I have been using City Lips for over two weeks now. My fair opinion on it so far is this:
(1) It has not plumped my lips at all.
(2) It has not helped with any of the fine wrinkles around the outside of my lips.
Now, I can say I have used City Lips every day at least morning and night and sometimes one time during the day. I am a habitual chapstick user because my lips stay dry all the time. From the first day that I started using City Lips, my lips became moisturized, soft, and I totally quit using my chapstick. That is why I gave it a high rating. I wish it would do the other things, but just the softness of my lips and the moisture back in them is a huge plus!
One other quick comment. I don't like the stickiness it has when you first put it on. Everything sticks to my lips if I'm not careful and haven't let them dry enough. I can't get more honest then this, but perhaps the longer I use it, the more results I will get.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
