using my most drying red lipstick. I do not use this with lipstick since I like mattes and this stuff is thick and shiny. So the moisturizing/conditioning level alone is worth 5 stars, but this product does claim to give volume to lips, which it did not do for me so it wouldn't be a fair review to give 5 stars when it didn't fully do what it's advertised to do (for me).

Excellent as a lip treatment

I purchased this lip treatment in Tinsel Town. PROS: It comes in a very nice package which prevents any problems during shipping. The color is very sheer (I cannot tell there's any color at all once I apply it) which is nice if you want to apply it on top or under a lipstick. I normally have very dry lips and have to apply a balm a few times a day in any weather, and since I started using this product I only apply it once before bed and my lips remain very soft and hydrated all throughout the day, no cracking or peeling at all. I am very impressed. The burning at first application, common in most lip plumping products is not bad at all and it only lasts a couple of minutes the first time. CONS: The formula is very thick and it feels very sticky, I can feel my lips taking a second to separate. I was hoping it had more of an oil texture. It is also highly glossy, which might be something a lot of other people like. I noticed my lips to get a bit bigger the first time, but after that I don't really see a difference. In conclusion, I am going to keep this lip gloss for the night time. I love that the ingredients are clean, no animal testing and that it actually makes my lips soft and healthy.

City Lips

I have very dry lips and have always had to apply a lip balm every 30 min to a hour. When I saw the add for city lips on Pinterest I was intrigued but also skeptical that city lips would work as claimed. I'm in Canada and with the exchange rate and shipping this product is costly for me, and it took almost 3 weeks to get it, this is why I gave it 4 stars- I think they could offer free international shipping. When I tried my clear city lips for the first time my lips went red and tingled, this subsided after using a few times. Although if I put the product on the skin around my lips it does go pink still. Aside from those effects I have noticed the lines on my lips are not as deep and my lips are so moisturized. My lips appear a little plumped when I apply it. I only need to apply it a few times a day as it stays on and I don't find myself licking it off. It is quit sticky so I wear my hair in a ponytail when it is windy out so that my hair doesn't stick to my lips. Overall I am pleased with this product - I ordered clear, I no longer need any other lip balms or chapsticks, and it works well with lipstick. I will order again!

Good for Sensitive Lips

I am in my mid 40s and my natural lips are my best feature. So when I started noticing fine lines I immediately started my journey into lip plumpers. Too Faced and Sephora lip plumpers made my lips sting badly and swell - and then when the swelling went down and the pain went away my lips were raw and more wrinkly and crusty. Gross I know. Buxom lip plumpers plumped my lips and made my lips feel cool like I was kissing an ice cube. I loved the sensation and fullness Buxom gave me. I tried City Lips and to be honest - I cannot even tell if it worked because I felt no sensation at all. My lips did plump up to a natural look - no duck lips here. My lips looked like they did when I was in my 20s and that made me happy! I am thrilled with the smell as it reminds me a little of Pepto Bismol. This product is about $6 more than Buxom. City Lips really cling to your lips almost to the point of being tacky. I cannot use Kleenex tissue to wipe my lips because I get tissue particles stuck to my lips. I need to use a paper towel and really rub it off. This product does everything it claims. I wish it offered more colors. I received the Tokyo Kiss color. My lips are already somewhat pale and this really makes me look "dead." I often have to pair Tokyo with another shade to bring color back to my lips. This shade was more opaque than the website led me to believe. I suggest getting the clear gloss for first time purchase. I don't know if I would repurchase this product simply because Buxom works just as well, the price is a little less, and I can easily get it at my local Ulta store. But I will say that City Lips is safe for my sensitive lips and does everything it claims.
