CARGO lip glosses review and swatches


   As I've mentioned earlier, I found out about JC Penney Sephora's sale on CARGO products, so I went over there and picked up Tuscany lip gloss. I used it for about a week, and really enjoyed it, so I went back and got five more. I know, I have many lip glosses and I don't need these, but they were $4 each, which is such a steal, plus they are are very nice glosses. 

   Woodstock - sheer with pink pearl, great as a lipstick topper
   Nassau - sheer peachy gloss with multi-color micro-shimmer
   Tuscany - sheer baby pink with multi-color shimmer
   Aruba - semi-sheer warm pink with cream finish
   Rio - semi-sheer coral with cream finish
   Tokyo - medium opacity pink-red with cream finish


  Tuscany was my first CARGO lip product, and I am very impressed. These normally retail for $14, and come in 0.15 oz tubes. The packaging is very simple, and I really like that, because these are easy to put in a pocket or a wallet, as they don't take much space at all. 
  These glosses have a flat on both sides slightly longer than usual doe-foot applicator, which does a great job spreading the gloss on the lips. The consistency of this product is fairly thin, and non-sticky. The glosses apply smoothly and evenly, and feel very comfortable to wear. Even the shimmery ones dob't feel gritty at all. 
  These last about three hours on me, which is pretty good. 
  Overall, I am very impressed. While I, probably, wouldn't pay $14 for these, because I'd rather get a glossimer or a YSL golden gloss, these are great glosses, and if you have a JC Penney close to you, go check out their sale section, and try these.

    1. It is very pretty, but it is dupable, so could, probably, find something very similar from other brands for about the same price.
