I received a sample packet of this, so I don't know about the packaging. You don't need much so I was able to use the packet for several days. It turned my lips a scary blood red, but did not plump...

Feels fine on the lips, but did nothing to "plump" them. The packing is wasteful. Will not buy again. This review was originally written for City Cosmetics City Lips

All things considered this is a pretty good lip plumper. Most lip plumpers seem to work by stinging and irratating your lips. There is no stinging with this one which is nice. I do notice a small...

Is this worth full price of almost $30? No. Is it worth $10 when you find it on sale at Sephora, etc? Absolutely. I love the feel of this gloss, and I think that it does smooth out my lips...

A very nice product to use...great smell but it all boils down to "another really expensive lip gloss." No plumping as far as I could see. More wasted $$$, Meh! This review was originally written...

I love this stuff! It is such a nice, non gooey, lip gloss. I have medium/full lips already and it definitely makes them a bit plumper. I can see the fine lines filling in around both my top and...

I LOVE this product. first off, it's a nice non-sticky lipgloss.. faint smell of butter/brown sugar... and plumps my already-plump lips nicely, for a while anyway.. but most of all, I like how it...

Unfortunately, the plumping effects of city lips seem temporary. It's a great gloss to wear to go out, it's shiny and you can add Vaseline for extra moisture. It only plumps my lips for a couple...
