Feminine Fashion and Beauty Blogger Elizabeth Hugen of Lizzie in Lace shares her honest City Beauty review

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of City Beauty. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

 

I’m getting older and realizing my skin isn’t what it used to be. As someone that worked for a dermatologist for years, I’ve always been very adamant and passionate about having a consistent skincare routine and using sun protection to minimize damage. Even then, there have been some things that have popped up as I’ve gotten older (*ahem* – jowls, crepey skin, and neck wrinkles just to name a few!).

Today, I am so excited to try a new-to-me brand, City Beauty. I chose some of their best-selling products to target these areas. While I haven’t read any City Beauty reviews, customer feedback on the website has been promising. Is City Beauty a hoax? Does City Beauty really work? Are City Beauty products worth it? That’s what we’re going to find out!

Read on for my honest City Beauty review and four week before and after results!!

What is City Beauty?

 

City Beauty is a skincare brand that includes everything you need for your skin and body. It all started in 2002 with the iconic City Beauty City Lips Plumping Lip Gloss. Since then it’s expanded to include products for face, eyes, lips and body. While most items are considered to be in the skincare realm, they do offer a few makeup products as well!

Yes! They use clean ingredients that are backed by science. Their USA-made products are 100% Leaping Bunny and PETA-certified cruelty free. Plus more than 80% of their company consists of women, which I love!

City Beauty Line Blurring Wrinkle Filler Review

 

I used this product around my eye and mouth area (see mouth area photos with Serum review). When looking in the mirror everyday, I didn’t see much of a difference. However, now that I’m looking at these photos, I can see a subtle difference in the fine lines around my eyes! I should note that I am smiling in all of these photos (because that’s when the lines are most noticeable). The lines definitely look smoother in the after photos and I’m quite happy with my results after 4 weeks of use. I can’t wait to see how this area looks in a few months!

City Beauty Lid Lifting Treatment Review

 

I used this City Beauty Lid Lift on my eyelid area. Honestly, I can’t see a massive difference in the before and after photos BUT I can feel a difference. I have quite small eyes and they seem to look more wide open and lifted in real life. I can feel a tightening on my eyelid immediately after application and this has stayed with consistent everyday use. Overall, I really like this product overall and would love to give this one a bit more time to see if I can get more noticeable results!

City Beauty Uplift Firming Serum Review

 

I used this City Beauty serum on my neck and jawline area and honestly, I think this is the one I’m most surprised by! I didn’t see much of a difference day to day, which is why it’s so important to take before and after photos! However, I can clearly see lines being smoothed out in the after photos (especially in the side view image). The wrinkles around my dimples and my skin texture in general seems to be smoothed out. I have not seen much a difference in my jaw area but I’m going to see how this does overtime. I’ll continue to use this product in conjunction with the other products!

City Beauty InvisiCrepe Body Balm Review

 

I used this product on my chest area. Since I don’t have much crepey skin to begin, my results don’t seem as dramatic. I see a very subtle difference in the photos but like the Lid Lifting Treatment, this is one that I’ve noticed more in person than in the photos. My skin just feels better overall – tighter, smoother, more hydrated, etc. I’m curious to see how this will do over time so I will continue to use it (and experiment with other areas of my body!).

Does City Beauty work?

 

This is the big question! In my opinion, yes!! After using these products consistently for 4 weeks, I can definitely see (and feel) a difference in my overall appearance. I think that the results have been subtle overall with the most dramatic results around my under eye and mouth areas.

In general, it takes quite a while for skincare products to work their magic so seeing anything after 4 weeks is pretty amazing. I find that the biggest results usually come in at the 3 and 6 month marks so I’m excited to see how these do long-term!
