City Beauty City Lips Plumping Lip Gloss - High-Shine Gloss for Fuller, Younger-Looking Lips | Hydrating & Smoothing Lip Treatment Hyaluronic Acid

Best lip gloss I’ve ever purchased. Pluming, rich color (fig), and somehow not sticky.

If I could give a “0” I would—$35 down the drain. It was sticky, thick, tingling. It most definitely transfers, and did not plump at all…I tried to get it off, but it wouldn’t come off, so I had to wash it off. what an inconsistent product. Apparently some people liked it, but if you look at the reviews, they are all over the map. I certainly wouldn’t buy any City Beauty Lips again, clearly their Quality Control Team are sleeping on the job.

This is my new favorite lip product! It’s very moisturizing and when layered over a matte color like the NARS pencils, this gloss gives the matte color really nice depth and much longer wear, as well as nice shine. I have two colors and plan to add the clear. I’m hoping they add a good opaque hot pink/fuchsia to their lineup. I also have sensitivities to most lip makeup, and this gloss feels great. It’s fragrance free, which really helps. Of note, I have experience in the beauty industry and my favorite plumping ingredient is hyaluronic acid, which this gloss contains. The usual peppermint/cinnamon/other burning or tingling ingredients are technically irritants, which is how they provide any sensation of plumping action. However, I haven’t seen any lip product really plump the lips much, so I wish everyone would stop trying to achieve that in a makeup product. Bottom line: this gloss is fabulous if you’re smart about lip ‘plumpers’.

My honest review about this product is, although it’s definitely hydrating on my lips, it doesn’t produce a plumping effect just as being exaggeratingly advertised. I’m just speaking of the lipgloss itself. I haven’t tried their other products that claim dramatic results upon using in addition to it. This lipgloss is not transfer-proof and the longevity is subpar when used by itself. You’ll have to constantly re-apply quite a few times throughout the day as it goes away pretty fast especially after you eat or drink. The reason for my 3-star review is that, I’ve noticed that my lips have become healthier than before using this product. I’ve tried so many brands in the past that were even more expensive than this and they made my lips dry and even chapped. This lipgloss stands out as it does the opposite. My lips feel and look supple even after taking it off. When it comes to color, I always opt for opaque, warm undertone shades matching the natural color of my lips. I’ve read some of the reviews here claiming that the nude or lighter shades almost make their lips look white or pale so I’m glad I picked the right colors for myself. I suggest utilizing their virtual try-on option first, to give you an idea as to how each shade may look on your lips. Price-wise, it’s pretty tough to rationalize spending over $30 on a tube that doesn’t even last for a month but for what it’s worth, I must say it’s a pretty good investment. They could’ve made their price point more reasonable than what it is, but for someone like me who doesn’t wear & spend money on a lot of make up & other stuff, this lipgloss doesn’t break the bank. Unlike a lot of women these days that slap on or war paint their faces with heavy pounds of make up, I always prefer to go natural-looking, so this lipgloss has become a great addition to my tinted moisturizer when going out. It makes me look like I spend a little more effort with very little time to appear quite aesthetic on all occasions.

I’ve been an Esthetician for 25 years while makeup is not my specialty I’ve tried many different lip moisturizers plumpers etc this is awesome. It works lovely. It has such a natural look. No tingling, irritation or redness. I suggest it always gently exfoliate your lips. This way you can have better absorption of products with better results. The only reason why I give this 4 stars is because I feel like it is slightly overpriced. But either way, I look forward to trying other colors. And recommending it to clients and friends.

Finally found a hydrating lip gloss with staying power. I get frustrated at the current options available on the market because, while they all add shine for the 5 minutes they stay on your lips, none of them actually hydrate your lips. In fact many of them seem to zap moisture right out of them, leaving my always-dry lips feeling worse than before I used the gloss. The lip glosses that everyone called "sticky" were the only ones that did anything to hydrate my lips, and it's unfortunate that so many cosmetic companies have changed their formulas to the lower quality, drying, greasy waste of money that they all push now. I have been looking desperately to find a replacement for my last tube of Clinique long wear lip gloss, as it's almost empty and I was starting to panic, thinking I was doomed to a world of useless "lip butters" and "lip oils" that I have to reapply 17 times a day. I suppose I'm in the minority of women who want the "sticky" lip glosses back (pleeeease!) I've seen this City Lips lip gloss on Instagram so many times and ignored it, figuring it was no different from all the other junk out there right now. But there's a new version of the ad now that made me take a second look and finally pull the trigger. It's a significant price tag, so I was a little nervous, but I was not disappointed. While this gloss is not quite as "sticky" as my trusty Clinique, it still has similar staying power, and it feels at least equally hydrating. I've only had it for one day, but I already know I've found my new favorite, and as long as they don't change formula, I'm a lifer. I'm in my mid 40's so my lips are not as smooth as they once were. This gloss does help plump up the little natural creases in my lips. The effect is subtle, but at my age every little bit matters. And I appreciate that I personally don't feel any tingle or burning when I put it on. There is a bit of an odd smell to it while I apply it, but it seems to dissipate quickly afterwards, and it tastes slightly sweet, not perfumy like other glosses I've had the displeasure of trying out. The tube is pretty large, so I feel like I'm getting a lot for the price. It's noticeably larger than the old Clinique tube. Love, love, love it. Don't change a thing. Please.

It's just expensive lip gloss. No plumping. No tingling either, so that's good. It is moisturizing but so are my much cheaper lip glosses. You can see from the picture, my lips look the same. Just shinier. I was hoping this lived up to the hype but at least for me it doesn't.

I think the negative reviews are mostly due to unrealistic expectations. Of course a lip gloss is not going to make your lips look like you got them inflated at a clinic. Nothing topical can do that. But for a lip gloss, this stuff does make lips look slightly “done”. Meaning it makes them look a little bit plumper and reduces the appearance of lines on your lips. It cannot reduce the look of lines above your lips, only the ones ON your lips. I love the color and the feel of it. It’s not too sticky. It just feels good on my lips. It is not all day wear - you will have to reapply especially after eating and drinking. It does stay nice looking on me for hours if I’m not eating and drinking. Every all-day lip color I’ve ever tried, does not give any plumping look. And any plumping lip gloss I’ve tried, must be reapplied at least after eating. But I’ve tried many lip products over the years and rarely liked one as much as I like this one. This is my new fave!

Très bon produit avec un très joli colori pailleté ✨ qui correspond parfaitement. Repulpant pas trop agressif ce qui est un plus. L’effet hydratant par contre ne tiens pas très longtemps. Pour toute autre question, contactez directement le fournisseur.

I’m so impressed, my lips are never dry and are plump. I’m an repeat customer, this product doesn’t disappoint

All I can say is wow. Bought another colour. I was skeptical at first but this stuff is worth it. You can really feel it working on your lips. Best advice- give your lips a gentle exfoliation before applying the product. Don't irritate the lips but just enough to take any access dead skin off then apply city lips.

Mi mujer está contenta

I’ve been using this for couple months now and although it’s not immediate Ivan definitely see an improvement specifically around my top lip. I’ve just ordered another colour I’m that impressed. I’m a 60 year old woman whose lips are gradually disappearing but don’t want to use fillers etc,so I’m definitely happy with the results. Don’t give up if you don’t see improvement straight away, I stick with it.
