No

By Dawn M., Louisville, KY, Verified Reviewer

I wanted to love this, and I had really high hopes! It doesn't plump my lips...not even a little. After reading very mixed reviews, I ended up buying it because I have some lines around my mouth even though I do NOT smoke. I was hoping City Lips could help. It didn't help at all. It's a pretty lip gloss, but the shine is not worth the price tag.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

No difference in appearance of lips

By Patricia L., Georgia, Verified Reviewer

After using almost an entire tube of City Lips (which I purchased directly from their Facebook ad), I do not notice any significant change in the appearance of my lips or surrounding skin. The moisturizing properties are temporarily effective but no more than any other quality lip gloss. I applied several times daily and at night. Ultimately it did not meet my expectations.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Scam!

By Katherine M., Three Rivers, MI, Verified Reviewer

This is nothing more than overpriced lip gloss. City Lips does nothing to plump or repair lips. It’s not even a good moisturizer. Complete waste of money. Vaseline is a better moisturizer and is just as glossy.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not really satisfied

By Teri B., Helena, MT, Verified Reviewer

I saw pictures of someone having the lip line coated in some plumping cream and thought I was purchasing a product that goes around the lips at the lip line to get the “smoker's lines” plumped out. This was not the case. This was very misleading and I am disappointed and considering returning both tubes.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not worth the money

By Jane W., London, England, Verified Reviewer

I waited weeks for my order to arrive and I was so disappointed. It is just very thick, very sticky, clear lip gloss. It took hours to sink into my lips and didn't plump at all. A previous reviewer said her friends with lip fillers had results, I have lip fillers, but I found the high gloss simply drew attention to your lips. They aren't actually any different, the gloss leeches over the lip edge giving the impression of fullness. DO NOT waste your money! To add insult to injury, after a paying far too much for this, I was also charged a £13.85 import duty as I live in the UK. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I shall continue with lip fillers. At least they work.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Doesn't work

By Kammy B., California, Verified Reviewer

I purchased the 3 City Lips lip plumper special. They said it would help with lip wrinkles and that you won't need any more painful injections after using City Lips. I used it for 60 days like they suggested. The plumper only made my lip lines more pronounced, and the product did not last. I kept applying it all day long.

I ended up getting lip injections anyway, and I'm happy with my beautiful lips.

I contacted the company and told them my complaint and they told me I could not return it. I think this product is a SCAM.

I do not suggest wasting your money on City Lips lip plumper.

False advertisement

By Debra R., Sayville, NY, Verified Reviewer

The product is nothing like they described it to be. It made my lips shiny and that’s about it. It does not fill in any kind of lines around your mouth whatsoever. Total disappointment.

Length of Use: 6–12 months

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

No change whatsoever!

By Jeannette M., Los Gatos, CA, Verified Reviewer

Another con by the ailing and so competitive beauty industry! Fell for the hype, have been applying morning and night as per instructions for 3 weeks. No change at all! If you’re desperate save up for Botox. This does not work at all! Thank you.

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Not happy

By Tracey F., England, Verified Reviewer

I have still not received my order, and it has been nearly a month now. I have tried to contact them but with no success. I am saddened that I have paid nearly 40 pounds of my hard-earned money to get nothing for it.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Does NOTHING for me

By Maggy E., Massachusetts, Verified Reviewer

This product is just really expensive lip gloss with a bit of a tingle. Does absolutely NOTHING to reduce the appearance of wrinkles above my lips. Just gives me shiny, greasy lips. Yuck. I should have known better and not wasted my money.

Just average

By Tina L., Monroe, MI, Verified Reviewer

I am of almost 50 years old and watching my lips shrink and my lip lines increase. I purchased two City Lips lip gloss. The clear and Tinsel Town. When I first applied City Lips, I was quite excited when my lips were plump and fuller within two minutes following the application. I was so excited to use it twice a day and see the full results but was disappointed when it did nothing to my lip lines as shown on their website in pictures and other reviews for women my age. It’s very sticky when applied, which eventually absorbs into your lips. It does not sting like other lip plumpers that I’ve used in the past. So now I just use my city lips to moisturize my lips. Everyone has different lip concerns and reactions to products, so I think it’s worth a try if you are looking for a lip plumper that does not sting and will moisturize your lips, but don’t count on it doing anything to your lip lines.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
