Given Hollywood’s obsession with eternal youth and flawless
skin, it was no surprise that CITY Cosmetics’
first best seller—the CITY Lips
lip gloss—was a runaway smash at several editions of
The Silver Spoon Hollywood Buffet,
Teri Hatcher’s much-publicized
birthday party parting gift and most recently, On3’s
2006 Critics Choice VIP Lounge.
Although pouts all over America and, later, the world were subsequently
pretty-fied, CITY Cosmetics, under the leadership of founder and
president Marie Taylor, did not
stop there.
“CITY Cosmetics recognized the need
for pain-free, long term and affordable alternative to injections
and cosmetic surgery because we ourselves had been searching for
a miracle,” said Senior VP Amy Jones. “As card-carrying
lipstick and lip-gloss devotees, we recognized that women who wanted
full beautiful lips had very few alternatives - they either had
to suffer through injections or endure stinging and burning of competing
lip plumpers containing cinnamon, menthol or spices. CITY
Cosmetics and our team of experts set out to create the perfect
lip treatment that would produce results without pain. From
there, we branched out into the search for other solutions to common
problems for men and women. CITY Cosmetics will never release a
product unless we truly feel that it offers unique benefits, lives
up to its promises and claims, and provides only the best with no
compromises.”
While new packaging that’s being launched is keeping the still-hot
line as fresh as can be, the Skin Refinisher,
Skin Remodeler, Wrinkle
Reverser, and of course, those great lip glosses (sold singly
or in sets), will still accomplish what they promise… produce
results safely and in the comfort of your own bathroom. Celebrities
that have declaired themselves real “CITY” girls include
Penelope Cruz, Jamie
King, Tyra Banks, Fergie,
Angela Basset, Lake
Bell and Carolina Bacardi.
This week, 5 lucky readers will have
their day in the City with a special gift set of CITY Cosmetics,
which are available at Sephora,
Fred Segal , Nordstrom
and Lord & Taylor.
