Hello! I’m very excited to share these two Almay products
because it seems Almay products are really under rated. I never hear much about
them in blogs or vlogs. I admit I was one of those people too, passing the
Almay display without a second glance.
The first product I want to talk about, and my
favorite Almay product so far, not to mention favorite concearler, is the Almay
Clear Complexion Concealer +Treatment Gel Stick. I have always steered clear of
concealers because I’ve had plenty of bad experiences with them but I decided
to give this one a try.
The packaging is very simple and easy to use, you just
twist the metal tube and the concealer goes up. The lid also comes off easily
and stays on! This is a major plus for me because often enough the lids won’t
close all the way or fall off. I would definitely recommend this product for
travel. The concealer goes on smooth and is easily blend able. It has a clean
smell which is nice; I don’t like it when concealers have a fragrance. Another
plus was that I didn’t feel like I was wearing a ton of makeup when using this
and it didn’t make me break out. If that wasn’t enough, at the other end of the
stick there is an acne treatment that works wonders. I just dab this on my
problem areas and my acne is less visible the next day. Although it looks like
a light green color, the gel treatment dries clear. The only problem with the
gel is it didn’t last as long as the concealer end has. As you can see in the
picture there is hardly any left. However, the concealer has last me a good
three months and covers up the over pigmentation on my left cheek for good 8 hours. Costs: $8.94-9.99 (2.4ml)
After falling in love with this concealer I decided I needed
to pick up another Almay product to see how it compared in terms of quality.
Plus I was excited! I felt I had discovered a great brand. The next day I went
into Target and bought the Almay Moisturizing Eye Makeup Remover Liquid. I
really liked the packaging of this product also, it’s simple and you can see
the product inside. Similar to the concealer, it has no scent, it just smells
clean. What I didn’t like so much about
this product at first was the fact that it doesn’t have a pump. This was because
at first I would pour it into my hand and rub it in my face. I don’t recommend this
because I kept spilling it on my bathroom floor. I also ran into the problem of
pouring too much into my hand. This was solved though when I started using a
cotton ball. I would put the cotton ball on the opening and tip the bottle
over. This made everything a lot easier! The makeup came off faster too,
especially the glittery eye shadows. When I would use the cotton ball there are
no streaks of glitter or mascara under my eyes. I also noticed my face felt
nice and hydrated. I’m almost done with this product but it lasted a good three
months, I think it would have lasted longer if I hadn’t had trouble with spills
when I started using it. Costs: $4.49 (for 118ml *bargain*)
I recommend trying
both of these products or the Almay line in general, they are a hidden gem! I
will be picking up some more of their products and sharing the results!
