City Beauty Uplift Firming Serum

"Not all firming Serums are created equal"

First off, this is totally an honest review. I love serums, so I was going to be on the picky side for sure. I have used several City Beauty skincare products and LOVED them, so I had high expectations. You can read up on my other blog post here too.

I do regret having lipstick on in my before, because it triggered the YOU HAVE FILTERS ON eyeroll ladies on Instagram. LOL. I assure you I put ZERO touch up’s on these photos and used the same ring light in both. ( no natural light either ) which can diffuse skin clarity. See for yourself in 12 days my skin looked SO much better it was nuts. I continue to use it daily and I have had ZERO break outs since. I can’t believe how it has helped smooth and plump my skin so fast. Check it out!!!

My Before and Afters

Your skin clarity is so different and on top of that Uplift Serum helps your foundation go on like a dream. I have a lot of sun damage and it really helped smooth areas around my eyes as well.

You can see how through my cheek area, I usually have a lot of redness and discoloration. I love that you get plumping within 30 minutes and have longer lasting changes too.

(These are un-retouched and have no filters on them. 12 days apart too.)

Being 34, and being in the sun way too much in teenage years, my skin has a lot of discoloration. I know the importance of GOOD quality skincare and the difference it can make with a solid daily skincare routine.

“This ultra-concentrated serum firms, plumps, and tightens the appearance of sagging skin, while targeted ingredients hydrate and visually improve skin’s appearance with regular use.”

-City Beauty

Before

After using Uplift Firming Serum (12 days)

All in all, I was SUPER impressed with Uplift Serum. It has an easy self filling dropper and I put it on a thin layer after I take off my makeup and cleanse my skin. I highly recommend it!

Now for the good part. If you want to grab it for yourself, I have a 25% code! Woohoo!!

“City Lips is a plumping lip gloss that gives you both an immediate and long-term solution for your lips. With innovative ingredients that helps restore healthy lips, it delivers deep hydration for instant plumping, long-lasting comfort, and smooths out lip lines & wrinkles.” -CB

Lip Plumper Details

City Beauty Recommends for best results, to
apply twice a day—once in the morning and once at night. You can apply
City Lips slightly outside the lip line to help with lines and wrinkles
around the lips. We recommend applying and using City Lips this way as
part of your nighttime skincare routine.

Let's Talk Ingredients

Let me start out by saying I am pretty picky about skincare and makeup products. My skin for sure changed after my twins and it became more sensitive to whatever skin care routine I was doing. I also was looking for a lip plumper that didn’t burn when you applied it.

“The City Beauty line is designed with skin-rejuvenating and collagen-supporting actives such as Hyaluronic Acid, Oligopeptides, Resveratrol, and Vitamin C, just to name a few.”- City Beauty

Beyond amazing and effective ingredients City Beauty is also Cruelty Free which is important to me.

Multi-Action Sculpting Cream

“This luxurious cream is designed to visibly restore skin’s elasticity – by lifting, tightening, and firming the look of sagging skin. Our formula nourishes your skin with the vital building blocks that give young skin its taut, springy feel.”

This Sculpting Cream is amazing for your neck and chest area which gets a lot of sun damage. Your neck and decolletage need some loving too!

What Does
Blue Defense HydroGel Do?

I LOVE THIS Moisturizer. I have several sun spots on my cheeks, and they have vastly improved within weeks which is Amazing! Highly Recommend this Gel!

This Meme always makes me giggle. But ladies….. it’s true. If JTT was your boy crush, it’s time for an Eye Cream.

City Beauty to the Rescue!

Under Eye Recovery is a brightening eye cream designed to brighten dark circles and get rid of puffiness under the eyes. The powerful formula also smooths fine-lines and wrinkles around the eye area.

Formulated Without:

Parabens / Sulfates / Phthalates / Mineral Oil / Gluten / Animal-Derived Ingredients / Nuts

Line Smoothing HydroMask

Is there anything more relaxing than a sheet mask? I think not. This mama needs ALL the pampering she can get. These amazing sheet mask are packed with a potent anti-aging serum that helps plump fine lines and helps soothe your skin after a long day.

“Line-Smoothing HydroMask is made with a unique,
bio-cellulose material that clings to the skin’s surface
to deliver a high-potency serum deep into the dermal
layer. This revolutionary material combined with our
Cell Young® Ice Plant Callus Extract and Hyaluronic Acid
serum delivers three times more skin-loving ingredients
than a traditional paper mask to help reduce the
appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve hydration
levels, and help protect the skin.”

Use Once or Twice a week! You deserve it.

Final Thoughts

I was super impressed with the packaging and the quality of the City Beauty products. All of their skincare I have been using is wonderful and worked great with my sensitive skin. I highly recommend the City Lips Plumper and the Hydrogel is a fantastic gel moisturizer! I can’t wait to try their other products! I have yet to try to Night Mask, so I will update you with my thoughts! Thank you so much City Beauty!
