am I the only one who has noticed almay is not women of color friendly? I’ve never had luck with finding decent shades in their cosmetics. I find while other companies have advanced so much with quality Almay has lagged behind. I think they are owned by Revlon which makes it even more ironic…anyway I am not surprised that they have Kate Hudson as a rep, I like her but Almay always has blonde rep’s

What’s the difference between the liquid sun-block and the dry-touch sunblock they have out now? Does it work to prevent burning a lot more than the one out now? Is that the kind that leaves a sort of white cast on your face?

yeah thats what i thought too! But I just picked it up anyway hahah. I love anything that’ll help me from any kind of burning, tanning, oxidizing this summer. I’ll see if it’s any different from the dry-touch. Thanks!
