CARGO Cosmetic Tins.

I have been recently re-acquainted with the amazing CARGO Cosmetic Tins. These are no ordinary tins. These are iconic, signature tins that are super durable, stackable and filled with makeup the pros love. My favorites are the bronzers, of course, and the lip quads.

For the bronzers, I have HydraBronze and BeachBlush.

HydraBronze ($30) is a wonderful bronzer that actually boosts the moisture level in the skin as yuwear it. It looks super powdery, but in fact it is super soft and applies smoothe as silk. It lays beautiful on the skin as it glides over fine lines and wrinkles. The light reflecting particles brighten the skin as it highlights it, but very naturally.

BeachBlush ($30) is a palette with four stripes of alternating blush and bronzer, making it the ultimate marriage of both. Cheeks look perfectly flushed and glowing, with the super fine shimmer that looks gorgeous as it brushes over skin.

Sunset Beach is a pink/bronze palette.

Coral Beach is a warm peach /bronze palette.

The Lip Gloss Quads ($24.00) contain four beautifully color coordinated triangles of gloss.   The glosses are very rich and creamy, and full of pigment. They are nice and glossy, but rely on more color than shine. It's like wearing a high shine lipstick, because it really wears so well.  Wear them separately, mix them, or layer them for a customized look.

Argentina is filled with nude and berry shades.

Oceana is filled with pink shades.

Gloss of the Day: CARGO High Definition Lip Gloss in Belize.

This CARGO lipgloss is from their blu-ray High Definition line of makeup. It is made for high definition filming, so the coverage is natural with a peptide and hyaluronic acid derivative spheres to plump and reduce fine lines making them invisible.  The color is described as a warm pink, but it looks very nude and natural on my lips, just warming the color up a bit. This lipgloss also features the Timestrip Technology to let you know to toss the gloss.

Gloss of the Day: CARGO Classic Lipgloss in Tobago.

CARGO Classic Lipgloss in Tobago is the perfect shade of baby pink. It goes on true to color and lasts a long time, with no stickiness at all.

Just as exciting as the perfect pink shade is the fact that this lipgloss features an innovative technology called Timestrip Technology.

Timestrip™ is a technology that remembers when a product was first opened and alerts you when it is no longer wise to use it. Simply insert the Timestrip™ into the cap and it is immediately activated. As the months go by the Timestrip™ window gradually turns red and, when the entire window is red (9 months later), it is time to replace your gloss.
