Maybe about a month ago I picked up this Almay Liquid Lip Balm from Target. Now I picked it up because I have been wanting to do a brand review on Almay because I feel like I never hear anyone talking about their products. Basically this product claims to have the lip conditioning care of a balm with the shiny color of a lip gloss. To be honest I'm not really into lip gloss and I don't own many of them. I don't like the fact that they are usually sticky and personally I just don't think they look that good on me, I am more of a matte lip person.
Anyways, I picked mine up in the shade "Just Plum Good" which is kind of a darker reddish plum color but nothing to dramatic. It is a great shade for fall and looks really nice paired with a lip stain. Now on the website it claims that, "shiny color drenches lips with 2x hydration as lip-loving conditioners provide 194% more moisture for softer, smoother lips over time. non-sticky."
I'm not to sure if it really "conditions" your lips but I do like the fact that it isn't sticky at all. It also doesn't have any bits of shimmer or glitter in it which I like, it just has a nice glossy finish. As far as meeting the claims go, it isn't sticky and it does give a shiny color but I don't know if its really hydrating. I haven't noticed it to dry out my lips or anything, but I am someone who has chapped lips a lot so I'm always wearing lip balm. So I can't really tell if it is hydrating.
They are about $4.99 at Target and the shade range is pretty good. They come in 10 different shades, from a bright red to a lilac to a light pink.
So my final thoughts on this product are that I actually like it. It isn't sticky which is one of the things I hate most about lip glosses and I think it looks pretty good on me. There is a nice shade range and it is really reasonably priced at around $4.99 because most lip glosses I see at the drugstore can be anywhere from $6 to $8. This is a really good product for anyone looking for a non sticky lip gloss without any short of shimmer or glitter. I don't see a lot of "liquid lip balms" out besides this one and the Maybelline Color Elixirs, which just recently came out. But I think the Maybelline ones sell for around $8.99, which is in my opinion a bit pricey. I have no clue if they are similar because I haven't tried the Maybelline ones but all I know is that the Almay ones are about half the price.
All in all I am really impressed with this product and I think that I might purchase a few more shades in the future.
