Cargo Cosmetics - Brand Overview

Hi guys, I thought I would do a blog post today giving a brief overview of my favorite blush brand. I feel like they're underrated and not talked about enough! I recently expanded my cargo blush collection exponentially in the past few months and I must say they're blushes do not disappoint. Their shade range is so vast that I'm sure everyone will be able to find their perfect shade no matter what kind of skin tone they have. Sometimes they go on sale on Hautelook and you can get them for about 50% off but Hautelook is absolutely AWFUL when it comes to the handling of their merchandise and it also takes FOREVER for them to ship. I ordered 4 things from them last time and 3 arrived shattered. So order from Hautelook at your own risk.

Cargo's blushes come packaged in a simplistic metal tin with a pull off lid. I personally love the way they are packaged but some people might find it hard for travel because the lids do not screw on nor do they have a mirror. Each blush costs $26 and comes with a whopping 11 g or 0.37 oz of product. That's a lot of blush!! It's double the size of a Nars blush which contains 0.16 oz of product. Their beach blushes cost a bit more at $30/blush and come with the same amount of product as their regular blushes.

Now to talk about the blush itself - they are so smooth and buttery with buildable pigmentation. Sometimes I hate it when blushes are too pigmented and when you go to apply it you end up with clown face. This is not the case with my cargo blushes.  I can apply it lightly for just a flush of color or I can build it up to have more of an intense cheek look. I love that the product allows for that versatility. The blushes come in both mattes and shimmers and I must say their shimmers are not glittery. They are smooth and provide the most beautiful sheen to the cheeks without being over the top. Can you tell how much I love these blushes?? I own 8 of them plus 2 of their bronzers. I also have a couple more on their way to me in the mail.

I will do more in depth reviews of each shade when I have time. I will also share with you what I got when my Ulta package comes. But seriously - go out and try one of these! You won't regret it.
