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

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.

Love this it does plump and it is a little spicy. A little sticky but great for the most part and it is beautiful on very subtle color and very glossy no smell or no unpleasant odor or taste

So I usually don’t write reviews, but I feel compelled given I’ve been using this product for a couple years now. It stays on so long the colors are great. I get compliments on it all the time. I have at least three of the colors. The hyaluronic acid makes such a difference, moisturizing them.

looks and feels great but no plumping effect.

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’.

Lip injections did not work well for me. I was planning to go for tattoo lip blushing until I used this product. It took one application to see results. It's amazing and gentle. At 65 my lips are now full and defined. My lips stay plumped even when the gloss wears off. The color does not feather into my wrinkles. It is a bit sticky but if you want to have results like this without injections or other procedures just get used to it and enjoy your new look!

I had high hopes I am over 50 and I have the small lines or on my lips and this sounded like a good product for myself it is moisturizing but I don't see really any big change in the plump department...I was going between this lip plumper and the smooch brand... this one just sounded like it had long term benefits but I'm not seeing any like instant results so I thought maybe using a little longer would help I don't know I'm not extremely pleased with it but I'm not saying that it's junk or anything like that either it is very moisturizing..my main thing was needing that plumpness to my lips that I'm not really getting with this product I'm not completely disappointed I guess. I'll try out the smooch brand and hopefully see the results I'm looking for. Just a little sad it didn't work for me. Now I've had this for a couple of months and I see no results than I would with chapstick. Very disappointed in this product for $35 this isn't cheap and I wish I had chosen the smooche brand instead. At least they had a good deal by one get one free. I really had high hopes for this product just kind of bummed and wasted $35 that I could have spent on perfume or something better.

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.

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