My Take on Almay Pure Blends Lip Gloss:

It is the most horrible-smelling gloss I have ever come across.  The consistency is so weird, its okay only at a certain temperature.  I think it was fine in summers, but undoubtedly the most weirdest-smelling and the most weird-consistency gloss.  I couldn’t even spread it properly.  The smell is too plastic type to make me believe its organic.  The gloss in itself is very bizarre.

Coming to the colour, its a nude shade, washes me out completely.  I should have known that my skin tone is not meant for these kind of colours.  I picked it up in one of those “let me see how this looks on me” moods.  It has been a sheer waste.  Apart from the organic claim, I am trying hard to think what is so nice about this lip gloss.

Pros of Almay Pure Blends Lip Gloss:

  • Available in a variety of colours.
  • Easily available at Walmart, Target, etc.
  • Its cheap for a lip gloss.  I picked it up for 6 dollars I think and you can pick them up for as low as 2 dollars in those “buy one get another one” sales.
  • When applied correctly, it is extremely moisturizing.

Cons of Almay Pure Blends Lip Gloss:

  • The colour is a mismatch for my skin tone, I am very wheatish, the very Indian skin tone.
  • The consistency, smell and the gloss on its own.  There are many better options available out there and I would like to tell Almay that if they really had to make it organic, please make a gloss a gloss at least.

  1. Good grief! 😯 What a disappointment this must have been! :spank: I got excited reading that the gloss was paraben-free. So much for that if it can’t even serve its regular purpose. :headbang: Glad it’s not available in India. I’d have surely fallen for the whole “organic” schpeel. :silly:
