Cargo Cosmetics Overview

People have been asking me how I like Cargo Cosmetics (knowing I tried some of their products), so I decided I would do a post sharing my opinion on each product. This is my honest opinion and I purchased all of these on my own. If you're interested in purchasing any of the products mentioned click the product link or go to cargocosmetics.com.

Blu_ray Pressed Powder

Retail: $30

-Out of all the pressed powders I've tried (drugstores, high end) this has been my favorite. It matches my skin tone perfectly and the amazing part about it is there is only four shades to choose from, so it was really easy to find the one right for me. When putting this product on, it goes on nice and natural looking and not cakey. Sometimes I just put on a moisturizer and this and it's enough, without adding liquid foundation. 

Oil-Free Foundation

Retail: $34

-First off, you get tons for your money. You only pay $34 and get a whole plastic tube full of foundation. I've had mine for 2 months now (as my everyday foundation) and I'd say I've used right around 20% of it (and for my past record that's pretty good). You only need a pea size. However, my little tip is to take dabs of the foundation and put it around your face and then brush it in to your skin. That way you're sure to cover the whole face, with equal amounts and of course not wasting any product. The foundation isn't cakey and gives off a really natural glow. Cargo's foundation is oil-free therefore, it's not going to clog any pores and cause breakouts unlike other foundations. 

One Base

Retail: $26

-I've only used this a few times since I just purchased it a while ago. However, I find it very helpful. I wouldn't say I use it as a foundation because I either use foundation or I don't. Therefore, I'm using this as a really light concealer. As my other concealer, I'm using Mac's Studio Finish and that leaves a nice smooth surface just like this. However, this is more liquid like, even more than Clinique's All About Eyes concealer (in my opinion Clinique's has horrible coverage after a few hours). It's like a foundation but made for covering things up. I hate it when concealers start cracking and getting all discolored after a few hours and I yet to see this product do that. I'd definitely say Mac and Cargo is a toss up for first. 

Cargo Beach Bronzer in Coral Beach

Retail: $28

-Everyone raves over Cargo's bronzers and personally, I find them fabulous. For me, they replace blush but adds more of a unique touch due to the multiple colors. Honestly, I prefer more of the bronze look over the really blushy look. Cargo's bronzers are really high pigmented and gives a perfect glow. I put the product on before my powder and after my foundation so it sets in and gives me even more of a natural look. With so many different colors (cable, coral, echo, miami, and sunset), you're sure to find one you love. I can't think of another bronzer/blush I love more!

Cargo Foundation Brush

Retail: $30

-I don't know much about Cargo's brushes but they seem to be of great quality and really sturdy. When I used my foundation brush it went on really smooth and the turn out was gorgeous (this was my first Cargo brush). There was no shedding or fall out pieces. It's hard to compare this brush because I've only tried several brush brands but I would say it's compared to Lancome brushes.  

I can't really pin point which is my absolute favorite because they are all equally good and are used for different things. However, when I run out I will definitely be re-purchasing. 

Thanks for reading and check back later for a giveaway I will be doing tonight (2 winners!!).
