As age steals volume from my lips. my top lip is starting to look a little thin to me. So I tried lip plumping glosses, but they just weren’t comfortable or effective.
They stung my lips, making me oddly aware of my lips at all times. Inevitably, the glosses ended up on my tongue making food taste weird and my tongue feel clumsy when I talked.
I was done with lip plumpers, resigned to a life with a thin top lip that gets thinner with every birthday. And then I found City Lips.
City Lips promises 3mm of plumping without pain. With no idea how to measure for the promised 3mm of plump, I did my own clinical measurement: an analytical look in the mirror. This product delivered!
I use the clear gloss so I can wear it over any color lipstick or stain. The gloss is a little thick, but that’s how I prefer it. I think it stays in place better and lasts longer than thinner glosses. Also, I think thick gloss has lesser chance of feathering into lip lines.
My lips regained some of that youthful volume that I’d been missing. And I could still talk and eat: two of my favorite things to do.
Sleep in this gloss and wake up with a plumper pout. I prefer using it at night–you get the plumping effect and it makes your lips really soft and hydrated. Use it throughout the day, under or over whatever color you’re using on your lips. I like using it over lip stains. Play around with it and see how it works best for you. Plumping lasted a few hours for me, and so did the glossy look.
I don’t use it every time I want to reapply gloss during the day, as this product is a little on the pricey side, around $30.
If fuller lips would put a big smile on your face, this product is worth the money.
City Beauty has the formula for fuller, plumper lips.
And when it comes to lips, PLUMP RULES.
