My experience so far

I have purchased the following colors: Clear (in multiples and gifted some), Cherry, Watermelon, Midnight Sparkle, Sun Diego, Nude York, and Crimson. Clear: will purchase again. Cherry: is a bright red, I like it. Would like to see a darker red. Watermelon: is like applying Pepto Bismol. To make things worse, it settles in every lip line. It's my fault; the color is exactly what it looks like online, but I was hopeful it would look good. I have tried it a few times, and it is the worst. Midnight Sparkle: I am not crazy about glitter on my lips, but this color will stay in my collection. It is a step up from clear but not dramatic. Nude York: It end up in the trash, not a good color for me. Sun Diego: I do not like the color, but I keep it in my purse. I use it when I am out and about to finish it, but I will not repurchase. Crimson: I prefer opaque, in the models it looks as described, "cool-toned deep rose", I am fair to Med, and it looks almost brown on me. The tube is darker than depicted on the website pictures. I use it a lot, I wish it were a deep rose, then I would have multiple tubes in different locations (purse, and my two jobs, backup tube). I have considered Pink Nude, but it might just make me look like I don't have any lips; it looks so light in the picture. I bet it is still better than Watermelon :( When it comes to the plumping effect, it is minimal even with daily use. When I reapply, I get no plumping effect, not even the optical illusion. What I like about the formula is the pillowy feeling.

It’s just Vaseline

Such a BEAUTIFUL NATURAL COLOR

This was the first time I ordered anything from “City Beauty” and I’m really happy that it was the “South Peach” lip plumping gloss! This is such a beautiful, natural, hydrating, and just the right amount of “glossiness” (without the sticky that most others would give you the feeling of) lip color. As far as the “plumping action,” it’s not as much as I would have expected it to have given the “hype” that surrounds it, but it does give you a subtle amount of plump that you can see if you take a before and after picture (especially in the morning with fresh lips and a fresh face without makeup or any other products applied). I will say that wearing this to the beach was not the best idea as the glossy shine did attract the sun a bit more to my lips causing them to get slightly burned, however applying the amazing lip oil to them at bedtime made them feel and look just fine after it absorbed and there was no issues whatsoever with my lips being dry or peeling like sunburns (even on your lips) can sometimes still cause to happen. Overall I think this is an amazing product and I will definitely be making this a part of my favorites as well as checking out the other wonderful and beautiful colors that are available. I’m really happy that I decided to just take a chance and step out of my “usual comfort box” of what I normally use and wear to try some of what “City Beauty” has to offer!

Love this plumper!

This is the best plumper I’ve ever used. My lips stay hydrated and healthy!

NO PLUMP & messes anything under or over it.

First of all - NO PLUMP; second, DOESN’T LAST at all; third, NO WAY helps OVER TIME (I tried); fourth-eighth (and I could go on….), MESSY, STICKY, BLEEDS, ACCENTUATES LINES; ruins anything put on lips under or over. How many studies, people, their ages, and who did the studies & when…… because I canNOT fathom how they reached these 90 percentiles positive results. Seems to me, it’s more about jumping on the bandwagon and getting carried away by the smart media, ads, and WISHFUL THINKING so many of us can’t seem to give up. That, or the HIGH PRICE TAG means quality & results to TOO MANY, or likely the two combined. SHINE is deceptive and so is the hype here. There seem to be a good number of negative reviews, that’s for sure. I continue to try some of their other products influencers praise, but am getting to the point that I believe NOTHING on social media anymore - certainly not all the sales pitches (which have rapidly taken over all aspects of SOCIAL media, like the PIED PIPER)! Can’t comment on other products yet, but losing faith as I go - in media, studies, AND so called unbiased reviews. Too bad I’m going on 72 & can’t seem to keep hoping🤪
