DON'T BOTHER

By Sandra S., Australia, Verified Reviewer

I waited a year to purchase City Lips as I was skeptical, and rightly so. It's a lot of money to pay (and it's much more when converted to $AUS) for a thick, sticky lip gloss. And that's all it is - a lip gloss - no plumping, no difference to fine lines! I've given it a good try for over 5 weeks, and nothing, no improvement. Consequently, I will never try any other products from City Beauty - it's all clever hype.

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

Lips

By Monique Rubio, San Jacinto, CA, Verified Reviewer

The clear lip gloss is a must. I bought one for my mom and myself, and it's not only a great natural lip plumper, but it also hydrates our lips. I highly recommend this product to anyone who is trying to get full-lushed lips.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Still waiting and ave been hit with a customs fee

By Liz R., North Wales, England, Verified Reviewer

I placed an order on the 13th of June for plumping City Lips and was redirected to what I thought was a free one, which turned out it was not, and I had paid for two. But it has been three weeks now and all I have received is a customs charge for £17.79. I am disgusted that people can rip you off and try and get away with it. I have contacted them as I want it sorted out, why should I pay because they want to make a fast buck by not paying correct fees?

I would definitely not buy these.

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

Very conditioning, nourishing, but not much plumping

By Yvonda T., Farmington, MO, Verified Reviewer

I love the way the City Lips make my lips FEEL, but when it comes to living up to the reputation of plumping and filling in the wrinkles and fine lines, it’s a bit disappointing. It does take my normally dry lips From using the CPAP machine every night and completely restores moisture and rejuvenates them as well, but as far as plumping, and filling in my wrinkles and fine lines? No, it does none of those things.

I would not pay any of the prices listed under the ordering options again for a nourishing lip gloss, even though it does qualify in my opinion as a lip revitalizer. I thought about trying a tinted gloss, but again, I would have to say no. They only way I would even consider paying the cheapest price I’ve found again is if they come out with a lip stain or color that is smudge, bleed, or smear proof type of color that will last all day without reapplication then being able to apply the clear over the smudge-proof color.

My lips do FEEL nice, but LOOKS the same as when I began using this product, over 4-5 months ago.

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

Appalling service

By Verna H., Perth, Western Australia, Australia, Verified Reviewer

I purchased double products by mistake due to the purchasing process and found the lip product reacts to my skin. I persevered (with NO results) until I could no longer use it.

Save your money!

No change

By Jan J., Nashville, TN, Verified Reviewer

I have been using this day and night for two weeks. Not a single change. Just sticky lips where my hair sticks to. I need to return for a refund. Very disappointed.

I will not recommend. Save your money!

City Lips is making my middle aged lips look young again

By Angie A., Kenosha, WI, Verified Reviewer

I've been eyeing this for months, and finally ordered it. It arrived today, and of course, I put it on immediately.

Now, my lips weren't totally dehydrated when I put it on - I was using Laneige overnight lip mask (but during the day), and I wiped what was left of it off before I put on the City Lips.

I immediately felt it. It wasn't a strong tingle/burn like the lip plumpers I've tried before, it was very subtle. But noticeable.

Then over the next hour, the color began to kind of soak into my lips along with the ingredients, so the color looked more subtle/sheer, but my lips were fat and gorgeous and the outline of them well defined.

I'm 39 and trying to hang onto a little bit of my youthfulness if I can. I'm keeping it together everywhere else, but the aging lips thing was starting to be a concern. I feel like the bad reviews here might be from people who still have youthful lips, to begin with, so don't have much progress to make with a product like this. But for me, I could see the difference right away, and I'm excited to see how it goes after I use it for a month. I'll try to come back and give an update then.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Thick and sticky

By Valerie B., Virginia, Verified Reviewer

I was excited to receive my two tubes of City Lips but disappointed when I used it. The formula is very thick and sticky when applied and pronounced the lines in my lips even more than without it. I tried the second day and when the wind caught my hair - it stuck to my lips! At that point, I was not willing to use it twice a day for at least two weeks to see what would happen. Waiting to get my return money.

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

False claims by City Lips!

By Sariana Sabatha, Seattle, WA, Verified Reviewer

This product did nothing that it claims to do! Did not plump or anything! I was expecting the results that the company claimed to happen with usage. It also tends to collect in between your lip corners. Don’t waste your money! Truly!

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

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
