Pros: lovely light, sheer, deeply stained finish; somewhat moisturizing; effective SPF!!
Cons: poor display of color; packaging problems; not a great value

I confess, I was shocked to see so many negative reviews of this product. I probably shouldn’t have been, since I completely understood how some women could dislike Almay’s Pure Tints. Myself, I love it with a few qualms, which is why I...

Pros: UVA/UVB Protection, Very Moisturizing
Cons: Colors don't stay true, packaging Design

Almay Pure Tints were something I saw on the shelf and just had to have, like I have to have all new beauty products. I have also heard a lot about the recently, and seen lots of adds in magazines. The combination of a brand-new overly advertised beauty...

I picked up a tube of Almay Pure Tints Protective Lip Care SPF 25 on a recent shopping trip at Dollar Tree. I love finding useful things there for only a buck! This item caught my eye because it had a sun protection factor of 25 and I picked up ...

Pros: Gives A Sheer Tint Of Color
Cons: Packaging, Price, Color Doesn't Last, Poor Color Selection

Shortly before being put on bedrest for pre-term labor, I went in search of a low key, easy to apply sheer tinted gloss. I was getting rather large and uncomfortable, and wanted to limit my time in front of the mirror, as well as find a lip color that...

Pros: Smooth and creamy, nice appearance, effective SPF
Cons: Packaging, limited color choices

When Almay came out with their Pure Tints Protective Lip Care recently I wondered what happened to the other SPF lip care product, Stay Smooth Anti-Chap Lipcolor. It’s still available in many stores and on a limited basis online. But...

Pros: Moisturises, SPF 25
Cons: bad applicator, doesn't last long, a little too thick, questionable colours

I have been in love with Almay Amazing Lasting make-up foundation for about 2 years now and am always wanting to try other Almay products. Unfortunately they are quite pricey and though I can justify spending AUS$30 on the foundation I have yet to...

Pros: Ooey, Gooey, and Gluey. So uhh.. I guess None!
Cons: applicator breaks & It don't screw back down

This winter time I have had such bad luck with my lips. I cannot seem to find anything that make my lips feel soft, while taking extra care not to dry them out, and make them crack. I seem to try *everything* and nothing works. So oneday I was at the ...

Pros: None. At all.
Cons: Terrible product. Bad colors, bad texture, bad packaging...read on!

When I saw Almay Pure Tints Protective Lip Care with SPF 25 at CVS, I was excited to try it. "Cute idea!!" I thought. "Theres SPF in a protective, sheer lip gloss/balm/stick thingy." And hey, it WOULD be cute!...
If it wasn't terrible!

...

Pros: gives lips shine and tint
Cons: tastes like chemical sunscreen, color may be allergen

I ran across Almay PureTints while looking for a replacement for my favorite lip balm. I was looking for something a bit more sophisticated and easier-wearing than candy-flavored lip gloss, but I was disappointed. Why I Was Fooled I bought ...

Pros: Sheer color
Cons: Everything but the sheer color

I'm just starting to wear a little makeup and I thought that Almay Pure Tints would be perfect to wear everyday after seeing it in a magazine ad. Wrong! The drugstore didn't offer any testers and you can't trust the color they promise on the packaging....

Pros: Brilliant shine, nice colour, smooth feel and great sun protection.Really moisturizing.
Cons: They supposedly don't retract (but mine do)

I don't really know what people are complaining about, I just bought 2 actually, one came as a bonus and it only cost $2.48. I found the stickers on the bottom to be completely accurate and not at all misleading. I bought them as a cheaper alternative to the Clinique Moisture Sheer Lipstick. I found them to be quite comparable; the only difference being that the Pure Tints are a bit more shimmery, which is nice. I bought the Mauve and the Clear came as a bonus, and I really like both of them. Also, mine DO contract; which is contrary to the other reviews, and actually on the package it says it won't contract but mine do -- lucky or what?!

Pros: The tint is long lasting and it makes my lips feel soft.
Cons: I think the color can be a bit misleading.

I have been using this for over 1 year and like the way it feels and the way the color lasts. I don't think that it has a sticky feel. I think that even after it has been on for a several hours the color lasts...unless you have eaten something. It also makes my lips feel very soft. I think the color can be a bit misleading, but I like the nude which really has more of a peach color on me. For the price this product can't be beat!

Pros: SPF 25
Cons: Colors are not as depicted on the package, and are horrible.

Cocoa, Mauve and Nude were really Orangey Brown, Orangey Coral, and Geranium Pink. And don't be fooled by the word "tints." These colors are opaque and bright. Brought them right back to Longs. Yuck!
