City Lips is a plumping lip gloss that is part of the City Beauty product line. It contains lab-tested, volume-enhancing ingredients that support smoother, plumper-looking lips while reducing the appearance of "smokers lines". The product uses hyaluronic acid microspheres that expand on contact to deliver a visible plumping effect within minutes, while oligopeptides help reduce the look of lip wrinkles and enhance lip volume for a smoother, fuller look.
Positive aspects of City Lips include its moisturizing effect and the fact that it comes in a variety of colors. The product has also won two Good Housekeeping awards. Negative aspects of City Lips are that some shades contain carmine, which may cause allergic reactions in some people.
Ingredients in City Lips include hyaluronic acid, oligopeptides, and skin-conditioners. The product is cruelty-free and made in the USA.
SEPHORA COLLECTION Outrageous Plump Intense Hydrating Lip Gloss is another plumping lip gloss that is available at Sephora. It contains peppermint oil and chili pepper extract for an extra boost to last all day.
Other lip plumpers available at Sephora contain ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, collagen, shea butter, and vitamin E. These ingredients work to keep lips hydrated and protect against water loss, while also smoothing lines and promoting a fuller appearance over time.
